show production of 5, 1888, 251 pounds
of butter; 853, 551 pounds of cheese;
approximately 80, 900, 600 pounds of
whole milk at the condensed milk
factories, but with 10 attempt to
estimate the amount or value OF sweet
cream and milk used in the retail
trade of the cities. The 1910 census
gives our population as /, al, 800,
practically doubled. Returns of dairy
products manufactured and produced
during the same period ale some
thing as follows: 118, 7O1, 800 pounds
of whole milk delivered at the several
condenseries and manufactured into
condensed milk, an increase more
than doubling the output; l43, O35
pounds of cheese, about one sixth OF
that made ten years ago; 10, OBJ. OF
pounds of butter made as Washington
creamery butter in addition TO the
farm butter made and marketed,
thus about doubling the output in
that line. Ten years ago we had no
estimates OH city supply but for the
year ending October 31st, 1910 there
was used in the six or seven larger
cities of the state (no returns at hand
from the smaller towns) 1908, 3O5
gallons of milk and 1,242, 875 gallons
of sweet cream, both valued at about
81, 925, 600.
From the foregoing it is seen that
despite the decrease in output OF
cheese the amount and value Of the
manufactured dairy products has
more than doubled in the ten years,
just about keeping pace with the
proportionate increase in population.
In addition manufactured product is
the city supply mentioned, demand
for which is being constantly develop
ed and which is growing to vast pro-
portions. That the dairy industry is
making progress more rapid than
the population is demonstrated; that
there are still some seven to nine
million dollars expended i'll other
states to supply the home consumption
demand is also fact. The two taken
together certainly hold out the strong
est inducements and encouraging
prospects for the further advancement
of the industry.
Perhaps it would be we'll to speak a
Word hare as to tha MART the Dairy
and Food Department is taking In
this development. At the recent con-
vention of dairymen at Montesano
your president read a paper on the
care of cream on the farm in which
he stated in effect that the quality
of our butter was rather deteriorat-
ing than improving. From other
authority we learn that this complaint
is rather general throughout the
United States. In recent issue OF
an Eastern dairy journal the Hon.
Joel Winkjers, formerly with the
United States Department OF Agrl-
culture, but now Dairy and Food
Commissioner of Minnesota, outlined
a proposed plan whereby the butter
makers could cooperate with the
Dairy Department in the work of i'm
proving the grade of cream and con-
sequent quality of butter by report
ing to the department conditions on
each farm and then if such condi-

accomplished in this way and trust
if this system is continued that your
president may at some future con-
vention be enabled to report a sub
stantial betterment of conditions.
Only in the most aggravated cases
is cream condemned but wherever
possible one of the office assistants
goes over the different cream routes,
observing methods Of hauling and
caring for cream en- route to its des
tination. In this work railroads have
given assistance in protecting cream
at stations and in most cases butter
makers and creamery operators have
done everything possible to cooperate
with the department. Truly this is
a serious and important work and CO.
operation of all concerned, producer,
manufacturer, consumer and official
is necessary.

In this work of education this de-
partment is actively engaged. l will
not speak of the special work done by
us in conjunction with city health
departments to improve the milk and
cream supply of cities as that is
subject for other times and other
places, and, further. the work along
these lines is attested by the general
good quality of such supply. What
is said will relate more particularly
to the efforts to improve the cream
supply to creameries and supply OF
milk to condensories. In this L be-
Iieve. judging from the plan outlined
above by the Minnesota Commits
sioner, we are already ahead of them
in the educational line, for while we
are glad to get this information from
creamerymeu and try to act on it we
have not waited for it but have been
and are carrying our regular work to
the individual farmer. This is done
by personal visits of the force to the
farmer, where talks are had along any
lines he may ask and governing feed
ing, breeding and sanitary condi-
tions, with special reference to the
particular use to which he places his
product. Every dairy visited, whether
selling to city trade, creamerles or
condensories, is scored by the in
spector on blanks similar to those in
use by the United States Department
of Agriculture. This work OF educa-
ton is also carried out by means OF
the COW testing associations being
organized and through meetings,
being held by the department. force
in dairying districts. The depart
ment has supplied itself with first
class stereopticau outfit and slides
touching all phases of the industry
and while doing the field work after
noon and evening meetings are held
giving illustrated lectures. So far
this lecture work has not been carried
on extensively in the larger and more
accessible localities but in regions
where the people do not so easily
reach the outside world. Again. the
creameries are visited and cream as
received inspected and tests carried
on where requested. We feel that
much good has been and is being

Ten years ago the principal efforts

The cattle shows performed very

Premium money distributed among
the farmers has induced a minority OF
them to produce aristocratic creatures

Of the farmers attributed their failure
to get premiums to cattle show pol

did much toward better cereal crop

The Tribune never for a
moment believed the report, circu-
lated by Gov. Hadley, the Des Moines

the Taft people ever agreed to nomi-

Roosevelt would consent to withdraw.
Taft insisted that he would under no
circumstances compromise and a day
or SO before the nomination he told
his lieutenants at the convention that
he wanted the nomination and would
Insist upon it. There was never a
moment throughout the convention

would compromise. They had ad-
admitted that they did not expect to

ACQUISITION OF COMPARISON.

Some men were sitting IN a North
western car yesterday looking out at
the passing panorama Of fields and
farms. The talk was worth listening
TO. They had been on an extended ousl-
ness trip which had taken them over
Indiana. Wisconsin and Illinois Along
over in northern Illinois these men
concluded that they had seen no coun-
try which gave such evidences OF pros
perity and OF excellent crops. It was
certainly a tat land and the men from
the wooden nutmeg state and the stony
New York hillsides agreed that they
were looking on the ultimate Of fertil-
ity and prosperous farms. But the
train ran on and crossing the river
rushed into Iowa. Along at Dewitt the
fasteners began to exclaim- AS they
came on west and the marvel OF Iowa
production unrolled before their eyes
they exclaimed to one another as low
country people call TO one another
when they first see the mountains. At
Marshalltown they had changed all
previous impressions for one definite
conclusion that the garden of Eden
full or better adapted TO human habita-
ton and happiness. But" broke out
one Of them. this can be no poor
mans country. What does this land
sell at an acre." And the reply, which
put the price of farms around 5000 an
acre settled his conviction that this
is rich mans country.
1t is too. and a poor mans country
as we'll. He did not and probably could
not understand that men start without
a dollar and buy and pay for Iowa
farms at the high prices, the kind Of
men who deserve such farms as he saw
by reason Of business ability, industry
and frugality. He saw the farm worth
q kings ransom and failed to see the
quarter century OF patient toll and
careful management which has gone to
payin goff the mortgages. He saw the

in part the demand by merchants and
semt-annual reports by the leading
corporations show good gains COM
pared with the corresponding period in

ing that progress in the development
and expansion Of the country can not
be checked.
All statistical records point to i'm
provement. Railroad earnings for Juns

while bank clearings for the ten days
Of July increased So per cent over last
year and 40 per cent over 1910. Foreign
commerce at the port Of New York for
the latest week aggregated in value
$2s,s7s,s70, against $23.s54,o1s a year
ago and s2s, 4os, 6sS in 1910. The gain
was largely in imports, exports being
about the same in all three years.
The monthly statement of the lead
ing industrial reflects the further i'm
provement in iron and steel, there be-
ing another gain of 56,363 tons in un-
filled orders during June. Produc-
ton has been slightly curtailed be-
