INTRODUCTION. 

The census of Porto Rico in 1910 was the second 

emuneration under the auspices of the United States 

Government. The first enumeration was made in 

accordance with the provisions of an executive order 

de~ted September 8, 1899, and was taken as of Novembe1r 10, 1899, under the direction of the War Department. By the act providing for the Thirteenth Decennin1 Census of the United States, taken as of April 15, 

19110, Porto Rico was included in the area of enumeration and, under the discretionary autho~ity vested 

in the Director of the Census, was made a single census 

district, a supervisor of the census being appointed to 

have immediate charge of the. work. 'rl1e schedules 

and instructions were in Spanish and every precaution 

was taken to make the census as nearly complete and 

aecurate as possible. 

'l'he tables interspersed thrOlighout the text present 

statistics for Porto Rico as a whole relating to numbm· of inhabitants, increase of population, proportions 

mban and rural, color or race, nativity, parentage, sex, 

age, lnarital condition, place of birth, year of immigration of the foreign born, males of voting and militia ages, citizenship, school attendance, illiteracy, ina-' 

bility to speak English, and number of dwellings and 

families. All topics covered by the Thirteenth Census are included except occupations and ownership of 

homes. ·In the general table (Table 38) detail relating 

to the composition and characteristics of population is 

given by municipalities. Similar data in somewhat less 

detail are given in Table 39 for urban communities of 

5,000 inhabitants or more, and in Table 40 for sm11ller 

urban places of• 2,500 to 5,000 inhabitants. 

So far as comparable data are available for 1899 they 

are generally introduced in the 1910 tabulations for 

characteristics of population, as well as for number 

oJl inhabitants. It may be noted, however, that the 

IlrnTORlCAL NOTE.-The name Porto Rico comes from the Spanish Puerto Rico, 

m1mning "Rlch Port" or "The Gateway of Wealth." Early in the sixteenth century Ponce de Leon founded a cjty on the Island which he named San Juan Bautista de Pnerto Rico, whence ls dertved the present name of tho island. 

'l'he island was discovered by Columbus jn the lat.ter part of 1493, and early In 

the next century the native inhabitants were conquered by the Spanish under 

Ponce de J,eon. The first white settlement was made at Caparra about 1508. The 

sei>t or government was located at this place until Its destructlon in 15201 when the 

capital Wll.'l established at San Juan, where it has since remained. 

Jn lli97, at a time when England and Spain were at war, S~n Juan was captured 

by Sir George Cnmberland, but after some weeks was evacuated. Except for 

this brief period of English occupation, Porto Rico, in splte of various attempts at 

capture on the part of the Engllsh In the eighteenth century and various revolts 

on the part ol the inhabitants in the nineteenth, remained a Spanish possession until 

It passed into the hands or the United States. In 1869 it was for the first time 

1899 report does not classify the native white population by parentage, and does not distinguish mulattoes 

and blacks under "colored." Wherever this classification is made, data for 1910 only can be given. 

'rhe age classification, also, in the tabulation of data 

relating to certain topics for 1899 differs from that 

for 1910. In such cases, where the data warranted it, 

as in the tabulation for school attendance, the 1910 

data have been retabulated according to the 1899 age 

classification. 

On account of the wide differences in characteristics 

among different classes of the population, the statistics 

on each subject are shown according to color or rnce, 

and for the whites according to nativity and parentage. 

Generally in the tabulations for characteristics of population classification according to nativity and parent- · 

age is scarcely necessary for the colored population, 

which embraces a comparatively small number of persons of foreign parentage. (See Table 9 for detail relating to parentage of the native and of the foreignborn mulatto and black population.) 

The white population is divided into four groups: 

(1) Native, native parentage-that is, having both 

parents born in Porto Rico or in other territory of the 

United States; (2) native, foreign parentage-having 

both parents bom abroad; (3) native, mixed parentage-having one parent native 11nd the other foreign 

born; (4) foreign born. As the second and third 

classes do not cliff er greatly in characteristics, they are 

combined in some of the tables; in a few cases all 

three native white classes are combined. 

Since marked differences often exist between urban 

and rural communities, with respect to the composition and characteristics of the population, the two 

classes are distinguished in connection with .several 

of the subjects. 

given representation in tho Spanish Cortes by delegates elected by popula1· vote 

under the same suffrage as in Spain. The Governor General was made the resident 

representative of the Crown and in practice all administrative power was in his hands. 

The Island of Porto Rlco was formally surrendered to tho United States ln October, 

1898, at San Juan, aud by the Treaty of Paris, signed December 10 of the same year, 

was ceded by Spain to the United States, together with Vleques, Culebra, and other 

small adjacent Islands. At the time of its acqulsitlon by the UnHed St.ates, Porto 

Rlco, lnolnding the adjacent Islands referred to, was placed under military rule 

and so continued until a civil government was organized by aot of Congress approved 

Aprll 12, 1900. This act, which went Into effect May I, 1900, provided for a governor 

and nn Executive Council, to be atipointed by the President of the United States, 

and a House of Delegates and a Resident Commissioner to tile United States, to 

be elected by the people. The Executive Council and the House of Delegates constitute the two branches of the legislative body, all acts of which must be approved 

by the governor.

6 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION. 

Total population.-The population of Porto Rico in 

1910 was 1,118,012. Compared with a population of 

953 ,243 in 1899, this represents an nrnrease, during foe· 

11 years of 164,769, or 17.3 per cent. The population of Porto Rico, as given by censuses taken at 

varying intervals beginning with 1765, was as follows: 

1910, 1,118,012; 1899, 953,243; 1887, 798,5.65; 1877:, 

731,648; 1860, 583,308; 1846, 44:7,914; 1832, 330,051; 

1815, 220,892; 1800, 155,426; 1775, 70,250; 1765, 

44)883. 

Prinoipa.l places.-Porto Rico has 2 cities, 64 towns, 

and 12 villages. San Juan aity, the largest place, had 

a population in 1910 of 48,716, and Ponce, the next 

largest, a population of 35)005. .Mayaguez and 

Caguas, with 16,563 and 10,354 inhabitants, respectively, were the only other phtces in the island having 

over io,cioo inhabitants. There were also 7 places 

having from 5,000 to 10,0001 19 having from 2,500 to 

51000, and 48 having less than 2,500 inhabitants. 

Table 5 shows the population in 1910 of the cities, 

towns, and villages of Porto Rico, with comparative 

:figures for 1899. Table 1 shows the population of 

the 2 cities and 9 towns having in 1910 over 5,000 

inhabitants, as reported at the censuses of 1910 and 

1899, together with the absolute and relative increase 

during the 11-ye~r period.

Of the places included in this table, Aguadilla is 

the only one showing a decrease in population since 

1899. Bayamon shows the highest rate of increase, 

namely, 137.7 per cent, and Yauco the lowest, 7.9 per 

cent. Caguas, Fajardo, Guayama, and San Juan each 

shows an increase of over 50 per cent. 

Municipal districts.-Porto Rico is divided, for the 

purpose of local government, into 68 districts, called 

municipalities. These municipalities consist generally 

of a central settlement with outlying rural districts, 

though in the case of the municipality of San Juan 

there are no rural districts. Each municipality has a 

government which embraces the central settlement 

and the outlying districts. The division between the 

towns or villages and the remainder of the munici-

. pality is a physical and not a political distinction. 

The 68 municipalities of Porto Rico in ,1910 (see 

Table 38, p. 32) ranged in population from 1,315 in 

Culebra to 63,444 :in Ponce. Sixty-three municipalities had increased m. population since 1899, while 5 

municipalities showed a decrease. The rates of increase 

for the municipalities which showed an :increase ranged 

from 1.2 per cent :in Barros to 99 per cent in Salinas, 

; and the· absolute :increases ranged from 181 in Hatillo 

to 161668 in San Juan. The rates of decrease for the 

municipalities which showed decreases ranged from 

1.1 per cent in Penuelas to 13.9 per cent :in. Maricao, 1 and the absolute decreases ranged from 138 :in Penuelas 1 to 2,806 in. Utuado. The aggregate :increase of popu-

• lation from 1899 to 1910 in the 63 municipalities that 

showed an increase was 172,630; the aggregate decrease 

of population in the 5 municipalities that showed a 

decrease was 7,861. The difference, 164,769, is, of 

course, the total increase of population in Porto Rico. 

The maps on page 4 show the increase or decrease 

in the total and the rural population of each municipality of Poo'to Rico since 1899. In the municipalities 

shown :in white the population decreased; for the other 

municipalities the diffe~rent rates of increase are indicated by differences :in shad:ing. 

Density of population.-The gross area of Porto 

Rico, land and water, including the adjacent and dependent islands, is 3,435 square miles. The average 

number of persons to the square mile in 1910 was 325.5 

and in 1899, 277.5. The population per square mile in 

Porto Rico in 1910 was more than ten times as great 

as in the United States proper, that is, exclusive of all 

outlying possessions, and more than three times as 

great as.in New England. 

Minor civil divisions.-The 68 municipalities into 

which Porto Rico is divided are themselves divided 

into barrios or wards, which are co.mmonly the units 

of area classified as urban or rural. The urbo.n ward 

or wards constitute, as a rule, the city or toWn from 

which the municipali.ty takes its name. Such cities 

and towns represent generally the populn.tfou dwe11-

ing· within the closely settled area but have no form 

of government distinct from that of the municipality 

of which they are the center. In one municipality, 

San Juan, all the wards are urban, the city of San Juan 

being in fact coextensive with the municipality. In 

most of the smaller places there is a single barrio, 

usually designated as "Pueblo," which constitutes 

the town settlement. In other municipal;ities the 

town is composed of two or more wards of urban 

character. In a few cases-Camuy, Fajardo1 Lajas, 

Las Marias, Mayaguez, Ponce1 and Rincon-the compactly settled area does not comprise the entire area 

of the barrio or barrios which contain the town. In 

these cases the enumerators were given careful instructions to separate what might be deemed the rural 

districts from the town proper. 
POPULATION. 7 

As a rule, there is only one compactly settled area in 

e:a;ch municipality. In a few :municipalities, however, 

there are, besides the principrul settlement which gives· 

the name to the municipality, other detached settlements located in other parts of the municipality, which 

are here called villages to distinguish them from the 

town. Such villages are frequently coextensive with 

the barrios in which they are located, but in several 

cases (Barceloneta, Culebra, · Guanica, Hormigueros, 

Jayuya, and Palo Seco) the village settlement is less 

extensive than the barrio, and in these cases only the 

compactly settled area is reported as a village. 

Besides the cities of San Juan anci. Ponce al'ready 

mentioned, there are 64 towns and 12 villages in the 

island of Porto Rico. In addition to the abovementioned divisions 'there is one military reserve and 

one naval reserve which are included in the municipality of San Juan. Two islands, Culebra and Vieques, 

are returned as municipalities, and three small islands 

a,re included in municipalities. 

