BIG BUTTER STATES

Minnesota not only makes more but
ter but also more high quality butter
than any other State, said Doctor G.
w. Larson, Chief of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry. United States De-
partment of Agriculture, in a recent
address before the annual meeting OF
the Minnesota Creamery Operators
and Managers Association at St. Paul,
MINI. In 1920 the State manufactured
the enormous total of 100 million
pounds, thereby leading all other states.
Yet in the six years from 1920 to 1925,
inclusive, according to Doctor Larson,
Minnesota doubled her output until
now it is over 245 million pounds, or
one-seventh of the creamery butter
made in the United States, the great
est butter-producing nation in the
world.
Five states--Minnesota. Wisconsin,
Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio-tranking
in the order named, now produce half
the creamery butter of this country.

dro-elec'ric power can be produced at
Priest Rapids as cheaply as at any
po'nt uron the American continent.

A CORREGIO SAID TO
EXIST AT OLD MISSION

SAN ANTONIO March tP).-Expert
who have examined three grimy oil
paintings in San Jose mission here
say that one of them, Infant Savious,"
probably is the work of Antonio
Allegri Correggio, an Italian painter
who died in 1534.N
Correggio is noted for the glow
and splendor of his color and for
the grace of his figure composition,
which is sometimes marred by in
adequate drawing.
The paintings, brought to this
country from Spain when the mission
was built nearly 200 years ago, are
mildewed and faded now Some of
them have started to fall to pieces
and have been cared for by the
loving hands of Mexican women who
attend the services which still are
held from time to time in the
dilapidated chapel.
