grain for smaller returns.
clarifying got it's big start in Min
nesota back in the early nineties
Wheat farming had decreased the fer
Utility OF the soil, and the farmers had
to adopt diversified farming. The
dairy COW came to the rescue. She
could eat the roughness and convert
it into money. Minnesota had but
$4,000 COWS then. The average re-
turn was only 40 pounds of butter
tat per COW. Now Minnesota has
l,395,OOO COWS according to our figures
and each COW produces an average of
l66 pounds of butter fat year.
The gross returns to the state
from it's COWS in 1880 was but $780,
600. Now dairy products exceed
$2OO,0O0,OO0 III value every year. Since
1910, the production Of butter in Min
nesota had increased from 95OOO,OOO
pounds to 139,OO0,O0O pounds in 1920.
The average creamery paid out to it's
patrons $4,000 in 1910. In 1920, the
amount had jumped to more than
$1OS,OOO
THAT'S how fast the COW has been
coming into her own in Minnesota,
More and more the farmers are go
ing into dairying. Patrons Of the Min
nesota creameries in 1920 totaled more
than 125,000. Dairying is sweeping
the state, and undoubtedly the output
OF creamery butter will be doubled in
few years. With the industry firm
~ established in Southern and Gen.
trail Minnesota, the butter line is push
ing rapidly northward. Even up in
the Red River Valley, where the farm
ers have always been devoted to wheat
raising, dairying is gaining foothold
Settlers in the cut-over counties in
the north, who have fought hard to
gain a foothold by other means, are
turning to the COW. Possibilities for
dairying in Northern Minnesota are
almost limitless. There are millions
of acres of land bearing good summer
range for stock. Tame grasses are
bountiful, and clover grows almost
like weed. AS the clearing and set
Element proceeds northward, the dairy
COW is following. Eventually, this will
be one Of the great dairy strongholds."
Mr.. Heen stopped for a moment.
and that gave me an opportunity to
ask him another question-why Mill
nesota make so much butter?
1.-THE state has great natural re-
sources such as grass and clover" he
said. '"The climate. too is favorable.

their butter more effectively. Mr.

vertise Minnesota cooperative butter
The dairy industry is decidedly a
growing business in Minnesota and it's
neighboring states. According to the
1920 census, Minnesota gained Az, 070
COWS, an increase of ILL per cent, in
10 years. This, would give Minnesota
1872, 458 dairy cows. Of the 3,103,9S9
gain in dairy COWS in the United
States in the last 10 years, Minnesota
and Wisconsin absorbed a gain of
1,153,3S2 cows, or 81 per cent Of the
gain for the whole United States No
other section Of the country can match
the growth Of the dairy industry in
these and few adjoining states.
Minnesota's nearest rivals in butter
production are Wisconsin and Iowa.
Compared to Minnesota's total of
about 140,00O,0O0 pounds, Wisconsin
produces about 95OOO,OOO pounds and
Iowa about S5,000,000 pounds Both
New York and Wisconsin exceed Min
nesota in total volume of dairy pro-
ducts. With great city at their

their dairy products as milk. Wiscon-

pound premium above that made by
other creameries."
Mr.. Mcclure likewise had eloquent
testimony Of the results obtained thru
the cooperative creamery
During the last four years. the CO.
operative creamery paid on an aver.
age OF seven cents a pound more for
butter fat than the cream station of
the centralizers,' he said. "That
means that every year these farmers
nave saved enough through their
creamery to more than build and
equip their plants anew. 1t means q
saving of SIS COW, which mounts to
an enormous sum for the state as a
whole.
The cooperative creamery has
made the dairy industry profitable in
Minnesota. It has created an incen.
tive for the industry. More than that,
1t mas developed community spirit.
Business men and storekeepers, every
body in the dairy community, is back
OF the creamery operated by the farm
ers. Many towns are built and main
tanned largely by the. dairy Industry
To see the wealth accruing to the
farmers in the making business,
one needs but take trip through the
cooperative creameries. Expensive
buildings house plants with the most
modern equipment In many Mime
sofa towns, the cooperative creamery
IS the most pretentious building to be
seen. -, .. u

the apparent discrepancy being due, OF
course, to the fact that not pound

THOR good many years, Minnesota
has called itself the bread and
l. butter state.' With an extensive
grain industry, the state has produced
for a considerable period more butter
than other state in the Union.
Every year, Minnesota makes more
butter than all Of Canada. 1t con-
tributes approximately seventh of
the nations output Of creamery but
ter. Each year golden stream of
money flows into the pockets of Min
nesota farmers, who are engaged in
buttering very extensive portion of
the country's bread. In 1920 cream
cries Of the state turned out 139,OOO,-
600 pounds of butter, yielding a rev.
enue of approximately $SO,OOO,OOO,
most of which went into the pockets
OF the men who MIXED the COWS.
Butter making is almost tradition
al enterprise in Minnesota For years,
it has been highly developed art.
Minnesota has won so many prizes for
butter making that the winning of a
prize has become Il natter of course.
Out Of is national competitions be-
tween the states, 16 have gone to the
creameries of Minnesota.
But Minnesota soon must revise that
title Of the bread and butter state"
There will be more butter than bread
on it's map. Even now, the dairy COW
represents the biggest industry of the
state, and yearly she is extending her
conquest more and more into the
grain-farming sections and into the
cut-Over lands of the north The value
OF dairy products in Minnesota in
1920 was more than $2OO,0O0,0OO, ac-
cording to a recent compilation made
by the State Dairy and Food Commits
sion. That exceeds in value by a
wide margin the output of the iron
mines in this greatest of iron-produc-
ing states. 1t equals the value of all
the products of the great Minneapolis
flour mills, manufactured from wheat
gathered over most OF the Northwest
and Canada. 1t exceeds by $33 800, :
600 the combined value of the wheat,
oats, corn, barley and rye in Mime
sofa, according to the state dairy sta
tisticans
Truly the humble churn of the Min
nesota farm has grown into a ire
mendous industry.
In these days when farmers along
with men in a good many other lines
are worrying about reduced profits,
certainly here is subject for consid-

ueSOCa. Ine dairy section IS the rich
est part Of the state. In other Sec
lions that have depended chiefly on
grain, periods of depression are bound
to occur. But this great central por-
ton Of the state finds a golden stream
Of money coming in for it's cream the
year around, regardless Of financial
depression or crop failures. The COW
keeps on giving milk despite hard

Right now, farmers in sections that
have depended wholly on grain farm
ing are almost bankrupt. This is
shown by a study Of the bank de-
posits. Farmers actually can't Dor

tons, while the dairy farmers are as
prosperous as ever.
In another state not far from Min
nesota, where weather conditions
throughout the season were the same,
there were 304 mortgage delinquencies

A. j. Mcclure, dairy specialist of
the Minnesota College of Agriculture,
offered this bit Of testimony:
THE farmers in the grain-farming
sections are in a serious condition,
while the dairy sections do not show
hard times. In both town and coun-
try, In those sections where farmers
are engaged in the dairy industry, the
people are prosperous"
But to return to Mr.. Heen:
"The advantage of the dairy indus
try is shown in the increasing num-
Der OF men who are giving up grain
farming for the cow. You know, a
good many farmers have been disposed
. to scorn the COW because they didn't

Why is Minnesota the
greatest butter-producing
state? Beneath the sur
face Of these pretentious
figures, there must be
some reason, just as an
other and different set of
circumstances made Wis