Table 4 (p. 9) show;s the population of Porto Rico, 

including, the adjacent islands of Vieques, Culebra, 

Mona, Caja de Muertos, and Cardenas, distributed 

n.ccording to municipalities and barrios at the Federal 

Census of 1910 and at the special census of 1899, 

taken under the direction of the War Department. 

'I~he arrangement of municipalities is alphabetical. 

Under each municipality the toW11 from which the 

:rnunicipo,lity is named is first given, printed in italics. 

Next follows the barrio or barrios which in.elude the 

,town. The remaining barrios of the municipality 

fl.re arranged alphabetically except in cases where, 

!l>t the census of 1899, two or more barrios were 

combined in the population returns. In isuch cases 

the subdivisions are listed together for purposes of 

comparison with the census of 1899. The changes in 

boundaries or name which have taken place since 1899 

£Ll'e indicated in the footnotes to the table .. 

A comparison of: the population of barrios in 1910 

with that of the corresponding areas in 1899 is of 

course impossible, where barrios, returned separately in 

i 910, were returned in combination with other barrios 

in 1899. Comparisons have, however, been made for 

1;hese barrios in combination. It may be noticed that 

the municipality totals as given in Table 4 for 1899 

sometimes exceed the aggregate population of the 

divisions as shown in the table. The cause of the 

difference in each case is explained in a footnote to 

the table. 

Urban and rural population compared.-The condi1l;ions in Porto Rico are such that it is possible for the 

Census Bureau, for purposes of discussion, to classify 

the population as urban or rural in a manner similar 

to that used for continental United States. Urban 

population is defined by the Bureau of the Census as 

that residing in cities, towns, or villages of 2,500 

inhabitants or more, and rural population as that 

residing outside of such places. 

While it was possible in enumerating the popula-

, tion of Porto Rico to define with practical accuracy 

the urban areas within the several municipalities and 

barrio~, and to make separate returns for these areas, 

it should be noted that, excepting the cities of San 

Juan and Ponce, the communities classified as urban 

are not in Porto 'Rico, as they are generally in the 

United States, separately incorporated. In Porto 

Rico the areas classified as urban embrace the relatively denselypopulated areas of 2,500 inhabitants or 

more even when these are not defined by political 

boundari~s. In most instances little difficulty waE! 

encountered by enumerators in maintaining' this 

distinction, and it may be fairly assumed that no 

appreciable error enters i1fto the returns. 

The comparison of the urban and rural population 

in 1910 with that tit tho enumeration of 1899 may be 

made either with respect to the actual proportions 

of the two classes at each enumeration or with respect to 

the increase between enumerations. In order to contrast the proportion of the total population living in 

urban or rural territory at the census of 1910 with 

the proportion urban or rural at the census of 1899, 

. it is necessary to classify the tenitory according to 

· the conditions aB they exiBted at each census. In this 

comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants 

·in 1899 and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rura~ 

population for 1899. and with the urban for 1010. 

On the other hand, in order to present fuirly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as regards 

their rate of growth, it is necessary to consicler the 

changes in popultttion for the game territOl'y which 

have occurred from one census to the other. For this 

purpose the territory which in 1910 was urban or 

rural, as the case may be, is taken as a basis, and 

the population in 1899 for the same territory (so far 

as separately reported at that census) is presented, 

even though part of the territory may, on the basis 

of its population at the earlier census, have then been 

in a different class. This avoicls the disturbing 

effect on compi~risons which would ii.rise from tl;te 

passage, for example, of communities formerly classed 

as rural into the urban group. These two distinct 

forms of comparisons ttre made in Table 38 for Porto 

Rico as a whole and for each municipality sepnrately 

for the censuses of 1910 and 1899. 

Table 2 presents the population of Porto Rico 

at the censuses of HllO and 1899, distributed 

among places grouped according .to specified limits 

of population, together with the percentage of the 

total population contained in each group at each of the 

censuses named. The classification is based upon the 

population of each place as returned iit eJ;tch census. 

As shown hy the table on the next page, the urban territory of Porto Rico in 1910-thatis, the places of 2,500 

inhabitants or more-contained 224,620 inhabitants, 

or 20.1 per cent. of the total population, while 893,392 

inh'abitants, or 79.9 per cent, lived in rural territory.

In 1910 the two places thon having more than 25,000 

inhabitants each, San ,Jrn:111 n.nd Ponce cities, containell 7.5 per cent of the total population of Porto 

Rico, while the corresponding percentage for 1899 wn.s 

6.3. The combined population of tho groups of urban 

places having loss than 25,000 inhabitants oach compr~secl 12.G and 8.3 per cont of tho total population of 

Porto Rico i:it the censuses of 1!)10 and 18Q9, respectively. 

In 1910 the population of San Jun,n and Ponce cities, 

?.7 towns, and I village comprised the urban population 

of Porto Rico, while tho rural population was con,tainecl 

in t18 places of loss than 2,500 inhabitants en,ch and 

in the remaining territory. Tho 48 places of less than 

2,500 inhabitants each hu.d an aggregate popul11rtion of 

55 ,667, constituting 5 per cent of tho total population 

of Porto Rico. These places comprised 27 having from 

1,000 to 2,500 inhabitu.nts each, with a combined population of 41,465; 16 having from 500 to 1,000 inhabitants each, with a combined populatio11 of 12,505; and 

5 having loss than 500 inhabitants each, with a combined population of 1,697. The population living in 

other rural territory represented 74:9 per cent of the 

total popuh1tion. 

· 'l'able 38 shows that 8 municipalities had a larger 

• proportion and 6 municipalities a smaller proportion 

of urban population in rn10 than in 1899, while for 3 

mmiicipalities the proportion was tho same. Twelve 

municipalities which wore wholly rural in 1899 WPTe 

pttrtly urban in 1910, and 39 munici1)alities were 

wholly rural at both censuses. 

In order to compare the rate of growth in urban and 

rural communities it is necessary in each case, as previously explained, to consider the changes in population which have occurred in the same territory from 

one decennial census to another. With this end in 

view places classed as. urban or rural according to 

their population in 1910 are taken as a b!tsis, and the 

aggregate population in 1910 and in 1899 of tho same 

places is then compared. Thus, as shown in Table 

3, the total population in 1910 of those places 

which at that time had 2,500 inhabitants or more was 

224,620; in 1899 tho total population of these same 

places (so far as separately reported) was 164,610. It 

mn,y be noted that tho latter :figure exceeds the total 

population in 1899 of those places which at that time 

had over 2,500 inhabitants each, 138,703 (see •rable 

2), by 25,907. The difference is the result of the 

passn,go since 1899 of certain communities from the 

rural to tho urban class. 

In 'l'able 3 the urban population of Porto Rico 

is distributed so as to show, for 1910 and 1899, the 

combined population of the places having in 1910 

over 25,000 inhabitants, and from 2,500 to 25,000 

inhabitants, respectively, and the population of the 

remainder of Porto Rico. 

A compnrison of the total population in 1910 of 

places httving a population of not less than 2,500 each 

with the total population of the same places in 1899, 

11s given in the table below, shows an increase of 36 .5 

· per cont. This represents the rate of growth of urban 

communities as thus defined. During the same periocl 

the rural popuhttion, comprising that of the remainder 

of Porto Rico, inc1:oasecl 13.3 per cent. Urban population thus increased more than two and one-half times. 

as rnpidly as rural. 

As shown by Table 38, the rural populn.tion decreased 

in five municipalities, and tho urban population in thr·ee 

municipalities, Utuado being the only municipality 

in which both the rural and tho urban population 

decreased.

COLOR O'.R RACE, NATIVITY, PARENTAGE, AND SEX. 

Oolor or race, nativity, and parentage.-Table 6 

shows, for 1910 ancl 1899, the population of Porto Rico 

distributed according to color or race, nativity, and 

parentage. In 1910 the population of Porto Rico 

was 65.5 per cent, or nearly two-thirds, white, 30 per 

cont mulatto, and 4.5 per cent black. It was 98.9 

per cent native, and 1.1 per cent foreign born. The 

native population embraces, together with persons 

bom in :Porto Rico, all inhabitants of Porto Rico who 

wern born in the United States or in any of its outlying 

possessions. Native whites of native parentage constituted 62.3 por cent of the total population ~nd 95.1 

per cont of the white population. Native whites of 

foreign or mixed parentage constituted 2.4 per cent of 

the total population, and foreign-born whites 0.9 

per cent. 

The increase of 17.3 per cent for bhe total population covered an increase of 25 per cent for the native 

whites, a decrease of 14.5 per cont for the foreign-born 

whites, a decrease of 15.4 per cent for the blacks, and 

m1 increase of 10.1 per cent for the mulattoes. The · 

comparability of the 1910 with the 1899 data as re-:-

gards nativity is, however, somewhat impaired by the 

fact that at the census of 1899 persons born in the 

United States, to the number of 1,069 (972 white and 

97 colored), were classified as foreign born. If these 

had been classified as native, the total native for 1899 

would have numbered 940,445, and the total foreign 

born 12, 798; the total native white would havo numbered 578,981 and the tot,al foreign-born white 10,445. 

On the basis of the 1910 classification the percentage 

increase, 1899-1910, of the native white population 

was 24.8, and the percentage decrease of the foreignborn whites was 6.5. As regards the decrease of the 

black population, it should be borne in mind that 

where blacks intermarry with those of other classes, 

their children are classified as mulattoes. 'l'o the 

extent of their intermarriage with other classes the 

blacks are therefore estoppecl from any natural increase whatever. If the number of such marriages 

were sufliciently great, the births of blacks would be 

insufficient to offset the deaths, and the number of 

blacks would in that case necessarily decrease. Some 

portion of the mulatto increase in Porto Rico during 

the intercensal period 1899 to 1910 is undoubtedly 

attributable to intermarriages of the sort indicated, 

but to what extent can not be accurately determined. 

As compared with the distribution by color in 1899, 

the percentage white was somewhat higher, the percentage mulatto and black somewhat lower in 1910.

Table 7 gives the urban and rural distribution of the 

color and nativity elements in rnio. Of the total populn.tion 20.1 per cent1 or approximately one~filth1 lived 

in areas classified as urban-that is, in municipalities 

or communities which had in 1910 a populatfon of 

2,fiOO inhabitants or more. The percentage urban in 

1899 ·was 14.6 (see Table 38). For native whites of 

native parentage the percentage urban in 1910 was 

only 15.5. 0£ the foreign white elements a much 

larger proportion lived in urban communities, the 

percentage urban being for native whites of foreign parentage 52.8, for native whites of mixed parentage 52.9, and for foreign-born whites 62.9. Those 

foreign white elements in the aggregate, however, as 

shown in Table 6, constituted only 3.3 per cent of the 

total population. Of the mulattoes, 23.6 per cent, 

and of the black population, 34.5 per cent, lived in 

urban communities.

