prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
According to the census of 1910
there were 2,906525 ducks in the
United States, valued at 1867, 164,
showing a decrease in number of
nearly 40 per cent as compared with
1900. 1t should be stated, however,
that the animal census of 1900 was
taken June 1, and that of 1910 April
10, which fact would considerably re-
duce the above percentage, although
only fowls three months old or over
were reported on only 70 per cent of
the farms in the country and are most
numerous in the following states, ar
ranged according to their production ::
Iowa, Illinois, New York, PennSyl-
vania, Missouri, Tennessee, Indiana,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
Ohio, the number ranging from about
225,o00 head in Iowa to 100000 in
Ohio. New York is the only one of
these states which shows an increase
in the number of ducks, while all the
others show marked decrease. Long
Island, n. Y, contains a number of
large commercial duck farms which
apparently are quite successful. 1t
would appear, therefore, that CONNER
