INDIANA THIRD CHEESE STATE IN THE NATION State Uses Milk From 58,000 Cows In Cheese Production Lafayette, Ind.. Jan. 31. — The rapid development of Indiana cheese industry in the last few years is not generally recognized except by those that are closely associated with Indiana agricul ture. The amount of cheese that is being made in the state has In creased very rapidly in the last ten years. There are only two other states that are making annually more cheese than Indiana These two states arc Wisconsin and New York. It Is estimated that, of the total ’ milk production In the United States, approximately 5.1 per cent of Tills milk is made into cheese. In Wisconsin, our largest cheese state, it is estimated that 43 per cent of the milk produced in that state goes into cheese. hi Indiana the portion of milk used in the manufacture of cheese has varied in the last three years from an estimate of five to eight per cent of the total milk produced in the state. The only other dairy products; exceeding cheese in the amount, of milk used is the amount used in j the manufacture of butter, and the , milk used as milk or consumed as milk The type of cheese made in the* state is practically all American whole milk cheese. There is made in many milk plants and other dairy plants a large amount of a soft type of cheese such as cottage, pot, and bakers cheese, but this styTs of cheese is not included in . the figures given in this-discussion. The toai production of approximately 5,000 milk cows is used in the manufacture of this cheese in Indiana or approximately the total milk production of eight per cent of the milk cows in the state. | The Indiana cheese Industry has

been rapidly increasing since 1023. In this year Indiana manufactured 373,943 pounds. In 1953 the pounds of cheese made In Indiana plants amounted to 15,265,000 pounds, and in 1934 we were maKin* over z 3. > 000,000 pounds annual,;. The largest amount of cheese is made in the months of May, June, and July, and the monthly make of cheese in Indiana corresponds very closely witn the creamery butter made in the state. Indiana ; in 1934 made 6.6 per cent of tne 'creamery butter manufactured, and six per cent of the cneese manufactured in January. In May 10 per cent of the creamery butter was manufactured, and 11.1 per cent of the cheese was made. 1 lie United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics reports * inat cheese consumption in the ■ United States for 1934 was the largest on record. The Bureau rec-| ord covers a period of 26 years. ‘ The cheese consumption in 1934 ’ was 4.84 pounds per capita in the ' , United States. Even though the amount of cheese consumed per capita is the greatest on record for the United States, we will have to sonsume considerable more cheese per capita to equal some of the European countries. Germany per capita consumption is 10.6 pounds and Switzerland 16.1 pounds. The importations of cheese have declined since 1927, It is estimated that oetween 145,000 and 175,000 farmers in Indiana are marketing milk to Indiana i cheese factories. o • county AGENT’S * COLUMN '• # February on the Farm 1 Nip off tusks and ear mark new ly born pigs.

