Des Moines, March s.--The make OF
butter for the year 1917 in Iowa was
94,269,6S5 pounds, decrease Of about
1900, 600 pounds over 1915 according
to the annual report of w. 3. Barney,
state dairy and food commissioner.
Creamery butter was made IN 40!
cyeameyIaS during the year. Since
Nov. !, 1915, twenty -tour new cream
cries have been built some OF these
cost as much as $4,000.
The output of ice cream in the state
for 1917 amounted to 4,22IS97 gallons,
about 100000 gallons less than IN
1916. This is considered an excellent
showing in the face of the increase IN
price Of raw materials.
Butter manufactured at Burt, Iowa,
by Paul AIaCauley, Won first prize at
the convention Of the National Cream
cry Buttermakers' Association, at Mil
wauke> Wis, in competition with but
ter exhibited from fifteen states. The
score was 9S.
The report touches at length upon
the cheese industry and pays a COM
pliment 10 D. J. Murphy, Waukon

for a revival in this line OF industry.
An interesting article in the report
concerns Matthew Van Deusen, Iowa
first buttermaker. His photograph ap-
pears, as does that of his creamery at
Spring Branch, located near Man
chester which was Quilt in 1872. Here
it was that Mr.. Van DeuseE made the
butter which won first prize at the

The report exhorts dairymen to help
win the war by increasing milk pro-
duction and to make more butter and
cheese than ever before.
