TICS OF LIVE STOCK AND
FARM PRODUCTS.
Washington, Doc. 26.—Statistics
for farm products for Oklahoma are
. presented in u bulletin soon to be
issued by Director Durand of the
Bureau of Census, department of
commerce and labor. It was pre-
' pared under the supervision of John
l<ee Coulter, expert special ugent
for agriculture.
The returns for live stock products
obtained at the census of 1910, like
those for crops, relate to ihe acti-
vities of the calendar year of 1909.
The number of farms in Oklahoma
reporting dairy cows on April li>,
1910, was 153,693, but only 118,116
reported dairy products in 1909. That
there should be this difference is not
surprising. Doubtless some farmers
who had dairy cows in 1910 had
none In 1909, while other farmers
neglected to give information for
ihe preceding year or were unable
10 do so perhaps because tli« farm
was then in other hands Dairy
products in general are somewhat
less accurately reported than tU"
principal crops. This is particular
ly the case as regards tliu quantity
of milk produced. The lumber o!
farms which made any report of
inilk during J909 was 111,535 (some -
what less than the total number re-

porting dairy products), and the
number of dairy cows on such farms
on April 15, IMO, was 403,000.
The amount of milk reported was
103,578,000 gallons, assuming that
there were tho same number of
cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would
represent average of 253 gallons
per cow.
Wool and Poultry.
The total number of sheep of
shearing age in Oklahoma on April
15, 1910, was 48,896, representing
u decrease of 25.1 per cent as com-
pared with the number on June I,,
1900 (61,183). The approximate pro-
duction of wool during 1909 was
46,000 fleeces, weighing 281,750
pounds and valued at 165,187. Of
these totals, about one-fourth rep-
resents estimates. The number of
Ileeces produced in 1909 was 27.6
per cent less than In 1899 The
average weight compared with 5 1
pounds in IS9* and the average value
per pound was 20 cents, as compar-
ed with 14 cents In 1899.
The total number of fowls on
Oklahoma farms on Apri' 1.". 1910,
was 8,501,00.). Of the 148,649 farms
reporting fowls, 42,517 did not r<
port any eggs produced In 1909 and
42,738 (lit* not report any poultry
raised In 1909. The production of
eggs actuaJy reported for the year
1909 was "18,522,000 dozens- valued at
<6,318,000.
Value of Live Stock.
The total value i of domestic ani-
mals sold during l!)kt9 was $64,624,000
and that of animals slaughtered oil
farms $6,676,000, making an aggre-
gate of $61,100,000. This total, how-
ever, Involves considerable duplica-
tion resulting from the resale or
slaughter of animals which had been
purchased by (he farmers during the
same year.
the value of the cattle (including
calves) sold during 1909 represented
something less Ulan one-half of the
total value of animals sold, and the
value of swine sold represented about
one-third of the total.
The census of 1900 called for the
receipts from the sale of all domes-

The total Kuantlty of orchard
fruits produced in 1909 was 1,137,000
bushels valued at $943,000 Apples
contributed nearly two-thirds of this
quantity, poaches and nectarines
most of the remainder. The produc-
tion of grapes in 1909 amounted to
3,763,000 pounds, valued at $122,000.
and the production of nuts to 1,

porting and the value of thorn;
slaughtered during tho year 189;>,
which amounted, respectively, to
4.16,963,000 and $4,483,000. The item
of sales is not closely comparable
with that for 1909, when tho inquiry
covered all Bales, whether of ani-
mals raiwed on the farms reporting
or elsewhere. It Is believed how-
ever, that in many cases tho returns
lor 1899 also included reecipts fro*
gales of animals not actually raised
on the farm reporting.
Tefal V ii I lie of Crops.
The total value of crops in Okla-
homa in 1909 was $133,454,000. Of
this amount 97..S per cent was con-
tributed by crops for which the acre-
age as well as the value was re-
ported. tho remainder consisting of
the value of by-products (straw,
garden and grass seeds, etc.) derived
irom the same land as other crops
reported, or of orchard fruits, nuts,
forest products and the like. The
combined acreage of crops for which
aoreage was reported was 11,921,670,
representing 6H 9 per cent of tho
total improved land in farms (17.-
551,337 acres). Most of the remain-
ing improved land doubtless Consist-
ed of improved pasture, land lying
fallon, house and farm yards and
land occupied by orchards and vine-
yards, tho acreage for which was
not reported.
In 1909 the total acreage of pota-
toes and other vegetables was 88,362
and their value $4,210,844. Exclud-
ing potatoes and sweet potatoes and
yams, tho acreage of vegetables was
51,011, and their value $2,610,000
both acreage and value being deciti
edly greater than in 1899,
