The average yearly production Of
the dams was $3.50 pounds Of milk

average yearly production Of the q
daughters was 1888 pounds Of milk
and 263 pounds Of butter fat. In milk
production the daughters exceIled
their dams by e83 pounds or II per
cent. and in butter-fat production BY
A pounds. or 20 per cent. These are
not as large gains as some other bull
associations have given, but are well
worth while.
Because Of cooperative ownership
the bulls cost the farmers no more
than would have been paid for scrubs;
Il costs no more to feed the daush-
tiers than to feed the dams. and II
costs much less TO feed the bulls BE-
cause there were not 40 many OF them
The increased production, therefore

washington.-In the birth-registra

702 infants were born alive In 1917
representing a birth rate Of 24.6 pei

The total number Of deaths In the

by 74.4 per cent. For every state In
the registration area, for practically
ell the cities and for nearly all the
counties, the births exceeded the
deaths IN most cases by considerable
proportions. The mortality rate for
infasts under one year of age aver
aged 93.S per 1000 living births.
The foregoing are among the facts
Drought out by the census bureaus

The birth-registration area, estab-

comprised In 1917 the six New Eng
land states. Indiana. Kansas. Ken

less by six-tehths Of one per thousand

OF the total number of births report
ed 1880. 2SS, or 24.5 per 1000 were Of
white infants, and 1884, or 25.S per
1000, were of negro infants. The
death rates for the two elements of
the population were 1871 and 22.5 per
1000 respectively.
The infant mortality rate-that is,
the number Of deaths Of infants under
one year of age per 1000 born alive
throughout the birth-registration area
as a whole was 93.S in 1917, as against
101 In 1916 and 100 In 1915. This Is
equivalent to saying that in 1915 and
1916 Of every ten infants born alive
one died before reaching the age of
one year, whereas In 1917 the CORE
spending ratio was a trifie more than
one in eleven. Among the twenty states
these rates ranged from 67.4 for Min
nesota to 1919 for Maryland; and for
the white population separately the
lowest and the highest rates were 663
for Washington and 1905 for New
Hampshire.
The infant mortality rates vary
greatly for the two sexes and for the
various nationalities. The rate for
male infants in 1917, 1887 per 1000
living births. was nearly IS per cent
greater than that for female infants,
which was only 1913. When the COM
parison Is made on the basis Of race
or nationality of mother minimum of
66.2 per 1000 births is shown for In
fants with mothers born In Denmark.

of 1925 for infants with mothers born
in Poland, while for negro children the
rate was 1885.
