The table on the opposite page (Table XXI) shows the amount of cheese pro- duced by the fi^'e states with the largest number of factories. This table indi- cates that New York led in the production of cheese until some time between 1899 and 1909. This is proba- bly because, New York having so many cities, the demand for market milk is so large that it is sold as such instead.
