Poultry and Egg Industry
Leads Euery State in Union.

JEFFERSON City.-According to ad
vance information from the 1912 Rec
Book, on the poultry industry of Mis-
souri, for 1911, given out by Commits
sioner Austin w. Biggs, of the State
Bureau of Labor Statistics, this state
not only leads every state in the
Union in the value of the poultry pro
duction, but exceeded it's own record
for any previous year.
"That the poultry industry of Mis-.
souri," says Commissioner Biggs, 'is
a potent factor in keeping the state
in the front rank of the common.
wealths, is shown by the fact that last
year the farmers shipped to market
eggs, poultry and feathers to the value
of $28,S18,145. Added to this is the
estimated value of these commodities
consumed locally, which is placed at
$22,0 900, bringing the total valua-
ton for the year up to $50,818,1 las.
When 1t is remembered that the three
and one.half million citizens Of the
state were first supplied with these
products before a dollars worth was
shipped it will be seen that the esti-
mate Of $22,OOO,0OO worth for local
consumption is very conservative.
"From the actual shipment figures
w find that there were S2,O6O,7O2
pounds Of live poultry, valued at
$S,206,070 dressed poultry, 39,573,073
pounds, valued at $4,946,634; 101,417,-
700 dozen eggs, worth $15,212, 1855, and
1,131,965 pounds of feathers, worth
$452,7 1856.
Counting the actual shipments
only, the Missouri hen laid enough
eggs in 1911 to give every man, wom-
an and child in the United States
nearly IA eggs, while every resident
of the United States, were the distri-
button made equally, would be enti-
tied to one and one-third pounds of
the 1911 shipment of poultry.
with the poultry production, for
the year in question, placed at $780,
600, 900, it is Of interest to note that

this exceeded the value of the wheat
crop of Kansas for the same year. II
was worth nearly as much as the com
bined cotton crop of Florida, Louis
lana and Tennessee.
The total value of the tobacco pro.
duced in Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Missouri, New York,
North Carolina, Kentucky and Ten
nessee was $50,441, 1851, or practically
the same as the poultry production
of Missouri.
Another startling comparison shows
the value of the poultry products Of
Missouri for 1911 to be greater than
the combined value of all the gold
and silver produced in Colorado, Cal
ifornia and Arizona for the same
year.

account being taken of the thousands
of head of cattle, hogs and sheep
which were driven on foot to the sew
eral large packing centers, the ship
ments made by boat or local consump-
ton of these animals. A conservative
estimate of these three items will add
1,760,000 head to the total of the state,
bringing the grand total for the year
in question up to 5000, 729 head, with
a total valuation of $177, 374,420.
While it has often been claimed
that the increase in the number of au-
tomobiles would have a tendency to
lower the prices on horses and mules,
just the contrary seems to be true,
for the number of autos in use IN the
state have increased from approx
mately 1850 in 1909 to 1887 in 1911,
while during the same period the val
lie. of horses and mules increased
from $110 to $125 per head. The av-
erage price per head on cattle and
sheep vas a trife higher in 1911 than
in 1910, while hogs showed a slight
decrease.
Below is given the five leading
counties in the number of cattle, hogs,
horses and mules and sheep shipped
to market in 1911, with the amount
shipped from each.
