tries - SO ,99l 900 ~ Vermont ranked
40th among the states and, with an
average of 32,704 wage Gamers en-
gagged in such industries, it ranked 34th
in this respect. In 1909 the state
ranked 3sth in value of products and
saith in average number of wage earn
crs. In 1914, as compared with the to-
tai value of products of manufactures
for the United States, Nermont's pro
portion was three-tenths of l per cent.
The corresponding proportions for 1909
and 1904 were three-tenths of l per
cent and four tenths of ] per cent,
respectively.
Although the value of products and
cost of materials show greater in
creases from 1909 to 1911 than from
1901 to 1909. all the remaining items,
except rent and taxes, show smaller
percentages Of increase. while several
show actual decreases. The number Of
establishments reported at the census
of 1914 represented decrease of 1856

tom mills grinding for toll or local con
sumption. measured by value of pro
duets, ranked fifth in 1909, but dropped
to sixth place III 1914. There were
slight increases in value OF products
and average number of wage earners
during the fvc-year period, together
with a decrease in number of eStah-
lishments. This decrease was in har-
mony with the conditions prevailing
not only in many other states but in
the industry as a whole III the United
States, due largely to the abandonment
of a large number of small mills

at each successive census, although
much the greater for the five-year peri
cd 1904 1909. Each of the other two