Nativity and parentage, by color or raoe.-The 

na,tivity of the color and race elements in Porto Rico's 

population is given for 1910 in Table 8. Of the total 

population, 98.9 per cent were native and 1.1 per cent 

foreign born. In no one of the principal classes was 

more than 2 per cent foreign born.

Table 9 presents in foll detail the data relating 

to parenfage for the color and nativity elements in 

1910. The natives of each elemental group were in 

1910 very largely of native parentage. Of the 722, 791 

native whites, 696,699 reported both parents native; 

of the 49,215 native blacks, 47,381, and of the 334,236 

native mulattoes, 330)66 reported both parents native. In the total native population of 11 106,:246, 

there were only 51770 persons 'returned as having ·both 

parents foreign born, and 26,226 as having·one parent 

native n,nd one parent foreign born. Of these latter, 

23,812 reported foreign fathers n,nd 2,414 foreign 

mothers. It thus appears that native women more 

frequently marry foreigners than do native men. 

Of the 11,766 foreign born, 11,291 reported both 

parents foreign born and only 475-of whom 415 were 

whites-reported one parent native and one parent 

foreign born.

Sex.-There were in 1910, ~s shown by Table 10, 

557,301 males in the population of Porto Rico and 

560,711 females, or 99.4 males to 100 females. The 

number of males to 100 females in 1899 was 98.2. 

In each class of the irntive whites, a1{cl in the black 

and the mulatto population, females outnumbered 

males, the lowe.st ratio, 93.6 to 100, being t,h~t for 

native whites of mixed parentage. Among mulattoes 

the number of males to 100 females was greater in 
18 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

1910 than it was in 1899-98.5 as compared with 95.8; 

among the blacks it was somewhat less-95.6 as compared with 96.2. In the foreign-born white population males greatly outnumbered females at each census, with a ratio of 318.5 males to 100 females in 1910, 

and a still higher ratio in 1899.

If in 1899, as explained on page 578, persons born in 

the United States had been considered as native instead of foreign born, the ratio of males to 100 females 

would have been considerably higher for the foreign~ 

born white than that shown (363.4 instead of 352.2) 

and would have been somewhat higher, also, for each 

of the other three nativity classes given in the table. 

In the urban population in 1910, as shown by Table 

11, there were 84.4 males to 100 females, and in the 

rural 103.5. In the urban native population the ratio 

was 81.6, and in the rural native 103 to 100; the corresponding ratios for the foreign born were 230.1 and 

322.9 to 100.

AGE DISTRIBUTION AND MARITAL. CONDITION. 

Age.-The age distribution in 1910 of the principal 

color, nativity, and parentage elements, by se:x, is 

given by five-year age periods in Table 15, single 

years being shown for the population under 25. In 

Table 12 the age distribution by :five-year periods of 

the total population in 1910 is compared with the 

distribution in 1899, while in Table 13 is given the 

distribution by broaller age periods of the native and 

foreign-born whites and of the colored at each of the 

two censuses.

1 See Note 2, Table 6. 2 Includes a small number of persons of unknown age. 

In 1910 more than one-half of the mulattoes and of 

the native whites of native parentage were under 20 

years of age, the percentage under 20 being for these 

classes 55.9 and 53.3, respectively. The percentage 

under 20 among the blacks was 44.5; among the 

native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 44.1; 

and among the foreign-born whites, 11.4. The proportion of children among the foreign-born whites 

was very small, only 1.1 per cent of this class being 

under 5 years of age, as compared with 16.6 .per cent 

under 5 in the total population. The percentage 

under 5 was relatively high among the mulattoes (17 .9) 

and among the native whites of native parentage 

(16.7), and relatively low among the blacks (12.2) 

and the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage 

(9.5). As already noted, in the case of intermarriages 
POPULATION. 19 

oJc blacks with those of other classes, the offspring 

are classified as· mulattoes. This classification tends 

to reduce the proportion in the younger age groups 

for the blasiks, and to increase the proportion in 

those age groups for tho mulattoes. As regards the 

n:11tive wl;iites of native parentage, also, it should be 

borne in mind that this class embraces, together 

with the children of native parents, the children of 

rn11tives of foreign or mixed parentage, while the 

n:ative children of the foreign born are .classified as 

n111tives of foreign parentage. 

As regards the total population the age distribution 

by :five-year periods in 1910 was not materially differ-

. ent from that in 1899. The proportion under 1 year 

of age, and under 5 years, was slightly greater in 1910 

than it was in 1899, and the proportion 5 to 9 somewhat less, but the difference in the percentages by 

age periods is generally inconsiderable. Similarly 

in the distribution by broader age periods for the 

n:ative whites, the foreign-born whites, and the colored, 

as shown by Table 131 the percentages for 1910 do not 

differ materially from those for 1899. 

The age distribution of the total population and 

of the native and the foreign-born whiteR in Porto 

R.foo in 1910 is brought into comparison in Table 14 

with the distribution of these classes in the United 

St11tes; the data relating to the colored population 

of Porto Rico, which is almost entirely black and 

mulatto, are also given ih comparison with data for 

the negro population of the United States, which 

likewise embraces both the black and the mulatto 

elements, although the proportion mulatto in the 

negro population of the United States (20.9 per cent) 

is much smaller than it is in the colored population 

of Porto Rico. 

As regards the total population, the comparability 

of the data is somewhat impaired by the fact that 

the age distribution of the total population in the 

United States is considerably affected by the age 

distribution of the foreign born, among whom the proportion in the younger ages is small. This class constitutes a larger proportion of the total population in 

the UnHed States than it does in Porto Rico, the percentages being 14.7 and 1.1, respectively-a condition 

which accounts in part for the fact that the percentages under 5 and from 5 to 14 years of age in the total 

population of the United States are lo"'."er than the 

corresponding percentages for Porto Rico. Among 

the native whites, however, as well as in the total 

population, the proportion in the younger ages is 

greater in Porto Rico than it is in the United E:'..tates; 

and this is true n.lso of the colored in Porto Rico, as. 

compared with the negro population of the United 

States.

From the d1,1.ta relating to the age distribution by 

single years of age for persons under 251 as shown in 

Table 15, it is apparent that the returns of age are 

not sufficiently accurate for any. considerable refinement of tabulation. In the several classes there is 

marked eoncentratio1i upon certain ages, for example, 

2, 7, 10, 12, 14, 18, 20, and 22 years. It may be 

fairly assumed, however, that the errors are largely 

neutralized in the grouping by five-year periods.

POPULATION. 21 

Marital condition.-The statistics of marital condition for 1910 are given in detail for each of the principal classes, by sex and age periods, in Table 17, while 

comparative :figures are given for the two census years, 

1899 and 1910, for three main classes in Table 16. In 

the total population 15 years of age and over, 43.7 per 

cent of the males and 38 per cent of the fem ales were 

returned as single in 1910. The percentage married 

was 36.2 for males and 35.4 for females. If, however, 

those consensually married (that is, living together as 

husband and wife by mutual consent) be included, 

the percentage married becomes for males 52.2 and for 

females 51.1. The percentage wiaowed was 3.9 for 

males and 10.7 for females. The number reported as 

divorced, comprising 423 males and 813 females, is 

ibelieved to be too small because of the probability 

that a considerable number of divorced persons were 

returned as single or widowed. The percentage single 

"both for males and females was lowest for the foreignborn whites, being 40.9 for males and 30.l for females. 

This relatively low percentage may be largely ac-

•:iounted for by the relatively small proportion of 

foreign-born whites, as compared with the proportion 

of other classes, in the age group 15 to 19, in which 

group the percentage single in the total population was 

very high (98.7 for males and 85.8 for females). 

That the percentage single was so much smaller for 

:females than for male~ may be explained by the fact 

that women marry younger than men. Thus, of the . 

females 15 to 19 years of age, 14 per cent were married 

(including those consensually married), and of the 

males only 1.2 per cent; the corresponding percentages 

for those 20 to 24 years were 55. 7 and 25. 7, respectively; 

for those aged 25 to 29 years, 70.9 and 59.6. In the 

next age group, 30 to 34 years, the difference in the 

percentages (which were 73.3 and 74, respectively) 

largely disappears, while in the older age groups the 

percentage married was much higher for males than for 

females. The proportion widowed in the older age 

groups was much greater for females than for males, the 

percentages for those 35 to 44 years of age being 10.4 

for females. and 3.6 for males; for those 45 to 64, 31.8 

and 10.4, respectively; and for those 65 and over, 58.1 

and 27.1. The high percentage widowed for females 

is. a natural consequence of. the age differences which 

commonly exist between husbands and wives. Since 

women marry younger than men, husbands are commonly older than their wives, and the marriage relationship is more often broken by death of the husband 

than by death of the wife. The high percentage 

widowed for the foreign-born white females, 21.2, is 

in part attributable .to the relati'.vely large proportion 

of this class, as compared with the proportion of other 

classes, in the more advanced age groups, in which the 

percentage widowed is normally high; of the total 

number of foreign-born white females 15 years of age 

and over, the percentage over 45 years of age was 

38.7, the corresponding percentage for the numerically 

much larger class of native white ferno1es of native 

parentage being only 20.6. 

Both for males and for females the percentage single 

was lower and the percentage married higher in 1910 

than it was in 1899, in the total population and in 

each of the three classes shown in Table 16, namely, 

the native white, the foreign-born white, and the colored. The percentage widowed was somewhat lower 

in 1910 than it was in 1899 among the native whites 

and the colored of both sexes, but was practically unchanged (very slightly higher in 1910) among the 

foreign-born whites.

Year of immigration of the foreign born.-The distribution of the foreign born population in Table 22 by 

year of immigration is based upon the calendar year 

of immigration to the United States or any of its outlyi11g possessions. The years, therefore, do not necessarily refer to tho date of arrival in Porto Rico. As 

shown by Table 22, of 11,766 foreign-born residents 

of Porto Rico enumerated at the census of 1910, 768 

(of whom 617 were white, 82 black, and 69 mulatto) 

designated 1909, the fast complete calendar year co.vered by the table, as the year of their arrival in territory of the United States. The number of arrivals 

credited to 1909 exceeds that of any other of the frve 

single years, 1905-1909, shown in the table. Nearly 

one-half (5,075) of the foreign-born residents designated 1890 or an earlier year as the year of their 

arrival; 2,391, some year in the decade 1891-1900 i 

and 3,857, a year subsequent to 1900.

' Less than one-tenth of 1 por cent. 

In 1910, 67.2 per cent, or approximately two-thirds, 

of the males of voting age were whites, 27.5 per cent 

were mulattoes, and 5.2 per cent were blacks. Native 

whites of native parentage constituted 61.9 per cent 

of the males of voting ago; native whites of foreign 

or mixed parentage, 2.7 per cent; and foreign-born 

whites, 2.6 per cent. As compared with 18991 the proportion white in 1910 was somewhat greater. Males 

of militia age-18 to 44-increased from 177)041 in 

1899 to 215,321 in 1910. The distribution by color 

or race of the males of militia age does not di.ff er 

materially from that of males 21 years of age and over. 

