Indiana Milk Production
| For the last seven years an accurate
record has been kept of the production
of dairy products in Indiana All

etc, buying and paying for milk and
cream on the butterfat basis are Ii
censed. Each year when renewing
their licenses they report to the cream
cry license division of the dairy de-
partment Of Purdue concerning the
amount of butter, milk or other dairy
products sold during the past calendar
year.
Figures for 1921 show a marked in
crease in the production of all products
with the exception of ice cream and
cheese. The amount of creamery but
ter produced in Indiana during the past
seven years has steadily increased to
rs per cent since 1914 During 1921,
46,S33,921 pounds of creamery butter
were manufactured which is an in
crease of 4,255,741 pounds or 90 per
cent over the amount manufactured
in 1920. In 1921 licensed milk plants
showed an increase in the amount of
milk handled of 1851, 144 pounds Con
densed milk showed an increase of
10,S34,304 pounds for 1921. In addi-
ton to this, approximately 1885,, $40
pounds of butterfat were shipped TO
creameries and milk plants outside
the state. The butterfat shipped into
: the state, to some extent, offsets the
. amount shipped out, but only partly So
, as only few large creameries are 10
Gated near the states border.
All creameries, condenseries. cheese
factories and a part of the total mum.
, Der of milk plants and ice cream factor
les are licensed. BY using statistics
: from these plants and estimating the
> amount of dairy products manufactur
9 ed and sold in plants not licensed a
= very close estimate of the states total
9 production has been obtained This is
