THIRTEENTH CENSUS PUBLICATIONS.
The results of the Thirteenth Decennial Census will be published in
two forms: A comprehensive report in 12 volumes, and a condensed
report, the Abstract of the Thirteenth Census, which is being issued
with Supplements for the different states.
The material contained in the Supplements embraces for each state
all of the census results published concerning the state, its counties,
cities, and other civil divisions, except as to occupations. This material
is bound up• in one volume with the Abstract of the Thirteenth
Decennial Census. The result is a series of editions of the Abstract
each with a different State Supplement, with the purpose of furnishing
those who receive the Abstract with the statistics of the state in which
they reside.
The material contained in the various State Supplements will also be
printed by subjects in the final reports. The chapters relating to Population for all of the states will be assembled in two volumes of the final
report on Population; those relating to Agriculture, in two volumes of
the final report on that subject; those relating to Manufactures, in one
volume of the final report on Manufactures; and •those relating to
Mining, in the final report on Mining.
The present pamphlet is a reprint of the State Supplement. It
contains no material which is not available in the bound volume of the
Abstract for the state to which it refers, or in the complete final report
of the Thirteenth Census, and has been issued in a very limited edition
for special purposes.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.--This chapter gives the population of
Connecticut, by counties and minor civil divisions, as
enumerated at the Thirteenth Census,taken as of April
15, 1910, with comparative statements of population
where possible, and a statement and discussion for
the state as a whole of the population living in urban
and in rural territory. The statistics are given in.
detail in two general tables.
Table 1 (p. 573) shows the population of Connecticut, distributed according to counties and minor civil
divisions, at the last three censuses, namely, those of
1910, 1900,and 1890. The arrangement of counties and
of the primary divisions in each county is alphabetical.
The figures for secondary divisions and for wards and
voting districts of cities are printed in italics. The
changes in boundaries, name, or form of organization
that have taken place since 1900 are indicated in footnotes to the table. For changes between 1890 and
1900 reference must be made to the census report

parent. The census usage in regard to certain terms
is, however, explained below:

boroughs in Connecticut, alphabetically arranged, with
their population in 1910, 1900, and 1890. For cities
and boroughs there is given in each case, in addition
to the county, the name of the town in which it is
located or with which it is coextensive.
The population of Connecticut, by counties, at each
of the last five censuses, from 1870 to 1910, inclusive;
the increase during the last two decades; the density
of population at the census of 1910; and the distribution of the population at the last two censuses according
to urban and rural districts, are given in Table I of
Chapter 2.
The tables and text of the present chapter contain
few technical expressions whose meaning is not ap-

Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number of square miles in its land area.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the different parts of the country,such as towns, townships, election precincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank next
to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In
many instances, however, these primary divisions contain political units of still smaller area, iluch as cities, incorporated villages,
towns, or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to as
secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defined.—The Census Bureau,
for purposes of discussion, has defined urban popidation as that
residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabit- ,
ants or more. In the New England States, in addition to cities
having this population, all towns having a population of 2,500
or more have also been classed as urban, without regard to the
population of the villages (whether incorporated or not) which
they may contain. The result is that the "urban areas" in New
England include some population which in other sections of the
United States would be segregated as "rural." This departure from
the general rule, rendered necessary by local conditions in New
England, probably makes no great change in the proportions of urban
and rural population in those sections where population is dense and
generally devoted to manufacturing. In other sections a considerable variation doubtless results, but there is no reason to
suppose that it materially affects the distinguishing characteristics
of urban and rural population as defined by census statistics.
Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the
state or county is classed as rural. In the New England States,
therefore, the rural population consists of the population outside
of towns and cities having 2,500 inhabitants or more.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910
with that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect
to the varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations 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 preceding census, it is necessary to classify the

HISTORICAL NOTE.—CORIleCtiCtIt derives its IMMO from that of the Connecticut
River, the pure Indian form of the name, Quinnitukut, meaning "long river."
The first European to visit the region now constituting Connecticut wasprobably
Adrian Block, a Dutch navigator, who in 1614 discovered and explored the Connecticut River. The English claimed it by virtue of the discoveries of the Cabots
of 1497 and more particularly of 1498. The present area of Connecticut was included in the grants conveyed by James I of England to the Plymouth Company
In 1606 and 1620.
•
In 1633 some English settlers from the Plymouth colony sailed up the Connecticut
River and erected a trading house on the present site of Windsor. They found that
the Dutch had already constructed a rude earthwork at a point where Hartford
now stands,a post which men of the nation named held for the next 20 years. The
first permanent settlements, however, were made during the period 1634-1636 at
Wethersfield, Windsor, and Hartford by the migration of a large majority of the
Inhabitants of three Massachusetts towns, Dorchester, Watertown,and Newtown,
who moved to Connecticut on account of their dissatisfaction with the theocratic
government of Massachusetts. A constitution for the government of these colonies
was approved by general vote of the people in 1639.
In July, 163.5, John Winthrop, jr., was made governor of the "River Connecticut." In 1635 a party of 20 men was sent out by Winthrop and took possession of
the region at the mouth of the Connecticut River. This tract, of between 60 and
80 square miles, which they called Saybrook, remained independent of the other
colonies until 1644, when it was sold to Connecticut by its agent, Col. Fenwick,
on his own authority.

New Haven was settled in 1638 by a group mainly composed of Londoners who
had the previous year come to Boston under the leadership of John Davenport.
In 1662 the colony of Connecticut obtained from the Bing a charter, which was
really a royal confirmation of the constitution of 1639. By this charter Connecticut
was defined as bounded on the north by Massachusetts and as extending from
Narragansett Bay to the Pacific Ocean. Accordingly the colony of New Haven,in
spite of its vehement opposition, was incorporated into the colony of Connecticut
With the exception of the brief period of the Andros regime, the charter of 1662
remained the fundamental law of the colony and later of the state until 1818, when
the present constitution was adopted. Boundary disputes with Rhode Island on
the east and New York on the west were finally adjusted by the adoption of what
are practically the present boundary lines, the former in 1727-28,the latter in 1683.
In 1786 Connecticut ceded to the Federal Government her claims to western lands
which were based on the charter of 1662, but the state was given title to the region
In northeastern Ohio known as the Western Reserve. In 1792 part of this tract was
devoted to the relief of persons burned out or plundered by the British; the rest
of it was sold—the last of it being disposed of in 1825.
Connecticut was one of the original thirteen states.
According to estimates and censuses taken prior to the first Federal census,in 1790,
the population of the colony of Connecticut at different dates was as follows: 1643
(estimate), 5,500; 1665 (estimate), 9,000; 1679 (estimate), 14,000; 1689 (estimate),
20,000; 1713 (estimate), 34,000; 1730 (estimate), 51,600; 1749 (estimate), 100,000;
1756 (census), 130,612; 1761 (census), 146,520; 1774 (census), 197,910; 1782 (census),

territory according to the conditions as they existed at each census.
In this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants
in 1900 and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population
for 1900 and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in
order to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as regards their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider
the changes in population for the same territory which have
occurred from one decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory which in 1910 was urban or rural, as the case may

be, is taken as the basis, and the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing effect on comparisons which
would arise from the passage, for example, of communities formerly
classed as rural into the urban group. These two distinct forms
of comparison are made in Table I of Chapter 2 for the state as a
whole and for each county separately for the last two censuses.

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION.
Population of the state.—The population of Connecticut is 1,114,756. Compared with a population
of 908,420 in 1900, this represents an increase during
the past decade of 206,336, or 22.7 per cent. During
the same period the total population of the United
States increased 21 per cent. The percentage of
increase for the state during this decade, though corn-

paratively small, is larger than that shown at any
census since 1860.
The following table shows the population of Connecticut at each census from 1790 to 1910, inclusive,
together with the increase and per cent of increase
during each decade, in comparison with the per cent
of increase for the United States as a whole.

This table shows that for the earlier decades the
rate of increase of the population of the state was slow.
During the 50 years from 1790 to 1840 the increase was
only 72.032, during the decade from 1840 to 1850 the
increase was 60,814, and since 1850 the increase has
been 743,964. The highest rate of increase, 24.1 per
cent, was during the decade from 1850 to 1860, and
the nearest approach to this has been the rate of increase for the last decade. The increase in population
during the last decade nearly equaled the total population of the state in 1790.
A comparison of the rates of increase for the state
with those for the United States, as given in the
preceding table, shows that the increase during each
decade up to 1890 was much less rapid for the state
than for the country as a whole. During the last
two decades the rate of increase for the state has
been slightly higher than that for the United States.
The population of the state in 1910 was almost
five times as large as in 1790, when the First Census
was taken, while the population of the United States
in 1910 was more than twenty-three times that in
1790.
In 1790 Connecticut contained 23.6 per cent of the
total population of New England, which was 1,009,408.

necticut decreased steadily until 1850, when it was
13.6 per cent. In 1910, after 60 years of more rapid
growth,Connecticut comprised 17 per cent of the population of New England, which was 6,552,681. In the
years that have elapsed since the First Census was
taken, the population of the New England States has
multiplied more than six times, while That of Connecticut has multiplied less than five times.
Principal. cities.—Connecticut has 18 cities. Seven
of the cities have a population of 25,000 inhabitants
or more. New Haven, the largest city, has a population of 133,605, while Bridgeport, the second city,
has a population of 102,054. Hartford and Waterbury are the only other cities in the state having over
50,000 inhabitants. There are three cities having
from 25,000 to 50,000, 6 from 10,000 to 25,000, and
5 from 5,000 to 10,000 inhabitants, respectively. The
aggregate population of the 18 cities was 642,054, or
57.6 per cent of the total population of the state.
Table 2 shows the population of all the cities of the
state with comparative figures, where possible, for 1900
and 1890. The table on page 569 sliows the population of the 10 largest cities in 1910, as reported at
each census since their incorporation as cities in so
far as figures are available, together with the increase
during each decade.

The 43 places having in 1910 either the city or the

incorporated since the census of 1900. The population in 1900 of the 39 cities and boroughs incorporated
prior to that year was 560,681, or 61.7 per cent of the
total population of the state. In 1910 the same
cities and boroughs had a population of 739,509, or
66.3 per cent of the total population of the state.
This represents an increase during the decade of

Towns of less than 2,500 inhabitants.

The population living in towns of 2,500 inhabitants
or more is here classified as urban; the number of said
towns is 72. More than one-half of the urban population in 1910 was in towns of 25,000 inhabitants or
more, these towns having a combined population of
540,752, or 48.5 per cent of the total population of the
state.
The urban territory of the state in 1910-that is, the
towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 999,839
inhabitants, or 89.7 per cent of the total population,
while 114,917 inhabitants, or 10.3 per cent, lived in
rural territory. The urban territory as it existed in
1900-that is, the towns then having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 792,595 inhabitants,or 87.2
per cent of the total population, while 115,825 inhabitants, or 12.8 per cent, lived in rural territory.
There has thus been a slight increase in the proportion
of urban population during the last decade. For the
United States as a whole the urban population constituted 46.3 per cent of the total population in 1910
and 40.5 per cent of the total population in 1900.
In 1890 no city or town in Connecticut had over
100,000 population. New Haven passed that limit
between 1890 and 1900, and Bridgeport between 1900
and 1910. As a result, the class, "towns of 100,000
or more," which was not represented in 1890, contained 21.1 per cent, or more than one-fifth, of the


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

total population of the state in 1910. The relative
importance of all classes below that limit has diminished since 1890.
Table I of Chapter2shows that in every county in the
state a larger proportion of the population lived in urban
territory in 1910 than in 1900. This table also indicates that in 1910 each county in the state had more
than one-half of its population living in urban territory as here defined. The largest proportions of urban
population are found in Fairfield, New Haven, and
Hartford Counties,in each of which at least 95 per cent
of the population lives in urban territory.
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 basis, and the
aggregate population in 1910 and 1900 of the same
places is then compared. Thus, as shown in the following table, the total population in 1910 of those
towns which at that time had 2,500 inhabitants or
more was 999,839; in 1900 the total population of
these same towns was 794,381. It may be noted that
the latter figure exceeds the total population in 1900 of
those towns which at that time had over 2,500 inhab-

itants each,792,595 (see table, p. 570), by 1,786. This
difference is due to two things: First, four towns having less than 2,500 inhabitants each in 1900, with a
combined population of 8,017, had more than 2,500
inhabitants each in 1910; and, second, two towns having more than 2,500 inhabitants each in 1900, with a
combined population of 6,231, had less than 2,500 inhabitants each in 1910.
The comparison of the total population in 1910 of
places having a population of not less than 2,500 each
with the total population of the same places in 1900,
as given in the next table, shows an increase of 25.9
per cent. This represents the rate of growth of urban
communities as thus defined. During the same period
the rural population, comprising that of the remainder
of the state, increased eight-tenths of 1 per cent.
Urban population thus increased much more rapidly
than rural. For the United States as a whole urban
population increased 34.9 per cent in the last decade
and rural population 11.2 per cent. As shown by
Table I of Chapter 2, there were three counties in
Connecticut in which the population living in rural
territory as here defined decreased and none in which
there was a decrease in urban population.
For the state as a whole population classified as
urban is still further distributed in the following table,


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

which shows,for 1910 and 1900, the combined population of the towns having in 1910, 100,000 inhabitants
or more, from 25,000 to 100,000, and from 2,500 to
25,000 inhabitants, respectively, and the population of
the remainder of the state.

As shown by this table the two groups composed of
the larger towns increased in population during the
last decade much more rapidly, and the group composed of towns of 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants increased
less rapidly, than the state as a whole, while the rural
population remained practically stationary.
It also appears from this table that of the total increase in the population of the state during the decade,
namely, 206,336, more than three-fifths was in towns
of over 25,000 inhabitants and somewhat more than
one-third in towns of 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants.

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.—The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of Connecticut by counties and
minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the
density of population, and the proportions urban and
rural, the present chapter deals with the composition
and characteristics of the population. The two chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes.
Description of the tables.—The greater part of this
chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage, sex, citizenship,
illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings and families, as follows: Table I for the state and counties;
Table II for towns of over 25,000 inhabitants; Table
III for towns of 10,000 to 25,000; Table IV for towns
of 2,500 to 10,000; and Table V for wards of cities of
50,000 or more.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 16) reproduces from the general tables the more important
state and • city totals, and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital
condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the statistics on each subject are shown according to race, and
for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign
born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage—that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign parentage—having both parents born abroad;
(3) native, mixed parentage—having one parent
native and the other foreign born; (4) foreign born.
As the second and third classes do not differ 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, it is
desirable that the two classes be distinguished in
presenting census data. The Bureau of the Census has
undertaken to do this by classifying as urban the population of all incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants
or more. In New England, however, where many


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

villages of considerable size are not separately incorporated, it was deemed best to classify also towns of
2,500 inhabitants or more as urban, although this
classification is not very satisfactory because such
towns generally include more or less population that
is essentially rural.
The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time between September 1,1909,and the date of enumeration,April 15,1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person
10 years of age or over who is unable to write,
regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).—Of the total population of Connecticut, 395,649, or 35.5 per cent, are
native whites of native parentage; 374,489, or 33.6 per
cent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage;
328,759, or 29.5 per cent, are foreign-born whites; and
15,174, or 1.4 per cent, are negroes. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 41, 31.1, 26.1, and 1.7,
respectively, the proportion of native whites of native
parentage having decreased during the decade. In each
county of the state the foreign-born whites constitute
a considerable proportion (from 24.5 to 31.7 per cent)
of the population, and in each the percentage of native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage exceeds that of
foreign-born whites. (See maps on page 597.)
Of the urban population, 33.1 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural,56.4 percent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of
foreign or mixed parentage are 34.9 and 22.3 per cent,
respectively. The percentage of foreign-born whites
is 30.6 in the urban population and 20.1 in the rural.
Sex (Tables 2 and 12).—In the total population of
the state there are 563,642 males and 551,114 females,
or 102.3 males to 100 females. In 1900 the population
was about equally divided between the sexes. Among
native whites the ratio is 96.8,and among foreign-born
whites 116.7, to 100. In the urban population there
are 101.7 males to 100 females, and in the rural, 107.8.
State of birth (Tables 3 and 4).—Of the native population—thatis, population born in the United States
77.3 per cent were born in Connecticut and 22.7 per
cent outside the state; of the native white population,
22.1 per cent were born outside the state; and of the
native negro, 50.7 per cent. Persons born outside the
state constitute approximately the same proportion of
the native population in urban as in rural communities.

-The total number of males 21 years of age and over is 347,692, representing 31.2 per cent of the population. Of such
males, 34.4 per cent are native whites of native parentage, 20 per cent native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage,44.1 per cent foreign-born whites,and 1.4 per
cent negroes. Of the 153,168 foreign-born white males
of voting age,60,608, or 39.6 per cent, are naturalized.
Males of militia age-18 to 44-number 257,996.
Age (Tables 7, 8, and 14).
-Of the total population,
10.1 per cent are under 5 years of age, 17.6 per cent
from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 18.8 per cent from 15
to 24, 31.7 per cent from 25 to 44, and 21.6 per cent
45 years of age and over. The foreign-born white
population comprises comparatively few children, only
5.9 per cent of this class being under 15 years of age,
while 75 per cent are 25 years of age and over. Of
the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 32.3
per cent are 25 and over and of the native whites of
native parentage, 55.2 per cent.
Of the urban population, 47 per cent are under 25
years of age,32.2 per cent from 25 to 44, and 20.7 per
cent 45 and over. The corresponding percentages for
the rural are 42.2, 27.4, and 30, respectively, thus
showing that the proportion under 45 is smaller in the
rural population, while the proportion of older people
is larger.
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
-that is, from 6 to 20 years, inpersons of school age
clusive-is 298,454, of whom 192,497, or 64.5 per cent,
attended school. In addition to these, 11,492 persons
under 6 and 2,966 of 21 and over attended school.
For boys and for girls from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 64.5. For
children from 6 to 14 years, inclusive, the percentage
attending school was 92.3. The percentage for children of this age was the same (92.6) among native
whites of native parentage and native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage, and it was slightly lower for
foreign-born whites (89.2). (See Table I.) There is
little difference between urban and rural communities
as regards school attendance, although the percentage
in school for children from 6 to 14 is slightly higher in
the urban, and for those from 15 to 20 slightly higher
in the rural.
Illiteracy (Table 10).-There are 53,665 illiterates
in the state, representing 6 per cent of the total popu-

lation 10 years of age and over, as compared with 5.9
for 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is 15.4 among
foreign-born whites,6.3 among negroes, and 0.6 among
native whites.
For all classes combined, the percentage illiterate
in urban communities (6)is somewhat higher than that
in rural communities (5.2), although for each class
separately the percentage is higher in the rural.
For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive,
whose literacy depends largely upon present school
facilities and school attendance, the percentage of illiteracy is only 2.2. (See Table I.)
Marital condition (Tables 11 and 15).
-In the population 15 years of age and over, 39.3 per cent of the
males are single, and 33.6 per cent of the females.
The percentage married is 55.3 for males and 54.6 for
females, and the percentage widowed 4.8 and 11.2,
respectively. The percentages of those reported as
divorced, 0.3 and 0.4, respectively, are believed to be
too small, because of the probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is smaller for women
than for men is due largely to the fact that women marry
younger. Thus 5.7 per cent of the females from 15
to 19 years of age are married, as compared with 0.5
per cent of the males, and 39.6 per cent of the females
from 20 to 24 years are married, as compared with
18.5 per cent of the males. In the next age group,
25 to 34 years, the difference is not so great, the
percentages being 68.9 for females and 59.8 for males,
while in the age group 35 to 44 the difference practically disappears. That there is a larger proportion
of widows than of widowers may indicate that men
more often remarry than women, but, since husbands
are generally older than their wives, the marriage relationship is more often broken by death of the husband than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the percentages of married persons among those 15 years of age
and over are as follows: Foreign-born whites, 63.2 for
males and 66.2.for females; native whites of native
parentage, 56.7 and 51.8, respectively; native whites
of foreign or mixed parentage, 39.4 and 42.9, respectively; negroes, 56.5 for males and 51.1 for females.
These percentages by no means indicate the relative
tendency of the several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that, the comparison should be made by
age periods, since the proportion married in any class
is determined largely by the proportion who have
reached the marrying age. Similarly, the proportion
widowed depends largely on the proportion past middle
life. The percentage married for females is slightly
higher in rural than in urban communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of dwellings in Connecticut is 181,911, and the total number of
families 246,659,there being 135.6 families to each 100
dwellings. (See Table I.) The average number of
persons per dwelling is 6.1, and the average number
perfamily, 4.5.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
Connecticut ranks forty-sixth in area and thirty-first
in population among the states and territories of continental United States. The greater part of the state
of Connecticut consists of rolling to mountainous
highlands, interspersed by innumerable small valleys,
and bordered toward the coast line by a low-rolling
plateau. The eastern highland portion of the state
is more gently rolling than the western highland,
which near the New York state line attains to
mountainous altitudes and possesses rugged topography. The two principal highland portions of the
state are separated by the Connecticut Basin, occupied in part by the Connecticut River, which flows
across the eastern margin of this basin and through the
eastern highland to the sea. The basin itself is in
general nearly level, although it is broken by mountainous ridges constituting the southern extension of
the Holyoke Range.
Practically all of the soils of the state of Connecticut
are derived either directly or indirectly through the
glaciation of the numerous varieties of underlying
rock. The highland portions of the state have been
chiefly swept bare of the finer soil-forming material at
all of the higher altitudes and upon the more precipitous slopes. The lower slopes and the more gently
rolling portions of the highlands are deeply covered
with complex glacial debris known as the till. This
gives rise chiefly to stony sandy barns and stony
barns, with smaller areas of heavier loam.
Within the Connecticut Basin and in all of the
smaller valleys found within both portions of the

highland there have been deposited gravels, sands,
sandy barns, and clays at the time of the recession of
the glacial ice. These more level portions of the
state constitute some of the best agricultural lands
within its borders. Upon the sandy barns and the
loamy soils the tobacco industry,the market gardening,
and a considerable part of the fruit industry of the
state are carried on. The upland soils are principally
used for grazing and the production of grass and corn.
Extensive areas are too steep in slope or too rocky
for any other occupation than that of forestry or
pasturage. The growing horticultural interests of the
state are located chiefly upon the deeper areas of the
glacial barns in the highland portion of the state.
The two maps on the opposite page show by counties
the proportion of the total land area which is in farms
and the average value of farm land per acre. Over
two-thirds (70.9 per cent) of the state's total land area
is in farms. The first map shows that in each county
of the state from 60 to 80 per cent of all land is in
farms. New London County shows the highest proportion, 75.5 per cent, of land in farms, while Middlesex County shows the smallest proportion, 63.4
per cent. The four northern counties show higher
proportions of farm land than do the southern counties, New London excepted.
Progress during the decade 1900 to 1910.
-The following table summarizes for the state the more significant facts relating to population and land area, the
number, value, and acreage of farms, and the value
of all other farm property in 1910 and 1900:

decrease during the past 30 years. From 1900 to 1910
the number of farms decreased only 133, or 0.5 per
cent.
The land surface of Connecticut is approximately
3,084,800 acres in extent. Of this area, 2,185,788
acres, or 70.9 per cent, are included in farms. Of the
farm acreage, 988,252 acres, or 45.2 per cent, are
reported as improved land, representing 32 per cent
of the total land area of the state. The total acreage
of farm land decreased 5.5 per cent during the past
decade and 8.3 per cent during the past 60 years. The
reported acreage of improved land shows a greater
relative decrease from 1900 to 1910 than does the
total acreage in farms. The acreage of farm land
which is improved was in 1910 about 76,000 acres less
than it was 10 years ago.
The foregoing table shows also that both the total
farm acreage and the acreage of improved land are
smaller in 1910 than in any of the preceding years.
The farm acreage has increased and decreased alternately during the successive decades since 1850, while
the acreage of improved land increased during the
decade ending in 1860, but has decreased continuously
since that time. Of all farm land, the percentage
which was improved has decreased continuously since
1850. The slightest change, however, was during the
past decade, while the greatest change was during the
decade between 1890 and 1900. The decrease doubtless represents a change in the classification of land by
many farmers who now report as "unimproved land"
some acreage which they formerly called "improved."
Values of farm property: 1850 to 1910.
-The agricultural changes in Connecticut since 1850, as reflected
in the values of the several classes of farm property,

in the central part of the state, show an average value
for farm land of from $25 to $50 per acre.
During the last 10 years there was an increase in
the population of the state of 206,336, or 22.7 per
cent, while there was a decrease of 133, or 0.5 per cent,
in the number of farms, and of 126,295 acres, or 5.5
per cent, in farm land. The relative decrease in number of farms was much less than that in the acreage
of farm land, and the average size of farms decreased
4.3 acres.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings,
implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic
animals, poultry, and bees), has increased in value
during the decade about $46,000,000, or 40.7 per cent.
This great increase is chiefly made up of increases of
nearly $20,000,000 in the value of land and of about
$21,000,000 in the value of buildings. There is also
an increase of $5,200,000 in the value of farm equipment, including implements and machinery and live
stock, of which over three-fifths represents a gain in
the value of live stock. In considering the increase
of values in agriculture the general increase in the
prices of all commodities in the last 10 years should
be borne in mind.
The average value of a farm with its equipment in
1900 was $4,205, while 10 years later it was $5,944.
The average value of land alone rose from $22.68 per
acre in 1900 to $33.03 in 1910, this advance being
accompanied by increases in the average value per
farm of implements and machinery and of live stock.
Population, number of farms, and farm acreage: 1850
to 1910.
-The table following presents, for the state
as a whole for each census from 1850 to 1910, inclusive,
a statement of the total population, the number of
farms, and the acreage of farm land and of improved
land in farms. It also gives the percentage of the land
area in farms, the percentage of farm land improved,
and the percentage of increase during each decade in
the number of farms and in the land in farms.

In the 60 years since 1850 the population of the
state has increased from 370,792 to 1,114,756, or a
little more than trebled.
There was a continuous increase in the number of
farms between 1850 and 1880, followed by a net

sented by land and buildings, 4.3 per cent by implements and machinery, and 8.9 per cent by live stock.
The gain (40.7 per cent) in the total value of farm
property from 1900 to 1910 is a much greater relative
increase than has taken place in any earlier decade,

while the actual amount of the gain ($46,094,191) is
more than twice as great as the increase reported for
any other decade and contrasts particularly with the
large decrease from 1880 to 1890-a decrease which was
shared by all three of the specified classes of property.
The percentage increase in value of implements and
machinery from 1900 to 1910, however, was less than
from 1890 to 1900.

the past 60 years in the average acreage of Connecticut
farms and in the average values of the various classes
of farm property, as well as in the average value per
acre of land and buildings, are shown in the following
table:

In the last decade,however,the movement was reversed,
and tenancy is a little less frequent in 1910 than in 1880.
Throughout the 30-year period share tenancy has
decreased, while cash tenancy, which increased between 1880 and 1900, decreased since that time.
"Cash tenants" here include "nonspecified" and
"share tenants" include "share-cash." In 1890 cash
tenancy was more than twice as frequent and in 1910
about seven times as frequent as share tenancy.
During the past decade the number of farms operated
by share tenants decreased 374 and those operated
by cash tenants decreased 461. Cash tenancy represents 8.6 per cent of all the farms, while share tenancy
represents 1.2 percent.

being higher and that for tenants lower than in 1900.
As shown by the next table, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (144 acres) was
much greater than that of tenant farms (82.6 acres),
which was in turn somewhat larger than that of farms
operated by owners (78.8 acres). The average size of
farms operated by managers increased between 1900
and 1910, while that of farms operated by owners
and by tenants decreased. In 1910 the percentage of
farm land improved was slightly higher for tenant
farms than for farms operated by owners or those
operated by managers.

Farm mortgages: 1890 to 1910.
-The Eleventh
Census (1890) was the first to collect data relating to
mortgage debt on farms. The basis of the returns was
the "farm home" occupied by its owner. The same
class of information was secured by the population
schedules of the Twelfth Census (1900). The agricultural schedules of the Thirteenth Census (1910)
secured practically the same information, except that
the basis was "owned farms" instead of "owned farm
homes "-a difference involving, however, no appreciable incomparability.
The following table relates to farms operated by
persons owning all or part of the land, and shows for
1910 (1) the number of such farms reported as free
from mortgage; (2) the number reported as mortgaged; and (3) the number for which no mortgage
reports were secured. Comparable items are included
for 1900 and 1890.

9,958 were reported as mortgaged; and for 196 no
report relative to mortgage indebtedness was obtained.
The number of mortgaged farms constituted 43.2 per
cent of the total number of owned farms, exclusive
of those for which no mortgage report was obtained.
The percentage is only slightly greater than it was in
1900 and considerably greater than it was in 1890.
It may be noted that the percentages given for the
three censuses are comparable, but that the number
of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms reported in
1890 is not entirely comparable with the numbers
reported at the later censuses, because at the census
of 1890 the farms for which no reports were secured
were distributed between the two classes of mortgaged
and unmortgaged farms. It can be seen, however,
that from 1890 to 1910 the number of mortgaged
farms increased much more than the number free of
mortgage decreased.
The statement of mortgage debt and of the value of
mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms of
those farmers who own all of their land and report the
amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. Of the
9,958 farms reported as mortgaged, 9,439 are wholly
owned by the farmers, and for 9,062 of these the
amount of mortgage debt is reported. Only these
last-mentioned farms are included for 1910 in the
next table, which presents data relating to mortgaged
farms for 1910 and 1890. In this connection it should
be noted that in 1890 the amount of mortgage debt of
farms with incomplete reports was estimated according to the percentages and averages obtained from
farms with full reports,but that no such estimate is here
made for 1910. The table gives a comparative statement of the value of mortgaged farms owned entirely
by their operators and the amount of indebtedness,
together with the average value of such farms, the
average debt per farm, and the average equity per
farm for 1910 and 1890. Data regarding the amount
of mortgage debt were not obtained in 1900.

Farms by size groups: 1910 and 1900.
-The largest
number of Connecticut farms is found in the "50
to 99 acres" group, which comprises nearly a quarter
of all the farms. The two groups on either side,
namely, the "20 to 49 acres" group with 23.5 per
cent of the farms, and the "100 to 174 acres" group,
with 18.6 per cent, are, in the order named, next in
importance. Together the three groups comprise
about two-thirds of all the farms. The changes during the last decade have been in the direction of increases in the relative number of smaller farms at the
expense of the relative number of larger ones. The
percentages of farms in every size group under 49
acres, except that "under 3 acres," have increased,
and the percentages of farms in every group over 50
acres, excvt the comparatively few farms in the
groups over 500 acres, have decreased during the
decade.
The decrease in the number of places under 3 acres"
reported as farms may be due to a different interpretation by the enumerators as to what to include as
a small farm, or may represent an actual decrease
in that type of farm.

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 29 per
cent was in farms of 100 to 174 acres, and 29.7 per
cent in farms of 175 to 499 acres, these two being from
the standpoint of aggregate acreage the most important size groups. Between 1900 and 1910 the proportion of the total acreage which was in farms of less
than 100 acres, as well as the proportion in farms of
500 acres or more, increased, while the proportion in
farms of from 100 to 499 acres decreased.
As shown by the next 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 also
diminishes with the increase in the size of the farms;
it is very much higher for the farms under 20 acres in
size than for those of any other group. Many of the
small farms in Connecticut are practically places of
residence of wealthy persons, with expensive buildings,
and many others are highly improved truck farms.

Color and nativity of farmers: 1910.-Prior to the
Thirteenth Census no attempt was made to secure
information on the farm schedules concerning the
nativity of farmers.
Three out of every 4 Connecticut farmers were native
whites and 1 out of 4 was a foreign-born white. Only
113, or 0.4 per cent of all farmers, were nonwhites, 105
being negroes and 8 being Indians. Of the native
whites, 10 per cent were tenants, as compared with

606

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

9.2 per cent among foreign-born whites and 19.5 per
cent among the nonwhite farmers.
Of the 6,861 foreign-born white farmers in Connecticut in 1910, 1,538 were born in Germany; 1,164 in
Ireland; 676 in Russia; 675 in Sweden; 551 in England; 544 in Austria; 396 in Canada; 319 in Italy; and
191 in Hungary. Other European countries were
represented by a total of 778 farmers, and nonEuropean countries, other than Canada, by 29.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS, POULTRY, AND BEV.
Domestic animals on farms: 1910.
-The census of
1910 was taken as of April 15, and that of 1900 as of
June 1. Since a great many domestic animals are
born during the six weeks between April 15 and June
1, and on the other hand a considerable number of
older animals are slaughtered or die during the same
period, the numbers of the different classes of animals
for the two censuses are not closely comparable, and
the same is true in somewhat less degree of the values.
For this reason the figures for 1900 are not presented
in this chapter, but in the general census reports
the figures for the several states will be presented.
The total value of live stock on farms, including
domestic animals, poultry, and bees, in 1910 was
$14,164,000, of which domestic animals contributed
$13,133,000. The value of cattle represented 47.5 per
cent of the total value of live stock; that of horses and
mules, 41 per cent; that of swine, 3.3 per cent; that
of sheep and lambs, 0.8 per cent, and that of poultry,
7 per cent, the other classes being insignificant.
Of all the farms in the state, 79.5 per cent report
cattle, 77.7 per cent report "dairy cows," and only
18.8 per cent "other cows." Only 471 farms have
cattle without having dairy cows. The number of all
cows increased somewhat during the decade, and the
average value of dairy cows increased from $33.71 to
$41.60, while that of other cows decreased from $26.26
to $25.71. The farms reporting dairy cows show an
average of nearly 6 per farm.
The census of 1900 was taken as of June 1, after all
the spring calves were born, while that of 1910 was
taken as of April 15, before the close of the calving
season and when the calves on hand were on the
average younger than at the enumeration of 1900.
As a result, the calves enumerated were fewer in number and of lower average value in 1910 than in 1900,
the number decreasing from 37,300 to 20,601, and the
average value decreasing from $7.86 to $6.52.
Horses are reported by 78.2 per cent of all the
farms in the state,but only 2 per cent report colts born
in 1909, and 0.3 per cent report spring colts. The
average value of mature horses is reported at $124.62.
Less than one farm out of every hundred reports
mules. No mule colts born in the spring 01 1910 are
reported. The average value of mature mules is
considerably higher than that of horses.

Sheep and lambs are reported from 741, or only 2.8
per cent, of all the farms in the state. Of these 741
farms, 535 report spring lambs and 692 report ewes,
the latter averaging over 18 per farm reporting.
Of all farms, 33 per cent report swine, the average
number being nearly 6 per farm reporting. The average value of the swine reported as "hogs and pigs
born before January 1, 1910," is $12.26, while that of
spring pigs is more than one-third as much.
Tile following table summarizes the statistics of
domestic animals on farms for the state, recorded as
of April 15, 1910. Cattle and sheep are divided into

The total value of all domestic animals in the state in
1910 was $19,757,000, of which the value of animals not
on farms represented 33.5 per cent, this comparatively
high proportion being attributable to the urban
character of a considerable portion of the population
of Connecticut. The number of horses not on farms.
was more than three-quarters of the number on
farms, but in the case of other classes of animals the
proportion not on farms was much lower.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.
The returns for live stock products obtained 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, dupli-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

cation would result from the fact that part of the crops
are fed to the live stock.
Dairy products: 1909 and 1899.-The number
of farms reporting dairy cows on April 15, 1910,
was 20,844, but only 17,812 reported dairy products in 1909. That there should be this difference
is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers 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

608

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

the principal crops. This is particularly the case
as regards the quantity of milk produced. The
number of farms which made any report of milk
produced during 1909 was 15,324 (materially less than
the total number reporting dairy products), and the
number of dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910,
was 93,874. The amount of milk reported was
45,750,000 gallons; assuming that there were the same
number of cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 487 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.
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,
cream, and butter fat sold and the reported value of
butter and cheese made, whether for home consumption or for sale. The total thus obtained for 1909 is
$7,669,000, which may be defined as the total value
of dairy products exclusive of milk and cream used
on the farm producing.
About three-fourths of the milk produced in Connecticut in 1909 was sold as such. A comparatively large
quantity of milk and cream was sold on the butter fat
basis. The butter made on farms in 1909 was valued
at $1,078,000.
The following table shows the principal statistics
relative to dairy products in 1909, with certain comparative statistics for 1899:

Comparisons are made between 1909 and 1899 for
but few of the census items relating to dairy products,
for the reason that in 1899 estimates were made for
farms with incomplete reports, which was not done at
the census of 1910. The figures for milk produced


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

and milk sold are particularly affected, but those for
butter and cheese are approximately comparable.
The table shows a material decrease between 1899
and 1909 in the amount of butter made, while the
production of cheese shows a decided increase.

The total number of sheep of shearing age in Connecticut on April 15, 1910, was 14,043, representing a
decrease of 39 per cent as compared with the number
on June 1, 1900 (23,021). The approximate production of wool during 1909 was 13,460 fleeces, weighing
71,272 pounds, and valued at $18,530. Of these totals
about one-fifth represents estimates. The number of
fleeces produced in 1909 was 42.3 per cent less than
in 1899. The average weight per fleece in
1909 was 5.3
pounds, as compared with 4.5 pounds in 1899, and
the average value per pound was 26 cents, as compare
d
with 22 cents in 1899.
Goat hair and mohair: 1.909.-Although 98 farmers
reported 500 goats and kids on their farms April 15,
1910, only 12 farmers reported the production of
goat hair or mohair during 1909. These farmers reported 316 fleeces, weighing 1,009 pounds and valued
at $231.
Poultry products: 1909 and 1899.
-The next statement gives data relative to the production and sale
of eggs and poultry.
The total number of fowls on Connecticut farms on
April 15, 1910, was 1,266,000. Of the 23,214 farms

that in
many cases enumerators, having found that a farm had no sheep in

missed more or less wool actually produced. It is a fairly thus

raised in 1909. The production of eggs actually reported for the year 1909 was 7,883,000 dozens, valued
at $2,279,000. According to the Twelfth Census reports, the production of eggs in 1899 was 7,959,000
dozens, the value being $1,523,000. The latter figures, however, are somewhat in excess of the actual
returns at that census, because they include estimates
made to cover those cases where the schedules reported fowls on hand without reporting the production of eggs. In order to make the returns for 1909
comparable with those published for 1899 similar estimates have been made, the method of estimate and the
justification therefor being substantially the same as in
the case of wool. The total production of eggs in 1909,
including these estimates, was 8,566,000 dozens, valued
at $2,476,000. The total production of poultry in
1909, including estimates made on the same basis as
for eggs, was 2,046,000 fowls, valued at $1,375,000.

Honey and wax: 1909.
1,798 farms reported 9,445 colonies of bees on hand
April 15, 1910, 677 of these farms, with 1,914 colonies
on hand April 15, 1910, made no report of honey or
wax produced in 1909. The actual returns show the
production of 145,722 pounds of honey, valued at
$25,558, and 1,096 pounds of wax, valued at $355; the
true totals are doubtless somewhat above these figures.

The total value of domestic animals sold during
1909 was $2,688,000 and that of animals slaughtered
on farms $753,000, making an aggregate of $3,441,000.
This total, however, involves considerable duplication, resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals
which had been purchased by the farmers during the
same year. The value of the cattle (including calves)
sold during 1909 represented about 80 per cent of
the total value of animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the receipts from the
sale of all domestic animals raised on the farms seporting and the total value of those slaughtered during
1899, which amounted, respectively, to $1,169,000 and
$845,000. The item of sales is not closely comparable
with that for 1909, when the inquiry covered all sales,
whether of animals raised on the farms reporting or
elsewhere. It is believed, however,that in many cases
the returns for 1899 also included receipts from sales
of animals not actually raised on the farms reporting.

Summary: 1909 and 1899.
-The next table summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing
one year with the other it should be borne in mind that
acreage is on the whole a better index of the general
changes or tendencies of agriculture than either the
quantity or the value of the crops, since variations in

quantity may be due largely to temporarily favorable
or unfavorable climatic conditions, and variations in
the value of the crops are largely affected by changes
in prices. (See also discussion of "Total value of
farm products.")
The total value of crops in 1909 was $22,488,000.
Of this amount 85.2 per cent was contributed by
crops for which the acreage as well as the value was
reported, the remainder consisting of the value of

by-products (straw, garden and grass seeds, etc.) derived from the same land as other crops reported, or
of orchard fruits, nuts, forest products, and the like.
The combined acreage of crops for which acreage was
reported was 534,846, representing 54.1 per cent of

the total improved land in farms (988,252 acres).
Most of the remaining improved land doubtless consisted of improved pasture, land lying fallow, house
and farm yards, and land occupied by orchards and
vineyards, the acreage for which was not reported.

The general character of Connecticut agriculture is
indicated by the fact that only 9.1 per cent of the total
value of crops in 1909 was contributed by the cereals,
while nearly one-third (32.1 per cent) was contributed
by hay and forage, nearly one-fifth (19.6 per cent) by
tobacco, and about one-sixth (17.1 per cent) by potatoes and other vegetables. The remainder, representing in value about 22 per cent of the total, consisted
mostly of forest products, fruits and nuts, flowers and
plants, and nursery products.
The total value of crops in 1909 was 35.3 per cent
greater than that in 1899, this increase being due in
large measure to higher prices. There was a decrease
of 11.4 per cent in the total acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported, this being due largely to a decrease in the acreage of hay and forage.
Genera/ farm crops, minor grains and seeds, and
sundry minor crops: 1879 to 1909.
-The table presents
statistics for 1909 regarding cereals, other grains and
seeds, hay and forage, potatoes, tobacco, and sundry
minor crops.
The leading crops covered by the table, in the order
of their importance as judged by value, are hay and
forage, $7,225,000; tobacco, $4,416,000; potatoes,
$1,882,000; and corn, $1,694,000. It should be
noted, however, that vegetables (other than potatoes
and sweet potatoes and yams), statistics for which are
reported in another table,are more importantthan corn.
By far the most important crop of the state in
acreage and value is hay and forage, it being almost
eight times as great in extent as corn, the second
crop in acreage, and valued at more than 60 per cent
above tobacco, the second crop in value. Potatoes,

Grapes

Strawberries were by far the most important of the
small fruits grown in Connecticut, with raspberries and
loganberries ranking next. The total acreage of small
fruits in 1909 was 1,597 and in 1899, 1,987, a decrease
of 19.6 per cent. The production in 1909 was 3,824,000
quarts, as compared with 3,839,000 quarts in 1899, and
the value $317,000, as compared with $278,000.
Orchard fruits, grapes, and nuts: 1909 and 1899.
-The
next table presents data with regard to orchard
fruits, grapes, and nuts. The acreage devoted to these
products was not ascertained. In comparing one ycar
with the other the number of trees or vines of bearing
age is on the whole a better index of the general
changes or tendencies than the quantity of product,
but the data for the censuses of 1910 and 1900 are
not closely comparable, and the product is therefore
compared, although variations may be due largely
to temporarily favorable or unfavorable climatic
conditions.
The total quantity of orchard fruits produced in
1909 was 1,874,000 bushels, valued at $1,327,000.
Apples contributed more than four-fifths of this quantity, peaches and nectarines and pears most of the
remainder. The production of grapes and nuts was
relatively unimportant. The nuts consisted chiefly of
hickory nuts, black walnuts, butternuts, and chestnuts.
The production of all orchard fruits in 1909 was
51.2 per cent less in quantity than in 1899, and grapes
also showed a decrease. The value of orchard fruits
, increased from $1,011,000 in 1899 to $1,327,000 in
1909, and that of grapes from $43,112 in 1899 to
$43,523 in 1909. It should be noted in this connection that the values for 1899 include the value of more
advanced products derived from orchard fruits or

grapes, such as cider, vinegar, dried fruits, and the
like, and may therefore involve some duplication,
while the values shown for 1909 relate only to the
products in their original condition.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
Forest products: 1909 and 1899.—The census schedules for 1910 called for the "value of all firewood,
fencing material, logs, railroad ties, telegraph and telephone poles, materials for barrels, bark, naval stores,
or other forest products cut or produced in 1909,
"
whether used on farm, sold, or on hand April 15,1910;
and also, in a separate item, for the "amount received
from sale of standing timber in 1909." There were
15,378 farms in Connecticut (57.3 per cent of all farms
in the state) which reported forest products in 1909,
the total value of such products being $1,861,853, as
compared with $1,275,720 in 1899, an increase of 45.9
per cent. Of the value in 1909, $743,211 was reported
as that of products used or to be used on the farms
themselves, $781.723 as that of products sold or for

sale, and $336,919 as the amount received for standing
timber. It should be noted that forest products not
produced on farms are not included in this report.
Miscellaneous crops: 1909.—Straw and cornstalks
derived as by-products from the production of grain
and corn have a considerable value for feed and other
purposes. They are, however, mainly consumed on
the farms producing them. The Census Bureau made
no attempt to ascertain the total quantity or value of
these products, but the schedules called for the quantity and value of those sold during the year 1909. The
returns show that 640 farmers in Connecticut sold,
during 1909, 1,824 tons of straw, for which they
received $28,449 and that 328 farmers sold 1,267 tons
of cornstalks and leaves,for which they received $8,807.

SELECTED FARM EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS.
Farm expenses: 1909 and 1899.—The following table
shows the number of farms reporting expenditures
for labor, feed, and fertilizer at the census of 1910, as
well as the sums expended in 1909 and 1899:

increase-81.2 per cent—since 1899 in the total
amount reported as paid for fertilizer, the average for
those reporting being $125 per farm.
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 sales, as well
as of the production of the more important feedable
crops (that is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock). The
following table summarizes the data reported:

1 Not reported at the census of 1900.

Over two-thirds of the farmers in Connecticut hire
labor, and the average amount expended by those
hiring is $383. About one-fifth of the amount expended for labor is in the form of rent and board,
and the total amount expended is more than one and
two-thirds times as great as that reported in 1900.
At prior censuses no tabulation was made of the number of farmers reporting expenditures for labor.

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of Connecticut for the
calendar year 1909 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient foim for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership,size of establishments, number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of 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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries (1) for the state as a
whole and (2) for the cities of Bridgeport, Hartford,
New Haven, and Waterbury. It also gives the same
items for all industries combined for every city and
borough having in 1910 a population of over 10,000
but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for Bridgeport, Hartford, New Haven, and Waterbury for all
industries combined and for selected industries, and
for each city having from 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants
for all industries combined.
Scope of census: Factory 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 purposes, 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 purporting to show
average
cost of production, or profits. These limitations
Wages'
e fully discussed in the general report on manufactures for the
United States as a whole.
The census of 1909, like that of
1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory
system, as


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries. Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced
to a comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 accounts 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 not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899, the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4) clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups: (1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
(619)

620

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and
managers, and clerks. In the present census an entirely different
grouping is employed: that into (1) proprietors and officials, (2)
clerks, and (3) wage earners. The first group includes proprietors
and firm members, salaried officers of corporations, and superintendents and managers.
At this census the number of persons engaged in the industries,
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 canning, 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 of wage earners the average is
obtained in the manner explained in the next paragraph.
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. From these figures
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 perform 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 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.
In particular, totals by sex and age for the wage earners reported
for the representative day would be misleading because of the
undue weight given to seasonal industries, in some of which, such
as canning and preserving, the distribution of the wage earners by
sex and age is materially different from that in most industries of
more regular operation. In order to determine as nearly as possible
the sex and age distribution of the average number of wage earners
in the state as a whole, the following procedure has been adopted:
The percentage distribution by sex and age of the wage earners in
each industry, for December 15tor the nearest representative day,
has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that
date. This percentage has been applied to the average number of
wage earners for the year in that industry, to determine the average
number of men, women, and children employed. These calculated averages for the several industries have been added up to
give the average distribution for the state as a whole.
In 1899 and 1904 the schedule called for the average number of
wage earners of each sex 16 years and over, and the total number
under 16 years of age, for each month, and these monthly statements were combined in an annual average. Comparatively few
manufacturing concerns, however, keep their books in such way
as to show readily the number of men, women, and children (under
16) employed each month. These monthly returns by sex and
age were, in fact, largely estimates. It was believed that a more
accurate and reliable sex and age distribution could be secured by
taking as a basis of estimate the actual numbers employed on a
single day.

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 establishment from 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 earners 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 figured; 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:
The 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 taken at the amounts
carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact
should be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or
buildings is owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should
be so stated and only the value of the owned property given. Do
not include securities and loans representing investments in other
enterprises.
Materials.—Cost of materials refers to the materials used during
the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased
during the year. The term materials 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, or power, or for the process of manufacture.
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, and allowances for depreciation.
Value of products..
--The 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 during 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 manufacture.—The 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 is 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 different classes of industry is the value created as the result
of the manufacturing 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 obtained
is termed in the census reports "value added by manufacture."
There 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
created. No such duplication takes place in the total "value
added by manufacture."
Cost of manufacture and proflts.—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 prop6rly be calculated, because
of the very defective character of the returns regarding capital.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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 such 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 consideration should be given to the fact
that often establishments are located just outside the boundaries
of cities, and are so classified, though locally they are looked upon
as constituting a part of the manufacturing interests of the cities.