Citizenship.-Table 24 presents the results of a 

special inquiry at the census of 1910 as to the citizenship of all males 21 years of age and over. In this 

table Porto Rican citizenship is distir\guished from 

United States citizenship, and Spanish citizenship 

is shown separately, citizens of Spain being more 

numerous in Porto Rico than are the citizens of all 

other foreign countries combined. Of the total number of males 21 and over in 1910, 238,685 were of 

Porto Rican citizenship, 4,112 were of Spanish citizenship, 1,836 were citizens of the United States, and 

2,385 were citizens of other foreign countries. Of those 

of Porto Rican citizenship, approximately two-thirds 

were whlte and one-third colored, the whites being 

largely natives of native parentage. Of the 4, 112 

residents of Spanish citizenship) only 40 were colored 

and of the 1,836 citizens of the United States 1 only 143 ~

26 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

In the total population in 1910 there were 

404,211 persons of school age-that is, 6 to 20 years 

of age-of whom 127,766, or 31.6 per cent, had at-, 

tended school at some time between September 1, 

1909, and the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910. 

In addition to these there were 3,374 children under 6, 

and 1,209 persons of 21 and over who had attended 

school. In the white population of school age the 

percentage of school attendance was 37 .1 for males 

and 28.9 for females. In the black population the 

corresponding percentages were 33.3 and 30.8, and in 

the mulatto population 31.1 and 26.6. The percei\tage 

of school attendance was highest among native whites 

of foreign or mixed parentage, in which class the percentage was 61.6 for males and 57 for females. Only 

35.1 per cant, or ,approximately one-third, of the 

children 6 to 9 in the total population had attended 

school, and only 47 per cent, or less than one-half, of 

the children 10 to 14. The percentages for these ages 

are much below the corresponding percentages for the 

United States, in the total population and generally in 

the classes shown in 'l1able 27, which gives for Porto 

Rico and for the United States the percentage attonding school, of children 6 to 9 and 10 to 14 years of age, 

classified by color, nativity, and parentage.

The number and proportion of persons 6 ,to 20 years 

of age and 6 to 14, respectively, attanding school in 

urban and rural communities are shown for 1910 in 

Table 28. In tha total population 6 to 20 years of 

age and ln each class except the foreign-born whites, 

the percentage attending school was much lower in 

the rural population than ii; was in the urban. In the 

urban population 51.3 per cent) or slightly over onehalf, of the persons 6 to 20 had attended school; in the 

rural, only 26.9 per cent, or slightly over one-fourth. 

The percentage of school attendance for the foreignborn whites of school age was, however, very low (28.5) 

in the urban population, being somewhat higher (37 .8) 

in the rural. For children 6 to 14 years of age also 

the percentage at school was much lower in the rural 

population than it was in the urban--35.2 as compared 

with 72.3. For the native white children of foreign 

or mixed parentage 6 to 14 years of age tho percentage 

attending school was much higher than for any at.her 

class (90.5 in the urban and 68.1 in the rural).

In Table 29 the statistics of school attendance for 

1910 and 1899 are compared for the native and the 

foreign-born whites, and for'the colol'ed, on the basis 

of the age classifications used in the report for 1899, 

namely, for children 5 to 17 years of age and for the 

constituent groups 5 to 9, 10 to 14, and 15 to 17 

yt1ars. 

In the total population the percentage of children 5 

to 17 years of age attending school had risen from 8 in 

1899 to 35.2 in 1910; among children 5 to 9 the percentage rose from 7.1 to 29.7; among those 10 to 14, 

it rose from 11.7 to 47; and among those 15 to 17, from 

1.9 to 22.2. The smail number of children under 5 

attending school decreased from 209 in 1899 to 61 in 

1910, but the number of persons 18 years of age and 

over increased in the same period from 205 to 4,902. 

The percentage at school was decidedly greater in 1910 

than it was in 1899 for each class shown, and among 

both males and females.

of native parentage and of foreign or miXed parentage, 

and for the blacks and mulattoes separately. There 

were 520,084 persons returned as illiterate in 19101 

constituting 66.5 per cent, or practically two-thirds, 

of the population 10 years of age and over. The percentage of illiterates for males was 62.3; for females, 

70. 7. By classes it was as follows: Mulattoes, 73; 
POPULATION. 29 

bla.clcs, 71.4; whites, 63.3; native whites, 64~3; native 

whites of native parentage, 66.4; native whites of 

foreign or mixed parentage, 16.8; and foreign-born 

whites, 10.2. Of all children 10 to 14 years of age, 

49.2 per cent, or very nearly one-half, were illiterate; 

for the age group 15 to 19, the percentage was 59. 

In each of the succeeding age groups the percentage 

wai;i higher than it was in the group immediately preceding, being highest (82.4) for those 65 years of age 

and o-ver. · The percentage was higher for females than 

for males in each class shown separately and in each 

age group except among blacks 10 to 14 and 15 to 19 

yeaol'S of age. 

In the total population the percentage of illiteracy 

in 1910 was lower than it was in 1899-66.5 as compared with 79.6. For each class also the percentage 

in 1910 was lower than it was at the earlier census. 

For convenience the percentages given in Table 34 

for the total population, and for the native whites, 

the foreign-born whites, and the colored, in 1910 and 

in 1899, are brought together in Table 31.

was much lower in the urban than in the rural population-39. 7 as compared with 74.2; and was lower for 

males than for females, both in the urban, and in the 

rural population. For each class shown separately 

also, as for the total population, the urban percentage 

was lower than the rural, and the percentage for males 

lower than that for females both in the urban and in 

the rural population. Among the mulattoes the 

urban percentage was 51.61 the rural 80.5; among the 

blacks, the percentages were 57.3 and 79.5, respectively. The lowest percentage was that for the 

foreign-born whites-6.6 in the urban population and

DWELLINGS AND FAMILIES. 

In census usage a "dwelling" is any building or 

structure in which one or more persons reside. The 

term "family" as here used means a household or 

group of persons, whether related by blood or not, who 

share a common abode, and also any person living entirely alone. The statistics as to dwellings and families are summarized in Table 37 for Porto Rico and 

for the three largest places-San Juan, Ponce, and 

Mayaguez. The number of dwellings in Porto Rico in 

1910 was 202,404, and the number of families 219,827, 

the number of families to 100 dwellings being 108.6. 

The average numb~r of persons to a dwelling was 5.5 in 

1910 and 6 in 1899; the average number per family 

was 5.1 in 1910 and 5.2 in 1899. For the three places 

shown, the average number of persons per family was 

lower than for Porto Rico as a whole, being 4. 7 in San 

76616-13-3 

Juan, 4.4 in Mayaguez, and 4 in Ponce. The average

STATISTIOS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE TERRITORY AND ITS 

MUNIOIP ALITIES. 

Prepared under the supervision of LE GRAND Powims, former Ohief Statistician for Agriculture, 

and JORN LEE COULTER, Expert Special Agent for Agriculture. 

Introduction.-This chapter presents a complete 

s1i;atement of the statistics of agriculture for Porto 

Rico collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of 

forms and farm property relate to April 15, 1910; those 

of farm products, expenses, and receipts are for the 

calendar year 1909. 

Definitions.-To assist in securing comparability for 

its statistics of agriculture, the Bureau of the Census 

provided the enumerators with certain definitions and 

instructions, the more important of which were essentially as given below. 

Farm.-A "farm" for census purposes is all the land which is 

directly formed by one person managing and conducting agricultural operations, either by his own labor alone or with the assistance of members of his household or hired employees. The term 

"agricultural operations" is used as a general term referring to 

the work of growing crops, producing other agricultural products, 

and raising animals, fowls, and bees. A "farm" as thus defined 

may consist of a single tract of land, or of a number of separate 

and distinct tracts, and these several tracts may be held under 

different tenures, as where one tract is owned by the farmer and 

another tract is hired by him. Further, when a landowner has 

,. one or more tenants, renters, croppers, or managers, the land 

operated by each is considered a "farm." 

In applying the foregoing definition of a "farm'" for census 

purposes, enumerators were instructed to report as a ''farm" any 

tract of 3 or more acres used for agricultural purposes, and also 

amy tract containing less than 3 acres which produced at least $250 

worth of farm products in the year 1909. 

Farmer.-A "farmer" or "farm operator," according to the cen· 

EIUS definition, is a person who directs the operations of a farm. 

Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm opera· 

tions are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the 

Bureau of the Census into tJn·ee general classes according to the 

eharacter of their tenure, namely, owners, tenants, and managers. 

Farm owners include (1) farmers operating their own land only, 

and (2) those operating both their own land and some land hired 

from others. The latter are sometimes referred to in the ceiisus 

reports as ''part owners, " the term '' owneri;" being then restricted 

to those owning all their land. 

Farm tenants are farmers who, as tenants, renters, or croppers, 

operate hired land only. They were reported in 1910 in three 

classes: (1) Share tenants-those who pay a certain· share of the 

products, as one-half, one-thhd, or one-quarter; (2) share-cash 

<tenants-those who pay a share of the products for part of the land 

:rented by them and cash for part, and (3) cash tenants-those who 

pay a cash rental or a stated amount of labor or products, such as 

$7, 10 bushels of wheat, or 100 pounds of seed cotton per acre. 

Managers are farmers who ai:e, conducting farm operations for the 

owner for wages or a salary. 

Farm land.-Farm land is divided into (1) improved land, (2) 

woodland, and (3) all other unimproved land. The same classification was followed in 1880. At former censuses, except that of 

1880, farm land was divided into improved land and unimproved 

land, woodland being included with unimproved land. Improved 

land includes aJI land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured 

and cropped in rotation, land lying fallow, land in gardens, ol'chards, 

vineyards, and nurseries, and land occupied by farm buildings. 

Woodland includes all land covered with natural or planted forest 

trees, which produce, or later may produce, firewood or other 

forest products. All other iinimproved land includes brush land, 

rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not 

improved 9r in forest. The census classification of farm land. as 

"improved land," "woodland," and "other unimproved land" is 

one not always easy for the farmers or enumerators to make, and 

the statistics therefore must be considered at best only a close 

approximation. 

Total value of farm products.-No attempt has been 

made at this census to compute or even to estimate 

approximately the total value of farm products. 

Among the numerous difficulties which stand in the 

way of obtaining a total which would be at once 

comprehensive, free from duplication, and confined 

exclusively to the products of a de:fuiite period of time 

are the following: 

(1) The duplication resulting from the feeding of farm crops to 

farm live stock, when the value both of the products derived from 

such live stock and of the crops are included in the same total. 

