ten years. or from 1900 to 1910. it has
more thar doubled While in 1910
the total value of our crops is esti-
mated at about $500, 900, 000.
In fruit growing We are not be-

Congress held at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
in November, 1910, with over thirty
States represented, North Carolina
took first prize and more prizes than
any other two States.
In 1896 the gross value of our
manufactured products was $40,3T5,-

than doubled in ten years. Within
the last ten years, or from 1900 to
1910, it has increased more than four
fold.

wagons for the morning delivery. The
city plants of these dealers have al
most no facilities for handling milk, and
consist chiefly of a business office, sta
BILE and laboratory.
The term milk bottled in the country
has become a prominent watchword for
advertising purposes in Chicago and is
one of the peculiarities of that city's milk
business. In the case Of the small dealers
the method followed is much the same as
that here.
Another popularity of the Chicago milk
business Is the existence of firm of milk
brokers. This concern will undertake to
find a customer who wishes to begin SELL
ing milk, and will find a producer-seller
for any middleman who wants to go into
the business. In addition this firm also
investigates the credit of buyers and
guarantees to shippers payment for their
milk.

AS a result some data has been gathered
which is interesting when made the SUBJ

Chicago the dealers are clearly divided
into two classes, the larger dealers hand

city dealers receive their supplies from
producers at country stations which they

tions are located near a railroad and con-

milk of that morning and the previous
evening.
When farmers cans have been emp
room the cans are passed to an adjoining
room, where they are washed and steamed
while the farmer waits. Milk handled at
these stations is bought by the hundred