621

Laundries.—The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using
mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are
not included in the general total for manufacturing industries,
in order to avoid interference with comparisons with prior
censuses.
Custom sawmills and gristmills.—In order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those for 1904, the data for these mills have
been excluded from all the tables presenting general statistics, and
are given in a separate table at the end of this chapter.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.—Connecticut, with
a gross area of 4,965 square miles, of which 145 represent water surface, is one of the smallest of the states
and territories of continental United States—only two
states, Delaware and Rhode Island, having a less area.
Its population in 1910 was 1,114,756, as compared with
908,420 in 1900 and 746,258 in 1890. In 1910 the
density of population for the state was 231.3 per square
mile, the corresponding figure for 1900 being 188.5.
Only three states had a greater average number of
inhabitants per square mile. It ranked thirty-first
among the 49 states and territories as regards population in 1910 and twenty-ninth in 1900. Eighty-nine
and seven-tenths per cent of the entire population of
the state resided in places having a population of 2,500
inhabitants or over, as against 87.2 per cent in 1900.
The state has four cities having a population of over
50,000—Bridgeport,Hartford, New Haven,and Waterbury. There are also 11 cities and boroughs having a population of over 10,000 but less than 50,000—
Ansonia, Danbury, Meriden, Middletown, Naugatuck,
New Britain, New London, Norwich, Stamford, Torrington,and Willimantic. These 15 cities and boroughs
contained 56.6 per cent of the total population of the
state and were credited with 68.2 per cent of the total
value of its manufactures. Apart from the cities and
boroughs named, 33.1 per cent of the population of
the state resided in places of 2,500 inhabitants or over.
The prominence of Connecticut as a manufacturing
state is due to several causes, chief of which are the
early establishment of a number of important industries in the state and the unusually large amount of
capital available for investment in manufacturing
industries. Additional causes are the comparatively
abundant water power in the state and its geographic
location near New York City, with which many of
the manufacturing centers of Connecticut have direct
water transportation facilities.
Bridgeport, New
Haven, and New London are seaports of considerable
prominence, and afford ample opportunities for
domestic coastwise commerce. In addition, the main
line of the most important railroad system in New
England traverses Connecticut and gives direct and
adequate connection with all parts of the country.

Importance and growth of manufactures.—Connecticut is preeminently a manufacturing state, and the
growth and concentration of its population have
been closely related to the increase in the importance
of its manufacturing industries. During 1849 an
average of 50,731 wage earners, representing 13.7
per cent of the total population, were employed in
manufactures, while in 1909 an average of 210,792
wage earners, or 18.9 per cent of the total population,
were so engaged. In 1849 the total value of the
manufactures of the state, including the products of
the neighborhood and hand industries, amounted to
$47,115,000, while in 1909, exclusive of the value of
products of the neighborhood and hand industries,
it reached $490,272,000. These figures represent increases of 315.5 per cent in number of wage earners
and 940.6 per cent in value of products. During this
period the gross value of products per capita of the
total population of the state increased from $127 to
$440. Nevertheless the state's proportion of the total
value of products manufactured in the United States
fell from 4.6 per cent in 1849 to 2.8 per cent in 1899
and 2.4 per cent in 1909.
The rank of Connecticut among the states in regard
to the value of its manufactured products was twelfth
in 1909, as compared with eleventh in 1899, and fifth
in 1849.
The next table gives ' the most important figures
relative to all classes of manufactures combined for the
state as returned at the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899, together with the percentages of increase from
census to census.
In 1909 the state of Connecticut had 4,251 manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to
an average of 233,871 persons during the year and
paid out $135,756,000 in salaries and wages. Of the
persons employed, 210,792 were wage earners.
These establishments turned out products to the value
of $490,272,000, to produce which materials costing
$257,259,000 were used. The value added by manufacture was thus $233,013,000, which figure, as
explained in the Introduction, best represents the net
wealth created by manufacturing operations during
the year.

622

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of Connecticut as a whole
showed greater development during the more recent
five-year period, 1904-1909, than during the preceding
five-year period, 1899-1904, although a marked
increase is shown for both periods in all items,except
in the number of establishments from 1899 to 1904.
During the later period the number of establishments
increased 22.3 per cent, the average number of wage

earners 16.1 per cent, the value of products 32.8 per
cent, and the value added by manufacture 31.1 per
cent.
As pointed out in the Introduction, it would be
improper to infer that manufactures increased in
volume to the full extent indicated by the figures
representing values, since the increase shown is certainly due, in part, to the increase that has taken
place in the price of commodities.

The relative importance and growth of the leading
manufacturing industries of the state are shown in
the table on page 623.
It should be borne in mind in considering this table
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication, due to the
use of the product of one establishment in the industry
as material for another establishment.
In addition to the industries presented separately
in the following table there are 20 other important
industries, each of which had a value of products in
1909 in excess of $1,000,000. They are included under
"All other industries" in the table in some cases because
the operations of individual establishments would be
disclosed if they were shown separately; in others,
because the returns do not properly present the true
condition of the industry, for the reason that it is more
or less interwoven with one or more other industries,
or because comparable statistics for the different census years can not be presented on account of changes
in classification. These industries are as follows:
Belting and hose, leather; bicycles, motorcycles, and
parts; boots and shoes, rubber; brick and tile; carpets
and rugs, other than rag; dentists' materials; furnishing goods, men's; gas and electric fixtures and lamps
and reflectors;gold and silver,reducing and refining,not

manufacture of men's furnishing goods, gas and electric fixtures and lamps and reflectors, of rubber goods,
"notelsewherespecified," and ofsewing machines,cases,
and attachments are presented in Table II for 1909.
Connecticut ranked second among the states in the
production of rubber boots and shoes, measured by
value of products, and the three gold and silver
refineries of Connecticut reported a greater value of
products than did those of any other state.
Although a few industries predominate in importance, it will be seen from Table II that there is, on
the whole,a wide diversity in the manufacturing activities of the.state. The most important industries listed
in the next table, in which they are arranged in
the order of the value of products, are briefly considered, by classification, in the paragraphs following
the table.

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

Foundry and machine-shop products.—This industry
is of greater importance in the state than is indicated
by the statistics, as some machine shops manufactured
a distinctive product and were assigned to other classifications. The most important product consists of
hardware, of which more than two-fifths of the total
value reported for the United States in 1909 was
reported from Connecticut. Some of the largest establishments, other than those producing hardware, were
engaged in the manufacture of textile and metal-working machinery and internal-combustion engines.
Firearms and ammunition.—This industry is now
mainly centralized in New Haven and Bridgeport.
The increase in the value of products was much greater
from 1899 to 1904 than from 1904 to 1909, being 57.2 per
cent and 12.3 per cent, respectively, for the two fiveyear periods. In 1904, exclusive of governmental
establishments, almost four-fifths of the total value of
the ammunition and over one-fourth of the total value
of the firearms manufactured in the United States
was reported from establishments located in this state.
Connecticut was the leading state in the total value of
products reported for the combined industries in 1909.
Silverware and plated ware.—In 1909 the combined
products of this industry for the state formed over
one-third of the total value for the country. The manufacture of plated ware comprises the principal part of
this industry. In 1904 and 1909 over two-thirds of
the total value of plated ware in the United States was
reported from Connecticut.
Corsets.—Of the 17 establishments reported in 1909
as primarily engaged in the manufacture of corsets, 5
were located in Bridgeport and 9 in New Haven. The
value of products for the industry increased from
$5,591,000 in 1904 to $12,815,000 in 1909, a gain of
$7,224,000, or 129.2 per cent, for the five years. This
increase is noteworthy in view of the fact that from
1899 to 1904 the value of products decreased 18.3 per
cent. In 1904 and in 1909 Connecticut was the leading state in the production of corsets, reporting over
one-third of the total value of products for the United
States in both years.
Automobiles, including bodies and parts.—This industry includes 8 establishments reporting the manufacture of automobiles and 20 establishments (with
about one-fourth of the total value of products for the
whole industry) reporting automobile bodies and parts
as the most important product. A marked increase is
shown in value of products and in value added by
manufacture from 1904 to 1909.
Cutlery and tools, not elseivhere specified.—Connecticut ranked second in this industry in the United States
in 1909, and in 1904 it ranked first among the states
in the value of its manufactures of cutlery and edge
tools, and fourth in tools "not elsewhere specified."
Hats,fur-felt.--The manufacture of hats in Connecticut was begun in 1780 at Danbury, which city is still


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

the leading center of the Industry. In 1904 and in
1909 this state was second in importance in the industry, with 23.6 per cent of the total value of products for
the United States in 1904 and 21.7 per cent in 1909.
Electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies.—The
exceptionally rapid progress during recent years in the
use of electricity has created a demand for appliances
with which to utilize this energy. The establishments
engaged in this industry in Connecticut are devoted
primarily to the production of insulated wires and
cables and electric-light fixtures.
Lumber and timber products.—Under this classification are included the statistics for establishments engaged in logging, as well as for sawmills, planing mills,
and wooden packing-box factories. About threefifths of the total value of products reported for the
entire industry in the state was contributed by the
planing-mill branch.
Clocks and watches, including cases and materials.
-The state ranked first in the total value of products
for this industry in 1909. Nine of the 16 establishments in the state were engaged primarily in the
manufacture of clocks. This branch of the industry
in Connecticut dates from early in 1800, and much
of its early development took place in that state,
where it has been largely centralized. In 1904
nearly three-fourths of the total value of the output of
clocks in the United States was reported from Connecticut factories.
Of the first 10 industries shown separately in the
preceding table, the cotton-goods industry is the only
one which occupies the same position when measured
by value added by manufacture as when measured by
value of products. The positions of the first two, the
foundry and machine-shop and the brass and bronze
products industries, are reversed; the firearms and
ammunition industry exchanges places with the silk
industry; and the silverware and plated-ware industry
takes sixth place instead of the woolen, worsted, and
felt goods industry, which latter falls to ninth place.
The cutlery industry becomes seventh in order,
having
advanced from tenth place, and the automobile
industry moves from ninth to eighth place, while the
manufacture of corsets drops from eighth to tenth
place.
This table shows also the percentages of increase for
these leading industries in respect to value of products
and value added by manufacture. The automobil
e
industry showed greater rates of increase from 1904
to 1909 in value of products and in value added
by manufacture than any other of the important
industries shown separately in the table, namely, 341.3
per cent and 360 per cent, respectively. Remarkable
increases in both these items also are shown for the
manufacture of silverware and plated ware, corsets,
electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies, typewriters and typewriter supplies, and paint and varnish.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
Some striking differences appear among the several
mdustries as respects the increase from 1899 to 1904
as compared with that from 1904 to 1909. All but
six of the industries listed separately showed an increase from 1904 to 1909 in value of products, and all
but eight an increase in value added by manufacture.
None of the industries showing decreases are among
the first 15 industries shown separately. From 1899
to 1904, 11 of the industries given separately
showed losses in value of products, and 12 showed
decreases in value added by manufacture. Of the 15
most important industries, measured by value of
products, which are presented separately, the silverware and the corset industries were the only ones that
showed decreases during this period.
Persons engaged itt manufacturing industries.
-The
following table shows, for 1909, the distribution of the
number of persons engaged in manufactures, the average number of wage earners being distributed by sex
and age. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the sex and age classification of the average number
of wage earners in this and other tables is an estimate
obtained by the method described in the Introduction.

The average number of persons engaged in manufactures during 1909 was 233,871, of whom 210,792
were wage earners. Of the remainder, 9,030 were
proprietors and officials and 14,049 were clerks.
Corresponding figures for individual industries will be
found in Table II, page 648.
The next table shows, for 1909, the percentage of
proprietors and officials, clerks, and wage earners,
respectively, among the total number of persons employed in manufactures. It covers
all industries
combined and 19 important industries individuall
y.
Of the total number of persons
engaged in all
manufacturing industries, 3.9 per cent were proprietors and officials, 6 per cent clerks, and 90.1
per
cent wage earners. In the bakery
and the printing
and publishing industries the
majority of the establishments are small and the work is done to a large
extent by the proprietors or their immediate
representatives, so that the proportion of persons
engaged
in these industries falling into
the class of proprietors

and officials is much higher than for most other
industries or for all industries combined. Similar
conditions prevail to some extent in the manufacture
of lumber and timber products, where the proprietors
arid officials formed 13.1 per cent of the total number
of persons engaged.
On account of the large average number of wage
earners employed in the textile, the corset, and the
brass and bronze industries, they show the smallest
proportions of proprietors and officials.

The next table shows, in percentages, for 1909, for
all industries combined, the distribution of the average number of wage earners, by age periods and
for those 16 years of age and over by sex, calculated
in the manner described in the Introduction. It also
shows for some of the important industries separately
a similar distribution of wage earners as reported for.
December 15, or the nearest representative day.
As a means of judging the importance of the several
industries the average number employed for the year
is also given in each case.
For all industries combined, 73.4 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of age and over,24 per cent females 16 years of age and
over, and 2.6 per cent persons under the age of 16.
Nearly one-third of the total number of female wage
earners were employed in the textile industries. In
the cotton-goods industry nearly two-fifths of the
wage earners were women 16 years of age and over; in
the hosiery and knit-goods industry, about two-thirds;
in the silk industry, nearly one-half; and in the woolen
and worsted industry, over one-fourth. The manufacture of corsets shows the largest proportion of
this class of female wage earners, namely, 82.1 per
cent.

In order to compare the distribution of persons
engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown
at the census of 1904 it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison

Wage earners employed, by months.
-The following
table gives the number of wage earners employed on
the 15th of each month during the year 1909, for all
industries combined; it gives also the percentage
which the number reported for each month is of the
greatest number reported for any month. In Table II,
page 648, are shown,for practically all of the important
industries in the state, the largest number and also
the smallest number of wage earners reported for
any month. The figures are for the 15th day, or the
nearest representative day, of the month.

Comparable figures are not obtainable for 1899.
The table shows a greater percentage of increase in
the salaried employees than in the other two classes.
The next table shows the average number of wage
earners, distributed according to age periods, and
in the case of those 16 years of age and over,
according to sex, for 1909, 1904, and 1899. The
averages for 1909 are estimated on the basis of the
actual number reported for a single representative
day. (See Introduction.)
This table indicates that for all industries combined
there has been only a slight change during the 10
years in the proportion of male and female wage
earners, although there has been a decided actual
increase in the number of both classes of employees.
In 1909 males 16 years of age and over formed 73.4

There are no seasonal industries of importance in
Connecticut, and few of the important industries show
conditions which differ from those for all industries
combined.
The number of wage earners employed in all industries combined was smallest in February. With the
exception of July, the increase was steady month by
month to the end of the year, when the largest number
was employed. During the month of least employment 11.8 per cent fewer wage earners were employed
than during the month of greatest employment.
Prevailing hours of labor.-In the next table wage
earners have been classified according to the hours of
labor prevailing in the establishments in which they
are employed. In making this classification the average number of wage earners employed during the year
is used, and the number employed in each establishment is classified as a total, according to the hours
prevailing in that establishment, even though a few
employees work a greater or less number of hours.

It is evident from these figures that for the great
majority of wage earners employed in the manufacturing industries of Connecticut the prevailing hours of
labor range from 54 to 60 a week, only 8.4 per cent of
the total number being employed in establishments
where the prevailing hours are less than 54 a week,
and but 1.4 per cent in establishments where more
than 60 hours a week prevail.
The foundries and machine shops gave employm
ent
to 37,736 wage earners,
or more than twice as many
as any other single industry
in the state, and 96.2 per
cent of these were employed from
54 to 60 hours per
week, inclusive. In most of the other industrie
s employing large numbers of wage earners, employment
was for a week of over 54 but less than
60 hours. Of
those employed in the tobacco manufacturing
industry,
95.3 per cent were employed 48 hours
per week or less,
and of those employed in railroad repair
shops and in

respectively. Nearly 70 per cent of the wage earners
employed in making fur-felt hats worked less than 54
hours a week. The majority of the wage earners in the
bakery and flour-mill and gristmill industries and in
establishments engaged in the manufacture of needles,
pins, and hooks and eyes were in plants operating 60
hours a week, while for the majority of the wage earners
in the gas industry the prevailing hours of labor were
over 60 a week.
Location of establishments. The next table shows
the extent to which .the manufactures of Connecticut
are centralized in cities or boroughs of 10,000 inhabitants or over. (See Introduction.) The statistics for
1904 are omitted from this table, because there was no
Federal census of population for that year and it was
impossible to determine the cities or boroughs that
came within the group having over 10,000 inhabitants.

In 1909, 68.2 per cent of the total value of products
was reported from cities and boroughs having over
10,000 inhabitants, and 65.7 per cent of the average
number of wage earners were employed in these
places. The figures indicate that not only has a considerable change taken place during the last decade
in the relative importance of the manufacturing
industries of the different groups of cities and boroughs having over 10,000 inhabitants, but the combined industries of such places have gained considerably on those of the districts outside.
The increase in the population of the different places
has affected the grouping in the table. In 1900 Meriden and Stamford were included in the group of cities
and boroughs having from 10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants, but both now belong to the group made up of
cities having between 25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants.
New Haven Vas the only city in the state in 1900
which had over 100,000 inhabitants, but in 1910
Bridgeport had reached that group. Prior to 1910
Middletown, Torrington, and Willimantic each had
less than 10,000 inhabitants, and their statistics,
therefore, were included with the districts outside
in 1899.
The group of cities having over 100,000 inhabitants
shows a decided gain in its proportions of the total,
largely as the result of the addition of Bridgeport,
while the other two groups show losses. Of the total
value of the products reported for the state in 1909,
16.2 per cent was reported from the eight cities and
boroughs having from 10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants,
28.2 per cent from the five cities having between
25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, and 23.8 per cent from
the two cities having more than 100,000 inhabitants.
The corresponding proportions for 1899 were 19 per
cent, 31.4 per cent, and 11.1 per cent, respectively.
The population for 1910 and 1900 of the 15 cities
and boroughs which had 10,000 inhabitants or over in
1910 is given in the next statement.

Figures do not agree with those published in 1904, because it was necessary
to revise the totals in order to include data only for those establishments located
within the corporate limits of the city.

Every city and borough for which comparable
figures are available, except New London, shows
an increase in value of products for the 10 years and
for each of the five-year periods. New London shows
a decrease of 4.8 per cent from 1904 to 1909, due to
the decline in shipbuilding. The largest relative gains
in value of products during the decade were as follows: Stamford, 122.9 per cent; Willimantic, 122.7 per
cent; New Britain, 98.5 per cent; and Bridgeport, 95.6
per cent. For most of the cities shown in the table
the percentages of increase in value of products were
greater from 1904 to 1909 than from 1899 to 1904.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.

•

During the later period the average number of wage
earners employed in the manufacturing industries of
each place,except New London and Ansonia,increased
much less, relatively, than the value of products.
In New London there was an actual decrease in the
number of wage earners.
Bridgeport, the foremost city of the state in manufactures, shows an increase in 1909, as compared with
1904, of 47.1 per cent in value of products and 32.2
per cent in average number of wage earners. The gain
in value of products was due largely to the increases in
the output of automobiles, corsets, electrical machinery,foundry and machine-shop products, and gold and
silver reducing and refining. Compared with other
manufacturing cities of the country,Bridgeport ranked
thirty-ninth in 1899, thirty-fifth in 1904, and thirtythird in 1909 in value of products. In 1909 the foundries
and machine shops of this city turned out products valued at $9,752,000, or 14.9 per cent of the corresponding total for the state. The corset industry was also
of considerable importance, with an output valued at
$6,899,000, or 53.8 per cent of the total for this
industry in the state, while the establishments engaged in the. manufacture of electrical machinery,
,
apparatus, and.siipplies reported products valued at
$3,321,000, or 33.8 per cent of the state total. Other
industries of importance in which this city produced
over half of the value of products for the state are
the manufacture of phonographs and graphophones
and of sewing machines and attachments.
New Haven, the second city of the state in importance when measured by value of products,shows an
increase from 1904 to 1909 of 28.8 per cent in value of
products fail 9.8 per cent in average number of wage
earners.. These gains were due largely to increases in
the production of automobiles, firearms and ammunition, corsets, rubber goods, and foundry and machineshop products (including hardware), and in the output
ofslaughtering and meat-packing establishments. The
value of the clocks and watches made in New Haven
during 1909 is considerable, but exact figures can not
be given without disclosing individual operations. The
statistics for some of the most important industries
are included with "All other industries" because they
can not be presented separately in Table I without
disclosing the operations of individual establishments.
Among these industries, each of which reported products amounting to more than $1,000,000 in value,
are automobiles, including bodies and parts;
boots
and shoes,including cut stock and findings; boots
and
shoes, rubber; boxes, fancy and paper; clocks and
watches, including cases and materials; confectionery;
corsets; firearms and ammunition; gas, illuminating
and heating; rubber goods, not elsewhere specified;
and slaughtering and meat packing.

Waterbury shows an increase of 55.6 per cent in
value of products and 30.9 per cent in number of wage
earners in 1909 as compared with 1904. Unlike the
manufactures of the other cities of importance in the
state, those of Waterbury are concentrated largely in
a single industry, that of brass and bronze manufactures, which in 1909 reported products amounting to
$31,462,000, or 62.5 per cent of the total for the city.
Twenty-four and three-tenths per cent of the total
value of rolled brass and copper and 42.2 per cent of the
total value of brass ware manufactured in the United
States during 1904 were reported from this city, and
in 1909, of the value of all brass and bronze products,
21 per cent was reported from this city. Over twofifths of the total value of clocks and watches manufactured in the state during 1909 was reported from
Waterbury. Other industries of importance in the
city are the manufacture of foundry and m?,chine-shop
products; gas and electric fixtures and lamps and
reflectors; needles, pins, and hooks and eyes; and
'
buttons.
Hartford shows an increase of 56.6 per cent in value
of products and 30.4 per cent in number of wage earners from 1904 to 1909. These gains are due largely to
the increase in the manufacture of automobiles,foundry
and machine-shop products, rubber goods, and typewriters and typewriter supplies, the four leading industries in the city. The major portion of the total
value of the outputfor the state of dentists' materials,
nails and spikes not made in steel works or rolling
mills, leather belting, and machine screws was reported
from Hartford.
Of the other cities given separately in the preceding
table Norwich shows the greatest relative increase from
1904 to 1909 in value of products, 55.9 per cent, and
New Britain the greatest in number of wage earners,
34.2 per cent. The manufacturing interests of New
Britain are so centralized in the manufacture of
hardware that the output of this industry represents 52.9 per cent of the total value of products for
the city. Forty-four and two-tenths per cent of the
value of the cutlery and tools made in the state in 1909
was reported from New Britain. In Norwich the
textile industries are of most importance.
The manufacture of brass and bronze products is the
most important industry in Ansonia and in Torrington.
The silverware and plated-ware industry is the most
important in Meriden. In 1909 this city reported 65.9
per cent of the total value of gas and electric fixtures
and lamps and reflectors manufactured in the state.
The leading industries in Naugatuck are the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes and of rubber goods.
The manufacture of men's furnishing goods (elastic
goods) is the most important industry in Middletown.
In Danbury the leading industry is the manufacture of

fur-felt hats, the output of which in 1909 was valued
at $7,114,683, and formed 68.4 per cent of the total
value reported for this industry in the state. The
manufacture of locks makes the foundry and machineshop industry the most importantin Stamford; and the
textile industries predominate in Willimantic and in
New London.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
The most important distinction shown is that
between corporate and all other forms of ownership.
For all industries combined 35.3 per cent of the total
number of establishments were in 1909 under corporate ownership, as against 64.7 per cent under all
other forms. The corresponding figures for 1904 were
34.1 per cent and 65.9 per cent, respectively. In 1909
the establishments operated by corporations reported
90 per cent of the total value of manufactured products
for the state, as against 10 per cent for those under all
other forms of ownership, while in 1904 the corresponding figures were 85.2 per cent and 14.8 per cent,
respectively. This gain in the relative importance of
establishments under corporate ownership was due
largely to increases in the manufacture of automobiles,
brass and bronze products, corsets, cotton goods,
firearms and ammunition, foundry and machine-shop
products, silk and silk goods, and silverware and
plated ware. All but three-tenths of 1 per cent of
the value of silverware and plated ware and all but
,
five-tenths of 1 per cent of the value of electrical
machinery, apparatus, and supplies reported for 1909
were returned by establishments under corpora
te
ownership. There are three other industries shown in
the table in which over 95 per cent of the value
of
products was reported by this class of establishments.
Size of establishment.—The tendency for manufacturing to become concentrated in largo 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 and for
important industries separately as measured by number of wage earners, value of products,
and value
added by manufacture. The totals for all
industries
are shown for the last
two censuses, while for certain
important industries figures are given for 1909 only.
This table shows that, in 1909,
of the 4,251 establishments only 93, or 2.2 per cent, had
a value of
products exceeding $1,000,000. These
93 establishments, however, employ
ed an average of 95,373 wage
earners, or 45.2 per cent
of the total number in all
establishments, and reported 49.3 per cent of
the total

value of products and 44.7 per cent of the total value
added by manufacture.
On the other hand, the very small establishments—
that is, those having a value of products less than
$5,000--constituted a considerable proportion (30.9
per cent) of the total number of establishments, but
the value of their products amounted to only sixtenths of 1 per cent of the total. The great bulk of
the manufacturing was reported by establishments
having products valued at not less than $100,000.
It will be seen from the table that during the
five years from 1904 to 1909 there was a considerable
increase in the relative importance, as measured by
value of products, of the largest establishments—
those reporting products of not less than $1,000,000
in value—and a decrease in the importance of all other
classes except that having a value of products of less
than $5,000, the proportion in that class remaining
unchanged. Of the 93 establishments whose products
in 1909 exceeded $1,000,000 in value, 13 were engaged
in the manufacture of brass and bronze products, 4 in
the manufacture of cotton goods, 3 in the manufacture
of cutlery and edge tools, 14 in the manufacture of
foundry and machine-shop products,6 in the manufacture of silk goods, and 5 in the manufacture of silverware and plated ware.
The fact that the average value of products per
establishment increased from $106,150 to $115,331,
and the value added by manufacture from $51,130
to $54,814, can not be taken as in itself indicating
a tendency toward concentration. These increased
values shown may be, and probably are, due wholly
or in part to the increase that has taken place in the
prices of commodities.
The average number of wage earners per establishment decreased from 52 to 50. The table shows
further that when the size of establishments is measured by the average value of products per establishment, the bakery, the lumber, and the printing and
publishing industries are conducted chiefly in rather
small establishments, while the manufacture of brass
and bronze products, cotton goods, cutlery, electrical
machinery, foundry and machine-shop products, furfelt hats, silk and silk goods, silverware, and woolen
and worsted goods is mainly carried on in larger
establishments.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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

633

following table shows, for 1909, such a classification
for all industries combined and for 19 important industries individually, and gives not only the number of
establishments falling into each group but also the
average number of wage earners employed:

I Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

Of the 4,251 establishments reported for all industries,
9.6 per cent employed no wage earners; 44.6 per cent,
from 1 to 5; 21 per cent, 6 to 20; 9.6 per cent, 21 to
50; and 15.2 per cent, over 50. The most numerous
single group consists of the 1,896 establishments employing from 1 to 5 wage earners, and the next of the
893 establishments employing from 6 to 20. There
were 84 establishments that employed over 500 wage
earners, and 37 that employed over 1,000.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Of the total number of wage earners, 60.9 per cent
were in establishments employing over 250 wage earners. The single group having the largest number of
employees was the group comprising establishments
employing over 1,000 wage earners. Of the 11 industries represented in this group for which separate presentation is made in the table,the foundries and machine
shops reported the largest number of wage earners,
13,102. Five other industries, however, exceeded the

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

foundries and machine shops in the proportion of their
wage earners in this group, namely,firearms and ammunition, brass and bronze products, clocks and watches,
corsets, and cutlery and tools. The industries listed in
this table but not in the preceding one, namely, automobiles, clocks and watches, corsets, firearms and ammunition, hosiery and knit goods, musical instruments,
and paper and wood pulp, are all industries in which
comparatively large establishments do most of the business, as appears from the classification according to
the number of 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. Facts of interest can, however, be brought
out concerning the relative importance of the different
classes of expenses which 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 II, page 648.

the number of such engines being 460 in 1909, as against
254 in 1904 and 171 in 1899. The figures also show that
the practice of renting power is on the increase, 9.5
per cent of the total power being rented in 1909, as
against 4.7 per cent in 1904 and 3.6 per cent in 1899.
The use of electric motors for the purpose of applying
the power generated within the establishment is also
shown to be rapidly increasing, the horsepower of
such motors having increased from 8,710 in 1899 to
26,346 in 1904 and 64,051 in 1909.

This table shows that, for all industries combined,
59.8 per cent of the total expense was for materials,
31.6 per cent for services-that is, salaries and wages
and but 8.6 per cent for other purposes. These proportions vary greatly in the different industries.
-The following table shows, for
Engines and power.
all 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 censuses of 1909, 1904, and 1899.
Of the owned power in 1909, 75.9 per cent was steam,
as compared with 72 per cent in 1899. Water power,
although showing an actual increase (luring the decade
of 6,723 horsepower, decreased in proportion of owned
power from 27.2 per cent in 1899 to 20.4 per cent in
1909. The more general use of gas engines is shown,

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES,
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects,
by means of special schedules, details regarding the
quantity and cost of materials, the quantity and value
of products, and the number of machines used in manufactures which do not appear on the general schedule.
Certain data of this character for nine important industries in Connecticut are here presented.
Textiles.-The following statement shows the number of producing spindles, looms, knitting machines,
sets of woolen cards, and wool-combing machines used
by the four most important textile industries in Connecticut during 1909, 1904, and 1899, and indicates the
progress during the decade of the four industries combined as well as each of the branches separately.

'Statistics for 1899 not available for two establishments manufacturing felt goods.

The above table shows that from 1904 to 1909 the
number of producing spindles increased 82,625, or
5.5 per cent, and the number of looms 4,521, or 16
per cent, while knitting machines show a decrease of
56, or 2.2 per cent. The number of sets of woolen
cards decreased 29, or 5.3 per cent, and the number of
Wool-combing machines increased 8, or 32 per cent.
Of the total number of producing spindles reported in
1909 for these four industries combined, 1,241,524, or
77.9 per cent, were in cotton mills; 118,302, or 7.4 per
cent, in silk mills; 179,688, or 11.3 per cent, in woolen,
worsted, and felt mills; and 53,904, or 3.4 per cent,in
hosiery and knitting mills. The cotton industry made
the largest absolute gain in number of spindles during the
last five years, the increase being 90,609, or 7.9 per cent.
The largest relative gain in number of spindles, however, was in the silk industry, where there was an increase of 11,598, or 10.9 per cent. The falling off in
the number of spindles in knitting mills is due to the
tendency to purchase yarn already spun. In addition
to the spindles shown in the table
there were 13,756
producing spindles employed in the manufacture of
cordage and twine in 1909. There were 3,567 more
looms used in the cotton industry and 746 more in the
silk industry in 1909 than in 1904.

The cotton consumed in this industry in 1909
amounted to 57,723,360 pounds,costing $7,484,047,and
representing an increase over 1904 of 4,444,878 pounds,
or 8.3 per cent, in quantity, and $623,481, or 9.1 per
cent, in cost. In 1909 the quantity and cost of
domestic cotton represented 89.5 per cent and 85.9
per cent, respectively, of the total quantity and cost of
all cotton consumed, proportions somewhat smaller
than the corresponding figures for 1904, which were
93.4 per cent and 91 per cent, respectively. The consumption of foreign cotton increased considerably
between 1899 and 1909, although a pronounced decrease occurred from 1899 to 1904. Cotton waste purchased increased for the decade as a whole, although
a decrease is shown for the period from 1899 to 1904.

SUPPLEMENT FOR CONNECTICUT.

Each kind of product presented separately shows
an increase in value from 1904 to 1909, with the
exception of ticks, denims, and stripes. Twills and
sateens made the largest gain during the period, the
increase in value being $1,749,520, or 124.7 per cent.
Plain cloths for printing and converting were the
most important class of fabrics manufactured in
both quantity and value, although the output shows
a decrease in 1909 of 7,244,235 square yards as compared with 1904 and 830,120 square yards as compared
with 1899; there has, however, been an increase during the decade in the value of this class of products.
Twills and sateens stand next to plain cloths in the
quantity manufactured in 1909. The increase for
the decade in the output of this class of goods was
21,103,585 square yards, or 107 per cent, the greater
part of which occurred between 1904 and 1909. The
increases in the quantity and value of sheetings and
shirtings were very much less than the gains hown for
twills and sateens. Fancy woven fabrics, which are
made in considerable quantities, show a decrease of
3,296,535 square yards, or 16.1 per cent, for the
10-year period, and an increase in value of $252,491, or
16.9 per cent. It will be noted that the value of the
thread manufactured exceeds that reported for any
other class of products.
Silk and silk goods, including throwsters.-The
second industry of importance in respect to value of
.
products among the textile industries of Connecticut
is the manufacture of silk and silk goods. The state
has one of the largest factories in the country manufacturing broad silks and other woven silk goods.
Of the 47 establishments reported in 1909 a number are engaged solely in throwing silk for others on
contract.
The quantity and cost of the various materials used
in the silk mills and the quantity apd value of the
different classes of products reported for 1909, 1904,
and 1899 are shown in the next table.
Cotton and mercerized yarns formed the principal
material according to weight, and showed the most
marked increase, while raw silk was the material of
greatest value.
Three groups of products furnished nearly equal
proportions of the total value, namely, velvets and
plushes, with $5,959,175, or 28.3 per cent of the total;
broad silks, with $5,890,233, or 28 per cent; and machine twist, sewing, embroidery, wash,fringe, and floss
silks, with $5,108,180, or 24.3 per cent.
The output of velvets and plushes increased 125.9
per cent in quantity and 114.7 per cent in value during
the 10-year period, that of broad silks 108.4 per cent
in quantity and 93.4 per cent in value, and that of
machine twist and other sewing and embroidery silks
5.4 per cent in quantity and 12.3 per cent in value.
organzine. tram, and spun silk yarns, which ranked

next in value of output, increased 76.4 per cent in
quantity and 80.2 per cent in value between 1899 and
1909. Ribbons show a gain of 71.7 per cent in value
for the decade as a whole, although a decrease of 2.5
per cent occurred during the last five years.
Ribbons constitute the only item which shows a decrease in value between 1904 and 1909. "All other
products," on the other hand, which fell off somewhat
during the earlier five-year period, increased 324.2 per
cent between 1904 and 1909.
In 1909, 290,253 pounds of silk were thrown on
commission, 150,332 pounds into organzine, and
139,921 pounds into tram. The corresponding total
for 1904 was 216,454 pounds, of which 131,038 pounds
were thrown into organzine and 85,416 pounds into
tram.

Woolen, worsted, and felt goods.'-Three establishments were primarily engaged in the manufacture of
felt goods in 1909, one in 1904, and two in 1899. The
following table gives the details concerning the cost
of the different materials used in the manufacture
of
woolen and worsted goods and the quantity and value
of the leading kinds of products for these two branches
of the industry in 1909, 1904, and 1899, the cost of
materials used and the value of products for felt goods
also being included for 1909.
1 The title of this industry in the tables, being uniform
states, is "Woolen, worsted, and fel,t goods, and wool hats," for all
but in
Connecticut no wool hats were reported.

'Includes tapes.

The increase during the decade in the total cost of
materials was proportionally greater than the increase
in the value of products. Both the quantity and the
cost of foreign woolconsumed have decreased since 1899,
although there has been a slight gain in quantity since
1904. From 1899 to 1904 there was a decided gain in
the quantity and cost of domestic wool consumed, but
from 1904 to 1909 a decrease occurred
in both items.
For the decade the quantity of
domestic wool decreased
slightly, although its cost shows a considerable
increase.
The most conspicuous
gain was for worsted yarns
purchased, which increased during the last five-year
period, 1904-1909, 99.8 per cent in
quantity and 125.4
per cent in cost.

whether woolen or worsted, was 17,987,303 square
yards in 1909, 18,377,887 square yards in 1904,
and .11,549,809 square yards in 1899. The combined
value of these classes of goods represented 78 per cent
of the total value of products for the industry in 1909,
72.8 per cent in 1904, and 63.1 per cent in 1899. The
quantity and value of union tweeds increased from
1899 to 1904, but decreased from 1904 to 1909, with
the result that both items were smaller in 1909 than in
1899. The output of all other union or cotton-mixed
woven goods decreased steadily from 1899 to 1909, and
their value was also lower in 1909 than in 1899,
although somewhat higher than in 1904. For each
of the two classes into which goods woven on cotton
warps are divided in the table, the values declined
regularly from 1899 to 1909, but the output of woolfilling cassimeres and jeans was greatest in 1909 and
that of the cotton-warp goods included under the
head of "All other" was greatest in 1904.
Hosiery and knit goods.-Twenty-one establishments-three less than in 1904 and four less than in
1899-were reported in this industry at the census of
1909. The quantity and cost of the principal materials
used and the quantity and value of the products
reported for the hosiery and knit-goods industry at the
last three censuses were as follows:

The consumption of domestic cotton was 26 per
cent less in 1909 than in 1904. Because of the demand
for long fiber the quantity of foreign cotton increased
32.7 per cent from 1904 to 1909. The consumption
of both domestic and foreign wool decreased, the quantity reported being 966,738 pounds less in 1909 than in
1904. Waste and noils show the largest gain, the
increase during the last five years being 116.6 per
cent in quantity and 178.9 per cent in cost. Both
the quantity and the cost of cotton and woolen,
worsted, and merino yarns purchased in ,1909 were
greater than in 1904.
The gain shown in both quantity and value of hose
and half hose during the 10-year period is marked,
although the quantity decreased considerably from
1904 to 1909. The growth in the production of
merino and mixed shirts and drawers is noticeable;
there was, however, a falling off in the production of
all-wool underwear.

The totals for this industry do not include the electric machinery and apparatus, to the value of $689,696
in 1909 and $591,094 in 1904, which were manufactured
by establishments primarily engaged in some other
industry.
Insulated wires and cables formed the products of
highest value at both censuses. The largest relative
gain was in the value of the different classes of machinery and apparatus included under the head of "All
other products," which consisted mainly of electric
lamps, dynamos, motors, storage and primary batteries, telephones and telephone parts, and magnetoignition apparatus.

CHAPTER 5.
MINES AND QUARRIES.
Introduction.—The present chapter contains a complete statement of the statistics of all mining industries, which include all mines and quarries, in the state
of Connecticut for the year 1909, as shown by the Thirteenth Census. A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
mining industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
The explanations here given show the usage of the
mining census generally, though some of the special
rules have obviouply no relation to particular states
in which the industries referred to do not exist.
Scope of census.—The Thirteenth Census covered all classes of
mines, quarries, and petroleum and gas wells that were in operation
during any portion of the year 1909, both those which were producing and those whose operations were confined to development
work. Mines, quarries, or wells that were idle during the entire
year 1909 were omitted from the canvass. The following operations
were likewise omitted from the canvass: Prospecting; the digging
of
or dredging of sand and gravel for the construction roads and for
building operations; the production of mineral waters; and the
operation of small bituminous coal banks producing less than 1,000
tons annually. Where the mineral products are not marketed in
their crude condition, but are dressed or washed at the mine or
quarry, the statistics of mining cover the entire work of obtaining
the crude material and its preparation for the market.
Period covered.—The 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 enterprises
which began or discontinued business during the year.
Number of operators.—As a rule, the unit of enumeration was the
"operator." Every individual, firm, or corporation was required
to furnish one report for all mines, quarries, or wells which were
operated under the same management or for which one set of
books of account was kept. Separate reports were obtained for all
properties operated in different states, even where they were owned
by the same operator. Likewise, where the operations of one
individual, firm, or corporation covered more than one class of
mines and quarries, such as coal, iron, limestone, etc., a separate
report was received for each industry.
Number of mines, quarries, and wells.—This figure represents
the total number of mines•and quarries in operation or in the course
of development at any time during the calendar year 1909, or the
business year that corresponds most nearly to that calendar year,
and the number of completed petroleum and natural gas wells in
operation on December 31, 1909.
In most mining and quarrying industas the number of mines
or quarries varies but little from the number of operators.
Expenses Of operation and development.—A certain amount of
development work is incidental to the operation of every mine.
The expenses reported for producing mines include the cost both
of operation and of development work which was done in connection
with operation.

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however, could be furnished only in
those cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and
materials used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the
beginning and at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from general among mine operators, and there is reason to
believe that in many cases the reperted cost of supplies and materials covered all purchased during the year rather than those used
during the year. The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for further dressing or refining; the cost of such
materials is shown separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state
the total amount of capital invested in the enterprise on the last day
of the business year reported, as shown by his books. There is,
however, a great diversity in the methods of bookkeeping in use by
different operators. As a result, the statistics for capital lack euniforraity. Some of the figures reported apparently represent capital
stock at face value; others include large investments in mineral
lands which are not at present being actively mined, but are held in
reserve; still others may include expenditures for unproductive
mining ventures in no way related to the operations carried on
during the census year.
Persons engaged in mining industries.—The statistics of the number of operators and officials, clerks, and wage earners, are based
on the returns for December 15, or the nearest representative day.
The reported number of wage earners includes overseers and foremen performing work similar to that of the men over whom they
have charge; those whose duties are wholly supervisory are classed
as superintendents and managers. Because of the common practice
of shutting down mines at frequent intervals, it is impossible to
ascertain with any satisfactory degree of accuracy the average number of employees—that is, the number who, if continuously employed, would be required to produce the actual output of the year.
Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
were obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey, but the two bureaus follow different methods in presenting these statistics. The Geological Survey shows separately the value of each mineral product, whereas
the Bureau of the Census presents the value of products of each
mining industry. The value of products given for a mining industry often includes the value of some products not covered by the industry designation. The crude product of metalliferous mines may
include varying combinations of metals,such as gold, silver, copper,
lead, zinc, and iron. Similarly, the total value of all products of
the granite quarries is not identical with the value of the total output of granite, but may include the value of some marble or other
stone quarried in connection with the principal product.
The value of products for 1909 in most cases represents the value
of the products marketed during that year, not the value of those
mined during that year.

DISTRIBUTION.

-In Table 4 all mines and
Prevailing hours of labor.
quarries, except those employing no wage earners or
operated exclusively by contract work, have been
classified according to the prevailing hours of labor
per day in each enterprise or operating unit. The
table shows the percentage of the total number of
enterprises falling in each group, and also a per cent
distribution in which each enterprise has been given a
weight according to the total number of wage earners
employed December 15, 1909, or the nearest representative day. It should be borne in mind that this
latter distribution does not show the exact proportion
of the total number of wage earners working the
specified number of hours per day,since, in some cases,
a part of the employees worked a greater or less
number of hours than those generally prevailing in the
enterprise. As appears from the table, a majority of all
enterprises are operated on a 10-hour basis. Of the
total number of enterprises, weighted according to the
number of wage earners, 60.4 per cent were operated
on this basis. For granite and traprock ,quarrying,
the two leading industries, the corresponding percentages were, respectively, 45.9 and 95.6.

Comparison of mining industries: 1902-1909.—Th
order to make comparisons between 1909 and 1902,
it is necessary to omit from the 1902 figures, statistics for enterprises operated by governmental institutions, and to add to the 1909 statistics,figures for the
production of lime which were omitted from the census
of mines and quarries in 1909. Such items as are
comparable for the two years are presented in Table 6.
The principal increases in the value of products were
in the value of the sandstone, which increased from
$128,579 to $191,760, and in siliceous crystalline rock,
consisting of granite and traprock, which increased
from $812,141 to $976.687.

Duplication between manufactures and mining.—In
three industries, the mining of feldspar and quartz
and the quarrying of granite, some of the operators
subjected the products obtained to certain manufacturing processes on the premises before marketing.
These enterprises have been included in the statistics
both for manufactures and for mining. As a result
of this fact the combined value of products for the
manufacturing and mining industries in Connecticut
involves a duplication of $535,927, of which $449,134
represented the value of the granite reported, $46,793
the value of the feldspar, and $40,000 the value of
the quartz.

THIRTEENTH CENSUS PUBLICATIONS.
The results of • the Thirteenth Decennial Census will be published in
two forms: A comprehensive report in 12 volumes, and a condensed
report, the Abstract of the Thirteenth Census, which is being issued
with Supplements for the different states.
The material contained in the Supplements embraces for each state
all of the census results published concerning the state, its counties,
cities, and other civil divisions, except as to occupations. This material
is bound up in one volume with the Abstract of the Thirteenth
Decennial Census. The result is a series of editions of the Abstract
each with a different State Supplement, with the purpose of furnishing
those who receive the Abstract with the statistics of the state in which
they reside.
The material contained in the various State Supplements will also be
printed by subjects in the final reports. The chapters relating to Population for all of the states will be assembled in two Volumes of the final
report on Population; those relating to Agriculture, in two volumes of
the final report on that subject; those relating to Manufactures, in one
volume of the final report on Manufactures; and those relating to
Mining, in the final report on Mining.
The present pamphlet is a reprint of the State Supplement. It
contains no material which is not available in the bound volume of the
Abstract for the state to which it refers, or in the complete final report
of the Thirteenth Census, and has been issued in a very limited edition
for special 'purposes.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population
of Maine, by counties and minor civil divisions, as
enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of population where possible, and a statement and discussion
for the state as a whole of the population living in
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
in detail in two general tables.
Table 1 (p. 571) shows the population of Maine, distributed according to counties and minor civil divisions, at the last three censuses, namely, those of 1910,
1900, and 1890. The arrangement of counties and of
the primary divisions in each county is alphabetical.
The figures for secondary divisions are printed in
italics. The changes in boundaries, name, or form
of organization that took place between 1900 and 1910
are indicated in footnotes to the table. For changes
between 1890 and 1900 reference must be made to
the census report of 1900.
It may be noticed that the county totals as given
in Table 1 for 1900 and 1890 sometimes exceed the
aggregate population of the minor civil divisions of the
counties as shown in the table. This is due in part to
the fact that some of the minor civil divisions of the
respective counties had gone out of existence by 1910,
their territory having been annexed to one or more
other divisions or taken to form new divisions. In
other cases, at the censuses of 1900 and 1890, some
of the sparsely settled divisions were not returned
separately.
Table 2 (p. 576) shows the cities and incorporated
villages of Maine and also the towns having in 1910
2,500 inhabitants or more, alphabetically arranged,
with their population in 1910, 1900, and 1890.
The population of Maine, by counties, at each of
the last five censuses, from 1870 to 1910, inclusive;
the increase during the last two decades; the density
of population at the census of 1910; and the distribu-

•

tion of the population at the last two censuses according to urban and rural districts, are given in Table I of
Chapter 2.
The tables and text of the present chapter contain
few technical expressions whose meaning is not apparent. The census usage in regard to certain terms is,
however, explained below:

HISTORICAL NOTE.—The name "Mayne" was applied by early explorers to the
mainland of the territory now occupied by the state of Maine, as distinguished
from the numerous islands along the coast.
About the close of the fifteenth century the Cabots, exploring in the service of
England, discovered Newfoundland and the mainland of North America. On the
basis of their discoveries England claimed a large part of North America,including
all the region lying along the North Atlantic coast claimed by the French as a part
of New France. The territory embraced within the present limits of Maine wal
included, either wholly or in part, both in the French grants to the Sieur de Monts
in 1603 and to the Company of New Franco in 1628,and in the English grants to the
Plymouth Company in 1606 and to the council of Plymouth in 1620. These conflicting claims were in part responsible for the controversy and bloodshed which,
for a century and a half, occurred from time to time between the two powers.
A number of temporary settlements were made in this territory during the early
years of the seventeenth century, but the first permanent settlement was probably
that established at Pemaquid by the English about 1623 or 1624.
In 1622 the tract between the Merrimac and Kennebec Rivers was granted by
the council of Plymouth to Capt. John Mason and Sir Ferdinando Gorges. In 1629

the proprietors divided their grant, and Gorges retained the part east of the Piscataqua River, which now forms the extreme southwestern boundary of Maine. In
1639 he received a royal charter for this territory, under the name of"The Province
or Countie of Mayne." In 1677 the Province of Maine was sold by the heirs of Gorges
to the colony of Massachusetts Bay, which had for some time claimed this territory
under a conflicting grant.
In 1663 Charles II granted to the Duke of York the territory between the St. Croix
and the Kennebec Rivers, and in 1691, in the provincial charter, William and
Mary granted the same territory to the Massachusetts Bay colony.
In 1763 France relinquished her claims to Maine territory to England; and in
1783, at the close of the Revolution, the British claims were ceded to the United
•
States.
Up to March 15, 1820, Maine formed a part of the state of Massachusetts. On the
date named it was admitted to the Union as a separate state, having substantially
its present limits.
According to estimates and censuses taken prior to the first Federal census, in
1790, the population of the district of Maine at different dates was as follows: 1764
(census),23,993; 1776(census), 47,520; 1784(partly estimated), 61,406.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the
different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election
precincts etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank
next to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In many instances, however, these primary divisions contain political units of still smaller area, such as incorporated
villages or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to
as secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defined.—The Census Bureau, for
purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that residing
in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more.
In the New England states, in addition to cities having this population, all towns having a population of 2,500 or more have also been
classed as urban, without regard to the population of the villages
(whether incorporated as such or not) which they may contain.
"
The result is that the "urban,areas in New England include some
population which in other sections of the United States would be
segregated as "rural." This departure from the general rule, rendered necessary by local conditions in New England, probably
makes no great change in the proportions of urban and rural population in those sections where population is dense and generally
devoted to manufacturing. In other sections a considerable variation doubtless results, but there is no reason to suppose that it
materially affects the distinguishing characteristics of urban and
rural population as defined by census statistics.
Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the state
or county is classed as rural. In the New England states, therefore,
the rural population consists of the population outside of towns and
cities having 2,500 inhabitants or more.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations or
with respect to the increase between enumerations. In order to
contrast the proportion of the total population living in urban or

(565)

SUPPLEMENT FOR MAINE.

rural territory at the census of 1910 with the proportion urban or
rural at the preceding census, it is necessary to classify the territory
according to the conditions as they existed at each census. In this
comparison -a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants in 1900 and
over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population for 1900 and
with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order to present
fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as regards
their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider the changes in population for the same territory which have occurred from one decennial
census to another. For this purpose the territory which in 1910 was

urban or rural, as the case may be, is taken as the basis, and the
population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing effect on comparisons which would arise from the passage, for example, of communities formerly classed as rural into the urban group. These two
distinct forms of comparison are made in Table I of Chalker 2for the
state as a whole and for each county separately for the last two
censuses.