In 1900 an attempt was made to eliminate this duplication by 

means of an inquiry as to the total 'value of the products of each 

farm fed to the live stock on that farm, but, aside from the fact that 

this would not eliminate the duplication where the products of one 

farm are fed to the live stock of another farm, it is believed that 

the farmers wern unable to mi+ke even approximately accurate 

answers to the inquiry, and it was accordingly not included in 

the schedule for 1910. 

(2) The fact that farmers may buy domestic animals during 

the census year which are subsequently sold or slaughtered during 

the same year, and that it is impossible to eliminate the duplica~ 

tion accurately; and the further fact that the value of domestic 

animals sold or slaughtered, or of forest products cut, during a 

given year (as well as some other minor items) does not usually 

represent a value created wholly during that year, and that it is 

quite impossible to ascertain the value created during the year. 

(3) The fact that the returns for some producta are incomplete. 

The returns for all products are to a considerable extent estimates 

made by the· farmers. Special difficulty was encountered in cases 

where the person in possession of the farm in April, 1910, when the 

census was taken, was not in possession of it during the crop year 

1909. In such cases the fa1:mer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding 

year. It iB probable that the returns for the principal crops are in 

general fairly accurate, but that those for minor crops and for dairy 

and poultry products are frequently understatements, particularly 

because the home consumption was disregarded or underestimated. 

In the belief that no accurate result could be obtained from such 

an inquiry, the Bureau of the Census did not even attempt to 

ascertain the total quantity and value of certain by-products, such 

as straw and cornstalks, which are of considerable importance, the 

schedule calling only for the value of such by-produe.s sold.

Between 1899 and 1910 there was an increase of 

1134,769, or 17.3 per cent, in the population of Porto 

Hico. In 1910 the number of farms was 58,371, arid 

the area of farm land was 2,085,162 acres. The improved land in farms was 1,570,304 acres, and the 

average size of farms 35.7 acres. No comparable 

d:ata are available for earlier years. 

Farm property, which includes land, buildings, 

implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic 

animals, poultry, and bees), amounted to $102,379,000 

in 1910. Of this total, $73,968,000 represented the 

value of land; $8,753,000, buildings; $8,711,000, implements and machinery; and the remainder ($10,-

9·4:7,000) the different classes of live stock. The 

average value of all farm property per farm was 

$1,754; of land, $1,267; and of buildings, $150. The 

average value of land was $35.47 per acre. 

Farm tenure: 1910.-The next table shows, for white 

and colored farmers combined and for each class 

s1eparately, the number of farms, the total acreage, 

improved acreage, and value of land and buildings for 

fnrms operated by owners (including part owners), 

managers, and tenants, respectively. 

Of the 46,779 farms operated by owners, 43,297 

were reported as consisting of owned land only, while 

8,482 were reported as renting additional land; of the 

10,422 tenant farms, 5, 744 were operated by share 

tenants, 4,535 by cash tenants, while 143 were operated

The next table shows, for white and colored 

farmers combined and for each class separately, the 

per cent distribution, by tenure groups, of the items 

in the preceding table, and also the percentage of farm 

land improved, the average acres per farm, and the 

average value of land and buildings. 

It will be seen that, in 1910, 69.9 per cent of all land 

in farms was in farms operated by their owners, 19.3 

per cent in farms operated by managers, and 10. 8 per 

cent in farms operated by tenants. 

Of all land in farms operated by white farmers, 69 

per cent was in farms operated by their owners, and 

10.6 per cent in tenant farms, while of that in farms 

operated by colored farmers, 77.7 per cent was in farms 

operated by owners, and 12.8 per cent was in tenant 

farms. 
54 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

The a"Verage size of farms operated by managers in 

1910 (343.4 acres) was about ele"Ven times as great as 

that of farms operated by owners (31.2 acres), whi.ch 

was in turn considerably larger than that of farms 

operated by tenants (21. 7 acres). The average "Value 

of land and buildings per farm ranges from · $782 for 

tenants to $23,845 for managers. In 1910 the percentage of farm land impro"Vecl was highest for farms 

operated by owners, and lowest for those operated by 

managers, there being, however, but little difference · 

in the proportions given for the three classes of tenure.

The average size of farms operated by white farmers 

in 1910 (42.2 acres) was nearly three times us large as 

that of farms of colored farmers (14.7 acres). The 

proportion of land impro"Vecl was slightly larger for 

farms of colored farmers than for those of white 

farmers, being, respectively, 77 and 75.1.per cent of the 

total acreage in each class of farms. · 

Farm mortgages: 1910.-The agricultural schedules 

of the Thirteenth Census (1910) collectccl data relating 

to mor..tgage debt on farms, the basis being "owned 

farms.n 

The next table relates to farms operated by persons owning all or part of the land, and shows for 1910 

(1) the n'umber of such farms reported as free from 

mortgage; and (2) the number reported as mortgaged. 

In 1910 the total number of farms owned in whole 

or in part by the operators was 46,779. Of this 

number, 44,398 were reported as free from mortgage 

and 2,381 were reported as mortgaged. 

The statement of mortgage debt and of the value 

of mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms 

of those farmers who owned .all of their land and reported the amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. 

In certain municipalities the reported mortgage 

debt is higher than the reported "Value of farms. 

These are sections of the territory which were heavily 

mortgaged before the .American occupation and where 

land on account of the prosperity of the coffee industry 

was valued at a "Very high rate. There has since been 

a great . clepreciatim1 in the Yal~e o.f )and in tl:tese 

districts due in part to the coffee crop ha"Ving become 

. much less profitable under the new regime,. and more 

particularly to the disastr.ous effects of the hurricane 

which devastated that section of the territory in 

1899.

In general, as shown by the preceding table, the 

percentage of farm land improved diminishes as 

the size of the farms increases. For this reason 

and also because buildings have normally a higher 

value in proportion to farm acreage on small than 

on large farms, the average value of land and 

buildings per acre of land is greater for farms of 

under 5 acres than for those in any size group 

under 17 5 acres; in farms of 17 5 to 499 acres and of 

500 to 999 acres, however, the average value per acre 

is greater than in smaller farms, and in farms of 1,000 

acres and over it iS much greater than in farms of 

any other size group.

domestic animals, poultry, and bees in 1910 was 

$10,947,000, of which domestic animals contributed 

$10,657,000. The value of cattle represented 75.8 per 

cent of the total value of live stock; that of horses and 

mules, 18.4 per cent; that of swine, 2.3 per cent; that 

of goats, 0.6 per cent, and that of poultry, 2.4 per cent,

Horses were reported by 41. 7 per cent of all the farms 

in the territory, but only 8.7 per cent reported colts 

born in 1909 and only 2.9 per cent reported spring colts. 

The average value of mature horses was reported at 

$33.93. Less than two farmers in every hundred reported mules. The average value of mature mules 

was nearly double that of horses. 

Of all farms, 57 per cent reported swine, the average 

number being over 3 per farm reporting. The average. 

value of the swine reported as ''hogs and pigs born 

before January 1, 1910," was $3.53, while that of 

spring pigs was about one-third as much. 

Sheep and lambs were reported from only 866 farms, 

or 1. 5 per cent of all the farms in the territory. Of these 

866 farms, 45.7 per cent reported spring lambs, the 

nmnber of the latter being 37.5 per cent of the number

The total value of all domestic animals in the territory in 1910 was $10,935,000, of which the value of 

animals not on farms represented only 2.5 per cent1 

this small proportion being attributable to the predominantly rural character of the population lll 

ber of horses. Por to R ico. 

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS. 

The returns for live stock products at the census of 

1910, like those for crops, relate to the activities of the 

calendar year 1909. It is impossible to give a total 

representing the annual production of live stock 

products for the reason that, as shown elsewhere, the 

total value of products from the business of raising 

domestic animals for use, sale, or slaughter can not 

be calculated from the census returns. Even if this 

value could be ascertained and were added to the value 

of the crops the sum would not correctly represent the 

total value of farm products, because, as already more 

fully explained, duplication would result from the fact 

that part of the crops are fed to the live stock. 

Dairy products: 1909.-The :first table on the next 

page shows the principal statistics relative to dairy 

products in 1909. 

The number of farms. reporting dairy cows on April 

15, 1910, was 23,996, but only 20,472 reported dairy 

products in 1909. That there should be this difference 

is not surprising; Doubtless some formers who had 

dairy cows in 1910 had none in 1909, while other 

farmers neglected to give information for the preceding year, or were unable to do so, perhaps because the 

farm was then in other hands. Dairy products in 

general are somewhat less accurately reported than 

the principal crops. This is particularly the case as 

regards the quantity of milk produced. The number 

of farms whicl~ made any report of milk produced during 1909 was 20,291 (considerably less than the total 

number reporting dafry products), and the number of 

dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was 

55,286. The amount of milk reported was 27,693,000 

gallons; assuming that there were the~ same number 

of cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 501 gallons per cow. In considering this 

average, however, it should be borne in mind that 

the quantity of milk reported is probably deficient 

and that the distinction between dairy and other 

cows is not" always strictly observed in the census 

returns. 
AGRICULTURK 57 

By reason of the incompleteness of the returns for 

milk produced, the Census Bureau has made no 

attempt to determine the total value of dairy products 

for 1909. For convenience a partial total has been 

presented comprising the reported value of milk sold 

and of cheese made, whether for home consumption 

• or for sale. The total thus obtained for 1909 was 

$722,000, which may be defined as the total value of 

dairy products exclusive of milk used on the farm 

producing.

The total number of fowls on Porto Rico farms on 

April 15, 1910, was 669,000'. Of the 44,908 farms 

reporting fowls, 2, 775 did not report any eggs produced 

·in 1909, and 2,288 did not report any poultry raised in 

1909. The number of eggs produced in 1909, as 

actually reported, was 2,421,000 dozen, valued at 

$378,000, but the total production of eggs (including 

estimates made to cover those cases where the schedules 

reported fowls on handwithoutreporting the production 

of eggs) was 2,534,000 dozens, valued at $396,000. The 

total production of poultry in 1909, including estimates made on the same basis as for eggs, was 1,221,000 

fowls, valued at $481,000. , 

Honey and . wax: 1909.-,,Although, as noted elsewhere, 229 farms reported 5.,913 colonies of bees on 

.hand April 15, 1910, 82 of these farms, with 535 colonies on hand April 15, 1910, made no report of honey 

or wax produced in 1909. 'The actual returns show 

the production of 281,000 pounds of honey, valued at 

$15,853, and 23,442 pounds of wax, valued at $3,691; 

the true toto,ls are doubtless somewhat above these

1 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent. 

The total value of animals sold during 1909 was 

$969,000, and that of animals slaughtered on farms 

$128,000, making an aggregate of $1,097,000. This 

total, however, involves considerable duplication, resulting from tho resale or slaughter of animals which 

had been purchased by the farmers during the same 

year. 'I'he value of cattle (inc;luding calves) sold during 1909 represented over 80 per cent of the total value 

of animals sold, and the value of horses and of sWine 

sold constituted most of the remainder.

