Reaches High Mark. Nobraska dairy products totaled $-10,000,000 this year Instead ot $9,000,000, as reported by tho Stato Agricultural board, according to cm phattc statements by Food Commis sioner llarmnn. Here Is tho way tho latter figures It out: Each person In tho stato averaged twonty-llvo pounda of butter used por year and that but ter averuged 25 cents a pound a year- round price. That would mako a to tal of ?S,000,000. Then added to this, according to Mr. Harman, was a $15, 000,000 total or other butter shipped out of the state, buttor that was over and above that noeded hero. And then In addition to that was $2,000,000 of country butter sent to big stntlonu lor work-over and from there sent out side the state for storago and ulti mate usage. On top of nil this, says Mr. llarmnn, thoro Is a $15,000,000 to tal of cream and milk that Is used In the homes of tho stato day by day and which goes into lco cream and so forth. Figures In Mr. Hnrnmn's of llco show that tho creameries of tho stato havo a total yearly production of $15,000,000 a year and what they work with constitutes about 40 per cent of tho total production of tho stnto. His flguros, ho therefore bo lloves, aro moro nearly right than tho agricultural board's, and yet ho con siders them conservative. Uncovers Ancient Records.