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION.
Population of the state.—The population of Maine
in 1910 was 742,371. Compared with a population of

694,466 in 1900, this represents an increase during
the last decade of 47,905,or 6.9 per cent. During the
same period the total population of the United
States increased 21 per cent. The percentage of
increase for the state during this decade, though corn-

paratively small, is larger than that shown by any
census since 1860.
The following table shows the population of Maine at
each census from 1790 to 1910, inclusive, together with
the increase and per bent of increase during each
decade, in comparison with the per cent of increase for
the United States as a whole.

It will be noticed from this table that the early
censuses showed the most rapid increase in the population of the state. From 1790 to 1810, a period of
20 years, the population more than doubled and from
1810 to 1840, a period of 30 years, it again more than
doubled. During the period of 20 years from 1840 to
1860, however, the population increased only a little
more than one-fourth and during the last 50 years,
from 1860 to 1910, it increased somewhat less than
one-fifth, or 18.2 per cent, the decade 1860-1870 even
showing a slight decrease in population.
A comparison of the rates of increase for the state
with those for the United States, as given in the
preceding table, shows that there were only three
decades in which the rate of increase for the state was
higher than that for the country as a whole. Since
1850 the rates of increase for the state have been
very much lower than those for the United States,
while during one decade', as already pointed out, a
decrease occurred. The population of the state in 1910
was less than eight times its population in 1790, when
the First Census was taken, while the population of
• the United States in 1910 was more than twentytime times that in 1790.

In 1790 Maine contained 9.6 per cent of the total
population of New England,which was 1,009,408. The
proportion of New England's population in Maine
steadily increased until 1840, when it was 22.5 per cent.
Since 1840 it has steadily decreased until in 1910, in
an aggregate population of 6,552,681 in the New England states, Maine was represented by 11.3 per cent
of the whole. Since the First Census the population
of the New England states has multiplied more than
six times, while that of Maine has multiplied nearly
eight times.
Principal cities.—Maine has 20 cities, of which the
largest, Portland, had in 1910 a population of 58,571,
and the next largest, Lewiston, a population of 26,247.
There were 5 cities having from 10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants,9froth 5,000 to 10,000,and 4 from 2,500 to 5,000,
respectively. The aggregate population of the 20
cities was 245,741, or 33.1 per cent of the total population of the state.
Table 2 shows the population in 1910 of all the
cities of the state with comparative figures, where

Counties.-Maine has 16 counties. The population
of these counties ranged in 1910 from 18,216 in Lincoln County to 112,014 in Cumberland County.
There were no changes in the territorial boundaries
of the counties between 1900 and 1910.
Ten counties increased in population during the
last decade, the percentages of increase ranging from
3.7 per cent in Franklin County to 22.9 per cent in
Aroostook County, and the absolute increases from
675 in Franklin County to 13,920 in Aroostook County.
Seven counties showed a larger percentage of increase
than that shown for the state as a whole, which,
as before stated, was 6.9 per cent. Six counties
decreased in population during the last decade, the
percentages of decrease ranging from 3.3 per cent in
Waldo County to 8.6 per cent in Sagadahoc County.
The aggregate increase of population in the 10 counties
that showed an increase was 57,334; the aggregate
decrease of population in the 6 counties that showed
a decrease was 9,429. The difference, 47,905, is, of
course, the total increase of population in the state.

state is 29,895 square miles. The average number of
persons to the square mile in 1910 was 24.8; in 1900
and 1890 it was 23.2 and 22.1, respectively. The
average number per square mile for the United States
as a whole in 1910 was 30.9.
The density of population is given by counties in
Table I of Chapter 2, and in a map on page 570.
Aroostook County, with 6,453 square miles, has the
largest area, and Sagadahoc County, with 250 square
miles, has the smallest area. Cumberland County in
1910 was the most densely populated, having 131.3
persons to the square mile. Androscoggin County followed closely, with 130.3 persons to the square mile.
Piscataquis County, with 5.3 persons to the square
mile, was the most sparsely settled.

divided into 907 primary divisions comprising 429
towns, 20 cities, 81 plantations, 348 townships, 11
grants,3 gores, 1 tract,3surpluses, and 11 islands. No
population was reported at the last three censuses for
200 townships,5 grants,1 gore, and 2 surpluses. There
are also 21 secondary divisions, all of which are villages. These incorporated villages, under the laws of
Maine, are not independent minor civil divisions but
form parts of the towns in which they are located.
The form of government granted to plantations is
very simple, while gores, grants, surpluses, tracts, and
townships, as a rule, are unorganized.
-In addition to the 20 cities

already mentioned, Maine contains 21 communities incorporated as villages. Four of the incorporated villages had morethan 2,500 inhabitants each in 1910,their
combined population being 16,507; while 17 villages
had less than 2,500 inhabitants each, their combined
population being 18,929. The aggregate population of
the 21 villages of the state in 1910 was,therefore, 35,436,
or 4.8 per cent of the total population of the state.

The 41 places having in 1910 either the city or the
village form of incorporation had an aggregate population of 281,177, or 37.9 per cent of the total population of the state. One village having 83 inhabitants
in 1910 was not returned separately in 1900. The
population in 1900 of the 40 cities and incorporated
villages which the state then contained was 253,405,
or 36.5 per cent of the total population of the state
at that time. From 1900 to 1910 the population of
these 40 cities and villages increased 27,689, or 10.9
per cent. Outside of these cities and villages the
population increased 20,216, or 4.6 per cent.

The population of the state classified as urban in
1910 was contained in 20 cities and 35 towns. The
entire rural population was in towns or unincorporated
communities of less than 2,500 inhabitants, there
being no cities in the state having less than this number of inhabitants.
The urban territory of the state in 1910-that is,
the cities and towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more
contained 381,443 inhabitants, or 51.4 per cent of the
total population, while 360,928 inhabitants, or 48.6
per cent,lived in rural territory. The urban territory
-that is, cities and towns then
as it existed in 1900
having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 337,390
inhabitants, or 48.6 per cent of the total population,
while 357,076 inhabitants, or 51.4 per cent, lived in
rural territory. There was thus a slight increase in the
proportion of urban population during the last decade.
For the United States as a whole the urban population
constituted 46.3 per cent of the total population in 1910
and 40.5 per cent of the total population in 1900.
Table I of Chapter 2 shows 10 counties having a larger
proportion and 6 counties having a smaller proportion
of urban population in 1910 than in 1900. •

A comparison of the figures for 1910 and 1890, as
given in the above table, shows that the proportion
of the population in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants
has more than doubled since 1890. The proportion
of population living in cities and towns having from
2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants increased only slightly,
while the proportion of rural population decreased.
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 and
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 basis and the
aggregate population in 1910 and in 1900 of the same
places is then compared. Thus, as shown in the
table on the following page, the total population
in 1910 of those cities and towns which at that time
had over 2,500 inhabitants was 381,443; in 1900
the total population of these same places was 339,564.
It may be noted that the latter figure exceeds the
total population in 1900 of those places which at that
time had over 2,500 inhabitants each, _337,390 (see
table above), by 2,174. The difference is due to

two things: First, four towns having less than 2,500
inhabitants each in 1900, with a combined population
of 7,434, had more than 2,500 inhabitants each in
1910; and second, two towns having more than 2,500
inhabitants each in 1900, with a combined population
of 5,260, had less than 2,500 inhabitants each in 1910.
The comparison of the total population in 1910 of
places having a population of not less than 2,500
each with the total population of the same places
in 1900, as given in the following table, shows an
increase of 12.3 per cent. During the same period
the rural population, comprising that of the remainder
of the state, increased 1.7 per cent. Urban population thus increased much more rapidly than rural.
For the United States as a whole urban population
increased 34.9 per cent in the last decade and rural
population 11.2 per cent. As shown by Table I of
Chapter 2, there were nine counties in Maine in which
the population living in rural territory decreased, and
four counties in which there was a decrease in urban
population.
For the state as a whole the population classified
as urban is still further distributed in the following
table, which shows, for 1910 and 1900, the combined
population of the cities and towns having, in 1910,

From this table it appears that both groups of urban
communities increased in population during the last
decade more rapidly than the state as a whole, the
rate of increase for cities of over 25,000 inhabitants
being a little more than double, and that for cities
and towns of 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants a little less
than double, the rate for the state; the rate of increase
in rural territory, on the other hand, was only about
one-fourth of that for the state.
It also appears that of the decennial increase in population, namely, 47,905, very nearly two-thirds was in
cities and towns of 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants.

civil divisions, the decennial increase and the density
of population, and the proportions urban and rural,
the present chapter deals with the composition and
characteristics of the population. The two chapters
cover all the principal topics of the population census
except occupations and ownership of homes.
Description of the tables.—The greater part of this
chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage, sex, citizenship, illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings and
families, as follows: Table I for the state and counties;
Table II for the two cities of more than 25,000
inhabitants; Table III for cities of 10,000 to 25,000;
Table IV for places of 2,500 to 10,000; and Table V
for wards of Portland, the one city of more than
50,000 inhabitants.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 14)
reproduces from the general tables the more important
state and city totals, and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital
condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the
statistics on each subject are shown according to race,
and for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign
born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage—that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign
Parentage—having both parents born abroad; (3) native, mixed parentage—having one parent native and
the other foreign born; (4) foreign born. As the second and third classes do not differ 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, it is desirable
that the two classes be distinguished in presenting census data. The Bureau of the Census has undertaken
to do this by classifying as urban the population of all
incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more. In
New England, however, where many villages of considerable size are not separately incorporated, it was
72624°-13--2


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

deemed best in the census of 1910 to classify also
towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more as urban, although
this classification is not very satisfactory because such
towns generally include more or less population that
is essentially rural.
The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time between September 1, 1909,and the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person 10 years of age or over who is unable to write,
regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).—Of the total population of Maine in 1910, 494,907, or 66.7 per cent, were
native whites of native parentage; 134,955, or 18.2 per
cent, were native whites of foreign or mixed parentage;
110,133,or 14.8 percent, were foreign-born whites; and
1,363, or 0.2 per cent, were negroes. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 71, 15.3, 13.4, and 0.2,
respectively, the proportion of native whites of native
parentage having decreased during the decade. Ti
12 of the 16 counties less than 15 per cent of the population was foreign-born white; the highest percentage for
this element, 23.9, was for Androscoggin County. Approximately one-third (32.3 per cent) of the population of Aroostook County was native white of foreign or
mixed parentage, and in 14 counties the percentage for
this class exceeded that for foreign-born whites. (See
maps on a following page.)
Of the urban population, 55.1 per cent were native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 78.9 per cent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage were 23.8 and 1-2.2 per cent,
respectively-. The percentage of foreign-born whites
was 20.8 in the urban population and 8.5 in the rural.
Sex (Table 2).—In the total population of the state
in 1910 there were 377,052 males and 365,319 females,
or 103.2 males to 100 females. In 1900 the ratio was
102.2 to 100. Among native whites the ratio in 1910
was 101.8 to 100; among foreign-born whites, 111.1 to
100. In the urban population there were 98.4 males to
100 females, an in the rural, 108.6.
State of birth (Tables 3 and 4).—Of the native population—that is, population born in the United States
91.6 per cent were born in Maine and 8.4 per cent outside the state; of the native white population, 8.4 per
cent were born outside the state, and of the native
negro, 28.8 per cent. Persons born outside the state
constituted a larger proportion of the native population
in urban than in rural communities.

SUPPLEMENT FOR MAINE.

Foreign nationalities(Table 5).
-Of the foreign-born
white population of Maine in 1910, persons born in
Canada represented 68.9 per cent (those of French
parentage, 31.8, and all others, 37.1); Ireland, 7.2;
England, 5.1; Russia, 4.3; Italy, 3.1; Scotland, 2.2;
Sweden, 2; all other countries, 7.3 per cent. Of the
total white stock of foreign origin, which includes persons born abroad and also natives having one or both
parents born abroad, Canada contributed 67.8 per cent
. (French stock, 30.8, and all others, 37); Ireland, 10.2;
England, 5.1; Russia, 2.9; Scotland, 2.1; Italy, 1.9;
Sweden, 1.8; Germany, 1.3 per cent.
-The total numVoting and militia ages (Table 6).
ber of. males 21 years of age and over in 1910 was
235,727, representing 31.8 per cent of the population.
Of these, 67.8 per cent were native whites of native
parentage, 11.3 per cent native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage, 20.6 per cent foreign-born whites,
and 0.2 per cent negroes. Of the 48,464 foreign-born
white males of voting age, 14,994, or 30.9 per cent,
were naturalized. Males of militia age-18 to 44
numbered 151,325.
-Of the total population
Age (Tables 7, 8, and 12).
in 1910, 9.7 per cent were under 5 years of age, 17.7
per cent from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 17.1 per cent
from 15 to 24, 28.2 per cent from 25 to 44, and 27.1
per cent 45 years of age and over. The foreign-born
white population comprised comparatively few children, only 8.1 per cent of this class being under 15
years of age, while 73.9 per cent were 25 years of age
and over. Of the native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage, 32.1 per cent were 25 and over, and of
the native whites of native parentage, 57.6 per cent.
As compared with rural population, the urban
showed in 1910 a slightly larger proportion of persons
in the prime of life, 29.8 per cent of urban and 26.5 per
cent of rural being in the age groups 25 to 44 years.
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
persons of school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years,
inclusive-in 1910 was 195,197, of whom 132,082, or
67.7 per cent, attended school. In addition to these,
6,393 persons under6 and 2,356 of 21 and over attended
school. For boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the
percentage attending school was 67.1; for girls, 68.2.
For children from 6 to 14 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 89.2. The percentage
for children of this age among native whites of native
parentage was 90.3;.among native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage, 88.4; among foreign-born whites,
81; and for the 183 negro children aged 6 to 14, 90.7.
(See Table I.) There is little difference between
urban population and rural as regards school attendance for children of this age, but of those from 15 to
20 years,38.4 per cent in rural communities,as against
32.4 per cent in urban, were reported as attending
school.
Illiteracy (Table 10)
.-In 1910 there were 24,554 illiterates in the state, representing 4.1 per cent of the
total population 10 years of age and over, as compared


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

with 5.1 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy was 13.7 among foreign-born whites, 2 among
native whites, and 8 among negroes.
For the foreign-born whites the percentage of illiteracy was somewhat higher in urban communities than
in rural, but for each of the other elements the percentage of illiteracy was higher in rural than in urban
communities.
•
. For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive,
whose literacy depends largely upon present school
facilities and school attendance, the percentage of
illiteracy (2) was comparatively low. (See Table I.)
Marital condition (Tables 11 and 13).
-In the population 15 years of age and over in 1910, 34.6 per cent
of the males were single and 27.4 per cent of the
females. The percentage married was 57.8 for males
and 59.2 for females, and the percentage widowed 6.4
and 12.3, respectively. The percentages of those
reported as divorced, 1 and 0.9, respectively, are
believed to be too small, because of the probability
that many divorced persons class themselves as single
or widowed.
That the percentage single was so much smaller for
women than for men is due largely to the fact that
they marry younger. Thus 9.5 per cent of the females from 15 to 19 years of age were married, as
compared with 1.1 per cent of the males, and 46.7 per
cent of the females from 20 to 24 years were married,
as compared with 22 per cent of the males. In the
next age group,25 to 34 years, the difference was not
so great, the percentage being 73.8 for females and 62.4
for males,while in the age group 35 to 44 the difference
practically disappeared. That there was a larger proportion of widows than of widowers may indicate that
men more often remarry than women, but, since husbands are generally older than their wives,the marriage
relationship is more often broken by death of the
husband than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the percentages of married persons among those 15 years of age
and over in 1910 was as follows: Foreign-born whites,
62 for males and 66.6 for females; native whites of native parentage,59.4 and 59.3; native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage, 43.9 and 48.9; negroes,44.9 and 43.8.
These percentages by no means indicate the relative
tendency of the several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that, the comparison should be made by
age periods, since the proportion married in any class
is determined largely by the proportion who have
reached the marrying age. Similarly, the proportion
widowed depends largely on the proportion past middle life. The percentage married is slightly higher for
males and decidedly higher for females in rural than
in urban communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of dwellings in Maine in 1910 was 159,437, and the total number of families 177,960, there being 111.6 families to
each 100 dwellings. (See Table I.) The average number of persons per dwelling was 4.7, and the average
number per family, 4.2.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—This chapter presents a complete
statement of the statistics of agriculture for Maine
collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of farms
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 farmed 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 any
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
census definition, is a person who directs the operations of a farm.
Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according to the
Character 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 census
reports as "part owners," the term "owners" being then restricted
to those owning all their laud.
Farm tenants are farmers who, as tenants, renters, or croppers,
s
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-third, 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 are conducting farm operations for the
owner for wages or a salary.
Farm land.—Farm land is divided into (1) improved land, (2)
odland, and (3) all other unimproved land. The same classication was followed in
1880. At former censuses, except that of
1 880, farm land was
divided into improved land and unimproved
and, woodland being included with unimproved land. Improved

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation, land lying fallow,land in gardens, orchards,
vineyards, and nurseries, and land occupied by farm buildings.
Woodland includes all land cov,Ted with natural or planted forest
trees, which produce, or later may produce, firewood or other
forest products. All other unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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
were unable to make 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 duplication
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 products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
Maine ranks thirty-ninth in area and thirty-fourth
in population among the states of continental United
States. The river valleys are quite productive, but a
considerable part of the state is rugged and relatively
barren. One of these valleys contains the largest area
of fertile farming land in New England.
The two maps on the opposite page show, for the
different counties, the proportion of the total land
area which is in farms and the average value of farm
land per acre. Of the state's entire land area, onethird is in farms, and, as shown by the first map,in
three counties over four-fifths of the total land area
is in farms, while in two counties only does the proportion fall below one-fifth.

The average value of farm land per acre for the
whole state is $13.73, but, as shown by the second
map, the state has two areas of land worth less than
$10 per acre. They are separated by a third, in
which land values range from $10 to $25 per acre,
while still another in the northern part of the state
averages more than $25 per acre in value. In 1900
the average value for the state as a whole was $7.83.
Progress of the state during the decade 1900 to 1910.—
The following table summarizes, for the state, the
more significant facts relating to its population and
land area, the number, value, and acreage of its farms,
and the value of all other farm property in 1910 and

During the 10 years the increase in population was
47,905, or 6.9 per cent, while the number of farms increased 717, or 1.2 per cent. During the same period
there was a decrease of 3,087 acres in farm land,
accompanied by a decrease of 1.3 acres in the average
size of farms. It should be noted that during the
decade the percentage of increase in population was
nearly six times that in the number of farms.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings, implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic
animals, poultry, and bees), increased in value during
the decade nearly $77,000,000, or 62.8 per cent.
This increase is chiefly made up of advances of about
$26,000,000 in the value of buildings, and of over
837,000,000 in that of land—the latter representing
an advance of 75.4 per cent in average value per acre.
There is also an increase of almost $14,000,000 in the
value of farm equipment, including implements and
machinery and live stock, of which about three-fifths
represents a gain in the value of live stock and the
remainder the increase in the value of implements

and machinery. In considering the increase in values
in agriculture the general increase in the prices of all
commodities in the last 10 years should be borne in
mind.
The average value of a farm with its equipment in
1900 was less than $2,100, while 10 years later it was
over $3,300. The average value of land rose from
about $8 per acre in 1900 to nearly $14 in 1910, this
rise being accompanied by increases in the average
value per farm of implements and machinery and of
live stock.
Population, number of farms, and farm acreage:
1850 to 1910.—The table following presents, for the
state as a whole for each census from 1850 to 1910, inclusive, a statement of the total population, the number of farms, the acreage of farm land and of improved
land in farms, the percentage of the land area which
was in farms, and the percentage of farm land improved, and also shows the percentage of increase
during each decade in the number of farms and in the

one-tenth of 1 per cent.

In the 60 years since 1850 the population of the
state has increased by 159,202, or 27.3 per cent
There was an increase in the number of farms at
each census from 1850 to 18SO, the total increase during the 30-year period being 17,549. During the 20
years from 1880 to 1900, however, the number decreased 5,010, or an average of 250 per year. Since
1900 there has been an increase averaging 72 per year.
Washington and Hancock Counties show the largest
relative increase in number of farms during the last
decade, while several counties show decreases.
The land surface of Maine is approximately
19,132,800 acres. Of this area, 6,296,859 acres, or
32.9 per cent, are included in farms. Of the farm
acreage, 2,360,657 acres, or 37.5 per cent, are reported
as improved land, representing 12.3 per cent of the
total land area of the state.• The total acreage of farm
land decreased slightly during the last decade. The
reported acreage of improved land decreased from 1900
to 1910 by a slightly higher percentage than the total
acreage of farms, but the per cent of farm land improved was substantially the same in both census years.
The table given above shows also an increase from
1850 to 1880 in the total farm acreage and in the acreage
of improved land. Of the total land area of the state the
proportion which was occupied by farms rose during
this period from 23.8 per cent to 34.2 per cent, while
the proportion which improved land formed of the
total land in farms increased from 44.8 to 53.2. Since
1880, however, the proportion of the state's land area
which was included in farms decreased from 34.2 to
32.9 per cent. During the same 30-year period there
has been a continuous decrease in the reported acreage
of improved land, and a considerable net decrease in
the total acreage in farms. The decrease in acreage
of improved land doubtless represents a change in the
classification of land by many farmers, who now
report as "unimproved land" a considerable acreage
which was formerly reported as "improved." The
total farm acreage has shown a net decrease since 1880,
although it gained slightly between 1890 and 1900,
while during the last decade there has been a slight
decrease.

Prior to 1910 nonspecified tenants were included with cash tenants.

It is significant that while there was a net increase

decrease of 212 in the number of those operated by

In 1880 four out of every hundred farms were operated by tenants. The proportion in 1910 was exactly

Throughout the 30-year period the proportion of
Cash tenancy has been increasing. In 1880 it was

It will be seen that; in 1910, 93.9 per cent of all
land in farms was in farms operated by their owners
(including part owners), 2.5 per cent in farms operated
by managers, and 3.6 per cent in farms operated by
tenants, the percentage for managers being higher and
that for owners and for tenants lower than in 1900.
As shown by the next table, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (157.1 acres)
was about one and one-half times as great as that of
farms operated by owners (104.8 acres), which was in
turn somewhat larger than that of farms operated by
tenants (87.4 acres). The average size of farms operated by managers increased between 1900 and 1R10,
while that of farms operated by owners and by tenants
decreased. In 1910 the percentage of farm land im-.
proved was highest for farms operated by tenants, and
lowest for those operated by managers.

According to the foregoing figures the relative number of mortgaged farm homes,or of mortgaged farms,
occupied by their owners, has shown a net increase

considerably greater proportion than in 1890. During the last two decades the number of owned farms
has decreased 937, or 1.6 per cent, while the number

Includes all owned farm homes, estimates being made of value of farms and
amount of debt for all defective reports.

Of the farmers who report mortgage debt on farms
operated by them, 344 own only a part of their farms,
and 14,604 own all of their farms. Of the latter
.number 13,894 report the amount of their mortgage
debt, as well as the fact of indebtedness. In this


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

connection it should be noted that in 1890 as in 1910
there were many imperfect mortgage reports. At that
time the amount of mortgage debt for farms without
full reports was estimated according to the percentages and averages obtained from those with complete
reports. No such estimate is here made for 1910.
The average debt of mortgaged farms increased in
20 years from $532 to $845, or 58.8 per cent, while
the average value of such farms rose from $1,449 to
$2,863, or 97.6 per cent; thus the owner's equity increased from $917 to $2,018, or 120.1 per cent. As
a result of the greater increase in farm value than in
farm debt, the mortgage indebtedness, Which was
36.7 per cent of the value of the farm in 1890, has
decreased to 29.5 per cent of this value in 1910.

A minus sign(-)denotes decrease.

Considerably more than half of all the farms in
Maine are between 50 and 174 acres in size, and more
than one-fourth are under 50 acres in size. A study of
the distribution of farms by size groups discloses the
fact that the greatest actual and relative gains in number from 1900 to 1910 were made in the "3 to 9 acres"
group,though great increases, both actual and relative,
occurred also in the"10 to 19 acres" group. The number of places "under 3 acres" reported as farms is less
than one-third as great as 10 years ago. This decrease
may be due to a different interpretation by the enumerators as to what to include as a small farm, or may
represent an actual decrease in that type of farm.
Farms containing from 20 to 49 acres have increased
225, or 2.4 per cent. The farms which fall in each of
the groups between 50 and 174 acres have fallen off in
number, the aggregate decrease being 1,307, or 3.6 per
cent, while those between 175 and 499 acres show practically no change.
The next table shows the total and improved acreage and the value of land and buildings for farms
of various size groups, consolidating into one group
the farms of less than 20 acres (numbering in all
7,113), and also the farms of between 175 and 499
acres (numbering 8,293).

Color and nativity of farmers: 1910.
-Prior to the
Thirteenth Census no attempt was made in the census
of agriculture to secure information concerning the
nativity of farmers. The table which follows shows

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 33
per cent was in farms of 100 to 174 acres, and 32.4 per
cent in farms of 175 to 499 acres, these two being from
the standpoint of aggregate acreage the most important
size groups. The distribution of farm acreage by size
groups was about the same in 1910 as in 1900, the
most noteworthy change perhaps being the increase in
the proportion of the total acreage which was in farms
of 1,000 acres and over.
In general, as shown by the next 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 also diminishes with the increase in the size of
the farms; it is very much higher for the farms under
20 acres in size than for those of any other group.

Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

More than nine-tenths of the Maine farmers were
in 1910 native whites, and less than one-tenth foreignborn whites. Only 29, or less than 0.1 per cent of
all farmers, were other than white; these include 28
negroes and 1 Indian. Of the native-born white
farmers,94.2 per cent were owners; and of the foreignborn white farmers, 93.1 per cent.
Of the 4,973 foreign-born white farmers in Maine in
1910, 3,628 were born in Canada; 351 in Sweden; 277
in England; 174 in Ireland; 116 in Denmark; 106
in Scotland; and 100 in Germany. Other European
countries were represented by a total of 213 farmers,
and non-European countries, other than Canada, by 8.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS, POULTRY, AND BEES.
Domestic animals on farms: 1910.
-The census of
1910 was taken as of April 15, and that of 1900 as of
June 1. Since a great many domestic animals are
born during the six weeks between April 15 and June 1
and, on the other hand, a considerable number of older
animals are slaughtered or die during the same period,
the numbers of the different classes of animals for
the two censuses are not closely comparable, and the
same is true in somewhat less degree of the values.
For this reason the figures for 1900 are not presented


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

in this chapter, but in the general reports of the
census the figures for the several states will be presented and the extent to which their comparability is
affected by the change in the date of enumeration will
be discussed.
The next table summarizes the statistics of domestic animals on farms for the state, recorded as of
April 15, 1910. Cattle and sheep are divided into age
and sex groups, while horses, mules, and swine are
presented by age groups only.

third, and that of yearlings slightly more than onehalf, that of mature horses, which is $136.
Less than one farmer out of two hundred reports
mules, mule colts,asses,or burros. The average values
of mule colts are about the same as those of horse colts,
but mature mules are valued at one and one-half times
as much as mature horses.
Sheep and lambs are reported from 11,060 farms, or
18.4 per cent of all farms in the state. Of these 11,060
farms 58.1 per cent report spring lambs. The number
of the latter is 39.3 per cent of the number of ewes; this
comparatively small proportion is doubtless due to the
early date of enumeration. Ewes are reported from
all but 221 of the farms reporting sheep, and for the
farms reporting the average is 13 per farm. The farms
reporting rams and wethers show an average of more
than 2 per farm.
Of all farms, 41.4 per cent report swine, showing
an average of over 3 per farm. The average value of
the swine reported as "hogs and pigs born before
January 1, 1910," is nearly $15, while that of spring
pigs is less than one-third as much.
-Thefollowing table

the number of farms reporting each kind in 1910:

Goats

-tenth of 1 per cent.
1 Less than one

Of all the farms in the state, 79.4 per cent report
cattle, 78.2 per cent "dairy cows," and only 14.8 per
cent "other cows." Less than 2 per cent of the farms
reporting cattle have no dairy cows. The farms reporting dairy cows show an average of about three
per farm. The total number of cows decreased materially during the decade, while the average value of
dairy cows increased from $29.15 to $37.46.
The census of 1900 was taken as of June 1, after all
the spring calves were born; while that of 1910 was
taken as of April 15, before the close of the calving
season, and when the calves on hand were on the average younger than at the enumeration of 1900. As a
result the calves enumerated were fewer in number in
1910 than in 1900, the number decreasing from 61,794
to 31,901. The average value per head, however, increased from $6.65 to $7.20.
Horses are reported by 78.8 per cent of all the farms
in the state, but only 5.4 per cent report colts born in
1909, and only 0.5 per cent report spring colts. The
average value of spring colts is a little more than one-

The value of fowls on Maine farms increased in the
10 years, 1900 to 1910, from $756,000 to $1,132,000,
a gain of 49.7 per cent, while the corresponding increase
in the number of fowls is only 9.5 per cent. The number of farms reporting poultry decreased from 48,043
to 46,440, while the average number of fowls per farm
reporting increased from 33 to 37. The value of
poultry and the number of farms reporting were obtained in 1900 for the total of all fowls only, and not
for each kind, as in 1910.
Bees on farms: 1910 and 1900.
-The number of farms
reporting bees decreased from 2,496 in 1900 to 1,371 in
1910, or 45.1 per cent. The number of colonies of
bees decreased from 10,857 to 7,592, or 30.1 per cent,
and the value decreased from $51,500 to $40,400, or

The total value of all domestic animals in the state
in 1910 was $28,786,000, of which the value of animals not on farms represented 16.7 per cent. The
number of horses on farms was nearly four times
greater than the number not on farms.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.
The returns for live stock products obtained at the
census of 1910, like those for crops, relate to the production 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 further on,
the net 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.
-The next table
Dairy products: 1909 and 1899.
Shows the principal statistics relative to dairy products in 1909, with certain comparative statistics for
1899,
The number of farms reporting dairy cows on April
15, 1910, was 46,944, but only 42,885 reported dairy
products in 1909. That there should be this difference
IS not surprising. Doubtless some farmers 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
Which made any report of milk produced during 1909
was 37,591 (somewhat less than the total number


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

reporting dairy products), and the number of dairy
cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was 126,000.
The amount of milk reported was 56,026,000 gallons;
assuming that there were the same number of cows in
1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 445
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.

SUPPLEMENT FOR MAINE.

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,cream,
and butter fat sold and the reported value of butter
and cheese made, whether for home consumption or
for sale. The total thus obtained for 1909 is $8,080,000,
which may be defined as the total value of dairy
products exclusive of milk and cream used on the
farm producing.
Considerably less than one-fourth of the milk produced in Maine in 1910 was sold as such. A comparatively large quantity of milk and cream was sold on the
butter fat basis. The butter made on farms in 1'909
was valued at $3,786,000.
Comparisons are made between 1909 and 1899 for
but few of the census items relating to dairy products,
for the reason that in 1899 estimates were made for
farms with incomplete reports, which was not done
at the census of 1910. The figures for milk produced
and milk sold are particularly affected, but those for
butter and cheese are approximately comparable. The
table shows a material decrease between 1899 and 1909
in the amount of butter made, mid a still greater relative decrease in the production of cheese.

The total number of sheep of shearing age in Maine
on April 15, 1910, was 150,000, representing a de1 Farmers should be able in general to report the production of
wool more accurately than that of dairy products. There were,
however, 2,341 farmers who reported the possession of 18,004 sheep

produced in 1909. Probably in a large proportion of cases this failure
was due to the fact that they did not have these sheep, or did not
occupy the same farm, during the preceding year. The returns Of
farms reporting wool in 1909 but no sheep of shearing age on April
15, 1910, would partially make up this deficiency, but it is believed
that in many cases enumerators, having found that a farm had no
sheep in 1910, omitted the inquiry as to wool produced in 1909 and
thus missed more or less wool actually produced. It is a fairly safe
assumption that the entire production of wool in 1909 bore the same
relation to the entire number of sheep of shearing age on April 15,
1910, as the production of wool on those farms reporting both production and.sheep bore to the number of sheep
farms. Statistics for this group of farms are eiven reported on such
in

above assumption, is also given.

crease of 40.5 per cent as compared with the number
on June 1, 1900 (252,000). The approximate production of wool during 1909 was 157,000 fleeces, weighing
948,000 pounds, and valued at $266,000. Of these
totals about 5 per cent represents estimates. The
number of fleeces produced in 1909 was 39 per cent less
than in 1899. The average weight per fleece in 1909
was 6 pounds, as compared with 5.7 pounds in 1899,
and the average value per pound was 28 cents, as compared with 22 cents in 1899.
Goat hair and mohair: 1909 and 1899.
-Although
147 farmers reported 582 goats and kids on their
farms April 15, 1910, only 39 reported the production
of goat hair or mohair during 1909. These farmers
reported 168 fleeces, weighing 639 pounds and valued
at $207. Although the production is still unimportant,
some increase is shown over that in 1899. Many
farmers who have goats do not produce goat hair or
mohair, but it is believed that the report is somewhat
short of the actual production.

The total number of fowls on Maine farms on April
15, 1910, was 1,736,000. Of the 46,440 farms reporting fowls, 4,329 did not report any eggs produced in 1909, and 7,872 did not report any poultry
raised in 1909. The production of eggs actually reported for the year 1909 was 14,053,000 dozens, valued
at $3,568,000. According to the Twelfth Census reports, the production of eggs in 1899 was 13,304,000
dozens, the value being $2,038,000. The latter figures, however, are somewhat in excess of the actual
returns at that census, because they include estimates
made to cover those cases where the schedules reported
fowls on hand without reporting the production of

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
eggs. In order to make the returns for 1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar estimates
have been made, the method of estimate and the justification therefor being substantially the same as in the
case of wool. The total production of eggs in 1909,
including these estimates, was 14,936,000 dozens, valued at $3,792,000. The total production of poultry
in 1909, including estimates made on the same basis
as for eggs, was 2,602,000 fowls, valued at $1,455,000.
Honey and wax: 1909.—Although,as noted elsewhere,
1,371 farms reported 7,592 colonies of bees on hand
April 15, 1910, 533 of these farms, with 1,342 colonies
on hand April 15, 1910, made no report of honey
or wax produced in 1909. The actual returns
show the production of 112,051 pounds of honey, valued at $20,016, and 2,260 pounds of wax, valued at
$670 the true totals are doubtless somewhat above
these figures.
Sale or slaughter of domestic animals on farms: 1909
and 1899.—The next statement presents statistics relating to the sale or slaughter of domestic animals by
Maine farmers during the year 1909, with certain items
for 1899..
The total value of domestic animals sold during 1909
was $6,531,000, and that of animals slaughtered on
farms $1,889,000, making an aggregate of $8,420,000.
This total, however, involves considerable duplication
resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals which
had been purchased by the farmers during the same
year.
The value of the cattle (including calves) sold during
1909 represented nearly three-fifths of the total value
of all animals sold.

603

The census of 1900 called for the receipts from the
sale of all domestic animals raised on the farms reporting and the total value of those slaughtered during 1899, which amounted, respectively, to $2,372,000
and $1,259,000. The item of sale is not closely comparable with that for 1909, when the inquiry covered
all sales, whether of animals raised on the farms reporting or elsewhere. It is believed, however, that in
many cases the returns for 1899 also included receipts
from sales of animals not actually raised on the farm
reporting.

CROPS.
Summary: 1909 and 1899.—The next table summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing one
Year with the other it should be borne in. mind that
acreage is on the whole a better index of the general
changes or tendencies,of agriculture than either the
quantity or the value of the crops, since variations in
quantity may be due largely to temporarily favorable
or unfavorable climatic conditions, and variations in
the value of the crops are largely affected by changes
in prices. (See also discussion of "Total value of farm
Products.")
The total value of crops in 1909 was $39,318,000.
Of this amount,80 per cent was contributed by crops
for which the acreage,aswell as the value,was reported,
the remainder consisting of the value of by-products
(straw, garden and grass seals, etc.) derived from
the same land as other crops reported, or of orchard

fruits, nuts, forest products, and the like. The combined acreage of crops for which acreage was reported
was 1,588,065, representing 67.3 per cent of the total
improved land in farms (2,360,657 acres). Most of
the remaining improved land doubtless consisted of
improved pasture, land lying fallow, house and farm
yards, and land occupied by orchards and vineyards,
the acreage for which was not reported.
The general character of Maine agriculture is indicated by the fact that only 7.9 per cent of the total
value of crops in 1909 was contributed by the cereals,
while nearly two-fifths (38.4 per cent) was contributed
by hay and forage and nearly one-third (31.5 per
cent) by potatoes and other vegetables. The remainder, representing in value about 22 per cent of the
total, consisted mostly of forest products and fruits
and nuts.
The total value of crops in 1909 was 79.1 per cent
greater than that in 1899. This increase was clearly due
to higher prices, as the quantity of the most important

604

products decreased. There was an increase of 2.9 per
cent in the total acreage of crops for which acreage
was reported, but this was almost wholly due to the

increase in the acreage of potatoes and other vegetables, all the other crops of any importance having
decreased in acreage.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
Forest products: 1909 and 1899.—The census schedules for 1910 called for the "value of all firewood,
fencing material, logs, railroad ties, telegraph and
telephone poles, materials for barrels, bark, naval
stores, or other forest products cut or produced in
1909, whether used on farm, sold, or on hand April 15,
1910," and also, in a separate item,for the "amount
received from sale of standing timber in 1909." There
were 41,822 farms in Maine (69.7 per cent of all farms
In the state) which reported forest products in 1909,
the total value of such products being $5,573,763, as
compared with $2,652,252 in 1899, an increase of
110.2 per cent. Of the value in 1909, $2,046,488 was
reported as that of products used or to be used on
the farms themselves, $2,656,750 as that of products

607

sold or for sale, and $870,525 as the amount received
for standing timber. Forest products not produced
on farms are not included in this report.
Miscellaneous crops: 1909.—Straw and cornstalks
derived as by-products from the production of grain
and corn have a considerable value for feed and other
purposes. They are, however, mainly consumed on
the farms producing them. The Census Bureau made
no attempt to ascertain the total quantity or value of
these products, but the schedules called for the quantity and value of those sold during the year 1909. The
returns show that 1,138 farmers in Maine sold, during
1909, 4,948 tons of straw, for which they received
$31,455, and that 75 farmers sold 370 tons of cornstalks and leaves, for which they received $1,740.

SELECTED FARM EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS.
Farm expenses: 1909 and 1899.—The following table
shows the number of farms reporting expenditures for
labor,feed, and fertilizer at the census of 1910, as well
as the sums expended in 1909 and 1899:

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 sales as well as
the production of the more important feedable crops
(that is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock). The following table summarizes the data reported:

About one-fifth of the amount expended for labor
is in the form,of rent and board. During the decade
the total expenditure for labor increased 111.2 per
cent. Slightly more than three-fifths of the farmers
hire labor, and the average amount expended by the
farmers hiring is $151. At prior censuses no tabulation was made of the farmers making expenditure for
labor. Three farmers out of every four report some
expenditure for feed. Expenditure for fertilizer is

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of Maine for the calendar
Year 1909 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
Whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership, size of establishments,
number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of
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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries for the state as a
Whole. It also gives the same items for all industries
.
combined for the six cities having in 1910 a population of over 10,000 but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for Portland for all industries combined and selected industries, and for each city having from 10,000 to 50,000
Inhabitants for all industries combined.
Scope of census: Factory 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
ni 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 purPoses, 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 purporting 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 bulletins relative to the individual states.
The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory system, as distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries.
Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced to a


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 not the product of chief value.
Selected industries.—The three general tables at the end of this
chapter give the principal facts separately for the industries of the
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4) clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups:(1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and
managers, and clerks. In the present census an entirely different
(615)

616

SUPPLEMENT FOR MAINE.

grouping is employed: That into (1) proprietors and officials, (2)
clerks, and (3) wage earners. The first group includes proprietors
and firm members, salaried officers of corporations, and superintendents and managers.
At this census the number of persons engaged in the industries,
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 canning, 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 of wage earners the average is
obtained in the manner explained in the next paragraph.
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. From these figures
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 perform 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 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.
In particular, totals by sex and age for the wage earners reported
for the representative day would be misleading because of the undue
weight given to seasonal industries, in some of which, such as canning and preserving, the distribution of the wage earners by sex
and age is materially different from that in most industries of
more regular operation. In order to determine as nearly as possible the sex and age distribution of the average number of wage
earners in the state as a whole, the following procedure has been
adopted:
The percentage distribution by sex and age of the wage earners
in each industry, for December 15, or the nearest representative
day, has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that
date. This percentage has been applied to the average number
of wage earners for the year in that industry,to determine the average
number of men, women, and children employed. These calculated
averages for the several industries have been added up to give the
average distribution for the state as a whole.
In 1899 and 1904 the schedule called for the average number of
wage earners of each sex 16 years and over, and the total number
under 16 years of age, for each month, and these monthly statements were combined in an annual average. Comparatively few
manufacturing concerns, however, keep their books in such way as
to show readily the number of men, women, and children (under 16)•
employed each month. These monthly returns by sex and age
were, in fact, largely estimates. It was believed that a more
accurate and reliable sex and age distribution could be secured
by taking as a basis of estimate the actual numbers employed on a
single day.
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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

an establishment from 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 earners 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 figures 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:
The 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 taken at the amounts
carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact
should be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or
buildings is owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should
be so stated and only the value of the owned property given. Do
not include securities and loans representing investments in other
enterprises.
Materials.—Cost of materials refers to the materials used during
the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased
during the year. The term materials 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, or power, or for the process of manufacture.
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, and allowances for depreciation.
Value of products.—The 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 during 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 manufacture.—The 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 is
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 different classes of industry is the value created as
the result of the manufacturing 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 obtained is termed in the census reports "value added bY
manufacture."
There 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
created. 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 such power, the inch!'
sion 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

a
C

617

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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.
Litundries.—The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using
mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are not

included in the general total for manufacturing industries in order
to avoid interference with comparisons with prior censuses.
Custom sawmills and gristmills.—In order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those presented for 1904 the data for
these mills have been excluded from all the tables presenting
general statistics, and are given in a separate table at the end of
this chapter.

manufactures increased in volume to the full extent

1 Percentages are based on figures in Table I; a minus sign(-)denotes decrease. 1There the percentages are omitted,
comparable figures can not be given.

It should be borne in mind,in considering this table,
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication due to the
use of the product of one establishment in the industry
as material for another establishment.
Although five industries greatly predominate in
importance, reporting approximately two-thirds of
the average number of wage earners, value of products, and value added by manufacture, it will be seen
from Table II on page 636 that there is on the whole
considerable diversity in the manufacturing activities
of the state. The most important industries listed in
the table given above call for brief consideration.
•
Paper and wood pulp.
-The manufacture of paper
and wood pulp, which is the leading industry of the
state, measured by value of products, gave employment to an average of 8,647 wage earners in 1909, and
the value of its products amounted to $33,950,000.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

This industry contributed 19.3 per cent of the total
value of manufactures of the state in 1909, in which
year Maine reported 12.7 per cent of the total value of
paper and wood pulp products for the United States.
Lumber and timber products.-This industry, which
includes logging operations, sawmills, planing mills,
and factories manufacturing wooden packing-boxes,
was first in importance in the state in 1909 in number
of establishments, average number of wage earners,
and value added by manufacture, and second in value
of products. The utilization of forest products, one
of the earliest forms of manufacture in Maine, continues to be a most important factor in its industrial
activities.
Textiles.-Eight textile industries are represented in
Maine, namely, the manufacture of (1)cotton goods,including cotton small wares; (2) woolen, worsted, and
felt goods; (3) hosiery and knit goods; (4) silk goods,

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
including the operations of throwsters; (5) cordage
and twine; (6) shoddy; (7) fur-felt hats; and (8) the
dyeing and finishing of textiles. The manufacture of
cotton goods ranks third among the industries of the
state and the manufacture of woolen,worsted, and felt
goods, fourth. The other six industries are of comparatively little importance in the state.
From 1899 to 1904 the cotton-goods industry of the
state was practically stationary, the value of its products increasing only 5.3 per cent, but between 1904
and 1909 the increase in prices, the renewed activity
of the mills of the state, and the establishment of an
additional mill brought about an increase of 42.4 per
cent in this respect. In 1909 employment was given
to 14,634 wage earners, and the value of products
amounted to $21,932,000.
In 1909 the woolen, worsted, and felt-goods industry
in Maine embraced the operations of 55 woolen mills,
8 worsted mills, and 2 felt mills. No wool-hat establishments were reported. This industry as a whole
had a greater growth during the five years 1899-1904
than during the more recentfive-year period,1904-1909.
The output of the woolen- mills declined slightly
in the latter period, but the increased output of the
worsted mills resulted in a small gain for the combined
industry.
Boots and shoes, including cut stock and findings.—
The boot and shoe industry of the state remained practically stationary between 1899 and 1904, the value
of products and the amount paid in wages increasing only slightly and the number of persons employed
in the industry decreasing. From 1904 to 1909 the
value of products increased 23 per cent, but this
resulted chiefly from increased prices. The actual
output of boots, shoes, and slippers was considerably
smaller in 1909 than in 1899 and only slightly larger
than in 1904.
Canning and preserving.—This industry, which
includes the canning and preserving of fruits, vegetables, fish, and oysters, ranked sixth among the industries of the state in value of products in 1909, in which
year it gave employment to 3,850 wage earners and
reported products valued at $7,689,000.
Shipbuilding,including boat building.—The totals for
this industry as presented in Table I, page 633,show an
apparent increase in number of wage earners and value
of products in 1909 as compared with 1904. A proper
comparison of the totals for this industry, however,
is impracticable,since it was necessary to omit the statistics for one establishment from the figures for 1904
and those for two establishments from the figures for
1899 in order to avoid tip disclosure of individual operations. It may be stated, however, that if it were
Possible to include the statistics for the one establishment omitted in 1904 the totals for the industry would
show a large decrease in 1909 as compared with 1904.

In addition to the 28 industries presented separately
in the preceding table for which products valued at
more than $500,000 were reported, 4 other industries in
the state had a value of products in 1909 in excess of
this amount. These industries are included under the
head of "All other industries" in the table in some
cases because the operations ofindividualestablishments
would be disclosed if they were shown separately and
in others, because the returns do not properly present
the true condition of the industry, for the reason that
it is more or less interwoven with one or more other
industries. These industries are the manufacture of
paper bags, the dyeing and finishing of textiles, the
fertilizer industry, and the steel works and rolling mills.
Considerable change occurs in the relative importance of the leading industries of the state when measured by value added by manufacture instead of by
value of products. The lumber and timber products
industry becomes first, displacing the manufacture of
paper and wood pulp; the foundry and machine-shop
industry, which was seventh,changes places with canning and preserving, which was sixth; printing and
publishing advances from ninth to eighth place; marble
and stone work becomes ninth instead of eleventh; the
flour-mill and gristmillindustry drops from eighth place
to nineteenth, and the turning and carving of wood
advances from fifteenth place to eleventh place.
The preceding table also shows the percentages of

increase for these leading industries in respect to value
of products and value added by manufacture in all
cases where comparative statistics can be given. The
manufacture of copper, tin, and sheet-iron products
shows greater rates of increase in value of products for
both five-year periods, and in value added by manufacture from 1904 to 1909, than any other industry
listed in the table. The cooperage and wooden-goods
industry made the greatest increase in value added
by manufacture from 1899 to 1904.
Four of the industries listed separately—the tanning,
currying, and finishing of leather, the manufacture of
leather goods, the brick and tile industry, and the
manufacture of furniture and refrigerators—show a
decrease in value of products from 1904 to 1909, while
two of these, the.brick and tile and the furniture and
refrigerator industries, together with three others,
show a decrease in this respect from 1899 to 1904.
Eleven show a decrease in value added by manufacture
from 1904 to 1909, and seven a decrease from 1899 to
1904.
Persons engaged in manufacturing industries.—The
next table shows, for 1909, the distribution of the
number of persons engaged in manufactures, the average number of wage earners being distributed by sex
and age. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the sex and age classification of the average number of
wage earners in this and other tables is an estimate
obtained by the method described in the Introduction.

Of the total number of persons engaged in all manufacturing industries, 6.4 per cent were proprietors and
officials, 3.2 per cent clerks, and 90.4 per cent wage
earners. The highest percentage of proprietors and
officials shown for any individual industry, 48.6, is for
the flour mills and gristmills, which are generally small
and in which the work is to a large extent performed

by the proprietors themselves or with the assistance
of comparatively few wage earners. Similar conditions also prevail, although to a less extent, in the
bakery and in the printing and publishing industries.
The smallest proportion of proprietors and officials,
six-tenths of 1 per cent, is shown for the cotton-goods
industry, in which the number of wage earners per

establishment is very large and all the establishments are under corporate ownership. The proportions of proprietors and officials is also very small in
the boot and shoe factories, railroad repair shops, paper
mills, and woolen and worsted mills.
The following table shows, for 1909,in percentages,
for all industries combined, the distribution of the
average number of wage earners by age periods, and
of those 16 years of age and over by sex, calculated
in the manner described in the Introduction. It also
shows, for some of the important industries separately,
a similar distribution of wage earners as reported for
December 15, or the nearest representative day. As
a means of judging the importance of the several industries the average number employed for the year is
also given in each case.