The total value of m1ops in 1909 was $25 ,559 ,000. 

The· general character of Porto Rico agriculture is indicated by the fact that more than one-half (51.2 per 

cent) of the total value of crops in 1909 was contributed by sugar cane and over one-filth (20.7 per cent) 

by coffee. The remainder, representing in value 28.1 

per cent of the total, consisted mostly of fruits and 

nuts, of tobacco, and of vegetables. 

The leading crops covered by .the preceding table, 

in the order of their importance as judged by value, 

are sugar cane, $13,089,000; cofl'ee1 $51292,000; vegetables, $1,243;000; tobacco, $1, 938,000; and corn, 

$528,000. It should be noted, however, that tro1)ical 

fruits, which appear in another table, are more impor-· 

tant than vegetables, tobacco, or corn. 

Tropical fruits, 15rapes, and nuts: 1909.-The following table presents data with regard to tropical

'l'he total value of tropical fruits in 1900 was 

$2,294,000. Guineos (bananas) contributed over two-

:fifths of this value; pifias (pineapples), platanos 

(plaintains), and chinas (ornnges) most of the remainder. The production of nuts in 1909 consisted 

entirely of coconuts, numbering 15,568,000 n,nd vn.1-

ued at $222,000. A small production of uvas 

(grapes) was reported, amounting to only 21610 

pounds, valued at $107.

$12,452,000, or an average of $601.48 per farmer hiring. Of the total amount expended, $1,056,000 was 

in the form of rent and board. 

Less than one-twelfth (7.4 per cent) of all tho farm.-

ers reported expenditure fDr feed, the totn.1 amount 

reported being $176,000, or an avern.ge of $40.77 per 

farm reporting. Three farmers out of every hnndred 

purchased fertilizers, these farmers reporting an expencliture of $911,000, or an averu.ge of $519.03 por 

farm reporting. 

Receipts from sale of feedable crops: 1909.-An 

effort was made at the census of 1910 to secure as 

complete a· statement as possible of the sn.les, as well 

as of the production, of the more important foedn.ble 

crops (that is, those crops which are ordinarily fed to 

live stock). 

While the total amount expended by Porto Rican 

farmers for the purchase of feed in 1910 was reported 

as $176,000, the total receipts from the sale of feed 

by those reporting sales amounted to $327,000.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE TERRITORY, CITIES, AND . INDUSTRIES. 

Prepared under the supervision of W. M. S•rEU.ART, Chief Statistician for Manufactures. 

INTRODUCTION. 

This chapter gives the statistics of manufactures 

for the territory of Porto Rico for the calendar year 

1909 1 as shown by the Thirteenth Census. 

The text summarizes the general results of the 

census inquiry, presenting a series of special tables in 

which the ma:in facts printed :in the general tables are 

giyen in convenient form for the territory as a whole 

and for important industries. It also presents tables 

in which the statistics for the industries of the territory 

a.s a whole and for a few important industries are 

cl!Lssified by character of ownership, size of establishmiE1nts1 number of wage earners, and prevailing hours 

Qf labor, information which could not be presented in 

general tables for each industry without disclosing the 

facts for individual establishments. 

At the end of the chapter are two general tables. 

Table I gives the number of establishments and 

of persons engaged in the industries, primary power, 

capital, salaries and wages, cost of materials, value 

of products, and value added by manufacture for all 

industries combined and for certain important industries in 1909. 

Table II gives separate statistics for all industries 

combined for the four cities that had in 1910 a population of 10,000 and over. 

JS cope of census: Facte>ry industries.-Census statistics of manufactures are compiled primarily for the purpose of showing the 

absolute and relative magnitude of the different branches of industry covered and their growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort is 

made to present data throwing light upon character of organization, 

location of establishments, size of establishments, labor force, and 

similar subjects. When use is made of the data for these pUl'poses 

it is imperative that due attention should be given to the limitations 

of the figures. Particularly is this true when the attempt is made 

to derive from them figures purportjng to show average wages, cost 

of production, or profits. These limitations will be fully discussed 

in the general report on manufactures for the United States as a 

whole. It is impossible to reproduce such discussion in the chapters 

relative to the individual) states. 

'rhe census of 1909 for Porto Rico was not confined strictly to 

manufactUl'ing establishments conducted under the factory system, 

as distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries. The census does not include establishments which were 

idle during the entire year or had a value of products of less than 

$500, or the manufacturing done in educational, eleemosynary, 

and penal institutions. 

Period cove:red.-'rhe returns cover the calendar year 1909, or 

the business year which corresponds most nearly to that calendar 

year. The statistics cover a year's operations, except for establishments which began or discontinued business during the year. 

The establishment.-The term "establishment" comprises the 

factories, mills, or plants which are under a common ownership or 

control, and for which one set of books of account is kept. 

If, however, the plants' constituting an establishment as thus 

defined were not all located within the same city or state, separate 

reports were secured in order that the separate totals might be included in the statistics for each city or state. In some instances 

separate reports were secured for different industries carried on in 

the same establishment. 

Classification by industries.-The establishments were assigned 

to the several classes of industries according to their products of 

chief value. The products reported for a given industry may thus, 

on the one hand, include minor products very different from those 

covered by the class designation, and, on the other hand, may not 

include the total product covered by this designation, because some 

part of this product may be made in establishments in which it is 

n.ot the product of chief value. 

Selected industries.-'-The general tables at the end of this 

chapter give the principal facts separately for the industries of the 

territory. A selection has been made of the leading industries of 

the territory for more detailed consideration. Sometimes an industry of greater importance than some of those selected is omitted 

because it comprises so few establishments that these detailed 

presentations would reveal the operations of individual concerns. 

Persons engaged in industry.-The following general classes of 

persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprieto rsand officials, (2) clerks (including other 

subordinate salaried employees), and (3) wage earners. The first 

group includes proprietors and firm members, salaried officers of 

corporations, and superintendents and managers. 

The number oi persons engaged in the inil.ustries, segregated by 

sex, and, in the case of wage earners, also by age (whether under 16 

or 16 and over), was reported for December 15, or the nearest representative day. The 15th of December was selected as representing 

for most industries normal conditions of employment, but where 

conditions were exceptional, and particularly in the case of certain 

seasonal industries, such as sugar and molasses, the December date 

could not be accepted as typical, and an earlier date had to be chosen. 

In the case of employees other than wage earners the number 

thus reported on December 15 or other representative day has been 

treated as equivalent to the average for the year, since the number. 

of employees of this class does not vary much from month to month 

in a given industry. In the case 0of wage earners the average is 

obtained in the manner explained in the next pamg1·aph. 

Wage earners.-In addition to the report by sex and age of the 

number of wage earners on December 15 or other representative 

day, a report was obtained of the number employed on the 15th of 

each month, without distinction of sex or age. Fl'D:m these figures 

(81) 

- I 

~ ' ' 

'' 
82 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

the average number of wage earners for the year has been calculated 

by dividing the sum of the numbers reported each month by 12. 

The average thus obtained represents the number of wage earners 

that would be required to i)erform the work done if all were constantly employed during the entire year. Accordingly, the importance of any industry as an employer of labor is believed to be more 

accurately measured by this average than by the number employed 

at any one time or on a given day. 

The distribution of this average number by sex and age has been 

estimated or computed for each industry on the basis of the proportions shown in the age and sex distribution reported for the 

wage earners employed in that industry on December 15 or the 

nearest representative day. It is believed that the distribution 

thus obtained can be accepted as typical. 

The number of wage earners reported for the representative day, 

though given for each separate industry, is not totaled for all industries combined, because in view of the variations of date such 

a total is believed not to be significant. It would involve more or 

less duplication of persons working in different industries at different times, would not represent the total number employed in all industries at any one time, and would give an undue weight to seasonal industries as compared with industries in continual operation. 

Prevailing hours of labor.-The census"made no attempt to ascertain the number of employees working a given number of hours 

per week. The inquiry called merely for the prevailing practice 

followed in each establishment. Occasional variations in hours in 

an establisl1roentfrom one period to another are disregarded, and no 

attention is given to the fact that a limited number of employees 

may have hours differing from those of the majority. In the tables 

all the wage eamers of each establishment are counted in the class 

within which the establishment itself falls. In most establishments, however, all or practically all the employees work the same 

number of hours, so that these £gures give a substantially correct 

picture of the hours of labor in manufacturing industries. 

Capital.-For reasons stated in prior census reports, the statistics 

of capital secured by the census canvass are so defective as to be 

without value, except as indicating very general conditions. The 

instructions on the schedule for securing capital were as follows: 

'l'he answer should show the total amount of capital, both owned 

and borrowed, on the last day of the business year reported. All 

the items of fixed and live capital may be ta1cen at the amounts car- ried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, the fact should 

be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or buildings is 

owned, the rems:inder oeing rented, that fact should be so stated 

and only the value of the owned property given. Do not include 

securities and loans representing mvestrnents in other enterprises. 

Materials .-Cost of materials refers to the materials used during the 

yeru:, which :may be more or less than the materials purchased during 

the year. The te1·m "Matei·iala" includes fuel, rent of power and 

heat, mill supplies, and containers, as well as materials forming a 

constituent part of the product. Fuel includes all fuel used, 

whether for heat, light, 01• power. 

\ 

Expenses.-Under "Expenses" are included all items of expense 

incident to the year's business, except interest, whether on bonds 

or other forms of indebtedness, dividends on stock, and aHowances for depreciation. 

Value of products.-'£he value of products for any industry includes the total value of all products manufactured in establishments whose products of chief value fall under the industry 

designation. The amounts given represent the selling value at the 

factory of all products manufactured dill'ing the year, which may 

differ from the value of the products sold. Amounts received :for 

work on materials furnished by others are included. 

Value added by manufaoture.-'l'he value of products is not a 

satisfactory measure of either the absolute or the relative importance of a given industry, because only a part of this value iii 

actually created by the manufacturing process carried on in the 

industry itself. Another part of it, and often by far the larger 

part, represents the value of the materials used, which have 

been produced by agriculture or mining or by other industrial 

establishments. For many purposes, therefore, the best ,.measure 

of the importance of dii'ferent classes of industry is the value 

created as the nisult of the manufactμring operations carried on 

within the industry. This value is obtained by deducting the 

cost of the materials consumed from the value of the product. 

The figure thus obtainecl is termed in the census reports "value 

added by manufacture." 

