Colorado Experiment Station 
The Denver Union Stock Yards furnished a statement of the 
number and value and origin of all fat animals shipped into Colorado 
in 1909. 
The quantity of meat and meat products shipped into Colorado 
in 1909 was secured from the railroads and the values were fur¬ 
nished by the experts from the Colorado Packing Company. 
The estimates on the value of butter and cheese was made after 
securing figures from all the large handlers of these products. 
The estimates on eggs were made from the combined estimates 
of eight of the largest handlers of these products in the State, to¬ 
gether with information obtained during the past year by Professor 
Vaplon, the Poultryman of the Agricultural College, and myself in 
most of the towns in Colorado. The estimate on poultry was ob¬ 
tained in the same way, and in addition, information was obtained 
in regard to the amount being sent out of Colorado through the 
banks for poultry. 
The -estimate on condensed milk was secured from the Con¬ 
densed Milk Factory at Fort Lupton, and from the jobbers of this 
product at Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. 
The estimate on Malted Milk was secured from wholesale and 
retail druggists. 
The information in regard to grain and grain products was ob¬ 
tained from railroad records, from millers, from wholesale dealers in 
flour and feed and from bakeries. 
Seedsmen in Denver and Pueblo and records from railroads 
furnish the information in regard to seeds. 
Data in regard to fresh and dried fruits and vegetables were 
secured from jobbers and brokers and the records of the railroads. 
Mr. Geo. Knifton, Denver, was particularly helpful in securing this 
information. The estimates on canned goods, pickles and condi¬ 
ments are based on information furnished by the largest jobbers in 
these products in the State, and by canning and pickle lactories. 
The estimates on hay were based on records of shipments fur¬ 
nished by the railroads and information given by large handlers of 
this product. The information in regard to broom corn was secured 
from the chief handlers of this product in Denver and Peublo. 
We shall be very glad to receive corrections and additions to 
these estimates from any reliable source.