For method of estimating the distribution, by sex and age periods, of the average number in all industries combined,see Introduction.

For all industries combined, 75.8 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of age and over; 22.5 per cent females 16 years of age
and over; and 1.7 per cent children under the age of 16.
Of the total number of female wage earners 16 years
of age and over in the manufacturing industries of the
state in 1909,38 per cent were employed in the cottongoods industry, in which the women constituted 46.6
per cent of all the wage earners. Exceptionally high
proportions of women wage earners were reported for
several industries shown in Table II; in the women's
clothing industry they formed 86.3 per cent and in
the men's clothing industry, 77.3 per cent of the total.
Women were also employed to a relatively large extent
in several other important industries, representing
42.8 per cent of the total in the canning and preserving industry, 37.3 per cent in printing and publishing,
35.5 per cent in the manufacture of woolen, worsted,
and felt goods, and 33 per cent in the boot and shoe
industry. There are no important industries where
children under 16 years of age are employed to anY

1909 males 16 years of age and over formed 75.8 per

considerable extent, with the exception of the cotton
mills, where employment was given to 850, or 61.3
per cent of the total number of children employed in
the factories of the state.
In order to compare the distribution of persons
engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at
the census of 1904 it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison

Wage earners employed, by months.-The following
table gives the number of wage earners employed on
the 15th of each month during the year 1909, for all
industries combined, for the canning and preserving
and the lumber and timber industries, and for all
other industries combined; it gives also the percentage which the number reported for each month is
of the greatest number reported for any month. The
wage earners for the lumber industry are divided in
the table in such a manner as to show separately
the number engaged in the mills and in the logging
operations. In Table II, page 636, are shown, for
practically all of the important industries in the state,
the largest number and the smallest number of wage
earners reported for any month. The figures are for
the 15th day, or the nearest representative day, of
the month.

Comparable figures are not obtainable for 1899.
The table shows that the greatest percentage of increase was in the salaried employees.
The table in the next column shows the average
number of wage earners distributed according to age
periods, and in the case of those 16 years of age and
over according to sex, for 1909, 1904, and 1899. The
averages for 1909 are estimated on the basis of the
actual number reported for a single representative
day. (See Introduction.) This table indicates that
for all industries combined there has been both an
actual and relative decrease during the 10 years in the

Slightly more than one-half of the wage earners
employed in the manufacturing industries of Maine
were reported from establishments where 60 hours
ordinarily constitute a week's work, this high proportion resulting principally from the more or less general
prevalence of the 60-hour week in the cotton and
woolen mills and the lumber and canning industries.
Twenty-eight and five-tenths per cent of the wage
earners were in establishments where the usual hours
of labor were 54 but less than 60 a week, 11 per cent
in establishments where they were less than 54 a week,
and only 8.4 per cent in establishments where they were
more than 60 a week. The greater part of the wage
earners in the boot and shoe,foundry and machine-shop,
and shipbuilding industries were in plants where the
prevailing hours were between 54 and 60 a week. The
majority of the wage earners in the agricultural-implement, the marble and stone work, and the tobaccomanufactures industries worked 48 hours or less per

-The next table shows
the extent to which the manufactures of Maine are
carried on in cities of 10,000 inhabitants or over.
(See Introduction.) The comparison is confined here
as in other states, to the years 1899 and 1909, in the
absence of a Federal census of population by which
the grouping of cities in 1904 could be determined.
In 1909 the seven cities having over 10,000 inhabitants contained 22.4 per cent of the total population
of the state, and reported 31.8 per cent of the average
number of wage earners engaged in manufactures and
29.2 per cent of the total value of manufactured products. Several of the more important industries of the
state, including the manufacture of paper and wood
pulp, lumber and timber products, canning, and the
manufacture of woolen goods, are carried on principally
outside of this class of cities.

In 1900 the group of cities having over 10,000 inhabitants comprised the first six cities named in the
next table, together with Bath, which, owing to a
decrease in population, was not included in this group
in 1910. Waterville had less than 10,000 inhabitants
in 1900, so that for 1899 its statistics are not included
with those for this class of cities. Owing, however, to
the relatively small difference between the totals for
the manufacturing industries of Bath and Waterville,
the change in the composition of the group of cities
has had little effect upon its proportions of the various
totals for the state.
The population in 1910 and 1900 of the seven cities
Which had 10,000 inhabitants or over in 1910, and of
the one city which had over 10,000 inhabitants in
1900 but less than that number in 1910, is given in the

Every city for which comparative figures are given,
except Bangor, shows an increase in value of products
from 1904 to 1909, and all show increases from 1899
to 1904. In general, the percentages of increase were
greater from 1904 to 1909. During this later period
the greatest relative gain, 38 per cent, was made by
Auburn, this being due chiefly to the increased activity
in the boot and shoe industry. In spite of the fact
that decreases were reported for a large number
of the industries in Portland, this city showed the
second largest relative gain in the state, 30.9 per cent.
The decrease in Bangor from 1904 to 1909 was due
to the decline of the boot and shoe industry in this
city. In 1899 Lewiston ranked first in value of manufactured products, but by 1904 Portland had taken
first place, which it retained in 1909.
Portland is the largest and most important city in
the state. The lumber and timber products, foundry
and machine-shop, and printing and publishing industries were the leading industries in the city. About
three-fourths of the total value of products of the
women's clothing industry for the state, four-fifths of
that for the confectionery industry, and three-fifths
of that for the manufacture of patent medicines and
compounds and druggists' preparations were reported
from this city.
Lewiston and Biddeford owe their importance to
the manufacture of cotton goods, which contributed
66.4 and 68.2 per cent, respectively, of the total value
of the manufactured products of the two cities. In
Auburn the manufacture of boots and shoes was the
principal industry, the value of products of this industry forming 71.4 per cent of the total value of the
manufactured products of the city. Of the total value
of products for this industry in the state, 40.7 per cent
was reported from Auburn.
In 1904 printing and publishing was the principal
industry of Augusta, with the manufacture of cotton
goods second,but in 1909 these positions were reversed.
The value of tho products of these two industries

formed 60.6 per cent of the value of the manufactured
products of this city in 1909.
Although Waterville showed an increase in value
of manufactured products from 1904 to 1909, there
was a decrease in the average number of wage earners.
In this city the cotton-goods industry led in value of
products, with steam-railroad repair shops second.

Although less than one-fourth of the total number
of manufacturing establishments were under corporate ownership in 1909, these establishments reported
more than three-fourths of the total value of products,
the proportion being considerably larger than in 1904.
The establishments under individual ownership formed
54.2 per cent of the total number in 1909, but reported
only 10.7 per cent of the total value of products.
This class of establishments and those under firm
ownership show decreases both in average number of
wage earners employed and in value of products between 1904 and 1909.
Size of establishment.
-The tendency of 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 and for certain

important industries separately, as measured by num"
ber of wage earners, value of products, and value
added by manufacture. The totals for all industries are shown for the last two censuses, While
for the individual industries figures are given for 1909
only.
The cotton-goods industry is not shown in this
table or the one preceding, because all the establishments were under corporate control in 1904 and 1909.
In the latter year one establishment reported products
valued at less than $100,000, seven, products valued
at between $100,000 and $1,000,000; and eight
,
products exceeding $1,000,000 in value.
Of the 3,546 manufacturing establishments in the
state in 1909, only 25, or seven-tenths of 1 per cent)
had a value of products exceeding $1,000,000. These
establishments, however, employed an average 0f

1 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

Of the total number of wage earners, 42.2 per cent
were in establishments employing over 250 wage
earners. The single group having the largest number of wage earners was the group comprising the
establishments employing over 1,000 wage earners
each. These establishments employed an aggregate of
16,882 wage earners, or 21.1 per cent of the total.
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. Facts of interest, however, can be brought
out concerning the relative importance of the different classes of expenses which make up the total. The
table in the next column 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 II, page 636.

All forms of owned primary power, except "Other"
Power, show marked increases for the decade. More
t
i han half of the total primary power was developed
°Y the use of water wheels. The increase in such
Power during the decade was 97,692 horsepower, or
61.5 per cent, but the proportion which it formed of
the total decreased from 61.3 per cent in 1899 to 55.8
Per Cent in 1909. Steam power shows an increase of
per cent for the decade, but represented a
!lightly smaller proportion of the total in 1909 than
14 1904, although a somewhat larger proportion

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

than in 1899. The horsepower generated by gas
engines increased 80.6 per cent between 1899 and
1909, but still forms an insignificant proportion of the
total. Rented electric power shows an increase of
19,631 horsepower, or 259.3 per cent, for the decade
as a whole, and 19,142 horsepower, or 237.5 per cent,
for the five-year period 1904-1909. As a result of
this rapid increase such power formed 5.9 per cent of
the total primary power in 1909, as compared with 2.3
per cent in 1904 and 2.9 per cent in 1899.
The use of electric motors for applying power by
means of current generated in the establishment is
increasing rapidly, the horsepower of such motors in
1909 being more than twelve times as great as in 1899.
Fuel.-Closely related to the question of kind of
power employed is that of fuel consumed in generating this power, or otherwise used as material in the
manufacturing processes. The table following shows
the quantity of each kind of fuel used in 1909 for all
industries combined and for certain selected industries:

SUPPLEMENT FOR MAINE.
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects, by
means of special schedules, details regarding the quantity and cost of materials and the quantity and value
of products and other information for securing which
no provision is made on the general schedule. Data
of this character for six important industries in Maine
are here presented.
-The table following shows
Paper and wood pulp.
for this industry, for 1909, 1904, and 1899, the quantity and cost of the materials used, the quantity and
value of the different products, and the character and
capacity of equipment.
The statistics for the paper and w6od-pulp industry
covers three classes of establishments, namely,
those making pulp only, those making paper only,
and those making both pulp and paper. In determining the cost of materials for this industry the
materials of all three classes of establishments are
added, although the product of the pulp mills becomes
the material for the paper mills. Similarly, the value
of products for the industry as a whole includes the
products as disposed of for all three classes of establishments. The totals for cost of materials and value
of products for the combined industry include, therefore, a considerable element of duplication. Undoubtedly a large part of the cost of wood pulp
purchased represents a duplication in the cost of
materials, and a large part of the value of "wood pulp
produced for sale or for consumption in mills other
than where produced" represents a duplication in the
value of products.
Pulp wood is the most important of the materials,
representing more than one-third of the cost of all
materials used in the industry in 1909. In 1909 the
mills of Maine consumed 903,962 cords of pulp wood,
nearly three times the quantity used in 1899. Of
this wood,718,532 cords were spruce (166,500 cords of
which were imported), 123,052 cords were poplar,
10,954 cords were hemlock, and 2,737 cords were of
other species, and 48,687 cords were slab wood and
other mill waste. Next to pulp wood the largest cost
was reported for "All other materials," which includes such items as fuel, chemicals, clay, freight,
etc. Rags,and old and waste paper formed a comparatively unimportant part of the materials, since practically the entire production of paper in the state was
confined to those kinds in which wood fiber was the
principal material.
The quantity of all kinds of paper produced in 1909
was 574,215 tons, as compared with 385,999 tons in
1904 and 207,281 tons in 1899. Each class of paper
products shows a decided increase in output during
the five years 1904-1909.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Of the wood pulp produced in 1909, ground wood
pulp represented 52.2 per cent, soda fiber 12.7 per
cent, and salphite fiber 35 per cent. Of the wood pulp
produced for sale, ground pulp formed 55.1 per cent,
soda fiber 21.2 per cent, and sulphite fiber 23.7 per
cent. The total quantity of wood pulp produced
for sale increased 15.6 per cent from 1904 to 1909.
This gain was wholly in the ground pulp, since there
was a decrease in soda and in sulphite fiber.

The cost of raw cotton formed 82.9 per cent of the
total cost of all materials used in 1909, 85.1 per cent in
1904, and 77.6 per cent in 1899. The amount of foreign cotton used is comparatively small, forming less
than 1 per cent of the total in 1909, 1904, and 1899,
and showing a decrease for the decade.
Brown or bleached sheetings and shirtings showed
the greatest value of any class of products in 1909 as
in 1904; the output of these fabrics increased 20.5 per
cent,and their value 29.4 per cent,during the five-year
period. Plain cloths for printing or converting show
increases of 19.4 per cent in quantity and 53 per cent
in value, and twills and sateens increases of 44.3 per
cent in quantity and 94.2 per cent in value. Yarns
made for sale is the only class of products showing
a decrease in output during the five-year period; notwithstanding this decrease, however, an increase of 9.4
per cent was reported in their value.
Woolen, worsted, and felt goods.1-The quantity and
cost of the different materials used in this industry and
the quantity and value of the principal products are
given in the next table.
The cost of wool, both foreign and domestic, formed
44.7 per cent of the total cost of materials in 1909;
that of cotton, 2.2 per cent; that of shoddy, 4.3 per
cent; that of waste and noils, 6.4 per cent; that of
The title of this industry in the tables, being uniform for all
states, is "Woolen, worsted, and felt goods, and wool hats," but in

cent; and other products, together with contract work,
3.1 per cent. The quantity of all-wool woven goods
shows a gain of 2,090,777 square yards in 1909 as
compared with 1904, and a decrease of 123,436 square
yards in 1909 as compared with 1899. The relative
importance of the union or cotton-mixed woven goods
has decreased, such fabrics representing only 10.4 per
cent of the total value of products for the industry
in 1909, as contrasted with 18.2 per cent in 1904 and
19.1 per cent in 1899. Among the partly manufactured goods produced for sale, worsted yarns and tops
show the striking increase in quantity of 230.6 per cent
between 1904 and 1909. These partly manufactured
articles represent a certain amount of duplication,
because, although they are the products of one set of
mills,they become the materials of other establishments
within the industry.

MINES AND QUARRIES.
Introduction.—The present chapter contains a complete statement of the statistics of mines and quarries
in the state of Maine for the calendar year 1909 as
shown by the Thirteenth Census. In Maine the principal mining industry is the quarrying of granite.
A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
adning industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
•Scope of census.—The Thirteenth Census covered all classes of
mines and quarries that were in operation during any portion of the
Year 1909, both those which were producing and those whose operations were confined to development work. The following operawore omitted from the canvass: The digging or dredging of
Sand and gravel for the construction of roads and for building operations, and the production of mineral waters. Where the mineral products are not marketed in their crude condition, but are
dressed, washed, or refined at the mine or quarry, the statistics of
Inining cover the entire work of obtaining the crude material and
lta preparation for the market.
Number of operators.—As a rule, the unit of enumeration was the
'Operator." Every individual, firm, or corporation was required
to furnish one report for all mines, quarries, or wells which were
Operated under the same management, or for which one set of books
of account was kept. Where the operations of one individual, firm,
or Corporation covered more than one class of mines and quarries,
a seParate report was received for each industry.
Number of mines and quarries—This figure represents the total
'lumber of mines and quarries in operation or in the course of development at any time during the calendar year 1909, or the business year that corresponds most nearly to that calendar year.
Ixpenses of operation and development.—A certain amount of
development work is incidental to the operation of every mine.
,..
ne expenses reported for producing mines include the cost both
of Operation and of development work which was done in connection
With operation.
Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
e• re obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the
united States Geological Survey, but the two bureaus follow dif„
Iverent methods in presenting these statistics. The Geological Surshows separately the value of each mineral product, whereas
_'tke Bureau of the Census presents the value of products of each
Tilling industry. The value of products given for a mining industcrY
d often includes the value of some products not covered by the in•
tIstrY designation. The value of products for 1909 in most cases
_presents the value of the products marketed during that year,
t
u...the value of those produced during the year.

for the 15th of each month. The data as to persons employed
obtained at the census of mines and quarries of 1902 are not comparable. Because of the very common practice of working mines
only a part of the year, it is impossible to ascertain with a satisfactory degree of accuracy the average number of employees—that
is, the number who if continuously employed would be required
to produce the actual output of the year.

Summary.—Statistics of the producing mining enterprises in the state of Maine are presented at the
close of this chapter in Table 6, which gives statistics
for all industries combined and for important industries separately.
Table 6 shows that the number of producing mines
and quarries in the state in 1909 was 102, of which
89 were granite quarries. The total value of the products of all mining enterprises in Maine in 1909 was
$2,056,063. Of this amount the granite quarries contributed $1,761,801, or 85.7 per cent, the greater part
of the remainder being contributed by the slate quarries. Besides giving details for all producing enterprises combined, Table 6 gives similar information
with regard to the granite, slate, and feldspar quarries separately, but in most of the other tables separate statistics are given for granite quarries only.
Character of ownership.—As shown in Table 1, out
of 97 operators of producing mining enterprises in the
state of Maine, 26 were corporations. These corporations, however, reported 69.7 per cent of the total
value of the products of the state, and employed 70.6
per cent of all wage earners.

than 20 wage earners each. These enterprises, however, reported 80 per cent of the total number of wage
earners employed in all producing mining enterprises
in the state. More than half of this total number of
wage earners were in the seven enterprises which employed from 101 to 500 wage earners each.

Engines and power.
-The aggregate horsepower employed in producing enterprises, as shown in Table 4,
was 8,141, of which 7,671 horsepower was developed
by engines and water wheels owned by the enterprise
using them, and 470 by electric motors operated by
purchased current.

Prevailing hours of labor.
-In Table 3 all producing
enterprises, except those which employed no wage
earners,have been classified according to the prevailing
hours of labor per day in each enterprise. The table
shows the percentage of the total number of enterprises falling into each group, and also a per cent distribution in which each enterprise has been given a
weight according to the total number of wage earners
employed December 15, 1909, or the nearest representative day. It should be distinctly borne in mind
that this latter distribution does not show the proportion of the total number of wage earners working
the specified number of hours per day, since in many
cases some of the employees work a greater or less
number of hours than those generally prevailing in the
enterprise. Enterprises in which the prevailing hours
were eight and under constituted 58.9 per cent of all
enterprises in 1909 and employed 73.8 per cent of the
wage earners.

Development work.
-In addition to the 97 operators
of producing enterprises in 1909 there were 3 operators who reported the expenditure of $13,474 on
properties which did not reach the productive stage
during the year.
Comparison of mining industries:1902-1909.
-In order
to make a comparison between the census of 1909 and
the preceding census of mines and quarries,that of 1902,
it is necessary to include for 1909figures for the burning
of lime, which was included in the report on mines and
quarries for 1902, but classified as a manufacturing industry in 1909. In any case, only the few items specified in Table 5 can be 'compared for the two years.

both for manufactures and for mining. As a result
of this fact the combined value of products for the
manufacturing and mining industries of Maine involves
a duplication of $1,787,056.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election
Massachusetts by counties and minor civil divisions, precincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank
as enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of next to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In many instances, however,these primary divisions contain
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of popu- political units of still smaller area, such as cities, incorporated
lation where possible, and a statement and discussion villages, towns, or boroughs. These smaller political units are
for the state as a whole of the population living in referred to as secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population deflned.—The Census Bureau, for
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that
in detail in two general tables.
residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabTable 1 (p. 574)shows the population of Massachu- itants or more. In the New England States, in addition to cities
setts, distributed according to counties and minor civil having this population, all towns having a population of 2,500
divisions, at the last three Federal censuses, namely, or more have also been classed as urban, without regard to the
those of 1910, 1900, and 1890. The arrangement of population of the villages (whether incorporated as such or not)
counties and of the minor civil divisions in each which they may contain. The result is that the "urban areas"
in New England include some population which in other sections
county is alphabetical. All divisions of counties in of the United States would be segregated as "rural."
This
Massachusetts are primary divisions. The changes in departure from the general rule, rendered necessary by local conboundaries, name, or form of organization that have ditions in New England, probably makes no great change in the
taken place since 1900 are indicated in the footnotes proportions of urban and rural population in those sections where
to the table. For changes between 1890 and 1900 population is dense and generally devoted to manufacturing. In
reference must be made to the census report of 1900. other sections a considerable variation doubtless results, but there
Table 2 (p. 578) shows the cities of Massachusetts is no reason to suppose that it materially affects the distinguishing
characteristics of urban and rural population as defined by census
and also the towns having, in 1910, 2,500 inhabitants statistics. Urban population being thus defined,
the remainder of

therefore, the rural population consists of the population outside of
The population of Massachusetts, by counties, at towns and cities having 2,500 inhabitants or more. Such populaeach of the last five Federal censuses, from 1870 to tion in Massachusetts is located wholly in towns.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
1910, inclusive; the increase during the last two decthat at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
ades; the density of population at the census of 1910; varying proportions of the two classes at successive
enumerations
and the distribution of the population at the last two or with respect to the increase between enumerations. In order
Federal censuses according to urban and rural districts to contrast the proportion of the total population living in urban
or rural territory at the census of 1910 with the proportion urban
are given in Table I of Chapter 2.
The census usage in regard to certain terms is or rural at the preceding census, it is necessary to classify
the territory according to the conditions as they existed at each

Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units, which bear different designations in the

In this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants
in 1900 and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population
for 1900 and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order
to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as regards their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider the

HISTORICAL NOTE.—Massachusetts takes its name from the Massachusetts
Indians, a tribe which,
at the time of the settlement of the colony, lived along the
shores of
Massachusetts Bay. The original significance of the word In the Indian
tongue was Probably
"at the great hills," although other definitions have been
suggested by different
writers.
The region now
constituting Masswhusetts was included in the grants made in
the patent of
"Acadie" to the Sieur de Monts (French, 1603), the first charter of
Virginia(English,
1606),and thecharter of New England(1620). The English claim
to this region was
based on the discovery of the mainland of North America by
the Cabots toward
the close of the fifteenth century. The first permanent settlement was made by
the Pilgrims, a band of about 100 Englishmen, who, landing at
Plymouth in December,
1620, founded the Plymouth Colony.' Between 1622 and
1628 several
scattered settlements were made in and near Boston Ilarbor.
In 1628 the first
permanent settlement in the colony of Massachusetts Bay was
established, when a few
settlers at Salem were found and joined by a party of
English Puritans under
the leadership of John Endicott, one of the proprietors of
a land company
which had obtained a grant extending from a line 3 miles north
of the River
Merrimac to a line 3 miles south of the River Charles, and from the
Atlantic westward to the
"South Sea." A charter for this territory was obtained
from Charles I in the
following year.

The charter of New England was surrendered to the Crown in 1635.
In 1684 the charter of Massachusetts Bay colony was declared forfeited, and the
government was later placed in the hands of a royal governor and council. A new
charter was granted in 1691,by the terms of which Massachusetts Bay, the colony
of New Plymouth, the province of Maine, and the territory called Acadia or Nova
Scotia were united under the name of Massachusetts Bay. This charter went into
effect in the following year.
An agreement between Massachusetts and New York regarding the eastern
boundary of the latter colony was reached in 1773, but the line was not finally
adjusted until 1787.
Massachusetts was one of the original thirteen states.
After the close of the Revolution (1783) Nova Scotia remained in the possession
of England. In 1785 Massachusetts ceded to the United States all claims, based
on its early charters, to territory west of New York. In 1820 Maine became a
separate state. After these modifications the area of Massachusetts was substantially as at present, although minor changes in its boundaries have since been
made.
According to censuses taken prior to the first Federal census, in 1790, the population or the colony of Massachusetts at different dates was as follows: 1764, 245,718;
1776, 291,147; 1784 (partly estimated), 346,653.

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

changes in population for the same territory which have occurred
from one decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory which in 1910 was urban or rural, as the case may be, is taken
as the basis, and the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing effect on comparisons which would arise from the passage,
for example, of communities formerly classed as rural into the urban
group. These two distinct forms of comparison are made in Table
I of Chapter 2 for the state as a whole and for each county separately for the last two Federal censuses.

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION.
Population of the state.—The population of Massachusetts is 3,366,416. Compared with a population
of 2,805,346 in 1900, this represents an increayse during
the last decade of 561,070, or 20 per cent. During
the same period the total population of the United
States increased 21 per cent. The percentage of increase for the state during this decade is smaller

than that shown at any Federal census since 1870.
The following table shows the population of Massachusetts at each Federal census from 1790 to 1910,
inclusive, together with the increase and per cent
of increase during each decade, in comparison with
the per cent of increase for the United States as a
whole.

I Includes population (4)specially enumerated.

It will be noticed from this table that the earlier
censuses showed a somewhat smaller rate of increase
of population for the state than have the later ones.
From 1790 to 1840 the average rate of increase per
decade was 14.3 per cent; since 1840 the average rate
of increase has been 24.3 per cent. During the 90
years from 1790 to 1880 the absolute increase in the
population of the state was 1,404,298, while during
the 30 years since 1880 the gain has been 1,583,331.
A comparison of the rates of increase for the state
with those for the United States, as given in the preceding table, shows that from 1790 to 1880 the increase
during each decade was much less rapid for the state
than for the country as a whole, except for the
decade from 1860 to 1870, when the rate of increase
for the state was only about 4 per cent less than that
for the whole country, and for the decade from 1840
to 1850, when the two rates were nearly equal. From
1880 to 1900 the state grew in population faster than
the country as a whole; and during the last decade
the increase for the state has been at a rate only 1 per
cent below that for the United States. The population of the state in 1910 was a little less than nine
times as large as in 1790, when the First Census was
taken, while the population of the United States in
1910 was more than twenty-three times that in 1790.
In 1790 Massachusetts had 37.5 per cent of the
total population of New England,which was 1,009,408.

Massachusetts decreased steadily until 1830 when it
was 31.2 per cent. Since 1830 it has increased steadily
until,in 1910, in an aggregate population of 6,552,681
in the New England States,Massachusetts was represented by 51.4 per cent. Since the First Census the
population of the New England States has increased
more than six times, while that of Massachusetts
has increased nearly nine times.
Principal cities.—Massachusetts has 33 cities.
Twenty-four of the cities have a population of 25,000
or more. There is also 1 town, Brookline, which has
over 25,000 inhabitants. Boston, the largest city, has
a population of 670,585, while Worcester, the second
city, has a population of 145,986. Cambridge, Fall
River, and Lowell are the only other cities in the
state
having over 100,000 inhabitants. There are
7 cities
having from 50,000 to 100,000 inhabitan
ts, and 12
from 25,000 to 50,000. There are 9 cities
having from
10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants, the smallest
of these
being Marlborough, with a population of
14,579.
Table 2 shows the population in 1910 of all the
cities
of the state with comparative figures, where
possible,
for 1900 and 1890. The table on page 569 shows the
population of the 24 cities having in 1910 over 25,000
inhabitants, at each Federal census since their organization as towns, and of Brookline town, so far as figures are availabre, together with the increase during
each decade.

the lowest, 10.4 per cent, while Chelsea shows a decrease of 4.8 per cent. Boston, while having an absolute increase in population from 1900 to 1910 of more
than 100,000, has a lower percentage of increase than
for any previous decade. Worcester also shows a much
reduced percentage of increase,the rate during the past
decade being less than for any other since 1820. Of

The population of the state classified as urban in
1910 is contained in 33 cities and 119 towns. The
groups of places having 25,000 inhabitants or more
comprise 24 cities and 1 town. The group of places
having from 10,000 to 25,000 population comprises 9
cities and 21 towns. The other groups of urban places
are made up of 97 towns of 2,500 to 10,000 inhabitants.
The rural territory of the state consists of 202 towns of
less than 2,500 inhabitants.
The urban territory of the state in 1910-that is, the
cities and towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 3,125,367 inhabitants, or 92.8 per cent of the
total population, while 241,049 inhabitants, or 7.2 per
cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory as
it existed in 1900-that is, the cities and towns then
having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 2,567,098
inhabitants, or 91.5 per cent of the total population,
While 238,248 inhabitants, or 8.5 per cent, lived in
rural territory. There has thus been a slight increase
in the proportion of urban population. . For the United
States as a whole the urban population constituted
46.3 per cent of the total population in 1910 and 40.5.
per cent of the total population in 1900.
A comparison of the figures for 1910, 1900, and 1890,
as given in the above table, shows that there has been
a marked increase in the proportion of the population
in the combined groups comprising cities of 100,000
inhabitants or more, namely,from 20 per cent in 1890

to 28 per cent in 1900 and 34.1 per cent'in 1910, and
that there have been fluctuations in the proportions in
the three groups comprising cities and towns of 10,000
to 100,000 inhabitants, while a decrease has occurred
in the proportions in each group of smaller urban places
as well as in rural territory.
Table I of Chapter 2 shows 11 counties which had a
larger proportion of urban population in 1910 than
in 1900. Suffolk County, the most populous county
in the state, is wholly urban, while the proportion of
urban population is also very high in Middlesex and
Essex Counties, which rank next in total population.
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 and
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 basis and the
aggregate population in 1910 and in 1900 of the same
places is then compared. Thus, as shown in the table
on the next page, the total population in 1910 of those
cities and towns which at that time had 2,500inhabitants
or more was 3,125,367; in 1900 the total population of
these same places was 2,569,494. It may be noted that
the latter figure exceeds the total population in 1900 of
those places which at that time had over 2,500 inhabitants each,2,567,098 (see table above), by 2,396. The

difference is due to two things: First,five
towns having
less than 2,500 inhabitants each in 190
0, with a combined population of 10,801, had more tha
n 2,500 inhabitants each in 1910; and second, thr
ee towns having
more than 2,500 inhabitants each in 19(I
0, with a combined population of 8,405, had less tha
n 2,500 inhabitants each in 1910. In the case of one
of these lastmentioned towns the loss was due
to the fact that
part of its territory was taken in 190
5 to form a new
town.
The comparison of the total populatio
n in 1910 of
places having a population of not less
than 2,500 each
with the total population of the same
places in 1900,
as given in the following table, shows an
increase of
21.6 per cent. During the same period
the rural
population, comprising that of the
remainder of the
state, increased 2.2 per cent. Urban pop
ulation thus
increased nearly ten times as rapidly as rura
l. For the
United States as a whole urban populatio
n increased
34.9 per cent in the last decade and rural
population
11.2 per cent. As shown by Table I of
Chapter 2
there were six counties in Massachusetts in
which the
population living in rural territory decrea

For the state as a whole the population

As shown .by the above
table, the city of Boston
increased in population dur
ing the last decade at about
the same rate as the pop
ulation of the state as a whole,
while the group compri
sing the other cities of over
100,000 inhabitants, as
well as the group. of places
having from 2,500 to
25,000 inhabitants, increased
somewhat more slowly
than the population of the state
as a whole. The gro
up of places having from 25,000
to 100,000 inhabitants,
however, increased in population slightly more tha
n one and one-half times as fas
t
as the state as a who
le. The rate of increase for rur
al
population is about one
-ninth of the rate for the state.
From this table it
also appears that of the decennial
increase in populatio
n, namely, 561,070, very nearly
three-fourths was in
cities and towns of over 25,000
inhabitants.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introcinction.—This chapter presents a complete
statement of the statistics of agriculture for Massachusetts collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of
farms 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 farmed 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
any tract containing less than 3 acres which produced at least $250
worth of farm products in the year 1909.
Parmer.—A "farmer" or "farm operator," according to the census definition, is a person who directs the operations of a farm.
Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according to the
character 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 census
reports as "part owners," the term "owners" 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-third, 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 are conducting farm operations for the
owner for wages or a.salary.
Parra 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
750300-13-40


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation,land lying fallow, land in gardens,orchards,
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 unimproved /and includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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
were unable to make 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 duplication
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 itis quite impossible
to ascertain the value created during the year.
(3) The fact that the returns for some products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products Of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

cranberry soils. The sandy and sandy loam soils in
the vicinity of Boston and in the valleys of the Merrimac and its tributaries are largely used for the
production of market-garden vegetables wherever
transportation facilities to city markets are available.
The level terrace soils of the Connecticut Basin form
some of the best farm lands within the state. It is
upon these soils that the tobacco culture of the state
has been most widely developed, and more recently
market-garden and trucking crops, particularly onions,
have been extensively produced. These soils also give
good yields of corn, oats, and grass. In the Berkshire
Valley, in the western part of the state, the soils have
been derived through the glaciation of the underlying
limestone, and are among the best in the state for the
growth of grass and corn. Throughout the highland
portion of the state the steeper slopes are used as
mountain pastures or form wood lot and forest areas.
The more gentle slopes are occupied by tilled fields.
The two maps on the opposite page show, by counties, the proportion of the total land area which is in
farms and the average value of farm land per acre. Of
the state's entire land area, 55.9 per cent is in farms,
and the first map shows that in every inland county
between three-fifths and four-fifths of the total land
area is in farms. In two of the remaining counties
the proportion is between 40 and 60 per cent, in three
between 20 and 40 per cent, and in three it is less than
20 per cent.

lowing table summarizes for the state the more
significant facts relating to population and land area,
the nunaber, value, and acreage of farms, and the
value of all other farm property in 1910 and 1900:

Massachusetts ranks forty-fourth in area and sixth in
population among the states and territories of continental United States. The state is divided into four
principal physical regions: The low coastward plain,
the eastern highlands, the Connecticut Basin with the
included Holyoke Range, and the western highlands
with the infolded Berkshire Valley.
While in their general features the soils of Massachusetts fall within a few classes, yet nearly every
square mile_of the state contains a considerable number of soils which differ in detail. These soils are
derived either directly or indirectly from the glaciation of the entire area of the state. Through this
glaciation, the higher mountainous ridges have been
swept nearly bare of all fine-grained soil-forming material, but deep deposits of glacial till have been made
at all the lower elevations over the sloping flanks of
the ridges, and over the crests of the lower hills.
With this glaciation of the upland, and particularly
with the retreat of the ice, there has been extensive
deposition of sandy and gravelly outwash material
which was laid down not only in the Connecticut
Basin, but also, less extensively, in practically every
one of the larger and lower-lying valleys of the state.
Along the eastern coast the till-covered upland is
bordered by sandy and gravelly outwash plains which
occupy all the lower elevations and are only interrupted by low rolling hills, with their heavier till soils,
which rise above the general level of the surface.
On lands along the borders of the streams, upon
more level areas, and wherever the soil is finely textured, corn and hay are the chief crops. Numerous
small bogs of a peaty or swampy nature in the southeastern part of the state constitute extremely valuable

each alternate decade. In 1880 the number reached
38,406, the highest figure for any of the years shown.
The decrease during the last decade was very general,
being shared by all but four counties.
The land surface of Massachusetts is approximately
5,144,960 acres. Of this area, 2,875,941 acres, or 55.9
per cent, are included in farms. Of the farm acreage,
1,164,501 acres, or 40.5 per cent, are reported as
improved land, representing 22.6 per cent of the total
land area of the state. Between 1900 and 1910 the
total acreage of farm land decreased 8.6 per cent, and
the acreage of improved land decreased 9.9 per cent;
hence the percentage of farm land which is improved
fell slightly.
The year 1880 shows the maximum acreage of land
in farms, though the figures for this year are only
slightly larger than those for 1850. The acreage of
improved land, likewise, and the percentage of land
improved were approximately the same in 1880 as in
1850. Between 1880 and 1910 there was an almost
general decline in all these items. The net decrease in
the whole farm land area during these 30 years
amounted to 14.4 per cent; the area of improved
land decreased without interruption until in 1910 it
was only about one-half what it was in 1880; and
the
percentage of farm land improved declined steadily
throughout the period from 63.4 per cent in 1880
to
40.5 per cent in 1910.
Values of farm property: 1850 to 1910.
-The agricultural changes in Massachusetts since 1850, as reflected
in the values of the several classes of farm
property,
are shown in the table which follows:

Per cent of
increase.'

Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase of
561,070, or 20 per cent, in the population of the state,
while there was a decrease of 798, or 2.1 per cent, in
the number of farms, and a decrease of 271,123 acres,
or 8.6 per cent, in the area of farm land. The improved land in farms decreased 127,631 acres, or
9.9 per cent, and the average size of farms fell from
83.4 to 77.9 acres.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings,
implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic
animals, poultry, and bees), has increased in value during the decade $43,827,000, or 24 per cent. This increase was chiefly made up of an increase of $18,607,000
in the value of land and of $17,542,000 in the value of
buildings. There was also an increase of $7,678,000 in
the value of farm equipment, of which almost twothirds represents a gain in the value of live stock and
the remainder an increase in the value of implements
and machinery. In considering the increase of values
in agriculture the general increase in the prices of all
commodities in the last 10 years should be borne in
mind.
The average value of a farm with its equipment in
1900 was $4,843, while 10 years later it was $6,135.
The average value of land rose from $27.62 per acre
in 1900 to $36.69 in 1910, an increase of 32.8 per cent.
This advance was accompanied by increases in the average values per farm of buildings, of implements and
machinery, and of live stock.
Population, number of farms, and farm acreage:
1850 to 1910.
-The table following presents, for the
state as a whole for each census from 1850 to 1910,
inclusive, a statement of the total population, the
number of farms, and the acreage of farm land and of
improved land in farms. It also gives the percentage
of the land area in farms, the percentage of farm land
improved, and the percentage of increase during each
decade in the number of farms and in the land in
farms.

The total wealth in the form of farm property is
$226,474,000, of which 85.7 per cent is represented
by
land and buildings, 5.1 per cent by implements and
machinery, and 9.2 per cent by live stock. The total
value of farm property increased during the last 10
years by $43,827,000, or 24 per cent, a slightly greater
relative increase than that in the preceding decade.
From 1860 to 1870 and again from 1880 to 1890 the
total value of farm property decreased, but by reason
of greater increases in other decades the value in 1910
was nearly double that in 1850. The greatest increase
was from 1870 to 1880;

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.

During the last decade there was a decrease of 798
in the total number of farms, which decrease was made
up of a loss of 174 in the number operated by owners
and managers and a loss of 624 in the number operated by tenants. In 1910, 8.1 per cent of all farms
were operated by tenants. In 1880 the proportion
was approximately the same, but in the intervening
decades it was higher, rising to 9.3 per cent in 1890

It will be seen that, in 1910, 81.5 per cent of all
land in farms was in farms operated by their owners
(including part owners), 11.5 per cent in farms operated
by managers, and 7 per cent in farms operated by
tenants, the percentages for owners and for tenants
being lower and that for managers higher than in 1900.
As shown by the next table, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (177.6 acres) was
more than twice as great as that of farms operated by
owners (73.1 acres), which was in turn somewhat
larger than that of farms operated by tenants (67.8
acres). The average size of farms operated by managers increased between 1900 and 1910, while that of

Farm mortgages: 1890 to 1910.
-The Eleventh
Census (1890) was the first to collect data relating to
mortgage debt on farms. The basis of the returns
was the "farm home" occupied by its owner. The
same class of information was secured by the population schedules of the Twelfth Census (1900). The
agricultural schedules of the Thirteenth Census (1910)
secured practically the same information, except that
the basis was "owned farms" instead of "owned farm
homes"-a difference involving, however, no appreciable incomparability.
The following table relates to farms operated by
persons owning all or part of the land, and shows for
1910 (1) the number of such farms reported as free
from mortgage; (2) the number reported as mortgaged; and (3) the number for which no mortgage
reports were secured. Comparable items are included

The 158 "owned farm homes" for which no reports were secured were distributed between "free from mortgage" and "mortgaged" in 1890.
'Percent of combined total of"free from mortgage" and "mortgaged."

In 1910 the total number of farms owned in whole
or in part by the operators was 32,075. Of this number,18,768 were reported as free from mortgage; 13,014
were reported as mortgaged; and for 293 no report
relative to mortgage indebtedness was obtained. The
number of mortgaged farms constituted 40.9 per cent
of the total number of owned farms, exclusive of those
for which no mortgage report was obtained. The percentage is only slightly larger than it was in 1900 but
considerably larger than it was in 1890. It may be
noted that the percentages given for the three censuses are comparable, but that the number of mortgaged and unraortgaged farms reported in 1890 is not
entirely comparable with the numbers reported at the


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

later censuses because at the census of 1890 the farms
for which no reports were stcured were distributed
between the two classes of mortgaged and unmortgaged
farms. It can be seen,however,that from 1890 to 1910
the number of mortgaged farms increased considerably
while the number free from mortgage decreased.
The statement of mortgage debt and of the value
of mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms
of those farmers who own all of their land and report
the amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. Of
the 13,014 farms reported as mortgaged, 12,432 are
wholly owned by the farmers, and for 12,030 of these
the amount of mortgage debt is reported. Only
these last-mentioned farms are included for 1910
in the next table, which presents data relating to
mortgaged farms for 1910 and 1890. In this connection it should be noted that in 1890 the amount
of mortgaged debt of farms with incomplete reports
was estimated according to the percentages and
averages obtained from farms with full reports, but
that no such estimate is here made for 1910. The
table gives a comparative statement of the value of
mortgaged farms owned entirely by their operators
and the amount of indebtedness, together with the
average value of such farms, the average debt per
farm, and the average equity per farm for 1910 and
1890. Data regarding the amount of mortgage debt
were not obtained in 1900.

1 Includes only farms consisting wholly of
owned land and reporting value of
farm and amount of debt.
2 Includes all owned farm homes, estimates being
made of value of farms and
amount of debt for all defective reports.

The average debt of mortgaged farms increased in
20 years from $1,323 to $1,361, or 2.9 per cent, while
the average value of such farms rose from $3,158 to
$4,135, or 30.9 per cent. Thus the owner's equity increased from $1,835 to $2,774, or 51.2 per cent. As a
result of the greater relative increase in farm value
than in farm debt, the ratio of the mortgage indebtedness to the value of the mortgaged farms, which was
41.9 per cent in 1890, had decreased in 1910 to 32.9
per cent.
Farms by size groups: 1910 and 1900.
-About 46
out of every 100 Massachusetts farms are between
20 and 99 acres in size. A study of the distribution of farms by size groups discloses the fact
that much the greatest relative gain in numberfrom
1900 to 1910 was in the group ranging from 3 to 9
acres. The farms containing from 10 to 19 acres and
those containing 1,000 acres and over also increased
in number, while those between 20 and 49 acres
showed practically no relative change. The number

of places of less than 3 acres reported as farms decreased 118, or 12.4 per cent. This decrease may be
due to a different interpretation by the enumerators of
What constitutes a small farm, or may represent an
actual decrease in that type of farm. A decrease is
shown for each group of farms falling between 50 and
999 acres, the aggregate decrease being 2,548, or 12.8

important size groups. The most noteworthy change
between 1900 and 1910 was the increase in the proportion of the total acreage which was in farms of less
than 20 acres and in farms of 1,000 acres and over.
In general, as shown by the table below, 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 also diminishes with the increase in the size of
the farms; it is very much higher for the farms under
20 acres in size than for those of any other group.
Many of the small farms in Massachusetts are primarily places of residence of wealthy persons, with expensive buildings,and many others are highly improved
truck farms.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.
That there should be this small difference is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers 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 which made
any report of milk produced during 1909 was 25,713
(somewhat less than the total number reporting dairy
products), and the number of dairy cows on such
farms on April 15, 1910, was 164,000. The amount of
milk reported was 86,304,000 gallons; assuming that

however, are somewhat in excess of the actual returns
at that census, because they include estimates made
to cover those cases where the schedules reported
fowls on hand without reporting the production of
eggs. In order to make the returns for 1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar estimates
have been made, the method of estimate and the justification therefor being substantially the same as in
the case of wool. The total production of eggs in

to the sale and slaughter of domestic animals by
Massachusetts farmers during the year 1909, with
certain items for 1899.
The total value of domestic animals sold during
1909 was $5,014,000, and that of animals slaughtered
on farms $1,006,000, making an aggregate of $6,020,000. This total, however,involves considerable duplication,resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals
which had been purchased by the farmers during the
same year.
The value of the cattle (including calves) sold during
1909 represented over 70 per cent of the total value of
animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the receipts from the
sale of all domestic animals raised on the farms
reporting and the total value of those slaughtered during 1899, which amounted, respectively, to $1,284,000
and $932,000.
The item of sales is not closely comparable with
that for 1909, when the inquiry covered all sales
whether of animals raised on the farms reporting or
elsewhere. It is believed, however, that in many
cases the returns for 1899 also included receipts from
sales of animals not actually raised on the farms
reporting.

Between 1879 and 1889 the acreage of corn decreased over one-third; since 1889 there has been an
increase, the percentage of gain during the last two
decades being 15.1 and 6.7, respectively. The acreage
of oats in 1909, though 18.3 per cent greater than in
1899, was only about two-fifths as great as in 1879.
Rye had an acreage in 1909 less than one-sixth as
great as in 1879, since which time the decrease has
been continuous. The acreage of hay and forage has
fallen off throughout the 30-year period, the decrease
during the last decade, 14.8 per cent, being greater
than that during either of the preceding decades shown.
The potato acreage has fluctuated somewhat, but is
less than at any of the three earlier censuses and represents a loss of more than one-fifth, as compared
With 1879. The acreage of tobacco declined 40.1 per
cent between 1879 and 1889, but it gained rapidly
from that time on, so that in 1909 it was 64.4 per cent
greater than in 1879.
The following table shows for 1909 and 1899 the

Out of every 100 farmers in the state about 91
report hay and forage, 67 report potatoes, 40 report
corn,and 6 reportoats. The proportions reporting corn
and oats have increased slightly, but the proportions
reporting the other crops included in the preceding
table, with the exception of hay and forage, have decreased. These eight crops cover about 52 per cent of
the improved
acreage of the state. The hay and forcrop contributes by far the greater share, its
acreage being about six times as great as that of the
Other seven combined.

The average value per acre of the combined cereals
is $29.26. Corn is the only cereal of any importance
for which the value per acre exceeded this average.
The average value per acre of hay and forage is about
three-fourths that of sthe combined cereals.
About five-eighths of the corn acreage of the state
is reported from Hampshire, Worcester, Franklin, and
Hampden Counties. More than half of the acreage of
hay and forage is reported from Worcester, Berkshire,
and Middlesex Counties. Substantially all the tobacco
is reported from Hampshire, Franklin, and Hampden
Counties.

1 Does not include 276 farms which reported that they had vegetable gardens,
but gave no information as tatheir products.

In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes and other vegetables was 61,686 and their value $8,184,000. Excluding (so far as reported separately 1) potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables
was 37,220 and their value $6,190,000, both acreage
and value being decidedly greater than in 1899. The
table distinguishes between farms which make the
raising of vegetables a business of some importance
(having produced vegetables valued at $500 or more
in 1909) and other farms, on most of which vegetables
are raised mainly for home consumption. While there
were in 1909 only 1,961 farms in the first class, they
reported nearly half of the total acreage of vegetables
and more than two-thirds of the total value, the average acreage of vegetables per farm for these farms
being 8.8 and the average value per acre $248.
The raising of flowers and plants and of nursery
products is also relatively important in Massachusetts,
2,750 acres being devoted to it in 1909, and the output
being valued at $3,061,000. Most of the product was

Cranberries are by all odds the most important of the
small fruits grown in Massachusetts, with strawberries
ranking next. The total acreage of small fruits in 1909
was 9,552 and in 1899, 8,346, an increase of 14.5 per
cent. The production in 1909 was 29,260,000 quarts,
as compared with 25,882,000 quarts in 1899, and the
value $1,677,000, as compared with $1,494,000. The
quantity and value of products thus increased somewhat less, relatively, than the acreage.
Orchard fruits, grapes, and nuts: 1909 and 1899.
The following table presents data with regard to orchard fruits, grapes, and nuts. The acreage devoted
to these products was not ascertained. In comparing
one year with the other the number of trees or vines
of bearing age is, on the whole, a better index of the
general changes or tendencies than the quantity of
product, but the data for the censuses of 1910 and
1900 are not closely comparable and the product is
therefore compared, although variations may be due
largely to temporarilyfavorable or unfavorable climatic
conditions.

peaches and pears most of the remainder. The production of grapes and nuts was relatively unimportant.
The nuts consisted chiefly of black walnuts, butternuts, and hickory nuts.
The value of orchard fruits increased from $1,171,000
in 1899 to $2,074,000 in 1909, but that of grapes
declined from $35,685 in 1899 to $30,858 in 1909. It
should be noted in this connection that the values for
1899 include the value of more advanced products
derived from orchard fruits or grapes, such as cider,
vinegar, dried fruits, and the like, and may therefor
e
involve some duplication, while the values shown for
1909 relate only to the products in their original
condition.
The following table shows the quantities of the more
advanced products manufactured by farmers from

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of Massachusetts for the
calendar year 1909, 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
Whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership,size of establishments, number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of 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 three general thbles.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries (1) for the state as a
Whole and (2) for the cities of Boston, Brockton, Cambridge, Fall River, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn,
New Bedford, Somerville, Springfield, and Worcester.
It also gives the same items for all industries combined for every city and town having in 1910 a population of over 10,000 but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
12 cities having 50,000 inhabitants or more enumerated
ill a previous paragraph for all industries combined
and selected industries, and for each city having
from 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants for all industries

distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries. Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced
to a comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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.

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

cover the power developed by motors operated by such 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.

