TILLAMOOK, OREGON, FEBRUARY 20, 1919.
TILLAMOOK COUNTY’S
FAMOUS CHEESE !
o
Manufactured 5,036,900 Pounds.
The Total Receipts for Cheese, Etc.,
Amount to $1,352,694.
45,100,156 Pounds of Milk Produced in Tilla­
mook County in 1918.
(By Fred C. Baker)
Notwithstanding that the summer
of 1918 was unusually dry In all
parts of Oregon, and In Tillamook
County as well, the result of last
year’s dairy industry in this county
is considered exceedingly satisfactory
taking everything into considera­
tion. The records show that it is not
only a banner year for high prices,
but there is a slight increase in the
amount of milk produced and in the
cheese manufactured. The increase
in the amount of money received was
$163,849 over the previous year;
the increase in milk was 198,853
pounds and the Increase in the
amount of cheese manufactured was
62,572 pounds. The average price for
cheese was 26.36c„ the txwo previous
years being 23.51c. and 17.76c.. For
100 pounds of milk the average price
wes $2.66, It being $2.44 the pre­
vious year. The average price of but­
ter fat last year was 64.4c. per
pound, the previous year being 60c.
When considering the high price
of other dairy and agricultural pro­
ducts the price of Tillamook cheese
did not advance as much of some of
them, especially wheat, which doubl­
ed in price in recent years.
The Tillamook
Creamery again
obtained the honer of being the fac­
tory with the
largest amount of
milk received and cheese manufac­
tured. Maple Leaf creamery is a
close second, and the Holstein cream­
ery taking
third place. Fairview
Dairy Association, which used to be
one of the tifree cheese factories at
the top of the list, dropped to fifth
place.
As a number of the larger cheese
factories have installed plants to
save the surplus cream that goes
into the whey tanks, this has netted
$24,479.01, the factories receiving
$19,741.39 for whey cream and $4,-
737.62 for whey buter. The yield Is
slightly below the previous year. It
was 11.16 in 1918 and 11.23 in 1917.
The high price of hay last year was
a serious problem, which set the
dairymen thipking, as it took consid­
erable money to buy feed where the
dairymen are pasturing too many
cows. The dairymen who played safe
are those who followed the example
of the early dairymen of this county
and who raised all their own feed.
These are the dairymen who made
the most money last year and who
increased their bank accounts, as
they did not have to buy hay at the
high price that prevails today. The
high price of feed however did one
good thing. A good many poor milk
producing cows were disposed of and
helped out the moat market.
The records for the past ten years
show that the cheese production of
TUlamook county was doubled in
that length of time, every year be­
ing an increase and never a de­
crease.
Although the production of cheese
more than doubled Itself in ten years
there is an increase of nearly a mil­
lion dollars in the value of cheese
sold from the year 1909 to 1919.
The cheese factories south of Three
Rivers produced one fourth of the
milk in the county and their receipts
amounted to $305,000 last year.
The report of the cheese Inspector,
F. W. Christensen, shows that nearly
all the cheese manufactured In Till­
amook county was inspected by him,
and that cheese making in this
county has not reached the perfec­
tion stage. When taken into consid­
eration that 190,311 triplets, 240
twins, 15,147 Young Americas and
2 2,753 long horns were inspected
last year, as well as the thorough
and rigid inspection that cheese is
subjected to before it obtains the
Inspectors’ stamp of first grade,
there are quite a number of cheese
that does not reach the high stand­
ard. There were 7,045 triplets, 155
Young Americas and 646 long horns
that did not come up to the stand­
ard and were sold as seconds.. As
this can be remedied, the Inspector
attributes 75 per cent of this second
grade cheese to off flavor, caused by
whey flavor. There would be only a
small proportion of seconds if more
care had been taken by the dairy­
men. This goes to prove that first
class cheese cannot be made with
milk with off flavor,, and as one
careless dairyman can spoil a whole
batch of cheese, it behooves the
other dairymen and the cheese mak­
ers to keep a close watch on the
dairymen who take milk to the fac­
tories with off flavor. Mr. Christen­
sen offers some suggestions that
should be followed to prevent this in
the future.
t
Carl Haberlach was the secretary­
salesman, for 24 co-operative cheese
factories, and it is the most prosper­
ous and successful year ir$ the his­
tory of the cheese industry of Tilla­
mook county. He handled $1,328„218
of the dairymen’s money and con­
ducted their business in a most
satisfactory manner. He works in
co-operation with the directors of
the different cheese associations, and
they confer together in regard to
what the price of cheese is to be sold
for. The Tillamook County Creamery
Association is made up of one mem­
ber of each cheese association, and it
is this association that employs the
secretary-salesman and cheese in­
spector and grader. This association
haB been largely instrumental in
placing a first class, high grade
cheese on the market, manufactured
under strictly sanitary conditions,
with flattering results, for no mat­
ter where Tillamook cheese is put in
competition with cheese made in the
East or the cheese producing state of
Wisconsin,
it captures the first
prizes, which is the best proof that
the famous Tillamook cheese is far
ahead of all other cheese made else­
where. A large am'oant of the Tilla­
mook cheese is sold in California.
-------o-------
We have failed to receive the an­
nual report of the Upper Nestucca
Creamery, consequently there is one
cheese factory’s report missing. In
1917 this factory produced 206,000
poundg of milk and 23,316 pounds of
cheese, valued at $4,900.35. Probab­
ly the same amount of milk was tak­
en to the factory last year. This
would increase
the totals that
amount.

This is an increase of 15,505 Trip­

and 9,237 Horns, making a net gain

About 75 per cent of these seconds

on the part of some of the makers,
together with poor help, has made it
hard to keep both finish and quality
as it should be and quite a few
cheese have been shipped as seconds
on account of poor finish, such as
oversize, crooked, and open rind
from not being pressed properly.
A lot of this second grade cheese
can be eliminated by a general policy
oi oolling the whey. It has proven a
great benefit where practiced, in­
creasing the feed value of the whey
and makes it easier to keep the cans
clean. To successfully do this the
tanks should have tight covers.
Respectfully submitted,
F. W. Christensen,
Cheese Inspector.
