REPORT STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONER 441 



I sincerely hope that as early as 1923 the readjustment 

 period will have passed and times will be normal, so that the 

 Fortieth General Assembly may deal generously with this 

 most important matter.

DAIRY^ PRODUCTS 



Estimates of the income, received by the State, from 

 Dairy Products, during the past year place the figures at 

 $130,147,679.36, derived from the following sources: 



Creamery Butter $47,896,805.29 



Ice Cream 6,138,839.30 



Market Milk 24,869,492.83 



Cheese 81,113.89 



Cottage Cheese 260,000.00 



Farm Dairy Butter 18,528,750.00 



Condensed Milk 372,678.05 



Skim-milk & Buttermilk 12,000.000.00 



Fertilizer 20,000.000.00 



With the exception of creamery butter, you will find that 

 the foregoing figures show a decided decrease in values, as 

 compared with the figures given in my 1920 report. I account 

 for this by the declining of prices on all of our markets during 

 the past year, as well as by a decrease in the amount of some of 

 the products manufactured.