Laundries.—The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using
mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are
not included in the general total for manufacturing industries, in
order to avoid interference with comparisons with prior censuses.
Custom sawmills and gristmills.—In order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those for 1904 the data for these mills have
been excluded from all the tables presenting general statistics, and
are given in a separate table at the end of this chapter.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.—Massachusetts, with
a gross area of 8,266 square miles, of which 227 represent water surface, is the fifth smallest state in the
Union, only Rhode Island, Delaware, Connecticut, and
New Jersey having smaller areas. Its population in
1910 was 3,366,416, as compared with 2,805,346 in
1900 and 2,238,947 in 1890. It ranked sixth among
the 49 states and territories of continental United
States as regards population in 1910 and seventh in
1900. Intdensity of population Massachusetts ranked
second in 1910, having 418.8 persons per square mile,
the corresponding figure for 1900 being 349. Ninetytwo and eight-tenths per cent of the entire population
of the state resided in cities and towns having 2,500
inhabitants or over in 1910, as against 91.5 per cent
in 1900.
In 1910, 12 cities in the state had a population of
over 50,000: Boston,670,585; Worcester,145,986; Fall
River, 119,295; Lowell, 106,294; Cambridge, 104,839;

88,926;Lawrence,85,892;Somerville,77,236; Holyoke,
57,730; and Brockton, 56,878. There were also 43
Cities and towns having a population of over 10,000
but less than 50,000. (See table on page 648.) These
55 cities and towns contained 77.4 per cent of the total

Importance and growth of manufactures.—Massachusetts is preeminently a manufacturing state, its
early industrial development being due in part to the
fact that it contained one of the first permanent settlements of North America. The superior water-power
advantages which the state affords were largely instrumental in bringing about the establishment of a number of important mills and factories. At each census
since 1849 the state has contributed a smaller proportion of the total value of the products of manufacturing industries in the United States, notwithstanding
a steady actual growth from census to census. This
proportion was 15.5 per cent in 1849 and 7.2 per cent
in 1909.
The growth and concentration of population in the
state have been closely related to the increase in the
importance of its manufacturing industries, although
considerably less in degree. In 1849 the total value
of the manufactured products of the state, including
those of the neighborhood and hand industries,
amounted to $157,743,994, while in 1909, exclusive
of the value of the products of the neighborhood and
hand industries, it reached a total of $1,490,529,386,
or more than nine times that in 1849. During the same
period the population of the state increased 238.5 per
cent. In 1849 an average of 177,461 wage earners,
representing 17.8 per cent of the total population, were
employed in manufactures, while in 1909 an average
of 584,559 wage earners, or 17.4 per cent of the total
population, were so engaged. The value of manufactured products per capita of the total population
of the state increased from $159 to $443 during this
period. The state ranked second among the states of
the Union with respect to value of manufactured
products in 1849, third from 1859 to 1879, inclusive,
and fourth at each subsequent census.
The table on the following page gives the most important figures relative to all classes of manufactures
combined for 1909, 1904, and 1899, together with the
percentages of increase from census to census.
In 1909 the state of Massachusetts had 11,684 manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to
an average of 644,399 persons during the year and paid
out $364,452,000 in salaries and wages. Of the persons employed,584,559 were wage earners. These establishments turned out products to the value of
$1,490,529,000, to produce which materials costing
$830,765,000 were utilized. The value added by

manufacture was thus $659,764,000, which figure, as
explained in the Introduction, best represents the

net wealth created by manufacturing operations during
the year.

In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of Massachusetts as a whole
showed a greater development during the more recent
five-year period, 1904-1909,than during the preceding
five-year period, 1899-1904. During the later period
the number of establishments increased 9 per cent and
the average number of wage earners 19.7 per cent,
while the value of products and the value added by
manufacture each increased 32.6 per cent. As pointed
out in the Introduction, it would be improper to infer
that manufactures increased in volume to the full
extent indicated by these figures relating to values,
since the increase shown is certainly due, in part,
to the increase that has taken place in the prices of
commodities.
The only decreases shown in the table are one of sixtenths of 1 per cent in the number of proprietors and
firm members during the period 1904-1909 and one of
1.9 per cent in the number of establishments during the
period 1899-1904.
The relative importance and growth of the leading
manufacturing industries of the state are shown in the
table on page 639.
It should be borne in mind,in considering that table,
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication due to the
use of the product of one establishment in the industry
as material for another establishment.
The table gives separate statistics for 76 industries
or industry groups for which products valued at more
than $500,000 were reported in 1909. These industries include 4, with products exceeding $50,000,000
in value; 6, with products between $25,000,000 and
$50,000,000 in value; and 16, with products between
$10,000,000 and $25,000,000 in value, making an
aggregate of 26 industries with a value of products in
excess of $10,000,000 each. The other industries
shown separately comprise 15, with products between

with products between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in

Of the industries included under the head of "All
other industries," the dyeing and finishing of textiles,
which covers the bleaching, dyeing, and mercerizing
of raw fiber, yarns, and woven cloth, as well as the
printing of cotton piece goods, is the most important.
A considerable number of the cotton, woolen, and
silk mills carry on one or more of these subordinate
processes with the primary manufacturing process in
the same establishment, and therefore the statistics
for the independent establishments engaged in dyeing
and finishing do not fully represent the statistics for
this branch of manufacture as a whole. In 1909 reports
for some of the dyeing and finishing establishments in
the state included the cost of the material upon which
the work was performed and its value as finished. In
such cases the cost and value of these goods were
deducted, in order to place all of the reports' on
uniform basis and to make the statistics comparable
with those for prior censuses, when the value of products represented only the value added to the materials
by the processes. It is of interest to know that fortyeight of these independent establishments, giving employment to an average of 9,079 wage earners, were
reported at the census of 1909, as compared with
forty-six establishments, employing on the average
7,508 wage earners, in 1904. The industry ranked
twelfth among the industries of the state in 1909, as
measured by value of products, with $21,893,000.
Massachusetts led all other states in this respect
,
contributing 26.2 per cent of the total value of products reported for the industry in the United State!,
while in 1904, with products valued at $11,049,000, it
ranked second in this branch of manufacture, NeW
Jersey being first.

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

In addition to the 64 industries with products valued
at more than $1,000,000 which are shown separately
in the preceding table, and the dyeing and finishing
of textiles, 34 other industries had a value of products in 1909 in excess of this amount.' These industries include 5, with products valued at $5,000,000 but
less than $10,000,000; 26, with products valued at
$1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000; and 3, with products valued at $10,000,000 or over. These industries
are included under the head of "All other industries"
in the table in some instances, because the operations
of individual establishments would be disclosed if they
were shown separately; in others, because the returns
do not properly present the true condition of the industry, for the reason that it is more or less interwoven
with other industries; and in still others, because comparative statistics can not be presented for either
1904 or 1899 on account of changes in classification.
The 1909 statistics, however, for six of these industries,
namely, the manufacture of brushes, steam-railroad
cars, men's furnishing goods, oilcloth and linoleum,
and rubber goods, and the work done in the streetrailroad repair shops, are presented separately in Table
II, page 680.
While a few industries predominate in the state,
there are, as already noted, a very large number which
are of considerable importance. The leading products
of the state, measured by value, are boots and shoes,
cotton goods, woolen goods, and foundry and machineshop products. However,the textile group considered
as a whole much exceeds boots and shoesin importance.
The leading industries call for special consideration.
Textiles.—The textile industries of Massachusetts
comprise mainly the manufacture of cotton goods,
including cotton small wares; woolen, worsted, and
felt goods, and wool hats; cordage and twine and
jute and linen goods; hosiery and knit goods; carpets
and rugs, other than rag; silk and silk goods, including throwsters; fur-felt hats; and shoddy. Combined,
the eight allied industries gave employment in
1909 to an average of 192,147 wage earners, and the
value of their products amounted to $387,063,000.
These figures represent an increase over 1904 of 35,976,
or 23 per cent, in number of wage earners, and $111,205,000, or 40.3 per cent, in value of products. From
These industries are:
Belting and hose, woven and rubber.
Brushes.
Carriages and sleds, children's.
Cars and general shop construction and
repairs by street-railroad companies.
Cars,steam-railroad,not including operations of railroad companies.

1899 to 1904 the gain in number of wage earners was
4,548, or 3 per cent, and that in value of products was
$55,224,000, or 25 per cent. The relative importance
of the textile industries in Massachusetts is apparent
from the fact that,in 1909,32.9 per cent of the aggregate number of wage earners employed in manufacturing industries in the state and 26 per cent of the
aggregate value of manufactured products were reported for these industries. The corresponding proportions for 1904 were 32 per cent and 24.5 per cent,
respectively. Massachusetts is not only the foremost
state in the Union in the production of all textiles combined, but is first as regards three of the most important branches—cotton goods, including cotton small
wares; woolen, worsted, and felt goods, and wool hats;
and cordage and twine and jute and linen goods. It
ranks second in the production of shoddy,third in that
of hosiery and knit goods and of carpets and rugs, and
fifth in that of silk and silk goods and of fur-felt hats.
Boots and shoes,including cut stock andfindings.—Of
the 860 establishments included under this classification in 1909, 469 were engaged primarily in the manufacture of boots and shoes, 215 in the production of
boot and shoe findings, and 176 in the manufacture
of boot and shoe cut stock. There is some overlapping
between these three branches,for which there were separate classifications in 1904, which makes it desirable to
combine them in presenting the statistics. Although
this industry is one of the oldest in the state, dating
from about 1629, it was not until after the period from
1851 to 1865, when various kinds of shoemaking
machinery were introduced, that the real expansion
of the industry began. In 1869 there were 2,562
boot and shoe factories, including custom and repair shops, in the state, which gave employment
to an average of 56,443 wage earners and turned
out products valued at $90,561,000, whereas in 1909
the 860 establishments operating under the factorY
system employed an average of 83,063 wage earners and had an output valued at $236,343,000
.
The figures for wage earners and value of products
in 1869 represented 20.2 per cent and 16.3 per cent of
the respective totals for all manufacturing industries in
the state, while the corresponding percentages for 1909
were 14.2 and 15.9, respectively. Massachusetts continues to lead all other states of the Union in the NMbined industry and in each of the three branches*
During recent years, however, there has been a marked
development of this industry in a number of other
states, in consequence of which the value of such products reported for Massachusetts formed a smaller pr°portion of the total value for the United States in 1909
than in 1899, the percentages being 46.1 and 48.7, respectively. The increase in value of products Was
$32,441,000 from 1899 to 1904, and $62,663,000 fr?In
1904 to 1909, the total gain during the decade being
$95,104,000, or 67.3 per cent.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
The 469 establishments which reported boots and
shoes as their principal product in 1909 gave employment to an average of 74,710 wage earners and manufactured products valued at $187,046,000, while the
502 establishments reported in 1904 employed 62,633
wage earners and turned out products valued at
$144,291,000. During the five years, therefore, a
decrease of 33 occurred' in the number of establishments, but there were increases of 12,077 in the number of wage earners and $42,755,000 in the value of
products.
Foundry and machine-shop products.—The development of this industry has been in a measure dependent
Upon and largely stimulated by the growth of the textile, boot and shoe, printing and publishing, paper and
wood pulp, and other important industries of the state
which employ machinery extensively in their manufacturing processes. A large amount of the machinery
used throughout the United States in these industries,
Particularly in the first two, is manufactured in Massachusetts. This classification covers products of great
diversity, embracing not only the output of foundries
and machine shops but also that of establishments
engaged in the manufacture of gas machines:and gas
and water meters, hardware, plumbers' supplies, steam
fittings and heating apparatus, and structural ironwork. During the period from 1899 to 1904 the industry was practically at a standstill, but from 1904
to 1909 its growth was greater, relatively, than that
shown for all industries combined. The foundry and
ulachine-shop industry in its broadest sense is of greater
importance in the state than is indicated by the statistics presented under this specific head, for the reasOn that the chief products of some machine shops are
°f Et character which caused the establishment to be
a
'ssigned to some other classification.
Printing and publishing.—Under this head are injob printing; the printing and publishing of
newspapers and periodicals, and music; bookl
ul uding and blank-book making; steel engraving, ini,_(
c! plate printing; and lithographing. More estab11 ling
ki
ruments were reported for this industry than for any
or
" er single industry in the state. Although in value
Products the industry shows an advance of only 20.8
P,er centfrom 1904 to 1909, this relative gain was nearly
,pu?uble that shown for the preceding five-year period.
!
:`_11 absolute increase in value of products from 1904
1909 was $8 171 000 and from 1899 to 1904 it was

Year was valued at $173,000. Since that date the

industry in the state has grown very rapidly. In 1889,
43 establishments with products valued at $32,344,000
were reported, and in 1909 there were 94 establishments with products valued at $44,403,000,an increase
for the decade of $12,059,000, or 37.3 per cent. The
relative growth in value of products was practically
the same during each of the five-year periods 18991904 and 1904-1909. Of the 94 establishments reported for the industry as a whole in 1909, 17 were
engaged in both wholesale slaughtering and wholesale
meat packing, 28 in wholesale slaughtering only, and
49 in the manufacture of sausage only, the value of
the output of these three branches representing 79.2
per cent, 16.6 per cent, and 4.2 per cent, respectively,
of the total for the combined industry.
Paper and wood pulp.—All establishments 'which
manufacture paper exclusively, pulp exclusively, or
both paper and pulp are included in this classification.
The mills engaged in the production of paper alone,
however, largely predominate. This branch of the
industry was developed and brought to its high standard of efficiency mainly in Massachusetts and for many
years it has ranked among the principal manufacturing activities of the state. In 1869, 1879, and 1889,
when the manufacture of paper and that of pulp were
treated as separate industries, Massachusetts led all
other states in the value of paper manufactured. Beginning with the census of 1899, however, the two
branches were treated together and owing to the fact
that the state produced very little wood pulp it dropped
to second place, where it has since remained. Of the
aggregate value of the output of all paper and pulp
mills in the United States, Massachusetts contributed
17.4 per cent in 1899, 17 per cent in 1904, and 15
per cent in 1909. The development of the industry
in the state during the last 10 years is due mainly to
the increase in the production of fine paper and book
paper, the value of which formed about three-fourths
of the total for the industry in 1909.
Leather, tanned, curried, andfinished.—This industry
includes establishments engaged primarily in the manufacture of leather and those which treat hides or
skins for others. The cost of materials and the value
of products, however, do not include the cost or
value of the hides or skins treated under contract. In
1849 Massachusetts was the third state of the Union in
this industry with respect to value of products, reporting 397 establishments, which employed 2,623 wage
earners and turned out products valued at $6,538,775.
The state retained the same rank in 1909, in which
year, although only 132 establishments were engaged
in the industry, the number of wage earners was
nearly four times as great and the value of products
more than six times as great as in 1849.
Clothing.—While neither the manufacture of men's
clothing nor that of women's clothing is among the

642

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

12 leading industries of the state, the 2 industries combined had an output for 1909 valued at $30,042,000.
The increase in value of products from 1904 to 1909
was $6,433,000, or 27.2 per cent, and that from 1899
to 1904, $6,366,000, or 36.9 per cent. In 1869 Massachusetts was the third state in the Union in the
manufacture of clothing, as measured by value of
products, but largely owing to the great fire of
1872 in Boston, the center of the industry in the
state, it dropped to fifth place in 1879. From the
effects of this fire the wholesale clothing industry of
the state has never fully recovered. At the census of
1889 the first attempt was made to segregate the
statistics for establishments manufacturing clothing
under the factory system from establishments doing
custom tailoring and dressmaking. Although the
value of the ready-made clothing reported by Massachusetts has increased substantially during the last
40 years, its proportion of the aggregate value of products reported for the industry in the United States has
been growing less, this proportion being 3.6 per cent in
1899 and 3.2 per cent in 1909. The value of men's
clothing has represented the major part of the total
value shown for the combined industries at each census,
but that of the women's clothing branch has increased.
its percentage of the combined value of products of
the industry from 30.2 per cent in 1899 to 36.8 per
cent in 1904 and 39 per cent in 1909.
Electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies.—The
exceptionally rapid extension during recent years of
the uses of electricity has created a demand for appliances with which to utilize this energy. Massachusetts shows a remarkable development during the last
decade, the value of products having increased from
810,490,000 in 1899 to $15,882,000 in 1904 and to
$28,143,000 in 1909, and in this respect it held fourth
place among the states in the industry in 1909.
Manufactures from precious metals.—The manufacture of jewelry is allied closely to the production of
silverware and plated ware, and the reducing and
refining of gold and silver from clippings, sweepings,
and scrap. In 1909 these three industries combined
employed an average of 9,966 wage earners and turned
out products valued at $23,109,000. This group of
manufactures had its beginning in the state about
1805, the chief finished products at that time being
such articles as silver spoons, gold beads, and finger
rings, and later included a cheaper grade of jewelry, in
the manufacture of which Massachusetts is now one of
the leading states.
Lumber and timber products.—This industry includes
the timber plants, whose chief products are logs and
bolts; the sawmills, shingle mills, and planing mills,
which produce rough and dressed lumber, shingles,
lath, cooperage stock, sash, doors, blinds, interior
finish, and other millwork; and the wooden packing-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

box factories. This industry in the state in 1909 was
represented by 208 independent planing mills, 391
sawmills and timber plants, and 109 packing-box factories, which reported 42.2 per cent, 22.7 per cent, and
35.1 per cent, respectively, of the value of products
for the industry. The corresponding percentages of
the total value of products in 1899 contributed by
these three branches were: 38.6, 38.5, and 22.9. It is
apparent, therefore, that the growth of the industry
as a whole was due to the increase in the production
of the planing mills and box factories. Although the
total cut of rough lumber increased from 344,190 M
feet board measure in 1899 to 361,200 M feet in 1909,
Massachusetts is one of the five states in which the cut
reported for 1909 was less than that for 1908. In the
industry as a whole there was an increase during the
decade 1899-1909 of $6,732,000, or 41.3 per cent, in
value of products.
Boots and shoes, rubber.—Massachusetts leads all
other states of the Union in the production of rubber
footwear, reporting 37.7 per cent of the total value of
the product of the industry in 1909, 55.7 per cent in
1904, and 40.1 per cent in 1899. The value of products reported for the industry in the state as given
in Table I shows an increase of 136.7 per cent from
1899 to 1904. In explanation of this large apparent
gain, the statement is made in the reports for the census of 1904, that it is probable that instead of reporting the value of products on a basis similar to that used
in 1899, some of the establishments reported their
products on the basis of a list price, subject to a large
discount peculiar to the industry. This would naturally result in an excessive figure for value of products
in 1904. The value of products reported for 1909 is
more in harmony with that for 1899 than is that for
1904. A comparison of the statistics for 1909 and
1899 shows that during the decade as a whole the number of wage earners increased 1,678, or 32 per cent; the
value of products, $2,232,000, or 13.5 per cent; and
the value added by manufacture, $430,000, or 5.6 Per
cent.
There are five industries presented separately in the
preceding table, which are not among the leading 0ne5
in. the state as measured by value of products, yet in
respect to which Massachusetts leads all other states
of the Union. These industries, with the share of the
state in the value of the total production in 1909, are:
The manufacture of paper goods outside of paPer
mills—including the cutting and boxing of writing
paper and the making of shelf paper, glazed paPT
paper tubes, playing cards, and other similar preu
l

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
The rank of the industries shown in the state when
measured by value added by manufacture differs
considerably from the rank by value of products, which •
is the order shown in the table on page 639. Of all the
industries listed in this table, only eight hold the same
Position when ranked according to value added by
manufacture. Noticeable changes in rank are found
in the case of slaughtering and meat packing, which
drops from the sixth place in gross value to the twentythird place in added value; in the cordage, twine, jute,
and linen goods industry, which falls from fourteenth
to twenty-fourth place; and in the steel works and
rolling mills, which falls from the nineteenth to the
thirty-second place. On the other hand, the maltliquor industry advances from twenty-second place to
twelfth; the manufacture of cutlery and tools from
twenty-fourth to fourteenth; the gas industry from
twenty-sixth to eighteenth; and marble and stone work
from thirtieth to twenty-second. The greatest variation is shown for the flour-mill and gristmill industry,
Which ranks forty-second in value of products and
sixty-seventh in value added by manufacture.
This table also shows the percentages of increase or
decrease for these leading industries in respect to value
of products and value added by manufacture in all
cases where comparable figures can be given in
Table I. Exceptionally large relative increases are
811°Nvn for several of the industries during each of the
,
live-year periods, while others show marked relative
(leereases. From 1904 to 1909 the largest increases in
thitems are shown for the manufacture of leather
iting
and hose, the manufacture of bicycles, motor
cYeles, and parts, the manufacture of automobiles
,
Including bodies and parts, and the reduction and
P4ning of gold and silver. From 1899 to 1904 the
,
'argest gains in both items are shown for the reduction
and refining of gold and silver, and for the automobile
d the millinery and lace-goods industries. None of
2u„e industries just mentioned, however, is among the
u leading industries shown in the table. In value of
.9

?9, and 14 a decrease from 1899 to 1904, while in
e
foru.. added by manufacture decreases were reported

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

engaged in the industry falling into the class of proprietors and officials is very much higher than for
most other industries or. for all industries combined.
Similar conditions prevail to some extent in the
manufacture of patent medicines, in tobacco manufactures, and in the lumber industry, in which proprietors and officials form 12.6, 12.1, and 10.4 per
cent, respectively, of the total number of persons
engaged in the industry.
On account of the fact that the cotton-goods,
carpet and rug, and woolen-goods industries, and the
manufacture of rubber boots and shoes and of cordage
and twine are conducted in relatively large establishments measured by number of wage earners
employed, these industries show the smallest proportions of proprietors and officials. The largest proportion of wage earners, 98.4 per cent, is reported for the
cotton-goods industry, and the smallest, 65.5 per
cent, for the manufacture of patent medicines. The
highest percentage of clerks is shown for the manufacture of patent medicines.
The next table shows, for 1909, in percentages, for
all industries combined, the distribution of the average number of wage earners by age periods, and
for those 16 years of age and over by sex, calculated
in the manner described in the Introduction. It also
shows,for some of the important industries separately,
a similar distribution of wage earners as reported for
December 15, or the nearest representative day. As
a means of judging •the importance of the several
industries, the average number employed for the year
is also given in each case.
For all industries combined, 66.8 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of age and over; 29.6 per cent,females 16 years of age
and over; and 3.5 per cent, children under the age of
16. The larger part of the total number of female
wage earners 16 years of age and over is made up of
those employed in the textile and the boot and shoe
industries.
In the carpet and rug and the cotton-goods industries and in the manufacture of cordage and twine,
over two-fifths of the wage earners are women 16 years
of age and over; in the knitting mills, over one-half;
in the silk mills, nearly three-fifths; and in the woolen
and worsted mills, nearly two-fifths. Of the wage
earners employed in the manufacture of boots and
shoes, including cut stock and findings, nearly onethird are women 16 years of age and over. The industries in the table, however, which show the largest
percentages of female wage earners are the women's
clothing industry, with 77.4 percent; the confectionery
industry, with 64 per cent; and the men's clothing industry, with 61 per cent.
The textile and boot and shoe industries combined
also include the larger part of the total number of

wage earners under 16 years of age. The proportion
of such wage earners in the total number engaged in
the manufacture of textiles was 5.9 per cent, while
the corresponding proportion for the boot and shoe
industry was 3.7 per cent. In six of the industries
given in the table at least 5 per cent of the wage
earners were children, the proportion ranging from
10.8 per cent for the silk mills to 5.7 per cent for the
cotton mills.

In order to compare the distribution of persons engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at the
census of 1904, it is necessary to use the classification
employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction-)

Comparable figures are not obtainable for 1899.
The table shows that the greatest percentage of increase was for salaried employees, the only class with
a higher proportion of the total in 1909 than in 1904.
The following table shows the average number of
wage earners, distributed according to age periods,
and in the case of those 16 years of age and over according to sex,for 1909, 1904, and 1899. The averages
for 1909 are estimated on the basis of the actual number reported for a single representative day. (See
Introduction.)

40,164, was employed in January, and the maximum
number,48,740, in December. For all industries combined the smallest number, 565,750, was employed in
the month of January. The number increased somewhat in February and March, but a slight decrease
occurred in every month from March to July. From
then on the number increased steadily, until in December 612,615 wage earners were employed, the largest
number reported for any month. The difference between the figures for the months of greatest and least
employment was thus 46,865, or 7.6 per cent of the
maximum.

This table indicates that for all industries combined
the number of children under 16 years of age employed in 1909 was decidedly greater than the number
reported for 1899, and that the proportion of such employees in the total number of wage earners increased
slightly during the decade. Although the number of
females 16 years of age and over increased during the
same period, the proportion of such wage earners became somewhat less. In 1909 males 16 years of age
and over formed 66.8 per cent of all wage earners, as
e. olnpared with 66.9 per cent in 1904 and 66.6 per cent
in 1899.
Wage earners employed, by months.
-The next table
gives the number of wage earners employed on the
15th of each month during the year 1909, for all industries combined, and also the percentage which the
number reported for each month is 'of the greatest
number reported for any month. In Table II, page
680 are shown, for the majority of the important industries in the state, the largest number and also the
ainallest number of wage earners reported for any
rnenth. The figures are for the 15th day, or the nearest representative day, of the month.
_There are no seasonal industries of importance in
assachusetts. On the contrary, most of the leadindustries show comparatively little fluctuation
throughout the year in the number of wage earners
einployed. (See Table II, page 680.) Among them the
oreatest relative variation is in the foundry and mag.

-In the table on page 646
Prevailing hours of labor.
wage earners have been classified according to the
hours of labor prevailing in the establishments in which
they de employed. In making this classification the
average number of wage earners employed during the
year is used, and the number employed in each establishment is classified as a total according to the hours
prevailing in that establishment, even though a few
employees work a greater or less number of hours.
It is evident from this table that for the great
majority of wage earners employed in the manufacturing industries of Massachusetts the usual hours of
labor are between 54 and 60 a week, 27.6 per cent
of the total being employed in establishments where
the prevailing hours are 54 or less, and only 7.4 per
cent in establishments where they are 60 or more a
week.
In 33 of the 76 industries shown separately in the
table at least half the wage earners were in establishments in which the prevailing period of employment
is a week of between 54 and 60 hours. More than
six-sevenths of the wage earners in the iron and steel
industry and more than half of those in the slaughtering and meat-packing and in the paper and woodpulp industries, however, are employed in establishments where the prevailing number of hours are 60 or
over per week, while for the majority of the wage
earners engaged in marble and stone work, printing
and publishing, and tobacco manufactures the prevailing hours of labor are 48 or less per week.

In 1909, 82.9 per cent of the total value of products
for all manufacturing industries in the state was
reported from cities and towns having over 10,000
inhabitants, and 81.7 per cent of the average number
of wage earners were employed in such cities and
towns. The figures indicate that while there was very
little relative change during the last 10 years, yet on
the Whole the industries of the cities and towns with a
Population of 10,000 or over have gained somewhat on
those of the remainder of the state.
It should be understood that in making the classification of cities and towns for 1899 in this table the
Population in 1900 was used as the basis. Hence the
towns that had less than 10,000 inhabitants each in
1900 but more than that number in 1910, namely,
. 11-ington, Greenfield, Methuen, Plymouth, Wake4
-Watertown, Webster, and Winthrop, are included
Or 1899 with
the districts outside. The total value of
Products reported for these eight towns in 1909 was
47,001,185, or 3.2 per cent of the total for the state.
lf, therefore, the statistics for these towns in 1909 were
deducted from the totals for cities and towns having a
Population of 10,000 or over and added to the districts
°Iltside, the proportion of the aggregate value of prod-.
lIcte credited to the former group would be 79.7 per
,tit and that credited to the latter 20.3 per cent.
e
r
:figures represent the relative proportions of the
i ese
l'utal value of manufactured products for the state
‘ itributed
;et
by the same areas for which statistics are
ghren in 1899.
, ° Composition of each of the groups of cities and
1 11
wile having more than 10,000 inhabitants has been
ected by changes in the population of
,
different cities

On the other hand, Gloucester, which in 1900 was
included among the cities having between 25,000 and
100,000 inhabitants, as the result of a decrease in population during the decade in 1910 fell into the group
comprising cities and towns having between 10,000
and 25,000 inhabitants.
Although .each of the three groups into which the
cities and towns having over 10,000 inhabitants are
divided showed a substantial increase during the
decade in average number of wage earners, value of
products, and value added by manufacture, the group
comprising the places having between 25,000 and
100,000 inhabitants showed a smaller proportion of
the total for each item in 1909 than in 1899, while the
proportion for the group comprising the cities of over
100,000 inhabitants was larger in each case. These
changes are of course due largely to changes in the
composition of the different groups. Of the total
value of products shown for the state at the census of
1909, 14.1 per cent was reported from the 30 cities and
towns having between 10,000 and 25,000 inhabitants,
36.4 per cent from the 19 cities and 1 town having
between 25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, and 32.4 per
cent from the 5 cities having more than 100,000
inhabitants.
The population in 1910 and 1900 of the 55 cities and
towns which had 10,000 inhabitants or more in 1910 is
given in the first tabular statement on page 648.
The relative importance in manufactures of each
of these cities and towns is shown in the second tabular
statement on page 648, in which the value of products
and average number of wage earners are shown separately for 1909, 1904, and 1899, so far as comparative
figures are available.
Every city and town for which comparative figures
are available shows an increase during the decade in
number of wage earners, with the exception of North
Adams, Gloucester, Melrose, and Medford, while for all
except North Adams and Melrose there was a gain in
value of products. From 1904 to 1909 all except four
of the cities and towns show an increase in value of
products, and all except seven an increase in number
of wage earners employed. During the period from

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

648

1899 to 1904 a decrease in value of products occurred
in three of the places shown, and a decrease in wage
earners in nine. Some•cities show decided increases •
from 1904 to 1909 in value of products. The largest
relative gain, 149.1 per cent, was made by Chicopee,
and was due in part to he increased production of
cotton goods,rubber goods, and sporting goods, as well
as to the establishment of such new industries as
slaughtering and meat packing and the manufacture
of automobiles. In Medford there was an increase of
134.6 per cent, due largely to gains in the foundry and
machine-shop and wool-pulling industries of the city
and to the establishment of a tannery there since 1904.
Beverly shows a gain of 111 per cent, representing primarily an increase in the output of its foundries and
machine shops and boot and shoe factories. A gain
in Webster of 92.5 per cent was due mostly to increases
in the textile and boot and shoe industries and in the
dyeing and finishing of textiles, and a gain in New
Bedford of 80.7 per cent was mainly the result of the
marked increase in the manufacture of cotton goods
in that city.

of industries. Measured by value of products,the most
important industries are printing and publishing, with
$28,021,000; the manufacture of boots and shoes, with
$26,147,000; the clothing industries, with $22,377,000;
and foundries and machine shops, with $13,474,000.
The value of the combined output of these industries,
however, represents only 37.9 per cent of the total
reported for the city. Other industries of importance
are the confectionery industry, with products valued
at$10,341,000; the bakery industry, with products valued at $8,109,000; the brewery industry, with products
valued at $7,554,000; and tobacco manufactures, with

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
1909 valued at more than $1,000,000.1 These industries include 1, with products exceeding $10,000,000
in value; 2, with products between $5,000,000 and
$10,000,000 in value; and 8, with products between
$1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in value.
The totals presented in this report for Boston do
not include the statistics for an establishment operated
by the Federal Government—the United States navy
yard—located there. In 1909 this plant employed an
average of 1,665 wage earners, and the value of the
Work performed at the yard during that year was reported at $3,817,755.
Lawrence, which was the fourth in importance
among the manufacturing cities in the state in 1904
on the basis of value of products, rose to second place
in 1909, having exchanged places with Lynn (luring
the five-year period. The total value of manufactured
Products for this city increased 66.5 per cent from
1904 to 1909, due primarily to the increased production of woolen and worsted goods, in the manufacture
of which the city outranks any other in the state
or in the United States. The value of such goods
manufactured in 1909 was $58,536,000, which represented 73.2 per cent of the total reported for all manufacturing industries of the city. The manufacture of
cotton goods, paper, and machine-shop products, the
lumber industry,and the dyeing and finishing of textiles
are also important industries in Lawrence. The statistics for the paper mills and the dyeing and finishing
establishments, however, can not be presented separately for Lawrence in Table I without disclosing the
Operations of individual establishments.
Worcester continued to be the third city of the state
ill rank according to value of products, showing an
increase in this respect of 47.9 per cent from 1904 to
1909. The city owes its position to a comparatively
Wide range of industries, important among which
are foundries and machine shops, with products valued
at$13,219,000; the manufacture of woolen and worsted
goods, with products valued at $4,460,000; the clothing industries, with products valued at $2,498,000;
thAzi manufacture of boots and shoes, with products
valued at $2,414,000; bakeries, with products valued
$1,472,000; and printing and publishing, with products valued at $1,233,000. In 1909,23 per cent of the
Wage earners reported for all manufacturing industries
,
the city were employed in foundries and machine
84°PS. The manufacture of steel, wire,leather belting
and hose, corsets, paper goods, carpets and rugs, and
ulery and abrasive wheels, and slaughtering and meat
eking are also important industries, but the statistics
each are included under the head of All other
udustries for Worcester in Table I, in order not to

With the exception of St. Louis, Mo., which held
third place in 1909, Lynn,Brockton, and Haverhill are
the three most important centers of the boot and shoe
industry in the entire country, ranking in the order
named. The value of the boots and shoes manufactured in 1909 in the three Massachusetts cities was
$46,660,000,$39,293,000,and $29,150,000,respectively.
The aggregate value, $115,103,000, which represented
the output of 516 factories that gave employment to
an average of 38,455 wage earners,formed 48.7 per cent
of the total for the industry in the state, 39.2 per cent
of the total for the New England states, and 22.4 per
• cent of that for the country as a whole. In Lynn the
value of products of the boot and shoe industry in 1909
formed 65.3 per ccnt of the total value of products
reported for the city. Other important industries
there were the manufacture of electrical machinery
(shown under the head of "All other industries" in
Table I), leather (tanned, curried, and finished), and
patent medicines. From 1904 to 1909 there was an
increase of 30 per cent in the value of all manufactured
products in Lynn. The corresponding percentages of
increase for Brockton and Haverhill were 21.6 per cent
and 44.7 per cent,respectively. In the two cities last
mentioned the boot and shoe industry contributed 85.5
per cent and 82.4 per cent, respectively, of the total
value of products, the remaining industries being of
comparatively little importance.
Fall River, Lowell, and New Bedford, which in the
value of manufactured products in 1909 ranked fifth,
sixth,and seventh,respectively,in the state,owe their
prominence primarily to the manufacture of cotton
goods. In 1909the total value of cotton goods produced
in Fall River was $48,576,000, or 75.7 per cent of the
value of all productsfor the city; in Lowell,$24,744,000,
or 41.1 per cent of the total; and in New Bedford,
$42,505,000, or 79.8 per cent of the total. These
three cities led all others in the state as well as in the
United States in the manufacture of this class of textiles. Of the remaining industries in these cities, the
dyeing and finishing of textiles, the manufacture of furfelt hats, and the foundry and machine-shop industry
wereimportantin Fall River,thefirst two beingincluded
under the head of "All other industries" for Fall River
in Table I; the manufacture of woolen and worsted
goods,of hosiery and knit goods,and of carpets and rugs,
foundries and machine shops, the tanning, currying,
and finishing of leather, the manufacture of boots and
shoes, and of patent medicines,and the lumber industry in Lowell, the hosiery and knit goods, the carpet
and rug, and the leather industries being included
under "All other industries" for Lowell in Table I;
and the boot and shoe, brass and bronze products,
.and bakery industries in New Bedford, the first two
being included under "All other industries"for New
Bedford in Table I. During the five-year period from
1904 to 1909 the value of products reported for all
manufacturing industries increased 47.6 per cent in
Fall River, 28.6 per cent in Lowell, and 80.7 per cent
in New Bedford.

SUPPLEMENT FOR MASSACHUSETTS.

Cambridge,the ninth manufacturing cityin the state,
is dependent upon no one industry for its industrial
position. Although the.total value of products for the
city in 1909 shows but little gain over that reported in
1904, a large increase is shown for the period from 1899
to 1904. Among the industries of importance,as measured by value of products, are foundries and machine
shops, printing and publishing, bakeries, the manufacture of rubber belting and hose, rubber boots and
shoes, pianos and organs and materials, electrical
machinery, and blacking and cleansing preparations,
the confectionery and the furniture industries, and
the refining of cane sugar.
Holyoke is the center of the paper industry in the
state and also the leading city in the United States in
the manufacture of fine paper. The value of products
of the Holyoke paper and pulp mills in 1909 was
$12,305,000, which represented 30.7 per cent both of
the total value of products reported for the paper and
wood-pulp industry of the state and of the total value
of products for all manufacturing industries of the
city. The manufacture of all textiles combined is
even more important in Holyoke, however, than the
paper industry; the output of the leading classes of textiles made there- being valued at $18,104,000 in 1909.
Other prominent industries are the foundries and
machine shops, with an output valued at $2,095,000;
the manufacture of stationery goods, with products
valued at $1,930,000; paper goods, with products
valued at $1,424,000; and printing and publishing,
with products valued at $1,450,000.
Somerville outranked all other cities of the state in
the slaughtering and meat-packing industry, which
constituted the principal manufacturing activity of
the city. Of the total value of manufactured products
for this city in 1909, amounting to $38,687,000, this
industry contributed $31,270,000, or 80.8 per cent.
The remaining industries are of little comparative
importance. The total value of the manufactures of
the city increased 68.5 per cent from 1904 to 1909.
Springfield is the thirteenth city of the state in the
value of manufactured products. The leading industries in 1909, as measured by value of products,
were automobiles, including bodies and parts, printing and publishing, paper goods, and foundry and
machine-shop products. The statistics for the city as
a whole are not fully representative, however, of its
manufacturing activities, since they do not include
those for the Springfield Armory, operated by the
Federal Government. In 1909 this establishment
employed an average of 1,125 wage earners during the
year and turned out products valued at $1,312,568.
In Fitchburg the leading branch of manufacture was •
the production of textiles, the output of which represented 40.2 per cent of the value of all products
manufactured in the city in 1909. There were, however, a number of other important industries, chief of
which were the production of paper and wood pulp,


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

foundries and machine shops, steam-railroad repair
shops, and the manufacture of saws.
Chelsea owes its prominence in manufactures to the
production of rubber goods and of boots and shoes, the
printing and publishing industry, and the manufacture
of suspenders and elastic goods, which four industries
gave employment to nearly three-fourths of the total
number of wage earners engaged in all manufacturing
industries in the city. Of the remaining industries in
the city the foundries and machine shops were the
most important.
Peabody led all cities and towns of the state in the
tanning, currying, and finishing of leather, reporting an
output valued at $12,893,653 in 1909 and $7,010,370
in 1904, the increase for the five-year period being
$4,974,283, or 62.8 per cent. The value of this class
of products constituted 82.9 per cent of the total for
the town in 1909 and 77.4 per cent in 1904.
In Woburn the tanning, currying, and finishing of
leather also largely predominates, the value of the
leather manufactured in 1909 being $3,415,105 out of
$5,408,081 reported for all manufactures in the city'.
Taunton, Plymouth, Webster, North Adams, Clinton, Northampton, Adams, Newton, and Methuen are
all textile-manufacturing cities or towns. The cotton'
goods industry was the most prominent in Taunton;
North Adams, Adams, and Methuen, although the
output of woolen and worsted goods was also large in
North Adams. The leading industry of Plymouth was
the production of cordage and twine, followed closelY
by that of worsted goods. In Clinton the manufacture
of carpets and rugs and that of cotton goods were
the most important. The chief industry in Northampton was the production of silk and silk goods
,
although hosiery and knit goods were extensivell
manufactured. The woolen and worsted goods indlie
;
try led in Webster and in Newton; the manufacture edi
cotton goods and boots and shoes and the dyeing srl
finishing of textiles were also important in Webster.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
prominent industries in Salem were the manufacture
of leather and of cotton goods; in Newburyport, the
manufacture of silverware and plated ware; in Weymouth, the manufacture of fertilizers; and in Milford,
the straw-hat industry. Of the value of products
reported for Watertown, Malden, and Melrose, a
large part represented that of rubber boots and shoes,
although worsted mills were also important in Watertown and the soap factories in Malden. The totals
presented for Watertown do not include the statistics
for the arsenal in that city, operated by the Federal
Government. In 1909 this plant employed an average of 482 wage earners and turned out products,
mainly gun carriages, valued at $859,936.
About two-fifths of the wage earners reported for
Leominster in 1909 were engaged in the manufacture
of fancy articles from ivory, shell, and bone,including
combs and hairpins, which were valued at $4,245,578,
or 40.3 per cent of the total value of products for the
town. The production of pianos and materials and
that of shirts were also prominent among the various
Manufactures in Leominster.
In Quincy shipbuilding, marble and stone work,and
the manufacture of iron and steel, bolts, nuts, washers,
and rivets predominated; in Everett the chief products
Were coke, chemicals, boots and shoes, and foundry
and machine-shop products; and in Framingham,
Paper goods, boots and shoes, and worsted goods.

Waltham ranked first in 1909 among the cities and
towns of the state in the manufacture of clocks and
watches, Gloucester in canning and preserving, Westfield in the manufacture of whips, Gardner in the furniture industry, and Southbridge in the manufacture of
optical goods. In the manufacture of whips Westfield
also outranks all other cities and,towns of the United
States. The most import'antindustry in Greenfield was
the manufacture of cutlery and edge tools, and that in
Wakefield the manufacture of hosiery and knit goods.
The manufacture of cotton goods was also an important industry in Waltham; the manufacture of glue,in
Gloucester; foundries and machine shops,in Westfield;
the manufacture of children's carriages and sleds, in
Gardner; the furniture industry, in Wakefield; the
worsted-goods industry,in Southbridge;and the manufacture of silverware and plated ware, in Greenfield.
The manufacture of machinery was the leading
industry in Beverly and Hyde Park, although the boot
and shoe industry in the former, and steam-railroad
repair shops in the latter, were nearly as important.
The remaining places included in the preceding
table-Medford, Arlington, Brookline, Revere, and
Winthrop-are comparatively unimportant from a
manufacturing standpoint.

-The tendency for manufacSize of establishment.
turing 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 following table groups
the establishments according to the value of their
products. The table also shows the average size of
establishments for all industries combined and for
important industries separately, as measured by number of wage earners, value of products, and value
added by manufacture. The totals for all industries
are shown for the last two censuses, while for the industries presented separatelyfigures are given for 1909only.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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.
Facts of interest can, however, be brought out concerning the relative importance of the different classes of
expenses which 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 II, page 680.

This table shows that, for all industries combined,
62.9 per cent of the total expenses were incurred for
Materials, 27.6 per cent for services-that is, salaries
and wages-and but 9.5 per cent for other purposes.
As would be expected, these proportions vary greatly
in the different industries. The largest proportions
for the various items of expense in the industries shown
separately are as follows: For salaries, 14.8 per cent in
Printing and publishing; for wages, 52.8 per cent in
tlarble and stone work;for materials, 92.3 per cent in
slaaightering and meat packing; and for miscellaneous
expenses, which include internal-revenue taxes, 42.6

2 Not reported.

The table indicates that the total primary horsepower increased 141,946, or 17.8 per cent,from 1899 to
1904 and 237,064, or 25.3 per cent, from 1904 to 1909.
The greater part of this increase was in owned steam
and rented electric power. In 1909, as in 1904, steam
power formed the major part of the total power
reported, but notwithstanding an increase .during the
five-year period of 144,234 horsepower, the proportion
which this kind of power formed of the total primary
power decreased from 73.6 per cent in 1904 to 71 per
cent in 1909. The more general use of gas engines in
recent years is shown, 896 such engines with an indicated capacity of 18,326 horsepower being reported in
1909, as against 654 engines with a capacity of 7,487
horsepower in 1904 and 468-engine§ with a capacity of
4,074 horsepower in 1899. The figures also show that
the practice of renting electric power is increasing
rapidly, 9.4 per cent of the total power being of this
character in 1909, as compared with 2.9 per cent in
1904 and 1.7 per cent in 1899. The use of electric
motors for the purpose of applying the power generated within the manufacturing establishments is rapidly becoming more common, the horsepower of such
motors having increasod from 19,419 in 1899 to 63,939
in 1904 and 292,496 in 1909.
-Closely related to the question of the kind

of power employed is that of the fuel consumed in
generating this power, or otherwise used as material in
the manufacturing processes. The next table shows
the quantity of each kind of fuel used ift 1909 for all
industries combined and for certain selected industries.

one-fifth of the worsted dress goods manufactured in
the United States in 1909.
The output of goods woven on cotton warps was
104,303,227 square yards in 1909, compared with
87,766,935 square yards in 1904 and 55,244,610 square
yards in 1899, these figures representing 49.6 per cent,
48.2 per cent, and 36.1 per cent, respectively, of the
total quantities of such fabrics manufactured in all
woolen and worsted mills of the Union in the years
named. Worsted-filling dress goods constituted the
most important class of cotton-warp goods at each of
the three censuses. In the quantity of satinets and
linseys a marked decrease is shown, from 17,559,146
square yards in 1904 to 4,120,737 square yards in 1909.
The growth of the worsted branch of the industry is
further indicated by the increases throughout the
10-year period in the quantity of worsted yarn manufactured for sale. The production of worsted yarn and
tops for sale in 1909 was 26,180,428 pounds, which was
10,749,618 pounds, or 69.7 per cent, more than in 1904,
and 17,301,860 pounds, or 194.9 per cent, more than
in 1899. To the extent that the yarns, waste, and
noils manufactured for sale were sold by the establishments in the state producing them to other establishments in the state engaged in the same industry,
for use as materials in their manufacturing processes,
a duplication is involved in both the total cost of
materials and value of products for the industry.

Massachusetts, where the industry in the United States
had its beginning. The only stocking factory in the
United States in 1831 was located at Newburyport.
In 1837, however, an establishment for the manufacture of knit hose and shirts was started at Lowell.'
In 1859 there were 15 knitting mills in operation in
the state, and the value of their products was $314,000.
The first statement on the following page shows the
quantity and cost of the different kinds of materials
used in 1909, 1904, and 1899.
The principal material used was raw cotton, the
cost of which formed over one-fourth of the total cost
of all materials used during each of the three census
years. The cost of cotton yarn formed about the
same proportion of the total, although the quantity
used was only about two-fifths as great as that of raw
cotton in 1909, less than one-third as great in 1904,
and less than one-fourth as great in 1899. From 1904
to 1909 there was an increase in the amount of each
kind of yarn consumed, except worsted yarn, which
also decreased in value. The quantity of cotton yarn
nearly doubled during the five years, while the value
ncreased 74.6 per cent. The largest relative gain is
shown for merino yarn. Shoddy decreased in both
quantity and value, and wool waste and noils decreased in quantity only.

each of the five-year periods. Cardigan jackets,
sweaters, etc., however, show larger relative increases
from 1904 to 1909 in both number and value than any
other class of products.
Other textile industries.
-The manufacture of cordage and twine and jute and linen goods ranked third
among the textile industries of the state in 1909, as
measured by value of products; that of carpets and
rugs, other than rag,fifth; that of silk and silk goods,
including the operations of throwsters,sixth; that of
fur-felt hats, seventh; and that of shoddy, eighth.
A detailed statement of the materials and products for
these industries can not be shown without disclosing
the operations of individual establishments. However, the principal products of the carpet factories
were Wilton, Axminster, and Brussels carpets; of the
silk mills, plain and fancy silk-mixed broad silks; and
of the shoddy mills, shoddy and mungo, amounting to
11,661,993 pounds and valued at $1,325,053. In the
felt-hat factories 320,587 dozen fur-felt hats, valued
at $3,544,067, were made in 1909, an increase compared
with 1904 of 85,795 dozens,or 36.5 per cent,in number)

The changes in this industry were due mainly to the
fluctuations in the production of the two staple products, fresh beef and fresh pork. It will be noted that
the quantity of fresh beef increased 22,549,934 pounds,
or 125.6 per cent, from 1899 to 1904, but decreased
5,920,687 pounds, or 14.6 per cent, from 1904 to 1909.
In the production of fresh pork there was an increase
of 37,610,356 pounds, or 84.5 per cent, during the
ettrlier five-year period, 'followed by a decline of
15,649,633 pounds, or 19.1 per cent, during the next
five years. The output of mutton and lard, although
showing substantial increases from 1899 to 1904, decreased from 1904 to 1909. The production of salted
or cured pork, including hams, bacon, and shoulders,
decreased during both five-year periods, while that of
salted or cured beef, veal, and hides and the amount
received for custom work increased during the 10
years.
In 1909, 62;900 beeves, 129,162 calves, 342,491
sheep, and 1,501,456 hogs were slaughtered in the
wholesale establishments of the state, as compared

Book paper and fine paper are the principal products of the Massachusetts paper mills. In 1909 the
State contributed 18 per cent of the total quantity of
book
paper and 45.2 per cent of the total amount of
Writing and other fine paper produced in the United
States. The corresponding proportions for fine paper
In 1904 and 1899 were 55 per cent and 60.4 per cent,
le
'spectively. The production of wrapping paper decreased between 1899 and 1904, while that of boards
increased steadily during the decade and the value of
building, roofing, sheathing, and asbestos paper more
than trebled.
The number and capacity of the paper machines, the
number of digesters and grinders, and the total yearly
capacity of the mills in pulp and in paper for 1909,

Calf and kip skins not only constitute the most important class of material, but show a greater increase
during the decade than any other class. Hides and
every kind of skins except goatskins, were used in
larger quantities in 1909 than in 1904 or 1899. In
1909, 27.6 per cent of the calf and kip skins tanned in
the United States were treated in the Massachusetts
tanneries, while the proportion for cattle hides was
6.8 per cent.
The next table presents the quantity and value of
the different products for this industry in 1909, 1904,
and 1899.

of the sides of grain, satin, and pebble upper leather.
The amount received for tanning, currying, or
finishing for others more than doubled from 1899 to
1904 and nearly doubled from 1904 to 1909. The
estimated value after treatment of the stock treated
for others who were not tanners, curriers, or finishers
was $13,324,293 in 1909. If this amount be added to
the total value of products, $40,002,079, reported for

The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for
further dressing or refining; the cost of such materials is shown
separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state
the total amount of capital invested in the enterprise on the last day
of the business year reported, as shown by his books. There is,
however, a great diversity in the methods of bookkeeping in use by
different operators. As a,result, the statistics for capital lack uniformity. Some of the figures reported apparently represent capital
stock at face value; others include large investments in mineral
lands which are not at present being actively mined, but are held in
reserve; still others may include expenditures for unproductive
mining ventures in no way related to the operations carried on
during the census year.
Persons engaged in mining industries.—The statistics of the number of operators and officials, clerks, and wage earners, are based
on the returns for December 15, or the nearest representative day.
The reported number of wage earners includes overseers and foremen performing work similar to that of the men over whom they
have charge; those whose duties are wholly supervisory are classed
as superintendents and managers. Because of the common practice
is
of shutting down mines at frequent intervals, it impossible to
degree of accuracy the average numascertain with any satisfactory

Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
were obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the

presenting these statistics. The Geological Surferent methods in

Comparison of mining industries: 1902-19o9.—In
order to make comparisons between 1909 and 1902 it
is necessary to omit from the 1902 figures, as given in
the mines and quarries report for that year, statistics
for enterprises operated by governmental institutions
and to add to the 1909 statistics, figures for the production of lime, which were omitted from the census of
mines and quarries in 1909. Such items as are comparable for the two years are presented in Table 6.

