ADULTERATED AND RENOVATED BUTTER. 



LIST OF RENOVATED BUTTER FACTORIES. 



The foregoing list comprises all the process or renovated butter 

 factories in this state which had been licensed up to November 1st 

 under the new United States law. Of these, nine were in operation during 

 the year ending May 1, 1902. A considerable number of small plants 

 which were in operation before the law went into effect are now closed, 

 so far as renovated butter is concerned; and several of the plants that 

 were obstensibly operated as creameries have been obliged to go out of 

 the creamery business. Statistics furnished by the nine plants in opera- 

 tion last year, and also in operation at present, show the following 

 totals : 



Pounds of renovated butter made 4,530,388 



Sold for consumption in Iowa 991,333 



Shipped outside the state 3,539,055 



Pounds of stock purchased in Iowa 1,469,281 



Pounds of stock purchased elsewhere 3,061,107
