The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1924-07-10
pounds Of milk more than was 70
quired for 1922.

The production of creamery .bu
ter increased S.5 per cent over Il
previous year. This increase ",
quite regular over the whole year a
though the last three months shov
ed some decrease as compared wit
1922. Twenty states increased the
production of creamery butter mi
lion pounds or more over the PR
vious year. These states we're loca
ed generally in the Mississippi Vale
but also included California, Utal
Colorado, Idaho, Virginia, Tennessee
and Massachusetts. An increase @
more than 20 million pounds wa
noted for Minnesota and Iowa, Will
California increased the output NOR
than 10 millions pounds.
Three of our principal dairy state
Wisconsin, New York and Ohio show
ed heavy decreases as compared witt
1922. OF the northeastern states
New York, Massachusetts and Con
necticut decreased their production
of butter, however, the weather ant
pasture conditions were not favor
able in that section during part O.
the year.
The total cheese production II
1923 exceeded that of 1922 by 6.7
per cent. The production for 1928
was 394,697,0O0 pounds and $685.
$4,000 for 1922. The greatest In
crease was in the state of Wisconsin
amounting to 35,280,O00 pounds
The total increase in the whole coun-
try was only 24,717,000 pounds
hence outside of Wisconsin there was
less cheese manufactured than in the
year 1922. Three states increased
cheese more than a million pounds.
There were 23 states which showed
increases and sixteen which showed
decreases. The principal states show
ing decreases we're New York and
Ohio.
Condensed and Evaporated Milk.
The prouction of condensed and
evaporated milk was greatly increas-
ed during 1928. The production for
1928 was 1,774,SS1, 900 pounds and
in 1922 it was 1,431, $4,000 the in
crease being "a per cent. New York
was the only state which produced
much less than for the previous year,
the decrease being nearly million
pounds. Ten states produced an in
crease of five million pounds or more
and six other states increased their
output more than a million pounds
over 1922.
All three of these major products,
butter, cheese and condensed and
evaporated milk, maintained an in
creased production for all the months
the same time kept the same rela-
ton to each other. At the latter end
If the year there was some slowing
Up in production but all three pro-
lucts continued to move along sim
lar lines.
The production of Swiss cheese for
1923 was 24,555,00 pounds as
gainst 19,983,000 pounds in 1922.
he importations for 1923 were 49,
82,479 pounds, and in 1922 were
1,980,83S pounds. AS seen this
Indicated a consumption of Swiss
heese in 1923 of 41,537,479 pounds
gainst 31,863,83S pounds in 1922.
he increase in consumption of this
roduct was divided practically So
0 between domestic and imported
hich reflects the Swiss cheese sit
alton in a very satisfactory light.
The production of casein was in
'eased from 6,927,00O pounds in
922 to 14,548,000 pounds in 1923.
his increase was made principally
lring the first half of the year and
decreased rapidly as the
ice fell about the middle of the
ar. The number of factories man
acturing casein was doubled during
'23.
Powdered skim milk output for
23 increased more than so per
Mt. The quantity produced was
PSI, 900 in 1923 and 4O,617,O00
1922.
The production of ice cream is also
portant as it increased 11.9 per
1T and now supplies each person
the country with 2.6 gallons a
ir.
The aggregate production of milk
Chilly exceeded the total quantity
lsumed during the year; however.
re was consumed per person guam
es of dairy products requiring 998
lnds of milk in the production
reof.
n a word, production and con-
nption continue to practically bal
e while the increase in population
aiken care of and the per capita
sumption of all dairy products
tinue to increase.