Duplication between manufactures and mining.—In
a number of industries some of the operators subjected the products obtained to certain manufacturing
processes on the premises before marketing. These
enterprises have been included in the statistics both for
manufactures and for mining. As a result of this fact
the combined value of products for the manufacturing
and mining industries in Massachusetts involves a duplication of $2,151,708. Of this amount,$1,743,400
represented the value of granite duplicated, $252,557
the value of marble,and $106,831 and $48,920, respectively, the value of sandstone and talc and soapstone.

THIRTEENTH CENSUS PUBLICATIONS.
The results of the Thirteenth Decennial Census will be published in
two for-ms: A comprehensive report in 12 volumes, and a condensed
report, the Abstract of the Thirteenth Census, which is being issued
with Supplements for the different states.
The material contained in the Supplements embraces for each state
all of the census results published concerning the state, its counties,
cities, and other civil divisions, except as to occupations. This material
is bound up in one volume with the Abstract of the Thirteenth
Decennial Census. The result is a series of editions of the Abstract
each with a different State Supplement, with the purpose of furnishing
those who receive the Abstract with the statistics of the state in which
they reside.
The material contained in the various State Supplements will also be
printed by subjects in the final reports. The chapters relating to Population for all of the states will be assembled in two volumes of the final
report on Population; those relating to Agriculture, in two volumes of
the final report on that subject; those relating to Manufactures, in one
volume of the final report on Manufactures; and those relating to
Mining, in the final report on Mining.
The present pamphlet is a reprint of the State Supplement. It
contains no material which is not available in the bound volume of the
Abstract for the state to which it refers, or in the complete final report
of the Thirteenth Census, and has been issued in a very limited edition
for special purposes.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of
New Hampshire, by counties and minor civil divisions,
as enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of population where possible, and a statement and discussion
for the state as a whole of the population living in
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
in detail in two general tables.
Table 1 (p.572) shows the population of New Hampshire, distributed according to counties and minor civil
divisions, at the last three censuses, namely, those of
1910,1900,and 1890. The arrangementof counties and
of the primary divisions in each county is alphabetical.
The figures for the two secondary divisions are printed
in italics. With two exceptions the minor civil divisions as reported in 1910 are the same as in 1900.
For changes in boundaries, name, or form of organization between 1890 and 1900 reference must be made
to the census report of 1900.
Table 2 (p. 573) shows all cities, the towns having
in 1910 over 2,500 inhabitants, and the incorporated
villages of New Hampshire, alphabetically arranged,
with their population in 1910, 1900, and 1890.
The population of New Hampshire, by counties, at
each of the last five censuses,from 1870 to 1910,inclusive; the increase during the last two decades; the
density of population at the census of 1910; and the
distribution of the population at the last two censuses
according to urban and rural districts, are given in
Table I of Chapter 2.
The census usage in regard to certain terms is explained as follows:
Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units, which bear different designations in the
HISTORICAL NOTE.—New Hampshire takes its name from the county of
Hampshire in England,which was the home of Capt. John Mason,one of the early
proprietors of what is now the eastern portion of the state.
It is not certain whether the first European to visit the territory now constituting
New Hampshire was Martin Pring, who is believed by some to have sailed up the
Piscataqua River in 1603 as far as what is now Dover, or Capt. John Smith, who
explored the coast to some extent in his voyage to New England in 1614. This
region was included in the grants made by James I of England to the Plymouth
Company in 1608 and 1620. In 1622 the Council for New England,as the Plymouth
Company was usually known, granted to Capt. John Mason and Sir Ferdinando
Gorges all the land lying along the seacoast and for 60 miles inland between the
Merrimac and Kennebec Rivers with all the islands adjacent. In 1629 Mason
received from the Council for New England an individual grant of that part of this
territory which lay west of the Piscataqua River (the lower course of which now
forms a portion of the boundary between New Hampshire and Maine), which he
named New Hampshire. In the same year Mason and Gorges received the patent
for Laconia,a much larger tract which may have extended to Lake Champlain.
In 1623 the first settlement was made at what is now Little Harbor in the town
of Rye by David Thomson. Dover was also settled before 1628. Portsmouth was
founded about 1630, Exeter in 1638, and Hampton in 1638 or 1639. At first the
scattered settlements were practically independent and without much organized
government, but in 1641 the towns on the Piscataqua and its branches submitted
to the jurisdiction of Massachusetts Bay and in 1643 Exeter petitioned to join the

different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election
precincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions, those which rank
next to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In many instances, however, these primary divisions contain political units of still smaller area, such as cities, incorporated
villages, or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to
as secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defined.—The Census Bureau, for
purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that
residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more. In the New England States, in addition to cities
having this population, all towns having a population of 2,500
or more have also been classed as urban, without regard to the
population of the villages (whether incorporated as such or not)
which they may contain. The result is that the "urban areas"
in New England include some population which in other sections of the United States would be segregated as "rural." This
departure from the general rule, rendered necessary by local
conditions in New England, probably makes no great change in the
proportions of urban and rural population in those sections where
population is dense and generally devoted to manufacturing. In
other sections a considerable variation doubtless results, but there
is no reason to suppose that it materially affects the distinguishing
characteristics of urban and rural population as defined by census
statistics.
Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the state
or county is classed as rural. In the New England States, therefore,
the rural population consists of the population outside of towns and
cities having 2,500 inhabitants or more.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations
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 preceding census, it is necessary to classify the
territory according to the conditions as they existed at each census. In this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants
in 1900 and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population
for 1900 and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order
to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as regards their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider the
changes in population for the same territory which have occurred
from one decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory
union. Hampton appears to have been considered from the date of its settlement
as coming under the jurisdiction of Massachusetts Bay.
In 1679 New Hampshire was made a royal province. In 1690,subsequent to the
fall of Andros, a number of the citizens petitioned Massschusetts to assume the
government again, and accordingly the revolutionary provisional government of
Ma-ssachusetts took charge of New Hampshire. In 1692, however, New Hampshire
was once more made a separate province.
In 1740 the eastern and southern limits of New Hampshire were established,substantially as they now exist, by royal decree.
From 1749 the territory west of the Connecticut River(now Vermont) had been
a subject of controversy between New Hampshire and New York, but in 1784 the
claim of the latter colony was sustained by royal decree. Nevertheless, the"New
Hampshire Grants"(as this region was then called) remained in dispute between
New Hampshire and New York until 1782, when a compromise was made recognizing the independence of Vermont, which had already been proclaimed by a convention at Westminster in 1777.
New Hampshire was one of the original thirteen states.
According to estimates and censuses taken prior to the first Federal census, in
1790, the population of the colony of New Hampshire at different dates was as
follows: 1641 (estimate), 1,000; 1675 (estimate), 4,000; 1689 (estimate), 6,000; 1716
(estimate), 9,000; 1721 (estimate), 9,500; 1732 (estimate), 12,500; 1742 (estimate),
24,000; 1749 (estimate), 30,000; 1761 (estimate), 38,000; 1767 (census), 52,700; 1773.

the basis, and the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturb-

ing effect on comparisons which would arise from the passage, for
example, of communities formerly classed as rural into the urban
group. These two distinct forms of comparison are made in Table I
of Chapter 2 for the state as a whole and for each county separately

The urban territory of the state in 1910-that is,
cities and towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 255,099 inhabitants, or 59.2 per cent of the
total population, while 175,473 inhabitants, or 40.8
per cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory
as it existed in 1900-that is, cities and towns then
having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 226,269
inhabitants, or 55 per cent of the total population,
while 185,319 inhabitants, or 45 per cent, lived in
rural territory. There has thus been a considerable
increase in the proportion of urban population. For
the United States as a whole the urban population
constituted 46.3 per cent of the total population in
1910 and 40.5 per cent of the total population in 1900.
Table I of Chapter 2 shows that in every county in
the state a larger proportion of the population lived
in urban territory in 1910 than in 1900.
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 basis and
the aggregate population in 1910 and in 1900 of the
same places is then compared. Thus, as shown in the
next table, the total population in 1910 of those cities
and towns which at that time had 2,500 inhabitants
or more was 255,099; in 1900 the total population of
these same places was 226,007. It may be noted that
the latter figure is less than the total population in
1900 of those places which at that time had over 2,500
inhabitants each, 226,269 (see table above), by 262.
The difference is the net result of the passage, since
1900, of a community from the rural to the urban
class and vice versa.

The comparison of the total population in 1910 of
places having a population of not less than 2,500 each
with the total population of the same places in 1900,
as given in the following table, shows an increase of
12.9 per cent. During the same period the rural
population,comprising the remainder of the state, has
decreased 5.4 per cent. The population of urban areas
thus increased nearly three times as rapidly as that of
the state as a whole, while the population of rural territory decreased. For the United States as a whole
urban population increased 34.9 per cent in the last
decade and rural population 11.2 per cent. As shown
by Table I of Chapter 2, there was a decrease in the
population living in rural territory and an increase in
the population living in urban territory in every county
in New Hampshire.
For the state as a whole urban population is still
further distributed in the following table, which shows
the combined population in 1910 and 1900 of the places
having, in 1910, 25,000 inhabitants or more, the combined population of places having, in 1910, from 2,500

remainder of the state.

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.
-The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of New Hampshire by counties
and minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and
the density of population, and the proportions urban
and rural, the present chapter deals with the composition and characteristics of the population. The two
chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes.
-The greater part of this
Description of the tables.
Chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage,sex, citizenship,
illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings and families, as follows: Table I for the state and counties;
Table II for the two cities of more than 25,000 inhabitants; Table III for cities of 10,000 to 25,000; Table
IV for cities and towns of 2,500 to 10,000; and Table
V for wards of Manchester, the only city of more than
50,000 inhabitants.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 14)
reproduces from the general tables the more important
state and city totals; and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital
condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the statistics on each subject are shown according to race, and
for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage,
and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign born
or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage-that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign
parentage-having both parents born abroad; (3)
native, mixed parentage-having one parent native
and the other foreign born; (4) foreign born. As the
second and third classes do not differ 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, it is desirable that the two classes be distinguished in presenting census data. The Bureau of the Census has
undertaken to do this by classifying as urban the population of all incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or
more. In New England, however, where many villages
of considerable size are not separately incorporated, it
was deemed best to classify also towns of 2,500 inhabit-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

ants or more as urban, although this classification
is not very satisfactory because such towns generally
include more or less population that is essentially rural.
The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time between September 1, 1909, and the date of enumeration, April 15,
1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person
10 years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).
-Of the total population of New Hampshire, 230,231, or 53.5 per cent, are
native whites of native parentage; 103,117, or 23.9
per cent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage; 96,558, or 22.4 per cent, are foreign-born whites;
and 564, or 0.1 per cent, are negroes. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 58.9, 19.5, 21.4, and 0.2,
respectively, the proportion of native whites of native
parentage having decreased during the decade. The
percentage of foreign-born whites in the different counties ranges from 8.2 in Carroll to 27.5 in Coos and 34.4
in Hillsborough. (See maps on page 581.)
Of the urban population, 41 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 71.5 per cent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of
foreign or mixed parentage are 29.3 and 16.1 per cent,
respectively. The percentage of foreign-born whites is
29.5 in the urban population and 12.2 in the rural.
-In the total population of the state

there are 216,290 males and 214,282 females, or 100.9
males to 100 females. In 1900 the ratio was 99.6 to 100.
Among native whites the ratio is 98.3 to 100; among
foreign-born whites,110.4 to 100. In the urban population there are 96.8 males to 100 females, and in the
rural, 107.2.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR TEE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—This chapter presents a complete statement. of the statistics of agriculture for New Hampshire collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of
farms 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 farmed 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 any
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
census definition, is a person who directs the operation of a farm.
Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according to the
character 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 census
reports as "part owners," the term "owners" 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-third, or one-quarter; (2) share-cash
tenants—tho-e v lio pay a share of the products for part of the land
rented by them and cash for part; and (3) cash tenants—those who

$7, 10 bushels of wheat, or 100 pounds of seed cotton per acre.
Managers are farmers who are conducting farm operations for the
owner for wages or a salary.
Farm land.—Farm land is divided into (1) improved land, (2)
f
woo(lland, and (3) all other unimproved land. The same classiication was followed in 1880. At former censuses, except that of
1980, farm land wa s divided into improved land and unimproved
'and, woodland being included with unimproved land. Improved

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation, land lying fallow, land in gardens, orchards,
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 unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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
were unable to make 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 duplication 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 products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
New Hampshire ranks forty-third in area and thirtyninth in population among the states of continental
United States. It has passed out of the class of states
that are adding materially to their total farm area,
and,in fact, has a little less land in farms than it had
in 1850. The soil of the state shows the effect of
glacial action on granite and a partial reworking by
the rivers of the glacial deposits. The result is a
considerable variety in productiveness, the more fertile
soils being along the slower streams. The soils of the
valleys, coastal plain, and rounded hills are relatively
fertile, but the highlands are rough, rocky,and mountainous, and become more rugged as they extend
northward until the White Mountains are reached.
The presence of bowlders and the general topography
prevent the use of farm machinery on a large scale
and encourage pasturage and permanent meadows
rather than grain growing. The present trend of agriculture in this state is toward forestry, dairying, fruit
growing, and, in the southeastern part, trucking.

The two maps on the opposite page show, for the
different counties, the proportion of the total land area
which is in farms and the average value of farm land
per acre. Of the state's entire land area, 56.2 per cent,
or nearly three-fifths, is in farms, and, as shown by the
first map, Coos is the only county which has less than
two-fifths of its land surface in farms, while in the
next two counties to the south the proportion is between two -fifths and three-fifths. In every county
farther south at least three-fifths is in farms.
The average value per acre of farm land for the
whole state is $13.70, and, as shown by the second
map, the average value in every county falls between
$10 and $25 per acre, the highest averages being in
the southern counties.
Progress during the decade 1900 to 1910.—The following table summarizes for the state the more significant
facts relating to its population and land area, the
number, value, and acreage of its farms, and the value
of all other farm property in 1910 and 1900:

Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase of
about 19,000, or 4.6 per cent, in the population of the
state, while there was a decrease of 2,271, or 7.7 per
cent,in the number of farms, and of 360,406 acres, or 10
per cent,in the area of farm land. As a result of these
changes the average size of farms decreased 3 acres.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings, implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic animals, poultry, and bees), increased in value during
the decade nearly $18,000,000, or 20.8 per cent. This
great increase includes increases of nearly $7,000,000 in
the value of buildings and over $9,000,000 in the value
of land, the latter representing an advance of 39.4 per
cent in average value per acre. There was also an
increase of over $2,000,000 in the value of farm equip-

ment, including implements and machinery and live
stock. Of the increase last mentioned, two-thirds
represents a gain in the value of live stock and onethird the increase in the value of implements and
machinery. In considering the increase of values in
agriculture, the general increase in the prices of all
commodities in the last 10 years should be borne in
mind.
The average value of a farm with its equipment in
1900 was slightly more than $2,900, as compared with
83,800, 10 years later. The average value of land
alone rose from $9.83 per acre in 1900 to $13.70 in
1910, this advance being accompanied by increases in
the average value per farm of implements and machinery and of live stock.

In the 60 years since 1850 the population of the
state has increased by 112,596, or 35.4 per cent.
There were 27,053 farms in New Hampshire in 1910,
or 2,176 fewer than in 1850. This decrease was not
continuous, but was interrupted by an increase during
each alternate decade. The greatest number (32,181)
was reported in 1880. The general movements indicated by the table are a net increase during the first
30 years and a net decrease during the last 30 years.
The number of farms decreased 2,271 in the last decade, or 227 per year. In one county only was there
any increase in the number of farms, all the others
showing a decrease, which in some instances was very
marked.
The land surface of New Hampshire is approximately 5,779,840 acres. Of this area, 3,249,458 acres,
or 56.2 per cent, are included in farms. The total
acreage of farm land decreased 10 per cent during the
last decade. Of the farm acreage, 929,185 acres, or
28.6 per cent, are reported as improved land, representing 16.1 per cent of the total land area of the state.
The acreage of improved land decreased from 1900 to
1910 by a greater percentage than did the total acreage of farms, the percentage of farm land improved
being slightly lower in 1910 than in 1900.
The table given above shows also that both the
total farm acreage and the acreage of improved land
were smaller in 1910 than in any of the preceding census
years. The total farm acreage has increased and decreased a Remotely during each successive decade since
1850, while the acreage of improved land, although increasing in the decade ending 1860, has since that date
shown a continuous decrease. Although the acreage of
farm land has decreased more rapidly during the past

The total wealth in the form of farm property
is $103,704,000, of which 82.8 per cent is represented

total value of farm property increased from 1900 to
1910 by $17,862,000, or 20.8 per cent. Of this increase
$15,792,000 represents the increase in the value of land

that of live stock. The actual and also the relative gain

In average size the New Hampshire farm has on the

The average size was greater in 1900 than in any other
year. There was a pronounced increase between
1850 and 1860, followed by a slight decrease during
the next 10 years, subsequent fluctuations resulting
in a small net decrease. Between 1900 and 1910 there
was a decrease of 3 acres.

The average value of a New Hampshire farm, including its equipment, is more than $3,800, of which
about $3,200 represents the value of land and buildings, $440 the value of live stock, and $217 the value
of implements and machinery. The average value of
land and buildings has increased $7.01 per acre during

'Prior to 1910 nonspecifled tenants were included with cash tenants.

The total number of farms decreased 2,271 during
the last decade, those operated by owners and managers decreasing 1,965, while those operated by tenants decreased only 306.
In 1880 eight out of every hundred farms were operated by tenants, since which time the relative number of owned farms has been slowly increasing, until
now only about seven out of every hundred farms are
operated by tenants.
Throughout the 30-year period the relative number

It will be seen that, in 1910, 88.1 per cent of all land
in farms was in farms operated by their owners
(including part owners), 6.5 per cent in farms operated
by managers, and 5.4 per cent in farms operated by
tenants, the percentage for owners and for tenants
being slightly lower and that for managers higher than
in 1900.
As shown by the next table, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (307.8 acres)
was very much greater than that of farms operated by
owners (116.9 acres), which was in turn somewhat
larger than that of farms operated by tenants (93.8
acres). The average size of farms operated by managers increased between 1900 and 1910, while that of
farms operated by owners and by tenants decreased.
In 1910 the percentage of farm land improved was
highest for farms operated by tenants and lowest for
those operated by managers.

Farm mortgages: 1890 to 1910.
-The Eleventh
Census (1890) was the first to collect data relating to
mortgage debt on farms. The basis of the returns was
the "farm home" occupied by its owner. The same
class of information was secured by the population
schedules of the Twelfth Census (1900). The agricultural schedules of the Thirteenth Census(1910)secured
practically the same information, except that the basis
"was "owned farms" instead of "owned farm homes
a difference involving, however, no appreciable incomparability.
The following table relates to farms operated by
persons owning all or part of the land, and shows for
1910 (1) the number of such farms reported as free
from mortgage;(2)the number reported as mortgaged;
and (3) the number for which no mortgage reports
were secured. Comparable items are included for 1900
and 1890.

The average debt of mortgaged farms increased in
20 years from $746 to $842, or 12.9 per cent, while the
average value of such farms rose from $1,940 to $2,728,
or 40.6 per cent; thus the owner's equity increased
from $1,194 to $1,886, or 58 per cent. As a result of
the greater increase in farm value than in farm debt,
the ratio of the mortgage indebtedness, which was
38.4 per cent in 1890 of the value of the farm, had
decreased in 1910 to 30.9 per cent of this value.

Farms by size groups: 1910 and 1900.
-The table
following shows the distribution of farms by size groups
at the censuses of 1910 and 1900.
Nearly half of the farms in New Hampshi
re are
between 50 and 174 acres in size. The greatest actual
and relative gain in number of farms from
1900 to
1910 was made in the "3 to 9 acres"
group, but the
"10 to 19 acres" group also increased
. The number
of places "under 3 acres" reported as
farms was only
one-fourth as great as 10 years ago. This
decrease may
be due to a different interpretation by
the enumerators
as to what to include as a small farm,
or may represent
an actual decrease in that type of
farm. A decrease
is shown for each group of farms
falling between 20
and 499 acres, the aggregate decrease
being 2,873, or
11.7 per cent. The farms which
exceed 500 acres in
size have increased 6, or less than 1
per cent.

According to the foregoing figures, the number of
mortgaged farm homes, or of mortgaged farms operated by their owners, has increased since 1890.
One-fourth of the owned farms are mortgaged, the
proportion being almost exactly the same as 10 years
ago, but considerably greater than in 1890. During
the last two decades the number of owned farms has
decreased 1,476, or 5.7 per cent, while the number of
owned farms which are mortgaged increased 575, or

10.2 per cent.

Color and nativity of farmers: 1910.-Prior to the

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 24.2
per cent was in farms of 100 to 174 acres, and 37.6
per cent in farms of 175 to 499 acres, these two being
from the standpoint of aggregate acreage the most
important size groups. Between 1900 and 1910 the
proportion of the total acreage contained in farms of
under 20 acres and in farms of 500 acres and over
increased, while the proportion in all other size groups
except that of from 20 to 49 acres decreased, the proportion in farms of 20 to 49 acres remaining the
same.
In general, as shown by the next 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
also diminishes with
the increase in the size of the

Nine-tenths of the New Hampshire farmers were in
1910 native whites and nearly one-tenth foreign-born
whites. Only 15, or one-tenth of 1 per cent, were other
than white. Of the native white farmers, 6.6 per cent
were tenants and 2.4 per cent managers, while of the
foreign-born white farmers, 9.8 per cent were tenants
and 3.3 per cent managers.
Of the 2,691 foreign-born white farmers in New
Hampshire in 1910, 1,697 were born in Canada; 263 in
Ireland; 236 in England; 90 in Germany; 92 in Scotland; and 88 in Sweden. Other European countries
were represented by a total of 204 farmers, and nonEuropean countries, other than Canada, by 21.

Less than one farmer out of two hundred reports

values of mules of the different ages are about $40
higher than those of horses of the corresponding age
groups, except in the case of spring colts.
Sheep and lambs are reported from 2,236 farms, or
8.3 per cent of all the farms in. the state. Of these
2,236 farms, 55.2 per cent report spring lambs, the
number of the latter being equal to 43.2 per cent of the
number of ewes; this small proportion is doubtless due
to the early date of enumeration. Ewes are reported
from all but OS of the farms reporting sheep, and for the
farms reporting the average is nearly 14 ewes per
farm. The farms reporting rams and wethers show
an average of over 3 per farm.
About two-fifths of all farms report swine, the number being somewhat in excess of 4 per farm reporting. The average value of the swine reported as
"hogs and pigs born before January 1, 1910," is
over $15, while that of spring pigs is less than onethird of this amount.

the

when the calves on hand were on
calving season, and
the average younger than at the enumeration of 1900.
As a result, the calves enumerated are fewer in number and of lower average value in 1910 than in 1900,
the number decreasing from 40,434 to 18,603, and the
average value from $7.57 to $6.66.
Horses are reported by 77.5 per cent of all the farms
in the state, but only 3.4 per cent report colts born
in 1909 and one-fifth of 1 per cent report spring colts.
The average value of spring colts is almost threefourths as great as that of yearling colts and considerably over a third as great as that of mature horses.

The increase in the number of fowls on New Hampshire farms during the last 10 years amounts to 5.3
per cent, but the value increased from $467,000 to
$649,000, or 39 per cent. The number of farms reporting poultry decreased from 23,500 to 20,966, but
the average number of fowls per farm reporting increased ,from 37 to 44. The value of poultry and the
number of farms reporting were obtained in 1900 for the
total of all fowls only, and not for each kind as in 1910.
Bees on farms: 1910 and 1900.
--The number of farms
reporting bees decreased from 1,288 to 1,002, or 22.2 per
cent, while the number of colonies of bees decreased
from 5,520 to 4,644, or 15.9 per cent, and their total
value from $24,665 to $23,593, or 4.3 per cent. A
greater relative decrease is found in the number of
farms reporting and the number of colonies than in
the value of bees. Less than four farms out of every
hundred report bees. In 1900 the average value of
bees per farm reporting was $19.15, as compared with
$23.55 in 1910.

domestic animals not on farms are found in cities,
towns, and villages. Statistics for such animals are
shown in the table following. No provision was made
by law to secure data pertaining to poultry and bees
not on farms. In the table age groups are omitted
for the sake of brevity, but it may be noted that in
cities and villages a comparatively small proportion
of the animals of each class are in the younger age
groups:

both in number and in value; cattle, consisting mainly
of dairy cows, rank next in importance.

The total value of all domestic animals in the state
in 1910 was $13,822,000, of which the value of animals
not on farms represented 18.7 per cent. The number

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.
The returns for live stock products obtained at the
census of 1910, like those for crops, relate to the production 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 further on, the net 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.
-The next table
Dairy products: 1909 and 1899.
shows the principal statistics relative to dairy products in 1909, with certain comparative statistics for
1899.
The number of farms reporting dairy cows on April
15, 1910, was 20,168, but only 18,060 reported dairy
products in 1909. That there should be this difference
is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers 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 which made any report of milk produced during
_
1909 was 15,638 (somewhat less than the total number reporting dairy products), and the number of
74843°--13----39

dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was 79,841.
The amount of milk reported was 35,033,000 gallons;
assuming that there were the same number of cows in
1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 439
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:

The total number of sheep of shearing age in New
Hampshire on April 15, 1910, was 31,201, representing
a decrease of 52.2 per cent as compared with the
number on June 1, 1900 (65,318). The approximate
production of wool during 1909 was 33,000 fleeces,
weighing 210,000 pounds, and valued at $57,000. Of
1 Farmers should be able in general to report the production of
wool more accurately than that of dairy products. There were, however, 661 farmers who reported the possession of 5,714 sheep of
shearing age on April 15, 1910, without reporting any wool produced
in 1909. Probably in a large proportion of cases this failure was due
to the fact that they did not have these sheep, or did not occupy the
same farm, during the preceding year. The returns of farms reporting wool in 1909 but no sheep of shearing age on April 15, 1910,
would partially make up this deficiency, but it is believed that in
many cases enumerators, having found that a farm had no sheep in
1910, omitted the inquiry as to wool produced in 1909 and thus
missed more or less wool actually produced. It is a fairly safe
assumption that the entire production of wool in 1909 bore the same
relation to the entire number of sheep of shearing age on April 15,
1910, as the production of wool on those farms reporting both production and sheep bor9 to the number of sheep reported on such
farms. Statistics for this group of farms are given in the table, and
the total wool product, estimated on the basis of the above assumption, is also given.

The total number of fowls on New Hampshire farms
on April 15, 1910, was 925,000. Of the 20,966 farms
reporting fowls, 2,423 did not report any eggs produced in 1909, and 3,765 did not report any poultry
raised in 1909. The production of eggs actually reported for the year 1909 was 6,937,000 dozens, valued
at $1,890,000. According to the Twelfth Census reports the production of eggs in 1899 was 7,005,000
dozens, the value being $1,214,000. The latter figures, however, are somewhat in excess of the actual
returns at that census, because they include estimates
made to cover those cases where the schedules reported fowls on hand without reporting the production
of eggs. In order to make the returns for 1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar estimates
have been made, the method of estimate and the
justification therefor being substantially the same as in
the case of wool. The total production of eggs in 1909,
including these estimates, was 7,499,000 dozens,

Summary: 1909 and 1899.
-The next table summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing one
Year with the other it should be borne in mind that
acreage is on the whole a better index of the general
changes or tepdencies of agriculture than either the
quantity or the value of the crops, since variations in
quantity may be due largely to temporarily favorable
or unfavorable climatic conditions,
and variations in
the value of the crops are largely affected by changes
in Prices. (See also discussion of "Total value of farm
products.")
The total value of crops in 1909 was $15,976,000.
of this amount, 71.6 per cent was contributed by
crops for which the acreage as well as the value was
reported, the remainder consisting of the value of by-

products (straw, garden and grass seeds, etc.) derived
from the same land as other crops reported, or of
orchard fruits, nuts, forest products, and the like.
The combined acreage of crops for which acreage was
reported was 593,093, representing 63.8 per cent of
the total improved land in farms (929,185 acres).
Most of the remaining improved land doubtless consisted of improved pasture, land lying fallow, house
and farm yards, and land occupied by orchards and
vineyards, the acreage for which was not reported.
The general character of New Hampshire agriculture is indicated by the fact that only 5.5 per cent of
the total value of crops in 1909 was contributed by the
cereals, while nearly one-half (49.1 per cent) was contributed by hay and forage, and over one-fifth (22.6
per cent) by forest products. The remainder, representing in value 22.8 per cent of the total, consisted
mostly of potatoes,other vegetables,and fruitsand nuts.

The total value of crops in 1909 was 30.2 per
cent greater than that in 1899. This increase was
clearly due to higher prices, as the quantity of the
most important products decreased. There was

sents statistics for 1909 regarding cereals, other grains
and seeds, hay and forage, potatoes, and sundry
minor crops.
The leading crops covered by the table, in the order
of their importance as judged by value, are hay and
forage,$7,846,000; potatoes,$1,205,000; corn,$621,000;
and oats, $217,000. It should be noted, however, that
some of the crops reported in the later tables are
more important than corn or oats.
Hay and forage is far in the lead in respect to the
number of farms reporting, acreage harvested, and
value of the crop. The acreage harvested is over sixteen times as great as the combined acreage of all
cereals, while the value of the crop is almost nine
times as great. Of the total acreage reported for hay
and forage, that of "timothy and clover mixed" represents a little less than two-fifths, "other tame or
cultivated grasses" and "timothy alone" being next in
importance. Of the cereal crops, the most important
are corn and oats. The reported production of corn is
exaggerated to a slight extent, because some enumerators reported baskets of ear corn as bushels of corn.
On this account the figures here given may be revised in
later census reports. The acreage planted in dry edible beans is greater than that of any of the cereal crops
other than oats and corn, while the value of the crop is
more than 50 per cent greater than that of wheat, barley, buckwheat, and rye combined. The acreage of po-

It is apparent that the farmers of New Hampshire
have been rapidly abandoning the raising of grain.
The acreage of corn decreased nearly one-half during
the 30 years covered by the table and that of oats
almost two-thirds, while wheat all but disappeared as
a crop. The acreage of barley decreased during the
same time slightly more than three-fourths and that
of buckwheat nearly four-fifths.
In the acreage of hay and forage there has been a
continuous decrease, exceeding 21 per cent for the 30
years. During the past decade this decrease was more
rapid than before, being in fact greater than that for
the 20 years from 1879 to 1899.

1 Does not include 596 farms which reported that they had vegetable gardens,
but gave no information as to their products.
2 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes and other vegetables was 26,225 and their value $2,276,000. Excluding (so far as reported separately') potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables
was 8,855, and their value $1,072,000, both acreage
and value being decidedly greater than in 1899. The
table distinguishes between farms which make the
raising of vegetables a business of some importance
(having produced vegetables valued at $500 or more
in 1909) and other farms, on most of which vegetables
are raised mainly for home consumption. There were
in 1909 only 149 farms in the first class, representing
over one-tenth of the total acreage of vegetables and
over one-seventh of the total value of products, the
average acreage of vegetables per farm for these farms
being 6.1 and the average value per acre $175.27.
The raising of flowers and plants and of nursery
products is not important in New Hampshire,only 117
acres being devoted to these branches of agriculture.
-The next table shows

data with regard to small fruits on farms.
Strawberries are by far the most important of the
small fruits grown in New Hampshire, with raspberries and loganberries ranking next. The total
acreage of small fruits in 1909 was 618, and in 1899,
730, a decrease of 15.3 per cent. The production in
1909 was 998,000 quarts, as compared with 1,261,000
quarts in 1899, and the value $107,000, as compared
with $117,000.
It is probable that some of the potatoes and sweet potatoes
and yams raised in farm gardens were not reported separately by
farmers, but were included in their returns for vegetables.

The total quantity of orchard fruits produced in
1909 was 1,165,000 bushels, valued at $720,000. Apples constituted over 95 per cent of this quantity,
peaches and nectarines and pears most of the remainder. The production of grapes and nuts was relatively unimportant. The nuts consisted chiefly of
butternuts.
The production of all orchard fruits together in 1909
was 42.3 per cent less in quantity than that in 1899,
and there was also a decrease in grapes. The value
of orchard fruits increased from $708,000 in 1899 to
$720,000 in 1909, while that of grapes declined from
$14,462 in 1899 to $10,926 in 1909. It should be

Forest products: 1909 and 1899.
-The census schedules for 1910 called for the "value of all firewood,
fencing material, logs, railroad ties, telegraph and
telephone poles, materials for barrels, bark, naval
stores, or other forest products cut or produced in
1909, whether used on farm, sold, or on hand April 15,
1910," and also, in a separate item, for the "amount
received from sale of standing timber in 1909."
There were 16,938 farms in New Hampshire (62.6 per
cent of all farms in the state) which reported forest
products in 1909, the total value of such products
being $3,610,178, as compared with $2,296,265 in 1899,
.an increase of 57.2 per cent. Of the value in 1909,
$932,432 was reported as that of products used or to
be used on the farms themselves, $1,469,219 as that of
products sold or for sale, and $1,208,527 as the amount
received for standing timber. It should be noted that
forest products not produced on farms are not included in this report.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
Miscellaneous crops: 1909.—Straw and cornstalks
derived as by-products from the production of grain
and corn have a considerable value for feed and other
purposes. They are, however, mainly consumed on
the farms producing them. The Census Bureau made
no attempt to ascertain the total quantity or value

603

of these products, but the schedules called for the quantity and value of those sold during the year 1909. The
returns show that 118 farmers in New Hampshire sold,
during 1909,374 tons of straw,for which they received

SELECTED FARM EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS.
Farm expenses: 1909 and 1899.—The following table

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 sales as well as
the production of the more important feedable crops
(that is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock). The
following table summarizes the data reported:

One-fifth of the amount expended for labor is in the
form of rent and board. During the decade the total
expenditure for labor increased 46.4 per cent. Nearly
two-thirds of the farmers hire labor, and the average
amount expended by those hiring is $194. No tabulation was made at prior censuses of the number of
farms reporting expenditure for labor.
Four farmers out of every five report some expenditure for feed in 1909, while about three out of five
report the purchase of fertilizer. There is a marked

Whereas about 22,000 farmers purchased feed
during the year 1909, only about 3,000 sold any
kind of feed. The total amount expended for feed
by those who reported purchases was more than ten
times as great as the receipts from sales by those reporting sales.

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of New Hampshire for
the calendar year 1909, 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership, size of establishments, number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of 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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries (1) for the state as a
Whole and (2)for the city of Manchester. It also gives
the same items for all industries combined for every
city having in 1910 a population of over 10,000 but
less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for Manchester for all industries combined and selected industries, and for each city having from 10,000 to 50,000
inhabitants for all industries combined.
Scope of census: Factory 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
i? 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 purposes, 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 purporting to show
average wages, cost of production, or profits. These limitations
Will be fully discussed in the general report on manufacturcs for the
United States as a whole.
The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory system, as distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced to a
comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions, it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering chanps in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added Ly manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4),clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups:(1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and

Introduction, best represents the net wealth created
by manufacturing operations during the year.
In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of New Hampshire showed
a decrease during the five-year period 1899-1904 in
the number of establishments and average number of
wage earners, but an increase in the amount paid in
wages, the value of products, and every other item.
On the other hand, for the more recent period, 1904-

614

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE.

1909, a very considerable increase is shown in every
item. During the 10-year period 1899-1909 there was
a net increase of 10.7 per cent in the number of establishments and 16.3 per cent in the average number of
wage earners, while the value of products increased
53 per cent and the value added by manufacture 40.1
per cent. As pointed out in the Introduction, it
would be improper to infer that manufacturesincreased
in volume to the full extent indicated by these figures
regarding values, since the increase shown is certainly

due, in part, to the increase that has taken place in
the price of commodities.
It is a matter of interest to note that the percentages of increase shown for wages, value of products,
and value added by manufacture are much larger
than those for the number of establishments and
average number of wage earners.
The relative importance and growth of the leading
manufacturing industries of the state are shown in

1 percentages are based on figures in Table I; a minus sign (-)denotes decrease. Where the percentages are
omitted, comparable figures can not be given.

2 Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

It should be borne in mind, in considering this table,
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication due to the
use of the product of ono establishment in the industry as material for another establishment.
The most important industries listed in this table,
in which they are arranged in the order of the value
of products, call for brief consideration.
Boots and shoes, including cut stock and findings.
The statistics for this industry indicate not only that
it has recovered from its temporary depression in 1904
and again assumed first rank in value of products
among the industries of the state, but that it has
experienced an exceptionally large growth.
Textiles.
-The combined value of the textile manufactures of the state, including cotton goods, woolen
and worsted goods, and hosiery and knit goods,
amounted to $55,097,000, or 33.5 per cent of the total


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

value of the manufactures of the state. There was one
establishment reported for the silk industry, engaged in
throwing raw silk into organzine and tram, but the
statistics are omitted since they can not be shown
without disclosing the operations of individual establishments. The manufacture of cotton goods was by
far the most important branch of the textile industries,
and was second in importance among the individual
industries of the state.
Comparative figures for the period 1899-1904 are
not available for the woolen and worsted goods industry, as the figures for two large mills that were
classified as worsted mills in 1899 can not be included
without disclosing individual operations. This industry shows an increase in the value of products for
the period 1904-1909, notwithstanding the fact that
fewer establishments were reported in 1909 than in
1904. This increase is due not only to the greater

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
production, but also to the general rise of prices and
the better grade of goods turned out.
The manufacture of hosiery and knit goods also
forms an important branch of the textile industry of
New Hampshire. As was the case with cotton manufactures, this industry shows a lower rate of increase
in value of products during the period 1904-1909 than
during the period 1899-1904.
Lumber and timber products.—This industry, which
is among the oldest manufacturing industries of the
state, continues to be an important one and shows a
marked growth from 1904 to 1909. It not only embraces establishments engaged in logging, but also sawmills and planing mills and establishments engaged in
the manufacture of wooden packing boxes. The principal species of native wood used are spruce and white
Pine. In the production of spruce the state ranks
second only to Maine among the states of the Union.
While the original forests of white pine in New Hampshire are practically exhausted and the mills are now
using the second growth, the state ranked fifth among
the 28 states producing this wood in 1909.
Paper and wood pulp.—The establishments which
Produce pulp as a final product, as well as those which
manufacture paper or -pulp and paper, are included
under this classification. This industry has grown
steadily in the state with the more extensive use of
wood pulp and wood fiber as materials in the manufacture of paper, the total value of products in 1909
being $13,994,000, as compared with $1,282,000 in
1889. The abundance of spruce, a variety of wood
especially suitable for wood pulp, and the large amount
of water power available in the state have contributed
to this rapid development.
Measured by value added by manufacture, the
rank of the leading industries is somewhat changed.
Cotton goods becomes first in rank instead of boots and
shoes, and lumber and timber products displaces woolen
and worsted goods from the third place.
This table also shows the percentages of increase in
value added by manufacture as well as in value of
products for these leading industries where these statistics are comparable. The electrical machinery,
apparatus, and supplies industry showed a greater rate
of increase from 1904 to 1909 in value added by manufacture than any other of the specified industries,
namely, 275.8 per cent. The slaughtering and meatpacking, tobacco manufactures, men's clothing, and
.1 boot and shoe industries also showed remarkable
t 1e
increases both in gross value of products and in value
added by manufacture.
There are some striking differences among the several
Specified industries in the rates of increase in value of
Products shown for the two periods 1899-1904 and
1904-.1909, respectively. Only one of the industries
owing decreases from 1899 to 1904 showed a decrease
also from 1904 to 1909, while of the eight industries
Showing decreases
from 1899 to 1904 five showed


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

615

marked increases during the later period. Six industries showing increases during the earlier intercensal
period show decreases from 1904 to 1909.
In addition to the industries presented separately in
the preceding table there are 20 important industries
each of which had a value of products in 1909 in excess
of $160,000. They are included under the head of
"All other industries "in some cases, because, if they
were shown separately, the operations of individual
establishments would be disclosed; in others,the returns
do not properly present the true condition of the industry, as it is more or less interwoven with one or more
other industries of similar character; and for others,
comparable statistics for the different census years can
not be presented either because the data for prior censuses are not available or on account of changes in
classification. These industries represent the manufacture of leather belting and hose; of buttons; the repair
shops of steam railroads; the construction of steamrailroad cars,other than by railroad companies; the dyeing and finishing of textiles; the manufacture of fancy
articles, not elsewhere specified, and of leather gloves
and mittens; the rendering of grease and tallow; the
manufacture of hones and whetstones; the tanning,
currying, and finishing of leather; the construction of
locomotives, other than by railroad companies; the
manufacture of mineral and soda waters; of musical
instruments; paper goods, not elsewhere specified; the
silverware and plated-ware industry; the manufacture
of sporting and athletic goods; the steam-packing
industry; the manufacture of stoves and furnaces; of
upholstering materials; and the turning and carving of
wood.
Persons engaged in manufacturing industries.—The
following table shows for 1909 the distribution of the
number of persons engaged in manufactures, the average number of wage earners being distributed by sex
and age. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the sex and age classification of the average number of

Of the total number of persons engaged in all manufacturing industries, 3.9 per cent were proprietors and
officials, 2.7 per cent clerks, and 93.4 per cent wage
earners. In the flour-mill and gristmill industry the
proportion of persons falling in the class of proprietors
and officials is high owing to the fact that a majority
of the establishments are small and the work is done
largely by the proprietors or their immediate representatives. Similar conditions prevail to a lesser extent in
the bakery and in the printing and publishing industries.
The following table shows,for 1909,in percentages,for
all industries combined, the distribution of the average
number of wage earners, by age periods and sex, calculated in the manner described in the introduction. It
also shows, for some of the important industries separately, the percentage distribution by age periods and
sex, of the wage earners as reported for December 15,
or the nearest representative day. As a means of
judging the importance of the several industries the
average total number employed for the year is also
given in each case.
For all industries combined, 68.1 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of ago and over; 30.4 per cent females 16 years of
age and over; and 1.5 per cent persons under the
age of 16. The larger part of the total number of
female wage earners is made up of those employed in
the textile and boot and shoe industries. In the
cotton-goods industry nearly half of the employees are

women over 16 years of age; in the hosiery and knitgoods industry, two-thirds; and in the woolen and
worsted industry, over two-fifths. In the boot and
shoe industry nearly one-third of the employees are
women over 16 years of age.
The textile and boot and shoe industries combined
also include the larger part of the total number of wage
earners under 16 years of age. There are, however,
three other industries listed in the table in which
the proportion of persons under 16 years to the total
number employed is larger than in any branch of
textile or of the boot and shoe industries, namely,
bakeries with 4 per cent, and the cooperage and furniture industries with 2.8 per cent each.

'For method ofestimating the distribution, by sox and
age periods,of the average
number in all industries combined,see Introduction.

In order to compare the distribution of the persons
engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at
the census of 1904 it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison
according to occupational status:

The lumber industry, which is a seasonal industry
giving employnient to a much larger number of persons from December to March than during the other
months of the year, influences considerably the total
for all industries combined. The number of wage
earners employed in the industry varied during the
different months from 10,651 in February to 6,164 in
August, Employment for those engaged in the mills
is, however, much steadier than for those engaged in
logging operations, or the total would be affected to a
Much greater extent. In the logging operations only
23.7 per cent of the greatest number of wage earners
employed during any one month were employed in
July, while the number employed in the mills in the
same month represented 82.2 per cent of the maximum
for this branch
of the industry. The totals for all
Other industries are a fair index of the conditions of
,employment in the manufactures of the state, January
being, the month of least activity, and October and
November those of greatest activity. In the two most
_iMportant industries of the state, the textile and the
boot and shoe
industries, employment is fairly steady
throughout the year.

earners have been classified according to the hours of
labor prevailing in the establishments in which they
are employed. In making this classification the average number of wage earners employed during the year
is used, and the number employed in each establishment is classified as a total, according to the hours
prevailing in that establishment, even though some
few employees work a greater or less number of hours.
In the case of the lumber industry, in particular, this
average is considerably less than the number employed
in the busy season.
It is evident from the figures that for the great
majority of the wage earners employed in the manufacturing industries of New Hampshire the prevailing hours of labor range from 54 to 60 per week,
or from 9 to 10 a day, only 7 per cent of the total
being employed in establishments operating less than
9 hours a day, and only 1.5 per cent being employed in
establishments operating more than 10 hours a day.
Of those employed in establishments where from 54 to 60
hours per week prevail, 48.5 per cent were in establishments engaged in the manufacture of textiles. Prac-

tically all of the establishments in these industries
operated between 54 and 60 hours a week. There
is a provision in the labor laws of the state limiting
the hours of labor for women and children to 58
per week.
It will be noted that the prevailing hours are shortest
in the establishments engaged in marble and stone
work, the majority of the wage earners in such estab-

lishments working 48 hours or less a week. In the
paper and wood-pulp industry there is a wide variation in the number of hours of labor. While 37.6 per
cent of the wage earners worked 48 hours or less a week,
15.4 per cent worked more than 60 hours per week. Of
the total number of wage earners employed in establishments where the prevailing hours were more than
60 a week, over two-fifths are found in this industry.

While it may be noted that by far the greater number of the manufacturing establishments of the state
are outside of the cities of over 10,000 inhabitants, the
average size of the establishments located in cities
having a population of 10,000 and over was larger.
Furthermore, 56.5 per cent of the total value of products was reported from these cities in 1909 and the
same proportion of the average number of wage earners
were employed there.
The figures indicate that considerable change took
place in the relative importance of the two groups during the period from 1899 to 1909, as there was a marked
increase in 1909 in the proportion for cities having a
population of 10,000 inhabitants and over and a corresponding decrease in the proportion for the districts
outside. This is due in part to the fact that three
cities--Berlin, Keene, and Laconia-which had less
than 10,000 inhabitants in 1900 passed into the class
of cities of 10,000 and over in 1910.
The relative importance of each of the eight cities
having a population of 10,000 or over in 1910 is shown
in the table following, in which the value of products
and average number of wage earners are shown sepsrtitely for 1909, 1904, and 1899.

-The tendency for manufacSize of establishment.
turing 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 table that follows groups the
establishments according to the value of their products. The table also shows the average size of establishments for all industries combined and for important
industries separately as measured by number of wage
earners, value of products, and value added by manufacture. The totals for all industries are shown for the
last two censuses, while for certain important industries figures are given for 1909 only.
This table shows that, in 1909, of the 1,961 manufacturing establishments in the state, only 34, or 1.7
per cent, had a value of products exceeding $1,000,000.
These establishments, however, employed an average


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

of 37,525 wage earners, or 47.7 per cent of the total
number in all establishments, and reported 49.1 per
cent of the total value of products and 41.8 per cent
of the total value added by manufacture.
On the other hand, the very small establishments
that is, those having a value of products of less than
$5,000-constituted a considerable proportion (33.8
per cent) of the total number of establishments, but
the value of their products amounted to only 1 per
cent of the total. The great bulk of the manufacturing was reported by establishments having products
valued at not less than $100,000 in value.
During tin; five years from 1904 to 1909 there was
a marked increase in the relative importance of the
largest establishments as measured by average number of wage earners, value of products, and value added
by manufacture.

The fact that the average value of products per
establishment as shown in the table increased from
$76,397 to $83,027, and the value added by manufacture from $31,146 to $33,873, can scarcely be taken
as in itself indicating a tendency toward concentration. Tile increased values shown may be, and
Probably are, due in part to the increase that
has taken place in the prices of commodities.
The average number of wage earners per establishment did not increase. The table indicates further
that when the size of establishments is measured by

tion for all industries combined and for 15 important
industries individually, and gives not only the number
of establishments falling in each group but also the
average number of wage earners employed.
The per cent distribution of the number ofestablishments is not shown in this table; of the 1,961 establishments reported for all industries, 8.1 per cent employed no wage earners; 49.7 per cent, 1 to 5; 22.2 per
cent, 6 to 20; 8.6 per cent, 21 to 50; and 11.5 per cent
51 and over. The most numerous single group consists of the 974 establishments employing from 1 to 5
wage earners, and the next of the 435 establishments
employing from 6 to 20 wage earners. There were 61
establishments that employed over 250 wage earners,
and 8 that employed over 1,000.

