Omaha has especially benefited By tht
newer methods Of production in this In
dustry. and yet the dairymen far out on
the farms OF The state. selling their cream
and avoiding the drudEery OF working Il
and shipping the often Low class product.
have also proflted very apprec.abIy.
In 100 Omaha. for instance. had but two
modest butter factories. whereas today
the city has four great plants that are
sending It's name and fame. as a butter
producing center all over the country and
into other countries. Omaha's output for
100 is given as S17s5.s7s. which is tss per
cent Of the total output Of the state. OF
The factories In the state in 1850 only four
teen were operating cream SEPARATOR.
against sixty-five In 1901 and Is In 1888.
which means that the bulk Of the cream
is now separated on the farms and not
much milk Is sent TO the central plants
The product Is being more carefully put
up. too. since in 1ss9 only IL per cent Of
the butter made was put into prints and
rolls. In 100 the percentage Of butter 80
put Up had risen to g per cent. Produe-
tion OF cheese has fallen eff very ma

crease being III in the iS9e-1S4 period and
s4.s in the 1900 period.
During the period Of fifty years from
1859 10 1913 the gross value Of products
per capita Of total population increased
from SCI to slS7. During the same time
the increase OF wage earnersi was from
SIS in 1859. or L. per cent OF total popula-
ton to per cent of the greatly increased
population in 1899. with an army OF nearly
8 coo on the payrolls, excluding pro-
prietors and firm members and salsried
employees.
In 1900 eS.7 per cent Of the popu-
latson resided in Incorporated cities
and towns Of $500 or over; in 1893 &.l per
cent Of the total population resided in
such places. The density Of population
had risen from 1919 per square mile in
1900 to 1s5 in 1909. From which II will be
seen that the growth in manufacturing
strength has been much greater than the
growth in population in fifty years.
No showing of Profits.
Profits on the business done cannot be
shown. for the reason. as set out in the
bulletin, that census data do not show
the entire cost of manufacture, and con-
sequently cannot be used to show profits"
Neither is any account taken of interest
or depreciation by the census returns.
What are designated as very defective
returns regarding capital are also
stumbling block, which makes It impossi-
BILE to determine the rate Of profit on
Investment, even II known expenses be
deducted from the value Of finished
product.
In addition to twenty-five industries
set out separately the enumerators found
nine other kinds Of factories-making bags
other than paper. brooms. soap, steam
railroad cars. coffee and spice grinding
food preparations, distilled liquors, copper
smelling and refining lead smelling and

of industry are grouped under the last

Milling Industry is strong.

Some emphasis is laid OH the high rank
taken by the FIGURING industry. both as TO
number of establishments and value Of
product. This takes in both flour and
grist mills While the principal cereals
have always been the staple and most
largely grown crops Of Nebraska, IT is
only within quite recent years that the
milling industry has experienced this
significant growth. While a number Of
the mills are Of more than average size.
the majority Of them are small and are
widely scattered in rural communities.
which may be considered a very healthy
Indication. During the last decade the

OF the wage earners of the state. They
also produce a per cent of the total
valuation of manufactured pFsducts.

The wage earners were Ell men and

According to the terms Of thethild labor
law OF Nebraska. none OF these children
could have been legally at work without

The statistics in this bulletin cover a
years operations and are probably the
nearest correct of any ever made. Per-
centage distribution by sex and age Of
the wage earners in each industry for
December 10. or the nearest representa-
tive day, was calculated from the actual
numbers reported for that date. This
percentage has been applied to the aver
age number of wage earners for the year
In that industry to determine the average
number Of men, women and children en-
ployed. These calculated averages for
the several industries have been added up
to give the distribution for the state as a
whole.