'l'here is a further statistical advantage which "value added" 

has over gross value of· products. In combining the value of 

products for all industries the value of products produced by one 

establishment and used as materials in another is duplicated, and 

the total, therefore, gives a greatly exaggerated idea of the wealth 

crnated. No such duplication takes place in the total "value 

added by manufacture." · 

Cost of manufacture and profits.-Census data do not show the 

entire cost of manufacture, and consequently can not be used to 

show profits. No account has ·been taken of interest and depreciation. Even if the amount of profit could be determined by deducting the expenses from the value of the products, the rate of 

profit on the investment could not properly be calculated, because 

of the very defective character of the returns regarding capital. 

Primary power.-The figures given for this item show the total 

of the primary power used by the establishments. They do not 

cover the power developed by motors operated by su~h power, 

the inclusion of which would evidently result in duplication. 

Location of establishments.-The Census Bureau has classified 

establishments by their location in cities or classes of cities. In 

interpreting these figures due consideration should be given to the 

fact that often establishments are located just outside the boundaries of cities, and are necessarily so classified, though locally they 

are looked upon as constituting a part of the manufacturing interests of the cities.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL. 

General character of the territory.-Porto Rico is 

the smallest and most easterly of the four Greater 

Antilles (Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica, and Porto Rico), its 

area being 3,435 square miles. It was ceded formally 

to the United States by Spain under the treaty of Paris, 

December 11, 1898. On May 1, 1900, acivilgovernment 

·was established, tind on July 25, 1901, a proclamation 

was issued by the President declaring that free trade 

existed between the United States and Porto Rico. 

In 1910 the population was 1,118,012. This popufation is distributed evenly O"Ver the entire island, only 

9 .. 9 per cent living in cities of 10,000 inhabitants and 

o-ver. San Juan, with a population of 48,716 in 1910, 

is the largest city. Three other cities have a population of more than 10,000: Ponce, with ?5,005; Mayaguez, with 16,563; and Caguas, with 10,354. The 

density of population of the island is 325 per squa.re 

mile, the corresponding figure for 1899 being 278.

In 1909 the territory of Porto Rico ha.cl 939 manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to 

an average of 18,122 persons during the year and paid 

out $4,898,000 in salaries and wages. Of the persons 

employed, 15,582 were wage earners. These establishments turned out products to the value of $36, 750,000, 

to produce which materials costing $21,479,000 were 

consumed. The value added by manufacture was thus 

$15,271,000, which figure best represents the net wealth 

created by manufacturing operations during the year. 

The present census of manufactures was the first 

taken in Porto Rico, and for that reason the statistics 

can not be compared with any earlier figures. A census of agriculture was taken in 1899, under the direction of the Secretary of War, and, considering the 

dependency of manufacturing upon agriculture in the 

case of Porto Rico, furnishes a general basis to indicate 

the progress of manufactures subsequent to the acquisi-

~ion of the island by the United States.1 The progress

Uureau of Statistics on Commercial Porto Rico in 1906. 

and unusually productive soil have made the island 

well adapted for agriculture, upon which its manufactures are directly dependent. In the lowland 

plains, only a little above the level of the sea, the soil 

is alluvial and rich, and here the sugar cane, the 

island's most productive crop, is grown. On the slopes 

of the upland hills, from 600 to 2,400 feet above sea 

level, tobacco and coffee thrive, these crops ranking second and third in importance. Of the total area, about 

95 per cent is returned as in farms, and of the total 

farm acreage 75.3 per cent is reported as improved. 

Importance and growth of manufaotures.-The manufacture of sugar and molasses, the making of cigars 

and cigarettes, and the cleaning and polishing of 

coffee are the most important manufacturing industries of Porto Rico. 

The following table gives the more important :figures 

relative to all classes of manufactures combined for 

the territory, as returned at the census of 1909:

of manufactures during the past 10 years is also indicated by the amount of exports, since but a comparatively small proportion of the manufactured 

products is consumed locally. This is especially true 

in respect to sugar and molasses, coffee, and cigars 

and cigarettes, which have together formed from 85 

to 90 per cent of the tota.l exports during the past 

few years.

The most important industries listed in this table, 

where they are arranged in the order of the value of 

products, call for brief consideration. 

Sugar and molasses.-This industry is by far the 

· most important manufacturing industry in the island. 

The value of its products formed 56 per cent, and the 

value added by manufacture 54.3 per cent, of the 

respective totals for all industries. 

Tobacco manufactures.-This industry was practically con£ned to the manufacture of cigars and 

cigarettes, and all but two of the establishments were 

engaged in the manufacture of cigars only. Of the 

282 cigar and cigarette factories reported, 45 were 

engaged in manufacturing cigars or cigarettes either 

wholly or partially for export. The value of tobacco 

manufactmes intended for local consumption approximated $1,500,000, or about 25 per cent of the total 

value of all tobacco manufactures. From the standpoint of the number of employees this industry is of 

greater importance than the manufacture of sugar, 

reporting 45.1 per cent of all wage earners, as compared with 32.5 per cent for the latter industry. 

Oojfee, cleaning and polishing.-While this is one of 

the characteristic industries of the territory and its 

value of products was relatively large, forming 13.7 

per cent of the total for all manufacturing industries, 

it gave employment to an average of only 120 wage 

earners. 

Bread and other bakery products.-The large number of establishments engaged in this industry is due 

to the fact that domestic bread making is not carried on extensively, and practically all the bread consumed on the island is made by persons who make a 

specialty of this line of work, which is conducted in 

small shops. This industry gave employment to an 

average of 1,197 wage earners, and the value of the 

products amounted to $1,730,000. 

Liquors, distilled.-This industry depends directly on 

the sugar an.d molasses industry for its raw material. 

Its products are principally alcohol and rum. 

Measured by value added by manufacture, these 

industries held generally the same relative rank as 

when measured by value of products, though liquors, 

distilled, becomes third in order instead of coffee, 

cleaning and polishing, which, in turn, becomes fifth. 

The :five industries represent 92.4 per cent of the total 

value added by manufacture. 

Among the industries not listed separately in the 

table the canning and preserving of pineapples, the 

manufacture of chocolate and cocoa products, and the 

manufacture of bay rum and alcoholado may be ·:mentioned as peculiar to the tropical climate of Porto Rico. 

Persons engaged in manufacturing inqustries.-The 

following tabie shows the distribution of the average 

number of persons engaged in manufactures, the average number of wage earners being distributed by sex 

and age in the manner already explained in the

This table shows that there were 18,122 persons 

returned as the average number engaged in manufactures during 1909, of whom 15,582 were wage 

earners, 1,786 officials, and 754 clerks. The large 

proportion of proprietors and :firm members was due 

to the unusual number of general and limited partnerships, the former being composed for the most part; 

of the so-called family partnerships, and the latter

b1eing in some respects similar to the corporate form 

of ownership. Gorresponding figures for individual 

industries will be found in Table II. 

In considering this table it should be noted that 

soveral of the industries are peculiarly seasonal, so 

that the number employed during certain months is 

far greater than the average number for the entire 

yiear. The variation in the number employed is very 

pronounced in the sugar and molasses industry, which 

for several months gave employment to only about . 

2;1 200 wage earners, while during the busy seaspn over 

8:1400 were employed. 

The following table shows the percentage of proprietors and officials, clerks, and wage earners, respectively, in the total number of persons employed in 

manufactures. It covers all industries combined and 

five important industries.

Of the persons engaged in all manufacturing industries, 9.9 per cent were officials, 4.2 per cent clerks, and 

86 per cent wage earners. In the cleaning and polishing of coffee .and in the manufacture of distilled liquors 

a large number of establishments a.re conducted by individuals and general and limited partnerships, and the 

work is done to a great extent by the proprietors and 

partners. Therefore the proportion of persons engaged 

in these industries falling in the class of proprietors and 

officials is very high, namely, 48.9 per cent in each case. 

A much smaller proportion is shown for this class in the 

two industries sugar and molasses and tobacco manufaCtures. 

The following table shows, for 1909, in percentages,

Of the clerks, 97:7 per cent were male and 2.3 per

male and i0.6 per cent female; 95.1 per cent were 16 

years and over and but 4.8 per cent were under 16years. 

It may be noted that the largest number of women 

are employed in the manufacture of tobacco, whil~ 

the sugar and molasses industry gives employment to 

the largest number of children. Of the 1,654 female 

wage earners in all industries combined, 1,342, or 81.l 

per cent, were employed in the manufacture of tobacco; and of the 7 58 ·wage earners in all industries 

under 16 years of age, 601, or 79.3 per cent, were in 

the two industries last named. With the tobacco 

industry omitted the females over 16 in all other industries combined would be 3.5 per cent of the -total 

number of wage earners, and with the two industries 

tobacco manufactures and sugar and molasses omitted, 

persons of both sexes under 16 years of age, 4.5 per

The single industry of sugar and molasses, which 

is a seasonal industry, giving employment to a large 

number of persons from January to :M:ay, inclusive, 

and to comparatively few from June to December, 

affects greatly the tota,l for all industries combined. 

It thus not only makes the month of February the 

month of greatest employment, but also magnifies the 

irreguladty of employment throughout the year. Outside the sugar and molasses industry the number of 

wage earners employed apparently underwent but little 

change, the numbers showing a gradual and almost 

uninterrupted increase from :M:arch to December and 

a falling off from December to :M:arch. 

Prevailing hours of labor.-Establishments have been 

classified also according to the prevailing number of 

hours of labor of the bulk of their employees; that is ~o 

say, the wage earners of each establishment are all class'.L-

:fied according to the prevailing hours of labor in the

different number of hours. The table that foIIows 

shows the result of this classification. It is based on 

the average number of wage earners employed during 

the year. In the case of sugar and molasses this 

average is far less than the number employed in the 

busy season.

It is eviden.t from these :figures that for nearly onehalf of the wage earners employed in the manufacturing industries of Porto Rico the prevailing hours of 

labor are 48 or under per week, or not over 8 hours per 

day. Of those working the number of hours named, 

by far the greater number were employed in the 

tobacco industry. The next largest group of wage 

earners was that made up of those employed 72 hours 

per week, or 12 hours per day. Most of those falling in 

this group were employed in the sugar and molasses 

industry. 

The tobacco factories, which furnish steady employment throughout the year to a larger number of wage 

earners than any other manufacturing industry, operated generally 48 hours or less per week. Only 116

wage earners, or 1. 7 per cent of the total for the 

industry, were employed in establishments which were 

operated more than 54 hours per week, while 5,630 

wage earners, or 80.1 per cent of the total, were 

employed in establishments which were operated 48 

hours or less. On the other hand, in the sugar mills, 

4,615 wage earners, or 91.2 per cent of the total for the 

industry, worked 60 hours or more per week, while 

only 447, or 8.8 per cent of the total, worked less than 

60 hours. Indeed, in the sugar industry 2,644 wage 

earners, or 52.2 per cent of the total, worked 72 hours 

'or more per week ..

Tho populatio1i of,..J?orto :ij,ico is overwhelmingly 

rural, only 9.9 per cent living in cities of 10,000 

inhabitants and over. Likewise the· factories of the 

island are located largely in rural districts and small 

towns and are not concentrated to any extent in the 

cities. 