Of the total number of wage earners, 76.4 per cent
were in establishments employing over 100 wage earners each. The single group having the largest number
of employees was the group comprising the establishments employing over 1,000 wage earners. This
group employed 23,914 wage earners, or 30.4 per cent
of the total. In the manufacture of boots and shoes,
cotton goods, hosiery and knit goods, and woolen and
worsted goods, as appears from the classification according to the number of wage earners, comparatively
large establishments do the major part of the business. The most of the wage earners, however, in the
bakery, flour-mill and gristmill, lumber, and printing
and publishing industries are employed by smaller
establishments.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE.
SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects,
by means of special schedules, details regarding the
quantity and value of materials and products and
the number and classes of machines used in manufactures which do not appear on the general schedule.
Certain data of this character for five important industries in New Hampshire are here presented.
Boots and shoes, including cut stock and findings.—
This industry started in the southern part of New
Hampshire early in the century. At first it was carried on largely in the homes of farmers or in small
shops and consisted of piecework performed on stock
cut in the factories located at Lynn and. Haverhill,
Mass., and put out in the adjoining towns of that state
and of New Hampshire. With the application of
machinery soon after the Civil War, the manufacture
of boots and shoes as a factory industry developed
rapidly in the state, and in 1899 New Hampshire held
third place in this industry in the United States, in
1904 fifth place, and in 1909 fourth place.
From 1904 to 1909 the production of men's boots
and shoes increased 3,863,851 pairs, or 49.3 per cent;
that of boys' and youths' boots and shoes, 562,344
pairs, or 15.6 per cent; and that of misses' and chil-

dren's boots and shoes, 24,828 pairs, or five-tenths
of 1 per cent. On the other hand, decreases are
shown for women's boots and shoes of 171,570
pairs, or 3.6 per cent, and for women's, misses',
and children's slippers of 744,164 pairs, or 72.5 per
cent. The manufacture of men's, boys', and youths'
slippers was discontinued during the five-year period
1904-1909.
The following table shows the number of pairs of the
various kinds of footwear produced in this industry
in 1909, 1904, and 1899:

Cotton goods.—Since the establishment of the
first cotton mill of importance in New Hampshire
in 1804, there has been a steady development of
this industry, due largely to the abundant water
power of the state.
The quantity and cost of the principal materials
used in the manufacture of cotton goods, the quantity
and value of the principal products, and the number of
producing spindles and looms reported in 1909, 1904,
and 1899 are given in the next table.
The quantity of domestic cotton used as material
increased from 134,425,428 pounds in 1904 to
136,801,463 pounds in 1909, an increase of 2,376,035
pounds, or 1.8 per cent. The quantity of foreign
cotton used is relatively insignificant, although it
increased nearly fourfold in the five-year period, that
is, from 384,150 pounds in 1904 to 1,731,164 pounds
in 1909, an increase of 1,347,014 pounds. Although
there was an increase in the total amount of cotton
used, there was a decrease in the average price

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

paid per pound, the total cost of cotton consumed
in 1909 being $704,861 less than in 1904.
The manufacture of plain cloths for printing and
converting, and of ticks, denims,and stripes has fallen
off considerably since 1904, as was also the case between
1899 and 1904. Brown or bleached sheetings and
shirtings and cotton towels and toweling increased
slightly both in quantity and value, while twills and
sateens show a considerable increase in both respects.
Of the classes of goods shown separately in the table,
napped fabrics were the most important at each of
the three censuses as measured by value of product,
their value representing 19.5 per cent of the total
value of cotton goods manufactured in 1969. While
the output of these fabrics was much greater than in
1899, there has been a slight decrease both in their
quantity and value since 1904. By far the most
important class of goods manufactured in the state,

The partly manufactured articles represent a certain
amount of duplication, because, although they are
the products of one set of mills, they become the
materials of other establishments.

ranks eighth among the states in the manufacture

manufacture of wood pulp almost to the exclusion of
every other kind of wood, except balsam fir. In 1909
a total of 349,997 cords of wood were used, of which
domestic spruce formed 53.8 per cent,imported spruce
30.5 per cent, and balsam fir 14.6 per cent. The quantity and cost of the principal materials used in the

There was an increase in the output of white flour of
4,646 barrels, or 6.2 per cent, from 1904 to 1909, while
the value increased $48,399; or 10.7 per cent. Corn
meal and corn flour was the product of chief value at
each of the three censuses. From 1904 to 1909 the
quantity decreased 162,572 barrels, or 24.1 per cent,
and the value $105,210, or 6.6 per cent; but for the
decade 1899-1909, although the output decreased
216,597 barrels, or 29.7 per cent, the value increased
$77,020, or 5.5 per cent. The most notable increase
shown in the table is that for feed, which from 1899
to 1909 increased in quantity 10,987 tons, or 41.5 per
cent, while the value increased $596,508, or 123.1 per
cent. The excess of increase in value of feed as compared with the quantity reflects the increase in the cost
of corn, which constituted the chief material for this
product.

CHAPTER 5.
MINES AND QUARRIES.
present chapter contains a complete statement of the statistics of all mining industries, which include all mines and quarries, in the state
of New Hampshire for the year 1909, as shown by the
Thirteenth Census,
A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
mining industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
The explanations here given show the usage of the
mining census generally, though some of the special
rules have obviously no relation to particular states
in which the industries referred to do not exist.
Introduction.—The

mines and quarries, such
report was received for each industry.
Number of mines,, quarries, and wells.—This figure represents
the total number of mines and quarries in operation or in the course
of development at any time during the calendar year 1909, or the
business year that corresponds most nearly to that calendar year,
and the number of completed petroleum and natural gas wells in
operation on December 31, 1909.
In most mining and quarrying industries the number of mines
or quarries'varies but little from the number of operators.
_ Expenses of operation and development.—A certain amount of
development work is incidental to the operation of every mine.
The expenses reported for producing mines include the cost both
of operation and of development work which was done in connection
.
With operation.

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the'cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however, could be furnished only in those
cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and materials
used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the beginning and
at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from
general among mine operators, and there is reason to believe that in
many cases the reported cost of supplies and materials covered all
purchased during the year rather than those used during the year.
The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for
further dressing or refining; the cost of such materials is shown
separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state
the total amount of capital invested in the enterprise on the last day
of the business year reported, as shown by his books. There is,
however, a great diversity in the methods of bookkeeping in use by
different operators. As a result, the statistics for capital lack uniformity. Some of the figures reported apparently represent capital
stock at face value; others include large investments in mineral
lands which are not at present being actively mined, but are held in
reserve; still others may include expenditures for unproductive
mining ventures in no way related to the operations carried on
during the census year.
Persons engaged in mining industries.—The statistics of the number of operators and officials, clerks, and wage earners are based
on the returns for December 15, or the nearest representative day.
The reported number of wage earners includes overseers and foremen performing work similar to that of the men over whom they
have charge; those whose duties are wholly supervisory are classed
as superintendents and managers. Because of the common practice
of shutting down mines at frequent intervals, it is impossible to
ascertain with any satisfactory degree of accuracy the average number of employees—that is, the number who, if continuously employed, would be required to produce the actual output of the year.
Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
were obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey, but the two bureaus follow different methods in presenting these statistics. The Geological Survey shows separately the value of each mineral product, whereas
the bureau of the Census presents the value of products of each
mining industry. The value of products given for a mining industry often includes the value of some products not covered by the industry designation. The crude product of metalliferous mines may
include varying combinations of metals, such as gold, silver, copper,
lead, zinc, and iron. Similarly, the total value of all products of
the granite quarries is not identical with the value of the total output of granite, but may include the value of some marble or other
stone quarried in connection with the principal product.
The value of products for 1909 in most cases represents the value
of the products marketed during that year, not the value of those
mined during that year.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE.
MINING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Summary.
-Statistics for all producing mining enterprises in the state of New Hampshire are presented
at the close of this chapter in Table 7, which gives
statistics for all industries combined and for granite
quarries separately. One nonproducing enterprise
reported in the fluorspar industry is not presented in
the statistics, as to do so would disclose the operations of an individual enterprise.
The total value of the products of all mines and
quarries in. New Hampshire in 1909 amounted to
$1,308,597. Of this amount granite quarrying, the
principal industry, reported products valued at
$1,205,811, which represented 92.1 per cent of the
total. The other industries represented, in each of
which there was less than three operators, were clay,
copper, mica, and scythestones. In the combined
totals for these industries the expenses of operation
and development exceeded the value of the products.
This was due in part to unprofitable mining ventures
and in part to expenditures for development work
resulting in permanent improvements to the mining
properties.
Character of organization.
-Tables 1 and 2 classify
the producing mining operations of the state under
form of organization, distinguishing corporations from
other forms.
Table 1

INDUSTRY AND
CHARACTER OF
ORGANIZATION.

Out of a total of 45 operators, 16 were corporations. These corporations reported 57.6 per cent of
the total value of products and employed 56.7 per cent
of all wage earners. In the granite quarrying industry
the corresponding percentages were 54.1 and 50.5.
Size of enterprises.
-In Table 3 the producing
mining enterprises of the state are classified according
to the number of wage earners employed per enterprise or operating unit. Of the 1,520 wage earners
employed in all enterprises, 899, or 59.2 per cent, were
employed in the 8 enterprises employing over 50
wage earners each.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of
New Jersey, by counties and minor civil divisions,
as enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of population where possible, and a statement and discussion
for the state as a whole of the population hying in
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
in detail in two general tables.
Table 1 (p. 574) shows the population of New Jersey, distributed according to counties and minor civil
divisions, at the last three censuses, namely, those of
1910, 1900, and 1890. The arrangement of counties
and of the primary divisions in each county is alphabetical. The figures for the one secondary division
are printed in italics. The changes in boundaries,
name, or form of organization that- have taken place
since 1900 are indicated in the footnotes to the table.
For changes between 1890 and 1900 reference must be
made to the census report of 1900.
It may be noticed that the county totals as giv6n in
Table 1 for 1900 and 1890 sometimes exceed the aggregate population of the minor civil divisions as shown
in.the table. This is due to the fact that some of the
minor civil divisions of 1890 and 1900 had gone out of
existence by 1910, or had undergone such changes in
territory that it was impossible to present strictly
comparable figures.
Table 2 (p. 579) shows the cities, the incorporated

Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area. In calculating the density of rural
population, the same divisor is used as it is not practicable to ascertain and deduct the exact area covered by the urban districts, and
even if this could be done with accuracy the deduction of this
area from the total land area would ordinarily make no appreciable
difference in the resulting quotient.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election precincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank next
to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In
many instances, however,these primary divisions contain political
units of still smaller area, such as cities, incorporated villages,
towns, or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to as
secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defIned.—The Census Bureau, for
purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or
more, and rural population as that residing outside of such incorporated places.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations
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

HISTORICAL NOTE.—New Jersey takes its name from the island of Jersey, in the
English Channel,and was so named in honor of Sir George Carteret, one of the
early
Proprietors of the province, who had distinguished himself as governor of thatisland.
The region now constituting New Jersey was included the grant
in
conveyed by
the first charter of
Virginia (1606); and its northern portion was embraced in the
grant to the Plymouth Company
in 1620.
The English title was based on the discoveries
of John Cabot, who had visited the
coasts of Newfoundland and
the mainland in 1497. In 1609 Henry Hudson,sailing
under the Dutch flag,
coasted the shores of what is now New Jersey. The Dutch
claimed the region as a part of New Netherland
(now New York), and in about the
Year 1620 made
settlements along the west shore of the lower Hudson; in 1623
they built Fort Nassau,
near Gloucester. Swedes also settled on the Delaware
River, but were brought
under the jurisdiction of the Dutch by the governor
of New Netherland.
In 1664 New Netherland,
including the present area of New Jersey, passed into the
hands of the English and
was granted by Charles II to the Duke of York. Before
the latter took
possession he conveyed to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret
the territory lying
between the Hudson and the Delaware and limited on the north
by a line differing
somewhat, but not greatly, from the present boundary between
New Jersey and New
York.
The first permanent English
settlement was probably that made at Elizabethtown about 1664. Not
long after taking possession of the province, Berkeley and
Carteret established a government
which included a popular assembly.

In 1673 New York (formerly New Netherland)and NewJersey were surrendered
to the Dutch, in whose possAssion they remained until early in the following year,
when both provinces were again transferred to the English.
In 1673 Berkeley sold his interest in New Jersey to two Quakers, who in the
following year sold it to William Penn and others. In July,1676, was executed the
"Quintipartite deed," by which the province was divided by a line drawn from
Little Egg Harbor (about 15 miles north of Atlantic Cfty) to the most northerly
boundary point on the Delaware. Carteret retained the eastern part, known as
East New Jersey, while the Quakers took the western portion, called West New
Jersey. In 1682 East New Jersey was sold to William Penn(who in the preceding
year had obtained a royal grant of Pennsylvania) and other Quakers. In 1702 the
proprietors of both colonies ceded their right of government to the English Crown,
and East and West New Jersey were united and placed under the governor of New
York, New Jersey retaining its separate assembly. In 1/38 the colony was given a
separate governor.
The present boundary between New Jersey and New York was established in
1772 or 1773.
New Jersey was one of the original thirteen states.
According to estimates and censuses prior to the first Federal census, in 1790,
the population of the colony of New Jersey at different periods was said to be
as follows: 1702 (estimate), 15,000; 1726 (census), 32,442; 1737 (census), 47,369; 1745
(census), 61,383; 1749 (estimate), 60,009; 1754 (estimate), 78,500; 1774 (estimate),
120,000; 1784 (estimate), 149,434. •

rural at the preceding census, it is necessary to classify the territory according to the conditions as they existed at each census. In
this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants in 1900
and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population for 1900
and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as
regards their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider the changes
in population for the same territory which have occurred from one
decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory which in

1910 was urban or rural, as the case may be,is taken as the basis,and
the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing effect on comparisons which would arise from the passage, for example, of communities formerly classed as rural into the urban group. These two distinctforms of comparison are made in Table I of Chapter 2for the state
as a whole and for each county separately for the last two censuses.

Counties.
-New Jersey has 21 counties. The population of these counties ranges from 537,231
in Hudson
County to 19,745 in Cape May County.
There have been no changes in the territorial bound
aries of the counties since 1900.
Hudson County, which contains Jersey City, is the
largest county of the state in population and has
had
a very large and
constant growth.
The increase in population from 1900
to 1910 in
Essex County, 153,833, and the incre

County, 151,183, are each more than the entire
population of any other county
in the state except
Passaic. Naturally the counties showi
ng the largest
growth are those lying nearest
to New York City.
Bergen and Atlantic Counties, showi
ng increases
of 75.9 and 54.9
per cent, respectively, are the only
two counties which
increased more than 50 per cent
during the last decade.
In eight counties the percentage of increase exceeded
that for the state as a
whole, which, as before state
d, was 34.7 per cent.
Hunterdon is the only county which lost
in population during the last
decade, the decrease being
2.7 per cent.
This county also decreased 2.4 per cent
in population
from 1890 to 1900. Burlington County
showed a decrease of one-half
of 1 per cent from 1890

The maps on page 572 show the increase or decrease
in the total and rural population, respectively, of
each county of New Jersey during the last decade. In
the counties shown in white the population decreased;
for the other counties the different rates of increase
are indicated by differences in shading.
Density of population.
-The total land area of the
state is 7,514 square miles. The average number of
persons to the square mile in 1910 was 337.7; in 1900
and 1890 it was 250.7 and 192.3, respectively. •The
average number per square mile for the United States
as a whole in 1910 was 30.9.
In density of population New Jersey ranks third
among the states, being preceded only by Rhode Island
and Massachusetts.
The density of population is given by counties in
Table I of Chapter 2 and in the maps on page 573,
both for the entire population and for that living in
rural territory, excluding in the latter case the population of places of 2,500 inhabitants or more, but not
excluding the land area of such.places.
Hudson County has the highest density of any
county, namely, 12,493.7 persons per square mile,
and Ocean County the lowest, namely, 33.5. Burlington County, with 815 square miles, has the large
st
area, and Hudson County, with 43 square miles,
has
the smallest area.

"Minor civil divisions." In New Jersey the counties
are divided into 476 primary divisions, comprising 240
townships, 38 cities, 24 towns, 173 boroughs, and 1
village. These subdivisions, with one exception, Flemington village, in Hunterdon County, are all independent of one another. There are also 3 cities, 1 town,

A comparison of the figures for 1910,1900, and 1890,
as given in the above table, shows an increase in the
proportion of the population in each of the urban groups,
and a decrease.in the proportion in rural territory.
Table I of Chapter 2 shows 14 counties having a
larger proportion and 4 counties a smaller proportion
of urban population in 1910 than in 1900, while for 1
county the proportion is the same, and 2 counties are
wholly rural. In Essex County 94.8 per cent of the
population in 1910 live in places of over 2,500 inhabitants, and in Hudson County 95 per cent. Cape May
and Ocean Counties are wholly rural.
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 basis and
the aggregate population in 1910 and 1900 of the
same places is then compared. Thus, as shown in
the next table, the total population in 1910 of the
cities, villages, towns, and boroughs which at that
time had 2,500 inhabitants or more was 1,907,210;
in 1900 the total population of these same places (so
far as separately reported) was 1,363,653. It may be
noted that the latter figure exceeds tile total population in 1900 of the cities, villages, towns, and boroughs
which at that time had over 2,500 each, 1,329,162 (see
table on p. 570), by 34,491. The difference is the
result of the passage,since 1900,of certain communities
from the rural to the urban class.

STATISTICS OF POPULATION.
A comparison of the total population in 1910 of the
cities, villages, towns, and boroughs having a population of not less than 2,500 each with the total population of the same places in 1900, as given in the next
table, shows an increase of 39.9 per cent. This represents the rate of growth of urban communities as thus
defined. During the same period the rural population,
comprising that of the remainder of the state,increased
21.1 per cent. Urban population thus increased a
little less than twice as fast as rural. For the
United States as a whole urban population increased
34.9 per cent in the last decade and rural population
11.2 per cent.
- As shown by Table I of Chapter 2 there were two
countiesin New Jersey in which the population living
in rural territory decreased, but none in which there
was a decrease in urban population.
In the following table the population for the state
as a whole is distributed so as to show, for 1910 and
1900, the combined population of the cities having,in
1910, 100,000 inhabitants or more, the combined population of the cities, villages, towns, and boroughs

having,'in 1910,from 25,000 to 100,000 and from 2,500
to 25,000 inhabitants, respectively, and the population

From this table it appears that two of the three
urban groups increased in population more rapidly
than the state as a whole, the rate of increase for
places from 2,500 to 25,000 inhabitants being particularly large, while the rate of increase in rural territory
was but little more than half the rate for the state.
It also appears from this table that of the decennial
increase in population, namely, 653,498, a little more
than one-sixth was in rural territory and more than
one-half was in places of over 25,000 inhabitants.

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.—The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of New Jersey by counties and
minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the
density of population, and the proportions urban and
rural, the present chapter deals with the composition
and characteristics of the population. The two chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes.
Description of the tables.—The greater part of this
chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage,sex, citizenship,
illiteracy,school attendance,and dwellings and families,
as follows: Table I for the state and counties; Table II
for cities of more than 25,000 inhabitants; Table III
for places of 10,000 to 25,000; Table IV for places of
2,500 to 10,000; and Table V for wards of cities of
more than 50,000.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 16)
reproduces from the general tables the more important
state and city totals, and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital
condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the
statistics on each subject are shown according to race,
and for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign
born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage—that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign
parentage—having both parents born abroad; (3)
native, mixed parentage—having one parent native and
the other foreign born; (4) foreign born. As the
second and third classes do not differ 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. Urban population, as defined by the Bureau
of the Census, includes
that of all incorporated places
of 2,500 inhabitants
or more, the remainder being
classified as rural.

The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had
attended any kind of school at any time between
September 1, 1909, and the date of enumeration,
April 15, 1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person
10 years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).—Of the total population of New Jersey, 1,009,909, or 39.8 per cent, are
native whites of native parentage; 777,797, or 30.7
per cent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage; 658,188, or 25.9 per cent, are foreign-born whites;
and 89,760, or 3.5 per cent, are negroes. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 43.8, 29.5, 22.8,
and 3.7, respectively, the proportion of foreign-born
whites having increased during the decade. By
counties the proportion of foreign-born whites ranges
from 6.1 per cent in Salem County to 39.3 per cent in
Passaic, and the proportion of native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage from 8.1 per cent in Salem to 41.4
per cent in Hudson County. (See maps on page 605.)
Of the urban population, 33.6 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 58.7 per cent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of
foreign or mixed parentage are 34.1 and 20.1 per cent,
respectively. The percentage of foreign-born whites
is 28.8 in the urban population and 17.3 in the rural;
the percentage of negroes is 3.4 in the urban and 3.9
in the rural.
Sex (Tables 2 and 13).—In the total population of
the state there are 1,286,463 males and 1,250,704
females, or 102.9 males to 100 females. In 1900 the
sexes were nearly equal. Among native whites the ratio
of males to females is 98 to 100 and among foreignborn whites 118.2 to 100. In the urban population
there are 101 males to 100 females, and in the rural,
108.8.
State of birth (Tables 3 and 4).—Of the total native
population—that is, population born in the United
States-71.6 per cent were born in New Jersey and
28.4 per cent outside the state; of the native white
population, 26.9 per cent were born outside the state,
and of the native negro, 58.1 per cent. Persons born
outside the state constitute a larger proportion of the
native population in urban than,in rural communities.
Foreign nationalities (Tables 5 and 12).—Of the
foreign-born white population of New Jersey, persons
born in Germany represent 18.7 per cent; Italy, 17.5;

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

Russia, 14.2; Ireland, 12.6; Austria,8.6; England, 7.6;
Hungary, 7.2; Scotland, 2.7; Holland, 1.9; Sweden,
1.6; all other countries, 7.1 per cent. Of the total
white stock of foreign origin, which includes persons
born abroad and also natives having one or both
parents born abroad, Germany contributed 23.2 per
cent; Ireland, 18.1; Italy, 13.4; Russia, 10.2; England,
8.5; Austria, 6.1; Hungary, 4.8; Scotland, 2.7; Holland, 1.9; Canada, 1.4; Sweden, 1.3 per cent.
-The total numVoting and militia ages (Table 6).
ber of males 21 years of age and over is 774,702, representing 30.5 per cent of the population. Of such
males, 36.3 per cent are native whites of native
parentage, 19.9 per cent native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage, 40 per cent foreign-born whites, and
3.7 per cent negroes. Of the 309,648 foreign-born
white males of voting age, 128,438, or 41.5 per cent,
are naturalized. Males of militia age-18 to 44
number 597,513.
-Of the total population,
Age (Tables 7, 8, and 14).
10.5 per cent are under 5 years of age, 18.5 per cent
from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 19.2 per cent from 15 to
24, 32.1 per cent from 25 to 44, and 19.4 per cent 45
years of age and over. The foreign-born white population comprises comparatively few children, only 6.3
per cent of this class being under 15 years of age, while
more than three-fourths (75.6 per cent) are 25 years of
age and over. Of the native whites of foreign or
mixed parentage, 34.2 per cent are 25 and over, and of
the native whites of native parentage, 49 per cent.
The urban population shows a somewhat larger
proportion of persons in the prime of life than the
rural, and a smaller proportion in the advanced ages.
Migration to the city explains this at least in part. Of
the urban population, 32.9-per cent are from 25 to 44
years of age, inclusive, and of the rural population, 30
per cent.
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
persons of school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years,
inclusive-is 708,525, of whom 440,903, or 62.2 per
cent,attended school. In addition to these,21,433 children under 6 and .6,936 persons 21 and over attended
school. For boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the
percentage attending school was 62.9; for girls, 61.6.
For children from 6 to 14 years,inclusive, the percentage attending school was 88.6. The percentage for
children of this age among native whites of native
parentage was 89.6; among native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage, 88.7; among negroes, 85.7; and
among foreign-born whites, 83.8. (See Table I.)
There is little difference between urban and rural
communities as regards the percentage attending
school for children of that age; for persons from 15
to 20 the percentage is 22.4 in the urban population
and 27.9 in the rural.
Illiteracy (Table 10).-There are 113,502 illiterates
in the state, representing 5.6 per cent of the total
population 10 years of age and over, as compared with


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

5.9 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is
14.7 among foreign-born whites, 9.9 among negroes,
and 0.9 among native whites.
For all classes combined, the percentage of illiterates
is 5.8 in urban communities and 5 in rural. For each
class separately, however, the percentage of illiteracy
in the rural population exceeds that in the urban.
For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive,
whose literacy depends largely upon present school
facilities and school attendance, the percentage of
illiteracy is 2.4. (See Table I.)
Marital condition (Tables 11 and 15).
-In the population 15 years of age and over, 37.9 per cent of the
males are single and 31.6 per cent of the females. The
percentage married is 57,3 for both males and females,
and the percentage widowed 4.4 and 10.7, respectively.
The percentages of those reported as divorced, 0.2 for
both sexes, are believed to be too small, because of the
probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so much smaller for
women than for men is due largely to the fact that
women marry younger. Thus 6.8 per cent of the
females from 15 to 19 years of age are married, as
compared with 0.7 per cent of the males, and 44.3 per
cent of the females from 20 to 24 years of age are
married, as compared with 21.5 per cent of the males.
In the next age group, 25 to 34 years, the difference is
not so great, the percentages being 73.2 for females
and 63.7for males,while in the next two age groups the
percentage married is higher among the males. That
there is a larger proportion of widows than of widowers
may indicate that men more often remarry than women, but,since husbands are generally older than their
wives, the marriage relationship is more often broken
by death of the husband than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the percentages of married persons among those 15 years of age
and over are as follows: Foreign-born whites, 65.4 for
males and 67.1 for females; native whites of native
parentage, 56.9 and 55.3, respectively; native whites
of foreign or mixed parentage, 44.9 and 48.2; negroes,
56.8 and 55.2.
These percentages by no means indicate the relative
tendency of the several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that, the comparison should be made by
age periods, since the proportion married in any class
is determined largely by the proportion who have
reached the marrying age. Similarly, the proportion
widowed depends largely on the proportion past middle
life. The percentage married, for males and for females, is higher in rural than in urban communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of
dwellings in New Jersey is 407,295, and the total
number of families 558,202, there being 137.1 families
to each 100 dwellings. (See Table I.) The average
number of persons per dwelling is 6.2, and the average
number per family, 4.5.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—This chapter presents a complete
statement of the statistics of agriculture for New
Jersey collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of
farms 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. •
Parn1.—A "farm" for census purposes is all the land which is
directly farmed 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
'nay 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
any tract containing
less than 3 acres which produced at least $250
Worth of farm products
in the year 1909.
Parmer.—A "farmer" or "farm operator," according to the cenBUB definition, is a
person who directs the operations of a farm.
Hence owners of farms
who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not
reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census
into three general classes according to the
character 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 census

to those
owning all their land.

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

unimproved land. The same classiwas followed in
1880. At former censuses, except that of

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation, land lying fallow,land in gardens,orchards,
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 unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite period of time
are the following:
(1) The duplication resultingfrom the feeding offarm 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
were unable to make 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 duplication 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 products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
The total wealth in the form of farm property is
$254,833,000, of which 85.2 per cent is represented by
land and buildings, 5.1 per cent by implements and
machinery,and 9.6 per cent by live stock. During the.
20 years 1850 to 1870 the aggregate value of farm property increased from $135,342,000 to $229,484,000. In
the succeeding 20 years the aggregate value declined
to $182,453,000, and in the 20 years 1890 to 1910 increased to $254,833,000. The increase during the
decade 1890 to 1900 was, however, inconsiderable.
Since 1900 farm values have increased one-third, or
34.5 per cent. It is true of land and buildings as of
total farm property that the increase during the last
decade amounted to one-third of the value in 1900,
being 33.5 per cent. The value of farm implements
and machinery has shown an increase at each census,
1850 to 1910. The increase during the last decade,
however, amounting to 40.5 per cent, is greater in
amount than the increase from 1860 to 1900. The
aggregate value reported for live stock has shown considerable fluctuations, but the increase during the last
decade, from $17,613,000 to $24,589,000, amounts to
39.6 per cent.

In average size the New Jersey farm, which was
76.9 acres in 1910, has shown a net decrease of 38.3
acres since 1850, the decrease being continuous except
for a slight
increase during the decade 1880 to 1890.
The average value of a farm, including its equipment, has advanced during the last decade from
$5,470 to $7,610. Of this $7,610, $6,484 represents the
value of land and buildings, $734 the value of live
stock, and $391 the value of implements and machinery. The average value of farms increased from
1850 to 1870, and decreased at each
decade from 1870
to 1900.
It is now over one and one-third times as
great as in 1850. buring the last decade the value per

1900, 1890, and 1880.
I Prior to 1910 nonspecified tenants were included with cash tenants.

While there was a decrease of 1,163 in the total
number of farms during the last decade, the number
operated by owners and managers increased 898, and
the number operated by tenants decreased 2,061.
In 1880 about one out of every four farms was
operated by a tenant. This proportion increased during the next 20 years, until in 1900 three farms in
every ten were so operated. In the last decade, however, a reversal of this movement has reduced the
relative frequency of tenancy in 1910 to almost
exactly what it was in 1880.
In 1910 the number of share tenants (including
share-cash) was very nearly equal to the number of cash
tenants (including nonspecifled), cash tenancy showing a net increase and share tenancy a net decrease
for the 30-year period 1880 to 1910. Both forms of
tenancy have, however, decreased during the last
decade.

It will be seen that, in 1910, 60.7 per cent of all land
in farms was in farms operated by owners (including
part owners),8.8 per cent in farms operated by managers, and 30.4 per cent in farms operated by tenants,
the percentage for owners being higher, that for tenants
lower, and that for managers the same as in 1900.
As shown by the next table, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (214.5 acres)
was more than twice as great as that of tenant farms
(94.5 acres), which was in turn considerably larger
than that of farms operated by owners (64.8 acres).
The average size of farms operated by managers
decreased decidedly between 1900 and 1910, while that
of farms operated by owners also decreased, and that
of tenant farms increased. In 1910 the percentage of
farm land improved was highest for farms operated by
tenants and lowest for those operated by managers.

sus (1890) was the first to collect data relating to
mortgage debt on farms. The basis of the returns
was the "farm home" occupied by its owner. The
same class of information was secured by the population schedules of the Twelfth Census (1900). The
agricultural schedules of the Thirteenth Census (1910)
secured practically the same information, except that
the basis was "owned farms" instead of "owned
farm homes"-a difference involving, however, no
appreciable incomparability.

Per cent of combined total of "free from mortgage" and "mortgaged."

In 1910 the total number of farms owned in whole
or in part by the operators was 24,133. Of this number, 11,983 were reported as free from mortgage;
11,793 were reported as mortgaged; and for 357 no
report relative to mortgage indebtedness was obtained.
The number of mortgaged farms constituted 49.6 per
cent of the total number of owned farms, exclusive of
those for which no mortgage report was obtained.
The percentage is slightly smaller than it was in 1900,
which in turn was slightly larger than it was in
1890.
It may be noted that the percentages given for the
three censuses are comparable, but that the number
of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms reported in 1890
is not entirely comparable with the numbers reported
at the later censuses because at the census of 1890 the
farms for which no reports were secured were distributed between the two classes of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms. It can be seen, however, that from
1890 to 1910 the number of mortgaged farms increased
more than: the number free from mortgage.
The statement of mortgage debt and of the value of
'mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms of
those farmers who own all of their land and report the
amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. Of the
11,793 farms reported as mortgaged, 11,195 are wholly
owned by the farmers, and for 10,666 of these the
amount of mortgage debt is reported. Only these
last-mentioned farms are included under 1910 in the
next table, which presents data relating to mortgaged
farms for 1910 and 1890. In this connection it should
be noted that in 1890 the amount.of mortgage debt of
farms with incomplete reports was estimated according to the percentages and averages obtained from
farms with full reports, but that no such estimate is
here made for 1910. The table gives a comparative statement of the value of mortgaged farms owned

The average debt of mortgaged farms decreased in
20 years from $2,428 to $1,826, or 24.8 per cent, while
the average value of such farms rose from $4,891 to
$5,204, or 6.4 per cent. Thus the owner's equity increased from $2,463 to $3,378, or 37.1 per cent. As a
result of the increase in farm value and the decrease in
farm debt, the aggregate mortgage indebtedness,
which was 49.6 per cent of the aggregate value of the
mortgaged farms in 1890, had decreased to 35.1 per
cent of this value in 1910.

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 35.4
per cent was in farms of 100 to 174 acres, this being
from the standpoint of aggregate acreage the most important size group. The farms of from 50 to 99 acres,
and those of from 175 to 499 acres comprise, respectively, 22.7 per cent and 20.4 per cent of the total acreage. Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase in
e
the proportion of the total acreage comprised in the
farms of each size group under 175 acres. There was
a rather marked decline in the proportion of land in
farms of 1,000 acres and over.
In general, as shown by the next 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 generally diminishes with the increase in the size of the
farms; it is very much higher for the farms under 20
acres in size than for those of any other group. Many
of the small farms in New Jersey are primarily places of

DOMESTIC ANIMALS, POULTRY, AND BEES.
Domestic animals on farms: 1910.-The census of
1910 was taken as of April 15 and that of 1900 as of
June 1. Since a great many domestic animals are
born during the six weeks between April 15 and June 1,
and on the other hand a considerable number of older
animals are slaughtered or die during the same period,
the numbers of the different classes of animals for the
two censuses are not closely comparable, and the same
is true in somewhat less degree of the values. For
this reason the figures for 1900 are not presented in
this chapter, but in the general reports of the census
the figures for the several states will be presented
and the extent to which their comparability is affected
by the change in the date of enumeration will be
discussed.
Of the total number of farms enumerated,30,941, or
92.4 per cent, report domestic animals of some kind,
the number without any domestic animals being 2,546.
Of all the farms in the state, 76.8 per cent report
cattle, 75.5 per cent reporting "dairy cows" and
14.1 per cent "other cows." Only 438 farms have
cattle without having dairy cows. The total number
of dairy cows decreased somewhat during the decade,
but their average value increased from $37.10 to $46.25
each. The farms reporting dairy cows show an average of over 6 per farm.
The census of 1900 was taken as of June 1, after all
the spring calves were born, while that of 1910 was
taken as of April 15, before the close of the calving
season and when the calves on hand were on the average younger than at the enumeration of 1900. As a


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

result, the calves enumerated were fewer in number
and of lower average value in 1910 than in 1900, the
number decreasing from 39,685 to 27,934, and the
average value decreasing from $8.82 to $7.79.
Horses are reported by 85.8 per cent of all the farms
in the state, but only 5 per cent report colts born in
1909 and 1.5 per cent report spring colts. A comparatively small difference is found in the average
values of mature horses and spring colts, due to the fact
that a large proportion of these colts are reported as
thoroughbreds.
About one farmer in every eighteen reports mules.
The average value of mature mules is higher than that
of mature horses, while the mule colts are considerably
lower in average value than the corresponding horse
groups.
Of all farms, 47.9 per cent report swine, the average
number being 9 per farm reporting. The average
value of the swine reported as "hogs and pigs born
before January 1, 1910," is $10.79, while that of spring
pigs is a little less than one-third as much.
Sheep and lambs are reported from only 878 farms,
or 2.6 per cent of the farms in the state. The number
of spring lambs is 88.4 per cent of the number of ewes.
For the farms reporting ewes the average is over 19
ewes per farm.
The next table summarizes the statistics of domestic animals on farms for the state, recorded as of
April 15, 1910. Cattle and sheep are divided into age
and sex groups, while horses, mules, and swine are

creased from 30,958 to 30,144, or 2.6 per cent, the
average number of fowls per farm reporting increasing from 67 to 86. The value of poultry and the
number of farms reporting were obtained in 1900 for
the total of all fowls only, and not for each kind as in
1910.
Bees on farms: 1910 and 1900.
-The number of
farms reporting bees has decreased from 2,327 in 1900
to 1,627 in 1910, or 30.1 per cent. The number of
colonies of bees decreased from 14,118 to 10,484, or
25.7 per cent, and their value increased from $39,219
to $41,560, or 6 per cent. The average value of
bees per farm reporting was $16.85 in 1900 and
$25.54 in 1910. About 1 farm in every 20 reports
bees.
Domestic animals not on farms: 1910.
-Most of the

domestic animals not on farms are found in cities,
towns, and villages. Statistics for such animals are
shown below. No provision was made by law to
secure data pertaining to poultry and bees not on
farms. In the next table age groups are omitted
for the sakd of brevity, but it may be noted that in
cities and villages a comparatively small proportion of
the animals of each class are in the younger age
groups.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

The total value of all domestic animals in the state
in 1910 was $39,849,000, of which the value of animals not on farms represented 44 per cent, this comparatively high proportion being attributable to the

urban character of a large part of the population of
New Jersey.
The number of horses not on farms was somewhat larger than the number on farms.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.
dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was
130;000. The amount of milk reported was 67,698,000
gallons; assuming that there was the same number of
cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 522 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.
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,
cream, and butter fat sold and the reported value of
butter and cheese made, whether for home consumption or for sale. The total thus obtained for
1909 is $10,157,000, which may be defined as the

The returns for live stock products obtained 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.

The total number of sheep of shearing age in New
Jersey on April 15, 1910, was 16,795, representing a
decrease of 36.3 per cent, as compared with the number on June 1, 1900 (26,363). The approximate production of wool during 1909 was 16,000 fleeces, weighing 95,000 pounds and valued at $22,000. Of these
totals,about one-sixth represents estimates. The number of fleeces produced in 1909 was 43.1 per cent less
than in 1899. The average weight per fleece in 1909
was 5.9 pounds, as compared with 5.2 pounds in 1899,
and the average value per pound was 24 cents, as
compared with 21 cents in 1899.
Goat hair and mohair: 1909 and 1899.
-Although
157 farmers reported 574 goats and kids on their farms
April 15, 1910, only 7 reported the production of goat
hair or mohair during 1909. These farmers reported
53 fleeces, weighing 187 pounds and valued at $56.
In 1899 no production of goat hair or mohair was
reported.
Poultry products: 1909 and 1899.-The statement
below gives data relative to the production and sale
of eggs and poultry:

raised in 1909. The production of eggs actually
reported for the year 1909 was 13,630,000 dozens,
valued at $3,584,000. According to the Twelfth
Census reports the production of eggs in 1899 was
11,943,000 dozens, the value being $1,938,000. The
latter figures, however, are somewhat in excess of the
actual returns at that census, because they include
estimates made to cover those cases where the schedules reported fowls on hand without reporting the
production of eggs. In order to make the returns for
1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar
estimates have been made, the method of estimate
and the justification therefor being substantially the
same as in the case of wool. The total production of
eggs in 1909, including these estimates, was 14,843,000
dozens, valued at $3,903,000. The total production
of poultry in 1909, including estimates made on the
same basis as for eggs, was 4,847,000 fowls, valued at
$3,846,000.
Honey and wax: 1909.-Although,as noted elsewhere,
1,627 farms reported 10,484 colonies of bees on hand
April 15, 1910, 629 of these farms, with 2,159 colonies
on hand April 15, 1910, made no report of honey or
wax produced in 1909. The actual returns show the
production of 152,072 pounds of honey, valued at
$22,484, and 1,372 pounds of wax, valued at $433,the
true totals are doubtless somewhat above these
figures.
Sale or slaughter of domestic animals on farms: 1909

summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing one

The total value of crops in 1909 was $40,340,000.
Of this amount, 91.7 per cent was contributed by
crops for which the acreage as well as the value was
reported, the remainder consisting of the value of
by-products (straw, garden and grass seeds, etc.)
derived from the same land as other crops reported,
or of orchard fruits, nuts, forest products, and the
like. The combined acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported was 1,114,903, representing 61.8
per cent of the total improved land in farms (1,803,336
acres). Most of the remaining improved land doubtless consisted of improved pasture, land lying fallow, house and farm yards, and land occupied by
orchards and vineyards, the acreage for which was not
reported.
The general character of New Jersey agriculture is
mdicated by the fact that more than one-third (34.9
per cent) of the total value of crops in 1909 was contributed by potatoes and other vegetables, while

about one-fourth (24.3 per cent) was contributed by
the cereals, and less than one-fifth (18.9 per cent) by'
hay and forage. The remainder, representing in value
about 22 per cent of the total, consisted mostly ef
flowers and plants, nursery products, orchard fruits
and nuts, and small fruits.
The total value of crops in 1909 was 44.5 per cent
greater than that in 1899, this increase being due in
large measure to higher prices. There was a decrease
of 8.1 per cent in the total acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported, the greatest absolute decreases
being those for cereals and for hay and forage, while
the acreage of potatoes and of other vegetables showed
an increase.

1909,3,857 farms in the first class, representing about
five-eighths of the total acreage of vegetables and over
two-thirds of the total value, the average acreage of
vegetables per farm for these farms being 13.6 and the
average value of products per acre $98.81.
The raising of flowers and plants and of nursery
products is also relatively important in New Jersey,
3,603 acres being devoted to them in 1909, and the
output being valued at $3,539,523. Most of the
product was raised on a few farms, where these

but gave no information as to their products.

In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes and other vegetables was 181,722 and their ,value $14,073,467. Excluding (so far as reported separately') potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables
was 86,227 and their value $7,566,000, both acreage
and value being materially greater than in 1899. The
table distinguishes between farms which make the
raising of vegetables a business of some importance

Strawberries are by far the most important of the
small fruits grown in New Jersey, with cranberries
ranking next. The total acreage of small fruits in
1909 was 24,069, and in 1899, 25,350, a decrease of
5.1 per cent. The production in 1909 was 38,823,000
quarts, as compared with 28,339,000 quarts in 1899,
and the value $1,954,000, as compared with $1,406,000.
Orchard fruits, grapes, nuts, and tropical fruits: 1909
and 1899.
-The following table presents data with regard to orchard fruits, grapes, nuts,and tropical fruits.
The acreage devoted to these products was not ascertained. In comparing one year with the other the
number of trees or vines of bearing age is on the
whole a better index of the general changes or tendencies than the quantity of product, but the data
for the censuses of 1910 and 1900 are not closely
comparable and the product is therefore compared,
although variations may be due largely to temporarily
favorable or unfavorable climatic conditions.
The total quantity of orchard fruits produced in
1909 was 2,372,000 bushels, valued at $1,975,000.
Apples contributed nearly three-fifths of'this quantity,
peaches and nectarines and pears most of the remainder. The production of grapes amounted to 6,501,000
pounds, valued at $133,000, while the production of
nuts and of tropical fruits was relatively unimportant.
The production of all orchard fruits together in 1909
was 61.5 per cent less in quantity than that in 1899,

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
while the production of grapes increased. The value
of orchard fruits declined from $2,595,000 in 1899 to
$1,975,000 in 1909, while that of grapes increased from
$81,758 in 1899 to $132,957 in 1909.
It should be noted in this connection that the values
for 1899 include the value of more advanced products
derived from orchard fruits or grapes, such as cider,
vinegar, dried fruits, and the like, and may therefore
involve some duplication, while the values shown
for 1909 relate only to the products in their original
condition.

Forest products: 1909 and 1899.
-The census schedules for 1910 called for the "value of all firewood,
fencing material, logs, railroad ties, telegraph and
telephone poles, materials for barrels, bark, naval
stores, or other forest products cut or produced in
1909, whether used on farm, sold, or on hand April 15,
1910," and also, in a separate item,for the "amount
received from sale of standing timber in 1909."
There were 10,799 farms in New Jersey (32.2 per cent
of all farms in the state) which reported forest products in 1909, the total value of such products being
$758,515, as compared with $469,055 in 1899, an
increase of 61.7 per cent. Of the value in 1909,
$417,980 was reported as that of products used or to
be used on the farms themselves, $235,407 as that of
products sold or for sale, and $105,128 as the amount
received for standing timber. It should be noted
that forest products not produced on farms are not
included in this report.
-Straw and cornstalks
Miscellaneous crops: 1909.
derived as by-products from the production of grain
and corn have a considerable value for feed and other
purposes. They are, however, mainly consumed on
the farms producing them. The Census Bureau made
no attempt to ascertain the total quantity or value of
these products, but the schedules called for the quantity and value of those sold during the year 1909. The
returns show that 2,476 farmers in New Jersey sold,
during 1909, 27,496 tons of straw, for which they
received $367,015, and that 853 farmers sold 4,964
tons of cornstalks and leaves, for which they received
$26,589.

paid for fertilizer is almost double that reported for
1899, the average per farm reporting being $181.
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 sales as well
as of the production of the more important feedable
crops (that is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock). The
following table summarizes the data reported:

1 Not reported at the census of 1900.

Seven-tenths of the farmers in New Jersey hire labor,
and the average amount spent by those hiring is $473.
The total amount expended, 22.2 per cent of which
was in the form of rent and board, is about one and
two-thirds times as great as that reported in 1900.
During the decade 1899 to 1909 the total expenditure
for labor increased $4,378,000, or 65.1 per cent. At
prior censuses no tabulation was made of the number
of farmers reporting expenditures for labor.

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of New Jersey for the
calendar year 1909, 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
Whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership, size of establishments,
number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of
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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries (1) for the state
as a
Whole and (2) for the cities of Bayonne, Camden,
Elizabeth, Hoboken, Jersey City, Newark, Passaic,
Paterson, and Trenton. It also gives the same items
for all industries combined for every
city, town, and
borough having in 1910 a population of over 10,000
but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
.10 cities
having 50,000 inhabitants or more, for all
industries combined and selected

The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory system, as distinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries.
Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced to a
comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 hot
include the total product covered by this designation, because
some part of this product may be made in establishments in which
it is not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents

preciation. 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 such power, the inclu&on 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 bound-

635

aries of cities, and are necessarily so classified, though locally they
are looked upon as constituting a part of the manufacturing interests of the cities.
Laundries.—The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using
mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are not
included in the general total for manufacturing industries, in order
to avoid interference with comparisons with prior censuses.
Custom sawmills and gristmills.—In order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those for 1904 the data for these mills have
been excluded from all the tables presenting general statistics, and
are given in a separate table at the end of this chapter.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.—New Jersey, with a
gross area of 8,224 square miles, of which 710 represent
water surface, ranks forty-fifth in size among the 49
states and territories of continental United States. Its
Population in 1910 was 2,537,167, as compared with
1, 83,669 in 1900 and 1,444,933 in 1890. It ranked
8
eleventh among the states and territories as regards
population in 1910 and sixteenth in 1900. New Jersey
is the third most densely populated state in the Union,
its density being 337.7 per square mile in 1910, the corresponding figure for 1900 being 250.7. Seventy-five
and two-tenths per cent of the entire population of the
state in 1910 resided in cities and other incorporated
Places having a population of 2,500 or over, as against
70.4 per cent in 1900.
In 1910 the state had 9 cities with a population of
over 50,000: Newark, 347,469; Jersey City, 267,779;
Paterson, 125,600; Trenton, 96,815; Camden,
.94,538;
Elizabeth,
73,409; Hoboken, 70,324; Bayonne, 55,545;
and Passaic, 54,773. There were also 23 cities and
Other incorporated places with a population between
10,000 and 50,000. (See table on page 748.) These 32

of the state in 1910 and reported 74.3 per cent of the
t°tal value of its manufactured products. Only 10.7

to its splendid transportation facilities,

Importance and growth of manufactures.—New
Jersey is preeminently a manufacturing state. During 1849 an average of 37,830 wage earners, representing 7.7 per cent of the total population, were employed in manufactures, while in 1909 an average of
326,223, or 12.9 per cent of the total population, were
so engaged. The total value of the manufactures of
the state, including the products of the neighborhood
and hand industries, amounted to only $39,851,000 in
1849, while in 1909, exclusive of the value of the products of the neighborhood and hand industries, it
reached $1,145,529,000, or nearly twenty-nine times the
value reported in 1849. The population of the state in
1910, however, was only a little more than five times
its population in 1850. The gross value of products
per capita of the total population of the state increased
from $81 in 1849 to $451 in 1909. New Jersey reported 3.9 per cent of the total value of products of
the manufacturing industries in the United States in
1849 and 5.5 per cent in 1909, holding sixth place
among the states in gross value of manufactures at
,both censuses.
The table on the following page gives the most important figures relative to all classes of manufactures
combined for 1909, 1904, and 1899, together with the
percentages of increase from census to census.
In 1909 the state of New Jersey had 8,817 manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to
an average of 371,265 persons during the year and
paid out $218,046,000 in salaries and wages. Of the
persons employed, 326,223 were wage earners. These
establishments turned out products to the value of
$1,145,529,000, to produce which materials costing
$720,033,000 were used. The value added by manufacture was thus $425,496,000, which figure, as explained in the Introduction, best represents the net
wealth created by manufacturing operations during
the year.
In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of New Jersey had a greater
development during the more recent five-year period,
1904-1909, than during the preceding five-year
period, 1899-1904. During the more recent period
the number of establishments increased 25.8 per cent
and the average number of wage earners 22.5 per cent,

while the value of products increased 47.9 per cent and
the value added by manufacture 40 per cent. As
pointed out in the Introduction, it would be improper
to infer that manufactures increased in volume to the

full extent indicated by these figures representing
values, since the increase shown is certainly due, in
part, to the increase that has taken place in the price
of commodities.

