The reports were taken for the cal
endar year ending December 81, 1903,
wherever the system of bookkeeping
permitting figures for that period to be
secured, but, where the fiscal year of
an establishment differed from the

ment for it's fiscal year falling most
largely within the calendar year 1909.
The Most Important Industries.
South Dakota is much more largely
devoted to agriculture than to manu-
factures. In 1900 the state ranked
twenty-ffth in the former industry and
forty-third in the latter, while the
value of the products of manufactures
was less than one-fth of that for agri-
culture. There are no great distinc-
tive manufacturing industries, and
those which are most important are
allied with agricultural pursuits or
due to local requirements. Several
of the largest industries in the state
in 1909 were as follows:
Flour and grist mill products, 95
establishments, having products valu-
ed at $6.20S,216; butter, 95 establish
ments, and products valued at $2,685,
511; printing and publishing, 391 es-
adjustments, products valued at ST.
974,951, and bread and other bakery
products, 92 establishments, products
valued at $1,160,536 OF the remain
ing industries none had products valu-
ted at as much as $1000,000

r schedule calls for the total amount
!. of capital, both owner and borrowed
t and invested in the business, but ex
!. cludes the value of rented property
n plant, or equipment, which was EN-
S ployed in the conduct of manufactur
g ing enterprises. In the final bulletins

: property will be shown separately.

e to the component materials which en-
+ ter into the products of the establish
t ,ments for the census year there ar,
h Included fuel, rent of power and heat
and mill supplies. The cost of mater
II ials, however, does not include unused
e materials and supplies bought eithe
y for speculation or for use during
d subsequent period.
