STATE LIVESTOCK
VALUES GROWING
Gross Increase Last Year
$19,35S,000, COOPERATIVE
Report Shows
OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT
Quantity and Price in All
Lines Except Swine Make
Notable Cans

Livestock on Minnesota farms
January 1, had a combined gross
farm value $19,358,00 greater
than a year ago, although the in
crease in numbers was only 24,-
900 head, according to a report
issued today by Sau1 H. Kirk,
federal statistician for the Mime
sofa Cooperative Reporting Ser
vice. Total value this year was
$277,7O7,0OO as compared with
$258, 8,349,000 a year ago.
The farm value of milk cows and
beef cattle in Minnesota on jan
uary 1 totaled S155,O73,000, COM
pared with $123,469,000 a year
ago, because of prevailing higher
prices for beef and dairy pro-
ducts. Farm value of horses,
mules, sheep and cattle were more
than a year ago but the swine val
ue dropped from $64,278,00O on
January 1, 1927 to $50,085,000 on
January 1, 1928.
Of the total for all cattle, the
value of milk cows and heifers two
years old or over kept for milk this
year was $114,6OO,O0O, compared
with $92,293,000 a year ago. The
farm value of horses and colts
was $64,264, 900 an increase of al
most $1,0O0,000 over last year.
Value of mules this year was ST.
100000, compared with $1,128,-
900 one year ago, while the value
of sheep increased from S6,109,000
a year ago to $7,075, 900.
Last year there were 2,656,000
head of cattle in Minnesota, of
which 1,528,O00 were cows and
heifers Two years old or more,
kept for milk, compared with e.
100000 cattle year ago, of
which 1,513,000 were milk cows
and heifers two years old or more.
The average farm value per
head of horses this year was $79,
compared with SIT a pear ago
mules, $50 per head compared with
S81 last year; swine, $3.50 a
head compared with $17.50 last
year; sheep and lambs, $10.40 a
head compared with 1910 last
year; milk cows and heifers kept
for milk, $5s.4O per head, COM
pared with $45.00 one year ago.
While the farm livestock inven-
tory values January 1 show an
increase of $19,358,000 over one
year ago, the Minnesota livestock,
sold at stockyards or direct to
packing plants, decreased $751;
100000 during 1927 as compared
with 1926. The decrease in value
was due entirely to lower price lev
ell for swine.
An exceptional rise during 1927
in the price Of beef, with an equal
increase in the price obtained by
producers for dairy products, was
the cause for the ''large advance"
in livestock valuation in Minneso-
ia, Mr.. Kirk said.
'"The loss in swine valuation,
caused by the present hog price de-
preston, was more Ehan offset by
the increases in other livestock
claSSifcations."

Survey Will Aid Minnesota Posts
to Win Citation

Last year Minnesota Legion
posts won more national citations
for distinguished service to their
communities, than those of any
other state. This year the nation
al commander will continue these
citations, and will put them in a
form suitable for framing. So
Department Activities Chairman.
A. F. Branton of Willmar, anx-
ious to see The North Star State
continue to hold its fine reputation
in Legion national affairs, is ask
ing each of the 500 Gopher Posts
to conduct a spring survey of what
they have thus far accomplished
for their home towns, and what
they may we'll do this year, or in
the future. So that they may not
overlook any avenue of service,
DIR. Branton is furnishing each
post with a list of the varied
achievements of other posts all
over the world. Better yet, he
wants Minnesota posts TO develop
this year news ways of doing good,
not heretofore featured. In the
meantime, every post is urged to
inform Legion National Hq, In
dianapolis, of it's achievements and
plans. DIR. Branton would like
to know of them too. ..nn

There's one woman in Kansas
City who knows human nature. She
was riding on a street car with
friend. They were discussing their
mutual acquaintances, and in such
a tone of voice that the passengers
on the car were beginning to feel
that they, too, knew them.
Said the one with the red hat and
the green coat: I'D like to know
what Martha's sore about?"
"How d'yOu know she's soreT
asked the one who wore the plaid
stockings.
"Well, if she ain't sore, why'd she

every last thing she's borrowed In

Posts Will Help Register Graves
of ALI Comrades

An important 1928 Legion ac-
tivity in Minnesota is the registra-
tion of the graves of all veterans.
1t was the Mankato Legion state
convention which suggested this
work to the state Legislature, which
directed that it be done through
the State Adjutanr Generals Of
flee. Minnesota's 500 Legion posts
aided by their 400 Legion Auxil-
iary units, representing member
ship of forty thousand, are check
ing data on the final resting places
of veterans of all wars. AS fast
as the information is obtained it is
forwarded to Adjutant General
Walsh at the State Capitol, where
it will be filed so as to be readily
available.
