POULTRY STATISTICS 



VALUE OF POULTRY AND POULTRY 

 PRODUCTS 



According to the returns of the census of 1910, the 

 value of the poultry on farms of the United States on 

 Apr. 15, 1910, was $154,663,220, the value of the poultry 

 produced on farms in 1909 was $202,506,272, and the value 

 of the eggs produced in the same year was $306,688,960, 

 a total value of $663,858,452 for poultry and poultry 

 products for the year. These figures do not represent the 

 value of all the poultry and poultry products of the 

 country, for the reason that the census covers only the 

 farms, no returns being made of the poultry and eggs 

 produced in cities, towns, and villages, and about 

 12% of the farms failed to make returns. It has 

 been estimated from this that the total value of the 

 poultry and poultry products of the United States for 

 the year 1909 was not far from $750,000,000. 



The total value of the poultry and poultry products 

 of the United States for the year ending June 30, 1912, 

 has been estimated by the United States Department of 

 Agriculture and the commission houses of the country 

 to be approximately $950,000,000.
