1.  create a loop using foreach after defining the 50 variables in a local such as -local vars "x1 x2 ... x50"

2.  just collapse the data and create state-level means and then summarize

	collapse (mean) x1 x2 ... x50, by(state)

    is the syntax I believe.

Subject: st: multiple means by state

I've got county level data on many variables, also coded by state.  I'd
like Stata to report the mean of each US state on nine of those variables
using one command... that is, without typing out 50 separate commands for
each separate variable.  Please help!