The group of cities having a population of 10,000 to 

25,000 in.eludes Mayaguez and Caguas, and the group 

having a population of 25,000 and over includes San 

Juan and Ponce. A comparison of the :figures for the 

two groups shows a larger percentage of the population employed in manufacturing and a greater per 

capita. value added by manufactu~e in the second 

group than in the :first, but a larger per capita value of 

products in the :first group than in tho second. This 

seeming anomaly is due to the fact that the principal industry in the :first group, and particularly in 

Mayaguez, was the cleaning and polishing of coffee, in 

which industry the work done on the raw material and 

the consequent in.crease in value through manufacture 

is small, as compared with the value of the commodity. 

In San Juan and Ponce, on the other hand, the manufacture of tobacco is the chief industry, and in this 

industry the work done upon the raw material and the 

consequent increase in value through manufacture is 

much greater. 
MANUFACTURES. 87 

While Mayaguez has only about half the population 

of Ponce, a far ·larger number of establishments were 

located in the former, and the total value of. its products was nearly equal to that of Ponce. 

The co_:ffee cleaning and polishing industry contributed 68.3 per cent of the total value of manufactures 

rHported for Mayaguez, and 64.8 per cent of that 

r.eported for Mayaguez and Caguas combined. This 

industry requires the services of only a few men in 

comparison with the number required in the tobacco 

f.actories of San Juan and Ponce. 

Character of ownership.-The table that follows has

1 Includes the group "Other," to avoid disclosure of individual operations. 

In 1909 only 63 incorporated companies were engaged in manufactures, and, with the exception of the 

37 engaged in the sugar and the tobacco industries, 

they were not large. While only 6. 7 per cent of all 

· BBtablishments were under this form of ownership, they 

were credited with 51.6 per cent of the total value of 

products and 59.8 per cent of the total value added by 

manufacture. In the sugar and molasses and tobacco industries the establishments under corporate 

ownership, though greatly in the minority, were credited with 63.8 per cent and 79.1 per cent, respectively, 

of the total 'value of products of the respective industries. This disproportionately large value added by 

manufacture shown for establishments under corporate 

ownership for all industries combined is to a great 

extent due to the tobacco industry. 

The firm or partnership occupies in Porto Rico an 

unusually conspicuous place as a form of ownership. 

In 1909, 36 limited partnerships were reported manu-;-

facturing products valued at $4,938,272, and 159 general partnerships manufacturing products valued at 

$7,948,111. The largest number of establishments, 

672, is shown for the individual form of ownership, but 

their value of products amounted to only $4, 781,300, or 

13 per cent of the total. Three cooperative associations engaged in the manufacture of bread and other 

bakery products, four religious orders and societies, one 

trade union, and the Territorial Government Bureau of 

Printing and Supplies comprised the "Other" forms of 

ownership. 

Size of establishment.-The tendency for manufacturing to become concentrated in large establishments, or the reverse, is a matter of interest from the 

standpoint of industrial organization. In order to 

throw some light upon it, the next table groups the 

establishments according to the value of their products. 

The table also shows the average size of establishments 

for all industries combined, andforimportant industries 

separately, as measured by number of wage earners, 

value of products, and value added by manufacture. 

This table shows that in 1909, of the 939 esttiblishments only 6, or 0.6 per cent, had a value of products 

exceeding $1,000,000. These establishments, however, 

notwithstanding their small number, had a total average number of wage earners of 4,300, or 27.6 per cent 

of the total number in all establishments; and the 

importance of their operations, as measured by value 

of products, was 26.1 per cent of the total, and by value 

added by manufacture 31.4 per cent of.the total. 

On the other hand, small establishments-that is, 

those having a valuf) of products of less than $5,000-

constituted a very considerable proportion (61.1 per 

cent) of the total number of establishments, but the 

value of their products amounted to only 3 per cent of 

the total. The great bulk of the manufacturing was 

carried on in establishments having products valued 

at not less than $100,000. 

In some respects, and especially from the standpoint 

of conditions under which persons engaged in manufactures work, the best classification of establishments to 

bring out the feature of size is a classification according 

to the number of wage earners employed. The second . 

table on page 650 shows such a classification for all 

industries combined and for five important industries, 

and gives not only the number of establishments falling in each group, but also the average number of wage 

earners employed.

MANUFACTURES. 89 

This table shows classes in considerable detail. 

Consolidating these classes to a certain extent it will 

be seen that 89 per cent of the establishments employed 'under 21 persons each. The most numerous 

single groμp consists of the 623 establishments 

employing under 6 wage earners; the next being the 

group employing from 6 to 20, with 196 establishments. There were 6 establishments that employed 

over 250 wage earners; 2 employed over 1,000. 

Of the total number of wage earners, 28.7 per cent 

were in establishments employing over 250 wage 

earners. The single group having the largest number 

of employees was the group employing from 101 to 

250 wage earners. This group employed 4,059 wage 

earners, or 26 per cent of the total. Two of the individual industries listed in this table, sugar and mol11sses and tobacco manufactures and snuff, are industries in which comparatively large. establishments 

do most of the business, as appears from the classification of the wage earners. 

Expenses.-As stated in the Introduction, the census 

does not purport to furnish figures that can be used 

for determining the cost of manufacture and profits. 

F'acts of interest can, however, be brought out concerning the relative importance of the different classes of 

expenses going to make up the total. 

The following table shows, for 1909, in percentages, 

the distribution of expenses among the classes indicated for all industries combined and for certain important industries separately. The :figures on which 

the percentages are based appear in Table I.

This table shows that, for all industries combined, 

619 per cent of the total expenses was incurred for materials, 15.7 per cent for services-that is, salaries and 

wages-and 15.3 per cent for other purposes. The 

unusually large amount reported for miscellaneous expenses is due in part to the internal-revenue taxes, 

Federal and insular, paid on tobacco and distilled 

liquors, and also to the large amount reported in the 

sugar and molasses industry under the general head of 

"Rent of offices and buildings, rent of machinery, 

royalties, use of patents, insurance, ordinary repairs 

of buildings and machinery, advertising, traveling, and 

other sundry expenses." 

Engines and power.-The following table shows for 

a,11 industries combined the number of engines or other 

motors, according to their character, employed in generating power (including electric motors operated by 

purchased current), and their total horsepower at the 

census of 1909. It also shows separately the number 

and horsepower of electric motors, including those operated by ~urrent generated in the manufacturing 

establishments.

This table indicates that practically all the power reported was generated by steam and gas 'engines. 

Thirty electric motors, with a total of 944 horsepower, 

were run by current generated in the establishments, 

while 85 motors, with a total of 441 horsepower, were 

run by rented power. Although the water power 

available is very great, and almost constant the year 

round, comparatively little was used in the manufacturing industries of Porto Rico in 1909. 

Of the total horsepower for all industries, by far the 

greater part, 31,055 horsepower, or 91.3 per cent, was 

employed in one industry, namely, the sugar and mola::;ses industry. The tobacco factories required little 

power, and the factories engaged in the cleaning and 

polishing of coffee, which used the second largest 

amount of power, reported an aggregate of only 1,085 

primary horsepower. Of the 939 establishments engaged in manufacturing in 1909, only 221 reported 

mechanical power in any form. 

Fuel.-Olosely related to the question of kinμ of 

power employed is that of the fuel used in generating 

this power, or otherwise as material in the manufacturing processes. Porto Rico hr1s no mineral fuel, and its 

wood supply is being depleted as manufactures increase. The following table shows the quantity of 

each kind of fuel used in 1909:

90 STATISTICS FOR PORTO RICO. 

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES. 

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects 

details regarding the quantity and value of materials 

and products which do not appear on the general 

schedule. Data for the quantity and value of products for three important industries in Porto Rico are 

here presented. 

Sugar and molasses.-A total of 566,445,203 pounds 

of raw sugar and 17,874,097 gallons of molasses was 

reported as manufactured during 1909. The total 

value of the raw sugar was $20,16418871 of the molasses 1 

$39710081 and of all other products $7,453, or an aggregate vah10 of products of $20,5691348. As ah-eady 

stated, this industry is the leading manufacturing 

industry of the island. The modern methods and machinery installed in recent years have increased the production of sugar, but the quantity of molasses produced 

has remained about stationary. In 1909 there were no 

refineries in Porto Rico, and all the sugar used and 

exported was the raw brown sugar. Cane sugar only 

was produced. 

Tobac,co manufactures.-The quantity of cigarettes 

and the value of cigars and cigarettes can not be 

published separately without disclosing the operations of individual establishments, but a total of 

217,792,000 cigars was reported as manufactured 

during 1909. Of this number, 152,739,000, or about 

70 per cent, were for export and the remainder 

for local consumption. On the other hand, only 

2.3 per cent of the cigarettes manufactured were for 

export. 

While the tobacco plant is indigenous to the island, its 

cultivation was, prior to 1870, confined to small plantings for domestic consumption. The tobacco exports 

ranked thi~d in value up to 1905. In that year they 

were practically equal to those of coffee, and since 

1907 have greatly exceeded them. As this industry 

and the sugar and molasses industry have prospered 

the coffee industry has declined. The land used fo; co~ee i.s well ad~p~ed to to~acco growing, and upon 

leg1slat10n perm1ttmg the importation of tobacco 

from Porto Rico into the United States practically 

free of duty, the growers planted these lands in~tobacco. 

At the same time, the manufacturers of cigars and 

cigarettes began to pay more attention to the quality 

of the material used and to the skill of the labor 

employed. 

Coffee, cleaning and polishing.-The coffee tree is 

not native to the island, but was introduced there in 

the :first half of the eighteenth century. The first 

exports of coffee are reported to have occurred in 1765 

and were of small value. By 1879, however, the raising of coffee had become an important industry, and 

from 1890 to 1898 it increased to such an extent that 

the value of the exports far exceeded those of sugar 

and molasses. 

Practically all of the coffee raised goes through a 

complete or partial process of cleaning, hulling, polishing, and grading to prepare it for the market. The 

total quantity of rough coffee treated in 1909 was 

65,225,378 pounds. The total quantity of cleaned and 

polished coffee obtained was 44,350,435 pounds. AU 

but 5 of the .37 coffee mills reported the process of 

polishing the coffee. The product of these 5 mills, 

which cleaned, hulled, and dried the berry without 

polishing it, amounted to only 1,153,695 pounds. 

The modern wet process is superseding the older 

dry method, but requires a larger investment than 

the small· planters can a:fforc1. The result is that the 

business of preparing the coffee for rn(Lrket is being 

transferred from the plantation to the large custom 

mills. 

The following statement shows the number of coffee 

cleaning and polishing establishments engaged in merchant and in custom work, together with the value of 

products of the several classes of establishments in"