INDIANA HERDS TEST HIGHEST Sol Mosser Herd Among Jerseys In National Tests Paul W. Canary's herd of purebred Jersey cows at Franklin, made tne highest Jersey herd production test record for average butterfat yield completed in Indiana In the first eleven months of 1935 by aver aging 433.85 lbs. butterfat. 7,755 lbs. milk per cow in a year's test I recently ended There were nine > cows in the'herd during the test. I all except two young producers. . The record was made through the i I Herd Improvement Registry of the * American Jersey Cattle Club, the • national organization of owners of i purebred Jersey cattle. Among the other Aidiana owners of purebred Jerseys who are now testing their entire herds are. Sol Mosser. Geneva; S. A. White & Sons. Huntington, and Joe P. Ice A Son. Mt. Summit. The Jersey herd at the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, West Lafayette, is also on test. This herd is headed by Pride's Design Oxford, a bull which has been designated a superior sire by the American Jersey Cattle Club. Ouly Jersey sire whose daughters meet certain high requirements for production and con fermation receive this title. Pride's Design Oxford qualified . for the honor in 1935. His first ten I daughters, all tested as 2-year-olds, averaged 696.48 lbs butterfat on a mature equivalent, 365-day basis, j He is now about 7 years of age and is one of the youngest bulls of the Jersey breed to become a superior sire. So far five of his 'daughters have qualified for tne| American Jersey Cattle club silver medal which he also won early in 1935 for their record as butterfat producers. i Among the other Jersey cows which qualified for medal awards in Indiana in 1935 was young cow | owned by Mrs. Alice Eileene I Wright. Sheridan. This cow, Vol'unteer Xenia Paxie, won the. silver , medal with the high yield of 60z.22 I lbs. butterfat, 12,493 lbs., or ap--1 proximately 6,vt)o quarts, of milk in a 365-day official test started when she vis only two years and 11 months of age. At Graham Farms, Washington, one of the aged cows, Tiddledywinks You'll Do Dward qualified for the gold medal in 1935 with the • creditable yield of 660.09 lbs. but-: terfat, 12,178 lbs. milk in a 305-dayl lest. EARLY ORDERING: OF SEED URGED i Purdue Urges Early Ordering Os Certified Seed Potatoes 1 Adams County farmers who <le- | sire good yields next year should | put in their order for certified seed potatoes immediately, according to 1 the Purdue university experimental station. The supply is usually becoming depleted at this time of year. The certified variety can be recognized by the tags furnished by the state horticulturist in the state in which it is grown Care should be taken In buying seed potatoes that th" tags are really certified iby the state department and not by the grower. In ordinary practice certified potatoes will pay the pnrciiaeer for the extra investaient. The mother plants have been inspected in the fields for freedom from disease ns well as quality. Tlie majority of the certified seed potatoes come from northern states. Laot year there were only two growers who were successful in having their crops certified. The names arid addresses of the Indiana growers at well as growers in other states may be obtained through the county agent or through Hie Purdue experimental station Indiana is now growing less potatoes than it i-ois-umes. This would Indicate a profitable home market for the crop. The Indiana variety of good quality and a good cooking potato. The hot summers in this state are I eoindtiefve to disease. In spite of 1 this handicap growers are obtaining from 400 bushels to the acre in the northern part of LOO to 200 bush els in the southern part of the state. The Purdue exjpereiauenta.l station

is of the opinion that if more potato men would become interested in the a ientific breeding of the crop for certification that it is probable that a strain would ba produced which would be less susceptible to Indiana weather. The profits from the sale of certified need potatoes would amply repay the grower for hie additional time and care. NO PERMANENT HURT FORESEEN Frozen Combs, Wattles On Chickens Not Permanent Injury — | Adams county farmers who have i reported that their chickens have ; bad their combs and wattles frozen ; need have little fear of a serious ; permanent injury to their flocks. Probably the only result will be I a lessening of the egg production cud of the fertility of the eggs. This condition, which will last possibly two weeks, should react favorably to ordinary care. If the birds fail to eat properly , during the time of recovery the cause may be attributed to soreness of the tombs and wattles. Rather than buiup their heads against the usual feeding hoppens the birds may refuse to eat. This can be remedied by. lacing the feed in open contain- I ers, or removing the reels from the ths hoppers. Too much emphasis should'not be , ’ placed i” artificially heated hen houses, according to experiments carried out at Purdue university during the last eight years. Results of the expertments have indicated that there is no measurable difference between the inexpensive open front types of houses and the costly specially constructed heated and ventilated houses | Poultrymen should not expect • fertile eggs from flocks in which th ' roc-iters have had theler combs and wattles frozen for two or three ; weeks. Observing this rule will eave -considerable time and expense to poultrymen | Culling of farm flocks now should be done only to re.nove sick and unhealthy birds. Daring February. March. April and May practically every hen in the flock can be «x---pe-cted to lay. Culling can be done to i tha best advantage in June and July when unprofitable hems cease their egg production and become liabilities to their owners | ROY S.