The relative importance and growth of the leading
manufacturing industries of the state are shown in
the table on page 637.
It should be borne in mind, in considering this table,
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication due to the use
of the product of one establishment in the industry as
material for another establishment.
The table specifies 79 industries which in 1909 had
products in excess of $500,000 in value. Of the
industries listed in the table, there are 3 whose
products exceeded $50,000,000 in value; 5, with
products between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000; and 16,
with products between $10,000,Q00 and $25,000,000;
making an aggregate of 24 industries, with products
in excess of $10,000,000. Mention is also made of 19
other industries, with products between $5,000,000
and $10,000,000; 28, with products between $1,000,000
and $5,000,000; and 8, with products of less than
$1,000,000.
In addition to the industries presented separately
in the table, there are 38 other important industries
in the state which had products in 1909 exceeding
$1,000,000 in value, distributed as follows: 30, with
$1,000,000 but less than $5,000,000; 3, with $5,000,000
but less than $10,000,000; and 5, with $10,000,000 and
over. These industries are included under the head of
"All other industries" in the table, in some cases because the operations of individual establishments would
be disclosed if they were shown separately; in others,
because the returns do not properly present the true
condition of the industry, for the reason that it is
more or less interwoven with one or more other industries; and in still others, because comparative sta-

tistics can not be presented for 1904 and 1899 on
account of changes in classification.' Of the industries
which are not presented separately, those which are of
special importance are petroleum refining and the
refining of cane sugar. The statistics for 1909, however, for 6 of these industries, namely, the manufacture of automobiles, including bodies and parts; blacking and cleansing and polishing preparations; chocolate
and cocoa products; men's furnishing goods;signs and
advertising novelties; and sulphuric, nitric, and mixed
acids are presented separately in Table II, page 670.
There are, as already noted, a very large number of
industries which are of considerable importance. Furthermore, it will be seen from Table II that there is
a wide diversity in the manufacturirig activities of
the state. The leading products of the state are refined copper, silk goods, woolen goods, and foundry
and machine-shop products. If the several textile industries are combined and considered as a unit they constitute the leading industry of the state. The principal details concerning some of the more important
industries are specially considered on pages 638 to 640.

SUPPLEMENT FOR'NEW JERSEY.

Textiles.—The textile industries of New Jersey comprise the manufacture of silk and silk goods, including the operations of throwsters; woolen, worsted, and
felt goods, and wool hats; cotton goods, including
cotton small wares; fur-felt hats; cordage and twine
and jute and linen goods; hosiery and knit goods;
carpets and rugs, other than rag; and shoddy.
The statistics for the manufacture of shoddy can
not be shown without disclosing the operations of
individual establishments. Combined,the other seven
industries gave employment in 1909 to an average
of 60,647 wage earners and the value of their products amounted to $133,205,000. These figures represent an increase over 1904 of 9,670, or 19 per cent, in
the average number of wage earners and $48,160,000,
or 56.6 per cent, in value of products. From 1899
to 1904 the gain in number of wage earners was
4,177, or 8.9 per cent, and that in value of products
$12,405,000, or 17.1 per cent. In 1909, 18.6 per cent
of the total number of wage earners employed in the
manufacturing industries of the state and 11.6 per cent
of the total value of manufactured products were reported for these industries. The corresponding figures
for 1904 were 19.1 per cent and 11 per cent,respectively.
Dyeing and finishing textiles.—Closely allied to the
textile industry is the dyeing and finishing of textiles.
The classification covers the independent establishments bleaching, dyeing, and mercerizing raw fibers,
yarns, and woven cloth, as well as the printing of cotton piece goods. A considerable number of the cotton,
silk, and woolen mills carry on one or more of these
subordinate processes with the primary manufacturing
in the same establishment, therefore the statistics for
the independent establishments engaged in dyeing
and finishing do not represent the full extent of the
industry. In 1909 reports for some of the dyeing
and finishing establishments in the state included the
cost of the materials upon which the work was performed and its value as finished. In such cases the
cost and value of these goods were deducted, in order
to place all of the reports on a uniform basis and to
make the statistics comparable with those for prior
censuses, when the value of products represented only
the value added to the materials by the processes.
From 1904 to 1909 the average number of wage earners
in the industry increased 2,532, or 33.3 per cent, and
the value of products $3,816,000, or 31.9 per cent. In
1904 New Jersey was the first state in the Union in this
industry, with products valued at $11,980,000, but
although the value of products had increased to
$15,796,000 in 1909, it then held second place.
Smelting and refining, copper.—This industry is
confined chiefly in New Jersey to the refining of crude
copper. The value of all ore smelted and crude copper
refined is included in the cost of materials, and the
total value of all products is reported, regardless of
whether the materials belonged to the plant reporting
or were worked on a toll basis. Measured by value
of products, the industry was by far the most impor-

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

tant in the state in 1909, the value of the output
($125,651,000) representing 11 per cent of the total
value of all manufactured products. From 1904 to
1909 the value of products increased $62,855,000, or
100.1 per cent, and from 1899 to 1904 the increase
was $24,431,000,or 63.7 per cent. New Jersey ranked
first among the states in this industry in 1909, 1904,
and 1899.
Foundry and machine-shop products.—This classification includes foundries and machine shops and all
allied industries except those which manufacture a distinctive product which is covered by sonic other classification,such as cash registers and calculating machines,
sewing machines,and electrical machinery. The establishments engaged in the manufacture of gas meters,
hardware, plumbers' supplies,steam fittings,structural
ironwork, and cast-iron pipe, nearly all of which were
reported under separate classifications at previous censuses, are all included under this general heading. The
industry showed a relatively greater increase in value
of products from 1899 to 1904 than from 1904 to 1909,
the percentages being 36.5 and 29.4, respectively.
Slaughtering and meat packing.—Under this head
are included the wholesale slaughtering and meat-packing establishments and those engaged in the manufacture of sausage only. From 1899 to 1904 the average
number of wage earners increased but 154, or 26.1 per
cent, and the value of products $3,539,000, or 24.9
per cent, but the development of the industry was so
rapid during the later five-year period, 1904-1909, that
the average number of wage earners increased 1,072, or
,
143.9 per cent, and the value of products $19,829,000
the
or 111.7 percent. The industry is confined largely to
northern part of the state, 59.4 per cent of the total
value of products being reported from Jersey City alone.
Wire.—This classification includes establishments
primarily engaged in drawing wire from purchased
wire rods. It does not include the wire product of
the wire departments of steel works and rolling mills.
The industry shows a remarkable growth for each of
the five-year periods.
Leather, tanned, curried, andfinished.—This industry
includes not only establishments which are engaged
primarily in the manufacture of leather, but also
those which treat hides or skins for others. The cost
of materials and the value of products, however, do
not include the value of the hides or skins treated
under contract. In 1849 New Jersey was the seventh
state of the Union with respect to value of products,
reporting 143 establishments,which employed an average of 618 wage earners and turned out products valued
at $1,389,582. In 1909 the state held fourth position,
in which year, although only 86 establishments were
engaged in the industry, the number of wage earners
was nearly nine times as great and the value of products more than twenty times as great as in 1849.
Electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies.—The
rapid extension of the uses of electricity in science
and industry has created an increasing demand for

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
, appliances with which to utilize such energy. Therefore it was to be expected that the industry would show
remarkable development during the decade. Measured
by value of products, New Jersey held third place
among the states in this industry in 1909, with products valued at $28,365,000, an increase over 1904 of
$14,562,000, or 105.5 per cent, and for the 10-year
period 1899 to 1909 an increase of $20,832,000, or 276.5
per cent.
Chemicals.
-This classification includes the manufacture of acids (except sulphuric, nitric, and mixed
acids), sodas, alums, coal-tar products, cyanides,
bleaching materials,plastics(celluloid,etc.),compressed
or liquefied gases, alkaloids, etc., when they are made
as a chief product by the establishment reporting.
Chemicals manufactured as by-products in establishments classified under a different head are not included.
In 1909 the industry gave employment to 5,046 wage
earners, an increase of 1,449,or 40.3 per cent, over the
number reported for 1904, and during the same period
the value of products increased $9,800,000, or 75.2 per
cent. New Jersey held second rank in this industry in
the United States both in 1904 and in 1909.
Manufactures from precious metals
.-The manufacture of jewelry is allied closely to the production of
silverware and plated ware and the reducing and refining of gold and silver from clippings, sweepings, and
scrap. In 1909 these three industries combined
employed an average of 5,416 wage earners, and turned
out products valued at $20,743,000. The most
important branch of the industry is the manufacture
of jewelry, which gave employment to an average of
4,008 wage earners in 1909 and reported products to
the value of $13,272,000. Measured by value of
products, New Jersey ranked fourth among the states
in the jewelry industry in 1909.
Rubber goods, not elsewhere specified.-This classification includes the manufacture of rubber clothing,
automobile, carriage, and bicycle tires, mechanical
rubber goods, etc. It does not include the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes, rubber belting and
hose, or suspenders, garters, and elastic woven goods.
Although there was fi decline in value of products
from 1899 to 1904 of $3,622,000, or 42.8 per cent, there
Was an increase of $11,085,000, or 131.1 per cent, for
the 10-year period from 1899 to 1909. New Jersey held
Second place among the states in this industry in 1909.
Soap.
-The manufacture of soap is an important
industry, in which the state held fourth place among
the states in 1909, advancing from fifth place in 1904.
In 1909 this industry gave employment to an average of 1,599 wage earners and reported products to
the value of $13,674,000, these figures representing
increases over the corresponding figures for 1904 of
158.3 per cent and 240.3 per cent, respectively.
Pottery, terra-cotta, andfire-clay products.
-The name
of New Jersey is intimately associated with this indust.tY, and the state held second rank among the states

1899. From 1904 to 1909 the average number of
wage earners increased 3.5 per cent and the value of
products 12.1 per cent, the corresponding increases
from 1899 to 1904 being 16.9 per cent and 31 per
.
cent, respectively.
Paint and varnish.
-Of the 63 establishments included under this classification in 1909,37 were engaged
primarily in the manufacture of paint, with products
valued at $7,486,000, representing 58.6 per cent of
the total for the industry as a whole.• From 1904 to
1909 there was an increase in the average number of
wage earners of 533, or 55.5 per cent, and in the value
of products of $5,800,000, or 83.2 per cent. Measured
by value of products, New Jersey was one of the
leading states in the manufacture of paint and varnish
at each of the last three censuses, reporting 10.2 per
cent of the total value of such products for the United
States in 1909, 7.7 per cent in 1904, and 8.9 per cent
in 1899.
Oilcloth and linoleum.
-New Jersey leads all other
states in the production of oilcloth and linoleum, with
43.5 per cent of the value of ouch products in 1909 and
36.8 per cent in 1904. The value of products reported
for the industry in the state, as presented in Table I,
shows an increase of $4,699,000, or 86.3 per cent,from
1904 to 1909. A comparison of the statistics for 1909
and 1899 shows that during the decade the average
number of wage earners increased 1,260, or 146 per
cent; the value of products, $7,298,000, or 256.5 per
cent; and the value added by manufacture, $2,395,000,
or 215.8 per cent.
It will be seen from the table on page 637 that some
of the industries that stand very high in gross value of
products hold a comparatively low rank in the
average number of wage earners employed and in
value added by manufacture. Where this is the case
it indicates that the cost of materials represents a
large proportion of the total value of products, and
that therefore the value added by manufacture, of
which wages constitute usually the largest item, is
not commensurate with the total value of products.
Thus the smelting and refining of copper, which ranks
first in gross value of products, and the slaughtering
and meat-packing industry, which ranks fourth in
that respect, hold thirtieth and forty-fourth places,
respectively, with regard to number of wage earners,
and fifteenth and twenty-ninth places, respectively,
when ranked by value added by manufacture. Similar
conditions exist in the wire industry, the manufacture
of paint and varnish, and a considerable number of less
important industries.
On the other hand, the foundry and machine-shop
industry, which ranks third in value of products, ranks
first in value added by manufacture and second
in number of wage earners; the manufacture of silk
goods ranks second both in value of products and in
value added by manufacture, and first in number of
wage earners; the woolen-goods industry ranks fifth
in value of products, sixth in value added by manu-

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

facture, and third in number of wage earners; while
the manufacture of electrical machinery, apparatus,
and supplies, and tobacco manufactures both rank
higher in value added by manufacture and in number
of wage earners than in value of products.
This table shows the percentages of increase or decrease for each industry in value of products and value
added by manufacture where comparable statistics
are presented in Table I, page 660. Most industries
show an increase in both itemsfor each five-year period.
Exceptionally large percentages of increase in value of
products from 1904 to 1909 are shown for the manufacture of dairymen's, poulterers', and apiarists' supplies, and artificial stone, and from 1899 to 1904 for
confectionery. Of the other industries showing large
increases during one or both five-year periods,the more
important are the smelting and refining of copper;
slaughtering and meat packing; the manufacture of
woolen, worsted, and felt goods, and wool hats; electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies; tobacco
manufactures; rubber goods; soap; and copper, tin,
and sheet-iron products.
Important exceptions to the general increase in the
various industries are the manufacture of carriages
and wagons and materials, which decreased both in
value of products and in value added by manufacture for each five-year period, and the manufacture
of fancy articles and of musical instruments and materials not specified, each of which shows a decrease in
value of products for both periods and a decrease in
value added by manufacture for the period 1904-1909.
Five other industries show decreases from 1904 to 1909
in both value of products and value added by manufacture, one a decrease in value of products only, and
one a decrease in value added by manufacture only,
while for the period 1899-1904 five other industries
show decreases in both items, two decreases in value
of products only, and four show decreases in value
added by manufacture only. The apparent decrease
in value of products reported for the more recent
period for the steel works and rolling mills, as shown
in Table I, page 661, was due largely to a change in
the classification. At the census of 1904 the reports
for establishments which combined the manufacture
of iron and steel and of wire included both branches
of the industry, the returns being classified as "Iron
and steel, steel works and rolling mills." At the
census of 1909 separate reports were made by some
of these companies for their wire mills, and such
reports were classified as "Wire." This has resulted
in a decrease in the amounts reported for steel works
and rolling mills at the census of 1909, as compared
with 1904, and an increase in the totals for wire. If
the two industries, however, are combined for both
censuses, the increase in the value of products becomes
31.1 per cent.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
Of the total number of persons engaged in all manufacturing industries, 4.7 per cent were proprietors and
officials, 7.4 per cent clerks, and 87.9 per cent wage
earners. The highest percentage of proprietors and
officials is shown for the bakeries. In this industry
and in the lumber and the printing and publishing
industries the majority of the establishments are
small and the work is done to a large extent by the
proprietors or their immediate representatives, so
that the proportion of persons engaged in these industries falling into the class of proprietors and officials
Is much higher than for most other industries or for all
industries combined. The highest proportion of wage
earners is reported for the woolen and worsted goods
industry, and the lowest for establishments engaged
Ii). the manufacture of oils, "not elsewhere specified,"
Which industry shows the largest percentage of clerks.
The following table shows, for 1909, in percentages,
for all industries combined, the distribution of the
average number of wage earners by age periods, and
for those 16 years of age and over by sex, calculated
in the manner described in the Introduction. It also
Shows,for some of the important industries separately,
a similar distribution of wage earners as reported for
December 15, or the nearest representative day.
As a means of judging the importance of the several
industries the average number employed for the year
Is also given in each case.

641

In all industries combined, 72.5 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of age and over; 25.2 per cent, females 16 years of
age and over; and 2.3 per cent, children under the
age of 16. Of the total number of women employed
as wage earners, 31.6 per cent were in the cotton-goods,
silk-goods, and woolen and worsted goods industries,
over one-half of the employees in each of these industries being women 16 years of age and over. The
manufacture of boots and shoes, men's clothing, electrical machinery, and tobacco products each shows
a large proportion of female wage earners, 36.3 per
cent, 66.3 per cent, 39.3 per cent, and 70.2 per cent,
respectively.
The three textile industries above mentioned together
employed 30 per cent of the total number of wage
earners under 16 years of age. The proportions of such
wage earners engaged in each industry were as follows:
Cotton goods, 8.9 per cent; silk goods, 3.6 per cent;
and woolen and worsted goods, 4.5 per cent.
In order to compare the distribution of persons engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at
the census of 1904, it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison
according to occupational status:

wage earners 16 years of age and over, the proportion
of females was greater in 1909 than in 1899, while on
the other hand, that of males was smaller in 1909.
-The following
Wage earners employed, by months.
table gives the number of wage earners employed on
the 15th of each month during the year 1909 for all
industries combined, for the canning and preserving
industry, and for all other industries combined; it
gives also the percentage which the number reported
for each month is of the greatest number reported for
any month. In Table II, page 670, are shown, for
a majority of the important industries in the state,
the largest number and the smallest number of wage
earners reported for any month. The figures are for
the 15th day, or the nearest representative day, of the
month.

Canning and preserving, which is a seasonal industry,
gave employment to a large number of persons in the
months of August, September, and October, and to a
relatively small number through the winter and spring
months. From 273 wage earners in January, the number employed increased to 6,021 in September. The


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

number reported for January, the month of minimum
activity, was only 4.5 per cent of the number reported
for September, the month of maximum activity. In
the glass industry the greatest number of wage earners,
7,286,was reported for the month of April, and the least
number, 1,151, for the month of August. This variation is accounted for by the fact that the manufacture
of glass is practically suspended during the months of
July and August. So few wage earners are employed
in these two industries, however, as compared with the
total number employed in all industries, that they
have only a slight effect on the fluctuation of employment from month to month in all industries combined.
-In the next table wage
Prevailing hours of labor.
earners have been classified according to the prevailing hours of labor in the establishment in which they
are employed. In making this classification the average number of wage earners employed during the year
is used, and the number employed in each establishment is classified as a total according to the hours prevailing in that establishment, even though a few employees work a greater or less number of hours.
It is evident from this table that for the great majority of wage earners employed in the manufacturing
industries of New Jersey the usual hours of labor
range from 54 to 60 per week, 12.8 per cent of the
total being employed in establishments where the
prevailing hours are less than 54 a week and only
4.6 per cent in establishments where they are more
than 60 a week.
In the malt-liquor, marble and stone work, and
printing and publishing industries 48 hours or less per
week prevail for a majority of the wage earners. In
nearly all of the larger industries the prevailing hour
are from 54 to 60 per week. Practically all of the
wage earners in the gas industry, however, are in
plants where the hours of employment are 60 a week
or more.

in 1904 could be determined for all the states.

wage

In 1909, 74.3 per cent of the total value of products
was reported from cities and other incorporated places
having over 10,000 inhabitants, and 76.3 per cent of
the average number of wage earners were employed in
such places. The figures indicate that the manufacturing industries in incorporated places with more
than 10,000 inhabitants contributed slightly larger
percentages of the total number of establishments,
average number of wage earners, and value added by
manufacture, and a somewhat smaller percentage of
the value of products in 1909 than in 1899.
The increase in the population of certain places has
affected the grouping in the table. East Orange,
Orange, Perth Amboy, and West Hoboken, which for
1909 fall into the group comprising places having between 25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, had less than
25,000 inhabitants in 1900, and for 1899, therefore,
are included with the cities and towns having between
10,000 and 25,000 inhabitants. Eight of the places
falling in 1909 into the group comprising incorporated
places of between 10,000 and 25,000 inhabitants
Asbury Park, Bloomfield, Garfield, IIackensack,
Irvington, Long Branch, West New York, and West
Orange-had less than 10,000 inhabitants in 1900, so
that for 1899 their statistics are included with those
for districts outside of cities. The fact that in 1909
the combined value of products reported by the manufacturing industries of the eight places just mentioned
was $31,524,468, or 2.8 per cent of the total for the
state, makes the increase in the proportion of the total
value of products reported by the industries outside of
incorporated places of over 10,000 inhabitants more
worthy of note.
The group comprising the incorporated places of
between 10,000 and 25,000 inhabitants contributed a

smaller proportion of the total value of products in
1909 than in 1899, and the group made up of the places
having between 25,000 and 100,000. inhabitants a considerably larger proportion, while for Newark, JerseY
City, and Paterson, the three cities having more than
100,000 inhabitants, a decided loss is shown in the
percentage which their combined value of products
forms of the total. Of the total value of products
reported for the state in 1909, 8.2 per cent was reported from the 6 cities, 11 towns, and 1 borough
2
having between 10,000 and 25;000 inhabitants, 31.
per cent from the 10 cities and 1 town having between
25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants, and 35 per cent frorn
the 3 cities having 100,000 inhabitants and over.
The population for 1910 and 1900 of the 32 incorporated places which had 10,000 inhabitants or over
in 1910 is given in the following statement:

With the exception of Elizabeth and West Hoboken,
each place for which comparative statistics are presented shows an increase in value of products from
1904 to 1909, and all but Montclair show an increase
from. 1899 to 1904.

creased 5,101, or 25.1 per cent. Among the leading
industries, measured by value of products, was the
slaughtering and meat-packing industry, with products valued at $22,314,000, which represented 59.4
per cent of the total value of products for this industry
in the state. Other important industries were tobacco
manufactures, foundries and machine shops, the manufacture of gas, and steam-railroad repair shops:
Three of the most important industries in the city in
1909 were the manufacture of soap, the refining of
sugar, and the refining of petroleum, but their statistics can not be shown separately without disclosing
the operations of individual establishments.
Bayonne shows an increase in value of manufactured products amounting to $13,007,000, or 21.5 per
cent, from 1904 to 1909, and an increase in average
number of wage earners of 462, or 6.5 per cent. The
leading industries were petroleum rerming, smelting
and refining from clippings, sweepings, and scrap,
foundries and machine shops, and the manufacture of
electrical machinery and apparatus. The foundry and
machine-shop industry, however, is the only one of
these for which statistics can be shown separately in
Table I without disclosing the operations of individual
establishments. Twenty-one industries were reported
in 1909 which did not appear at the census of 1904, the
most important of which were the manufacture of
copper, tin, and sheet-iron products, cooperage and
wooden goods, silk and silk goods, and soap.
Perth Amboy was the fourth city in the state in
1909 in value of manufactured products, having advanced from fifth position since 1904 and displaced
Paterson. Since the city had less than 50,000 inhabitants in 1910,its statistics are presented by totals only
in Table I. From 1904 to 1909 the total value of products increased $38,292,000, or 110 per cent, and the
average number of wage earners 1,916, or 48.5 per
cent. These large gains were due in a great measure
to the appearance of several important industries in
1909 which were not reported at the census of 1904,
such as the manufacture of ammunition, of paving
materials, and of electrical machinery and apparatus,
and to the increase in the value of products of the copper
smelting and refining industry, which is by far the
most important industry of the city.
The fifth city in importance, measured by value of
products, was Paterson. From 1904 to 1909 the
total value of the manufactured products of this city
increased $14,911,000, or 27.3 per cent, and the
average number of wage earners 3,495, or 12.3 per
cent. The leading industry was the manufacture of
silk and silk goods, in the production of which this
city outranked all others in the United States in 1909,
1904, and 1899. In 1909 this industry gave employment in Paterson to 18,828 wage earners, or 58.8 per
cent of the total number for all industries, and reported
products to the value of $40,358,000, or 58 per cent of

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

the total value of products for the city. Other important industries were the dyeing and finishing of
textiles, foundries and machine shops, the making of
men's clothing, and slaughtering and meat packing.
From 1904 to 1909 the total value of manufactured
products in Camden increased $15,551,000, or 46.3
per cent, and the average number of wage earners
3,866, or 30.5 per cent. Measured by value of products, the most important industry was the tanning,
currying, and finishing of leather, with products
valued at $5,920,000, which gave employment to an
average of 1,111 wage earners. The shipbuilding industry was next in importance, with a value of products amounting to $5,626,000, and an average of
3,324 wage earners. Other important industries were
the manufacture of phonographs and graphophones,
foundry and machine-shop products, and woolen and
worsted goods.
The total value of products reported for Trenton
increased $16,649,000, or 51.4 per cent, and the average number of wage earners 4,413, or 31.2 per cent,
during the five-year period 1904-1909. Trenton owes
much of its industrial prominence to the manufacture
of pottery, terra-cotta, and fire-clay products, which
industry in 1909 reported products to the value of
$6,996,000, and gave employment to an average of
5,030 wage earners, these figures representing 14.3
per cent and 27.1 per cent, respectively, of the totals
for all industries in the city, and 53.2 per cent and
51.2 per cent, respectively, of the totals for this industry in the state. Other important industries were
the manufacture of wire, rubber goods, foundry and
machine-shop products, and rubber belting and hose.
In Passaic the value of products increased $18,947,000, or 83.2 per cent, and the average number of wage
earners 4,086, or 37.1 per cent, between 1904 and 1909.
Two of the most important industries in the city were
the manufacture of cotton goods and of woolen and
worsted goods, the combined value of their products
amounting to $20,536,000 and the average number of
wage earners employed to 8,191, representing 49.2
per cent and 54.3 per cent, respectively, of the corresponding totals for all industries in the city.
The value of products for Elizabeth showed a slight
decrease between 1904 and 1909, due principally to a
falling off in foundry and machine-shop products, and
in oils,"not elsewhere specified," and to the fact that a
large establishment engaged in the, refining of copper in 1904 was reported as idle in 1909. The most
important industry in the city in 1909 was the manufacture of sewing machines. The statistics for this
industry can not be shown separately without disclosing the operations of individual establishments,
but in 1909 the industry gave employment to more

than one-half of the average number of wage earners
reported for all manufacturing industries in the city.
Other important industries were the manufacture of
wire and of electrical machinery and apparatus, and
steam-railroad repair shops.
While there was a decrease of 35, or 12.5 per cent,
in the number of establishments in Hoboken between
1904 and 1909, the value of products increased
$6,336,000, or 45 per cent, and the average number of
wage earners 873, or 12.1 per cent. The foundries
and machine shops, which gave employment in 1909
to 855 wage earners and reported products to the value
of $1,808,000, formed the most important industry in
the city. Next in importance were the bakeries and the
furniturefactories. The tanning and finishing of leather,
shipbuilding, and the manufacture of moving picture
apparatus and of lead pencils were other important
industries, but their statistics can not be shown without
disclosing the operations of individual establishments.
The other incorporated places having over 10,000
population in the order of their importance as measured by value of products in 1909, and the principal
industries of each, were as follows: Harrison,foundries
and machine shops, steelworks and rolling mills, and
electrical machinery and apparatus; New Brunswick,
surgical appliances and tobacco manufactures; West
New York, lard refining, cottonseed oil and cake, and
silk goods; Orange, phonographs and graphophones and

The most important distinction shown is that
between corporate and all other forms of ownership.
For all industries combined, 29 per cent of the total
number of establishments were under corporate ownership in 1909, as against 71 per cent under all other
forms. The corresponding figures for 1904 were 26.2
per cent and 73.8 per cent, respectively. Of the total
value of products in 1909, the establishments operated
by corporations reported 84.8 per cent, as against 15.2
per cent for those under all other forms of ownership,
while in 1904 the corresponding figures were 79.7 per
cent and 20.3 per cent, respectively. Similar conditions prevail to a greater or less extent in most of the
industries presented separately, except that for men's
clothing the greatest proportion,38.8 per cent,of value

turing 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 following table groups the establishments according to the value of their products.
The table also shows the average size of establishments
for all industries combined and for important industries separately, as measured by number of wage
earners, value of products, and value added by manufacture. The totals for all industries are shown for the
last two censuses, while for the industries presented
separately figures are given for 1909 only.

per cent) of the total number of establishments, but
the value of their products amounted to only fivetenths of 1 per cent of the total. The great bulk of the
manufacturing was done in establishments having products valued at not less than $100,000.
During the five years from 1904 to 1909 there was a
marked increase in the proportion of the total value of
products reported by the largest establishments-those
reporting products to the value of $1,000,000 and
over-and a decrease in the proportions reported by
each of the four remaining classes.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

650

The fact that between 1904 and 1909, the average
value of products per establishment increased from
$110,466 to $129,923, and the average value added by
manufacture from $43,355 to $48,259, can not be taken
as in itself indicating a tendency toward concentration. The increased values shown may be, and probably are, due in part to the increase that has taken
place in the price of commodities. The average
number of wage earners per establishment decreased
from 38 to 37.

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
following table shows, for 1909, such a classification
for all industries combined and for 35 important industries individually, and gives, not only the number
of establishments in each group, but also the average
number of wage earners employed.

the 8,817 establishments reported for all industries, 8.1 per cent employed no wage earners; 46.3 per
cent, from 1 to 5; 22.8 per cent, from 6 to 20; 9.5 per
cent, from 21 to 50; and 13.3 per cent, 51 or more.
The largest single group consists of the 4,078 establishments employing from 1 to 5 wage earners each,
and the next of the 2,010 establishments employing
from 6 to 20 wage earners. There were 276 establishments that employed over 250 wage earners, including
31 that employed over 1,000.
Of the total number of wage earners, 51.7 per cent
Were in establishments employing over 250 wage
earners. The single group having the largest number
of wage earners was that comprising the establishMents employing from 101 to 250 each. These
establishments employed 60,448 wage earners, or 18.5
Per cent of the total. Most of the industries listed in
this table but not in the preceding one are industries
in which comparatively large establishments do most
of the business, as appears from the classification according to the number of 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. Facts of interest can, however, be brought
out concerning the relative importance of the different
classes of expenses which make up the total.
The following table shows, for 1909, in percentages,
the distribution of expenses among the classes indi-

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW JERSEY.

The table shows that, for all industries combined,
69.7 per cent of the total expenses were incurred for
materials, 21.1 per cent for services-that is, salaries
and wages-and 9.2 per cent for other purposes. As
would be expected, these proportions vary greatly in
the different industries.
Engines and power.
-The following table shows,
for all 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 censuses of 1909, 1904, and 1899. It also
shows separately the number and horsepower of electric Motors, including those operated by current generated in the manufacturing establishments.

in 1904 and 1.3 per cent in 1899. Water power and
the owned power classed as "Other" show decreases
for the decade.
The use of electric motors for the purpose of applying the power generated within the establishment is
also shown to be increasing rapidly, the horsepower of
such motors having increased from 11,731 in 1899 to
58,698 in 1904 and 149,318 in 1909.
Fuel.-Closely related to the question of kind of
power employed is that of the fuel consumed in generating this power or otherwise utilized as material
in the manufacturing processes.
The following table shows the quantity of each kind
of fuel used in 1909 for all industries combined and
for certain selected industries:

Includes the neighborhood industries and hand trades, omitted in 1904 and 1909.
I Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.
Not reported.

Of the increase of 289,790 horsepower in the total
primary power from 1899 to 1909, 248,362 horsepower
was in that generated by steam engines. The proportion of steam power in the total primary power,
however, increased from 87.2 per cent in 1899 to 88.7
per cent in 1904 but decreased to 86.5 per cent in 1909.
The more general use of gas engines is shown, there
being 1,116 such engines, with an indicated capacity
of 20,867 horsepower, reported in 1909, as against
677 engines, with 9,070 horsepower, in 1904 and 420
engines, with 3,284 horsepower, in 1899. The figures
also show that the practice of renting electric power is
on the increase, 5.4 per cent of the total power being of
this character in 1909, as compared with 2.4 per cent

The total number of producing spindles increased
from 864,984 in 1904 to 910,724 in 1909, or 5.3 per
Cent, the largest increase being in the woolen and
orsted goods industry. The total number of looms
increased from 29,984 in 1904 to 37,287 in 1909, or
24.4 per cent, the largest relative gain being in the
cotton-goods industry, although both the silk and the
Woolen industries show substantial increases. The
number of sets of woolen cards decreased, while the
411Mber of combing machines increased, these changes
resulting from a decline in the woolen branch and a
PaPld growth in the worsted branch of the woolen and
Worsted goods industry.

purchased in 1909 was greater than in 1904, but the
quantity of organzine and tram purchased was somewhat less. The latter condition is due to a large extent to the increase in the practice among the mills of
having the raw silk thrown on contract instead of
purchasing the silk in the form of organzine and tram.
Of the products, plain and fancy broad silks were
the most important. The output of those made
wholly of silk in 1909 was 36,759,094 yards, valued at
$24,000,880, a gain of 11.5 per cent in quantity and
26.1 per cent in value over the corresponding figures
for 1904. The production of all-silk Jacquards practically doubled in the five years. In each class of
broad silks, the silk-mixed fabrics show a greater
relative increase than the all-silk fabrics. The value
of the ribbons produced in 1909 shows a gain of 49.2
per cent over 1904, and of 79.5 per cent over 1899.
The large increase in the amount received for contract
work is indicative of the greater prevalence of commission throwing; the quantity of silk thrown on
commission in 1909 was 2,661,205 pounds, as compared with 1,689,088 pounds in 1904.

quantities of cotton-mixed and cotton-warp goods.
The large increase in the quantity of worsted yarn
produced for sale indicates a greater degree of specialization in the industry. Because of the fact that the
spinning and the weaving operations are frequently carried on in different establishments, the products of one
establishment in the industry often become materials
for another. To the extent, therefore, that the yarns
manufactured for sale were sold by the establishments producing them to other establishments in the
state engaged in the woolen industry, for use as materials in their manufacturing processes, a duplication
is involved in the total cost of materials and value of
products for the industry.

This table shows a number of important changes
between 1904 and 1909 in the quantity and character
of the materials used in the industry. The quantity
of foreign wool used increased greatly, while that of
domestic wool decreased. In 1909, of the total quantity of wool reported, 70.5 per cent was domestic and
29.5 per cent foreign,while in 1904 the proportions were
90.9 per cent and 9.1 per cent, respectively. There was
an increase in total quantity of wool, as shown on the
scoured-wool basis, from 9,728,167 pounds in 1899 to
22,346,674 pounds in 1909. The quantity of tailors'
clippings,rags, etc., and of cotton and cotton yarn purchased fell off considerably, but the quantity,of worsted
yarn purchased increased 248.2 per cent from 1899 to
1904, and 349 per cent from 1904 to 1909.
The quantities and values of the products of the
industry are shown in the next table.
The increase in wool manufactures as a whole has
been almost entirely in the worsted-goods branch of
the industry. The output of worsted dress goods more
than quadrupled during the decade, amounting in 1909
to 19,126,851 square yards,valued at $10,855,092. Included under the head of "All other" all-wool woven
goods are large quaRtities of carded wool fabrics, especially woolen dress goods. Contrasted with the large
increases in all-wool fabrics are the decreases in the

In 1909 the $28,430,955 reported as the value of products in New Jersey represented 8.7 per cent of the total
shown for the industry in the United States. Corresponding percentagesfor 1904 and 1899 were 8.5 per cent
and 6.7 per cent, respectively. Most of the different
groups of products show a decided increase from 1904
to 1909. The state reported in 1909, 523,494 sides of
patent and enameled upper leather, 1,901,020 tanned
and finished sheepskins, and 6,340,036 tanned and
finished goatskins, these figures representing 19.4 per
cent, 9.7 per cent, and 13.2 per cent, respectively, of
the corresponding totals for the United States.
In 1909 carriage, automobile, and furniture leather
was the product of greatest value, forming 31.1 per
cent in 1909 and 23.9 per cent in 1904 of the total
value of products of the industry in the state. The
amount received in 1909 for work on materials furnished by others ($767,158) represents a decided
decrease as compared with the amount shown for
1904, but is more than five times that reported for
1899. The estimated value of the leather treated
on commission in 1909 was $4,044,508.

CHAPTER 5.
MINES AND QUARRIES.
Introduction.—The present chapter contains a com-

plete statement of the statistics of all mining industries, which include all mines and quarries in the state
of New Jersey for the year 1909, as shown by the
Thirteenth Census.
A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
mining industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
The explanations here given show*
.the usage of the
nulling census generally, though some of the special
lu. les have obviously no relation to particular states
111 which the industries referred to do not exist.
Scope of census.—The Thirteenth Census covered all classes of
'limes, quarries, and petroleum and gas wells that were in operation
!luring any portion of the year 1909, both those which were producing and those whose operations were confined to development
Work. Mines, quarries, or wells that were idle during the entire
Year 1909 were omitted from the canvass. The following operations
Were likewise omitted from the canvass: Prospecting; the digging
or dredging of sand and gravel for the construction of roads and for
building operations; the production of mineral waters; and the
Operation of small bituminous coal banks producing less than 1,000
tons annually.
Where the mineral products are not marketed in their crude
Condition, but are dressed or washed at the mine or quarry, the
statistics of mining cover the entire work of obtaining the crude
Material and its preparation for the market.
, Period covered.—The returns cover the calendar year 1909, or the
h311siness year which corresponds most nearly to that calendar year.
1
.
he statistics cover a year's operations, except for enterprises
which began or discontinued business during the year.
t, Number of operators.—As a rule, the unit of enumeration was the
°Perator." Every individual, firm, or corporation was required
to furnish one report for all mines, quarries, or wells which were
,°Perated under the same management or for which one set of
01ce
n° of account was kept. Separate reports were obtained for all
properties operated in different states, even where they were owned
Y .the same operator. Likewise, where the operations of one
individual, firm, or corporation covered more than one class of
Mines and quarries, such as coal, iron, limestone, etc., a separate
report was received for each industry.
Number of mines, quarries, and wells.—This figure represents
the total number of mines and quarries in operation or in the course
?i development at any time during the calendar year 1909, or the
b usiness year that corresponds most nearly to that calendar year,
and the number of completed petroleum and natural gas wells in
°Aeration on December 31, 1909.
most mining and quarrying industries the number of mines
or quarries
varies but little from the number of operators.
Expenses of operation and development.—A certain amount of
development work is incidental to the operation of every mine.
1:he expenses reported for producing mines include the cost both
of Operation
and of development work which was done in connection
With operation.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however, could be furnished only in those
cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and materials
used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the beginning and
at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from
general among mine operators, and there is reason to believe that in
many cases the reported cost of supplies and materials covered all
purchased during the year rather than those used during the year.
The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for
further dressing or refining; the cost of such materials is shown
separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state
the total amount of capital invested in the enterprise on the last day
of the business year reported, as shown by his books.. There is,
however, a great diversity in the methods of bookkeeping in use by
different operators. As a result, the statistics for capital lack uniformity. Some of the figures reported apparently represent capital
stock at face value; others include large investments in mineral
lands which are not at present being actively mined, but are held in
reserve; still others may include expenditures for unproductive
mining ventures in no way related to the operations carried on
during the census year.
Persons engaged in mining industries.—The statistics of the number of operators and officials, clerks, and wage earners are based
on the returns for December 15, or the nearest representative day.
The reported number of wage earners includes overseers and foremen performing work similar to that of the men over whom they
have charge; those whose duties are wholly supervisory are classed
as superintendents and managers. Because of the common practice
• of shutting down mines at frequent intervals, it is impossible to
ascertain with any satisfactory degree of accuracy the average number of employees—that is, the number who, if continuously employed, would be required to produce the actual output of the year.
Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
were obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey, but the two bureaus follow different methods in presenting these statistics. The Geological Survey shows separately the value of each mineral product, whereas
the Bureau of the Census presents the value of products of each
mining industry. The value of products given for a mining industry often includes the value of some products not covered by the industry designation. The crude product of metalliferous mines may
include varying combinations of metals, such as gold, silver, copper,
lead, zinc, and iron. Similarly, the total value of all products of
the granite quarries is not identical with the value of the total output of granite, but may include the value of some marble or other
stone quarried in connection with the principal product.
The value of products for 1909 in most cases represents the value
of the products marketed during that year, not the value of those
mined during that year.

in mind that this latter distribution does not show the
exact proportion of the total number of wage earners
working the specified number of hours per day, since,
in some cases, a part of the employees worked a greater
or less number of hours than those generally prevailing in the enterprise. For all industries combined a
day of 10 hours prevailed in 71.5 per cent of all enterprises weighted according to the number of wage earners employed.

Comparison of mining industries: 1902-1909.
---In
order to make comparisons between 1909 and 1902 it
is necessary to omit from the 1902 figures, as given in
the mines and quarries report for that year, statistics
for the production of cement, and to add to the 1909
statistics, figures for the production of lime, which
were omitted from the census of mines and quarries
in 1909. Such items as are comparable for the two
years are presented in Table 6.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of
New York, by counties and minor civil divisions, as
enumerated at the Thirteenth Census,taken as of April
15, 1910, with comparative statements of population
where possible, and a statement and discussion for the
state as a whole of the population living in urban and
in rural territory. The statistics are given in detail
in two general tables.
Table 1 (p. 576)shows the population of New York,
distributed according to counties and minor civil
divisions, at the last three Federal censuses, namely,
those of 1910, 1900, and 1890. The arrangement of
counties and of the primary divisions in each county
is alphabetical. The figures for second
ary divisions
are printed in italics. The change
s in boundaries,
name, or form of organization that have taken place
since 1900 are indicated in the footno
tes to the table.
For changes between 1890 and 1900
reference must
be made to the census report of
1900.
It may be noticed that in a few
cases the county
totals as given in Table 1 for 1900
and 1890 exceed
the aggregate population
of the minor civil divisions
as shown in the table.
This is due to the fact that
some of the minor civil divisio
ns of the respective
counties had gone out of existence by 1910, their
territory having been annexed to one more
or
other divisions or taken to form new
divisions.
Table 2 (p. 589) shows the cities and incorporated
villages in New York, alphabetically arrang
ed, with
their population in 1910,
1900, and 1890.

last two Federal censuses according to urban and rural
districts, are given in Table I of Chapter 2.
The tables and text of the present chapter contain
few technical expressions whose meaning is not apparent. The census usage in regard to certain terms
is, however, explained below:
Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number of square miles in its land area. In calculating the density
of rural population, the same divisor is used as it is not practicable
to ascertain and deduct the exact area covered by the urban districts, and even if this could be done with accuracy the deduction
of this area from the total land area would ordinarily make no
appreciable difference in the resulting quotient.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election pre-.
cincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions, those which rank next to
the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In
many instances, however, these primary divisions contain political
units of still smaller area, such as cities, incorporated villages,
towns,or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to as
secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population dellned.—The Census Bureau, for
purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that residing
in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more,
and rural population as that residing outside of such incorporated
places.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations 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
preceding census, it is necessary to classify the territory according
to the conditions as they existed at each census. In this comparison
a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants in 1900 and over 2,500
in 1910 is classed with the rural population for 1900 and with the
urban for 1910. On the other hand,in order to present fairly the
contrast between urban and rural communities,as regards their rate
of growth, it is necessary to consider the changes in population for
possession until 1682, when William Penn obtained from him a quit-claim to Pennsylvania and by another deed acquired Delaware.
A short time after obtaining his grant,the Duke of York had conveyed the territory now constituting New Jersey to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. In
1702 the proprietors surrendered their right of government to the English crown;
and from that time until 1738 New Jersey was under the governor of New York,
but had its own legislature.
In 1686 the area between the Kennebec and the St. Croix, now a part of Maine,
was transferred by royal order from the jurisdiction of New York to that of the
Dominion of New England, and under the charter of 1691 it became part of the
a
royal province of Massnrhusetts Bay.
The territory west of the Connecticut River which now forms parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut was, by concessions and agreement
s made at various
times prior to the Revolution, given up by New York to those colonies.
The area now constituting Vermont was for many years in dispute between
New York and New Hampshire. In 1777 the inhabitan
ts of the disputed territory
organized an independent government, and in 1790 the
present boundary between
New York and Vermont was established. Since that
date the boundaries of New
York have not been materially changed.
In 1781 New York ceded to the Federal Government its claim lands west
to
of its
present limits.
New York was one of the original thirteen states.

different class. This avoids the disturbing effect on comparisons
which would arise from the passage, for example, of communities
formerly classed as rural into the urban group. These two distinct
forms of comparison are made in Table I of Chapter 2 for the state
as a whole and for each county separately for the last two Federal
censuses.

the same territory which have occurred from one decennial census to
another. For this purpose the territory which in 1910 was urban or
rural, as the case may be, is taken as the basis, and the population
in 1900 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

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION.

The percentages for 1910 and for 1860, however, were
practically the same.
The following table shows the population of New
York at each Federal census from 1790 to 1910, inclusive, together with the increase and per cent of
increase during each decade, in comparison with the
per cent of increase for the United States as a
whole.

Population of the state.—The population of New

York is 9,113,614. Compared with a population of
7,268,894 in 1900, this represents an increase during
the last decade of 1,844,720, or 25.4 per cent. During the same period the total population of the
United States increased 21 per cent. The percentage
of increase for the state during this decade was larger
than that shown by any Federal census since 1850.

It will be noticed from this table that the earliest
censuses showed the most rapid growth of population
for the state. From 1790 to 1850 the population of the
state increased more than nine times; since 1850 it
has increased not quite ,three times. The largest percentage of increase for any decade, 73.2, was shown
by the census of 1800. From that time the rate of
growth decreased with each decade, except that from
1840 to 1850, until for the decade 1860-1870 the
increase was only 12.9 per cent. Since 1870 the rate
of increase shown for the state has been a little larger
at each successive census. The numerical increase
during the last decade was more than five times the
population of the state in 1790.
A comparison of the rates of increase for the state
with those for the United States, as given in the
preceding table, shows that from 1790 to 1830 the
rate of increase during each decade was considerably
larger for the state than for the country as a whole.
From 1830 to 1890 the rate of increase for the
country as a whole was larger than that for the
state. Since 1890 the rate of increase for the state has
been larger than that for the United States. The
population of the state in 1910 was more than'twentysix times as large as in 1790, when the First Federal
Census was taken, while the population of the United
States in 1910 was more than twenty-three times that
in 1790.

Principal cities.—New York has 49 cities. New
York City, the largest, has a population of 4,766,883,
while Buffalo, the next largest city, has a population
.
of 423,715. Rochester, with 218,149 inhabitants,Syracuse, with 137,249 inhabitants, and Albany, with
100,253 inhabitants, are the only other cities in the
state which have a population of more than 100,000.
Of the remaining cities, 2 have from 75,000 to 100,000,
2 from 50,000 to 75,000, 12 from 25,000 to 50,000, 24
from 10,000 to 25,000, and 4 from 5,000 to 10,000
inhabitants, The aggregate population of the 49 cities
is 6,727,015, or 73.8 per cent of the total population of
the state.
Table 2 shows the population in 1910 of all the cities
of the state, with comparative figures, where possible,
for 1890 and 1900. The table on page 569 shows the
population of the 21 cities having in 1910 over 25,000
inhabitants, as reported at each Federal census since
their incorporation as cities or villages or since their
organization as towns, so far as figures are, available,
together with the increase during each decade.
In case any city was incorporated as a village previous to its incorporation as a city, the population is •
given as far back as the date of such incorporation.
In the cases of Auburn, Buffalo, New Rochelle, Troy,
and Utica,the population is given as far back as their
organization as towns.

City and Its boroughs as now constituted, see
statement and table on page 570.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

570

Of the cities included in the preceding table, four
show an increase in population from 1900 to 1910 of
-New Rochelle, Niagara Falls,
more than 50 per cent
Schenectady, and Yonkers. Schenectady shows the
highest percentage of increase, namely, 129.9 per cent,
and Elmira the lowest, 4.2 per cent. Buffalo, with an
increase of 20.2 per cent during the decade, shows a
lower rate of growth than for any previous decade.
Even its absolute increase was smaller than that shown
at any census since 1880. In contrast to the diminishing rate of growth shown for Buffalo, the rates of increase for Rochester and Syracuse for the last decade
were higher than for the preceding decade.
The city of New York showed a higher rate of increase during the last decade than during any decade
since 1860, except 1890-1900, when the increase in
population was greatly augmented through the annexation of territory. From 1790 to 1860 the decennial
rate of increase was below 50 per cent in only one
decade, 1810-1820. Since 1860 the decennial rate has
ranged from 15.8 per cent for the decade 1860-1870 to
126.8 per cent for the decade 1890-1900.
In the preceding table the population of New York is
given for the city as it existed at the time each census
was taken. Changes in territory have not been taken
into consideration.
The changes which have taken place in the organization and territory of New York City since 1890 are as
follows:
In 1890 the city comprised all of what is now the
Borough of Manhattan and approximately half of
what is now the Borough of the Bronx. On June 6,
1895, the eastern half of the present Borough of the
Bronx,comprising the former town of Westchester and
portions of the towns of Eastchester and Pelham, was
annexed, and on January 1, 1898, Brooklyn (coextensive with Kings County), Richmond County, and
part of Queens County, the last named embracing
Long Island City, the towns of Newtown, Flushing,
and Jamaica,and a small portion of the town of Hempstead,were annexed.
On January 1, 1898, the city was divided into five
boroughs, as follows:
Manhattan Borough comprises Manhattan Island,
together with a number of small islands lying in the
East River and New York Bay. The present area of
this borough is approximately the same as that of the
city of New York as it existed at the time of the first
nine Federal censuses, those of 1790 to 1870, inclusive.
The Borough of the Bronx comprises that part of the
city of New York lying to the north and east of the

Harlem River. All of this area was at one time a part
of Westchester County, except two small islands in
the East River which formerly belonged to Queens
County. In 1873 the towns of Morrisania, West
Farms, and Kings Bridge were annexed to New York,
and the remainder in 1895, as already noted. Manhattan and Bronx Boroughs together form New York
County.
Brooklyn Borough is coextensive with Kings County.
Under an act of the legislature of the state the towns
of Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend, and New Utrecht
were absorbed by the city of Brooklyn in 1894, the town
of Flatbush becoming the twenty-ninth ward,the town
of New Utrecht the thirtieth ward, the town of Gravesend the thirty-first ward, and the town of Flatlands
the thirty-second ward. The city of Brooklyn thus
became coextensive with Kings County.
Queens Borough comprises that part of the city of
New York which was annexed from Queens County,
and is coextensive with the present Queens County.
That part of the former county remaining outside New
York City, and constituting the towns of Oyster Bay
and North Hempstead, together with the greater part
of the town of Hempstead, went to form the new
county of Nassau. The first ward of Queens Borough
comprises what was formerly Long Island City, the
second ward what was formerly Newtown town, the
third ward what was formerly Flushing town, the
fourth ward what was formerly Jamaica town, and the
fifth ward that part of the town of Hempstead now
within the limits of the borough named.
Richmond Borough is coextensive with Richmond
County, and practically coextensive with Staten
Island. The first ward of Richmond Borough comprises what was formerly Castleton town, the second
ward what was formerly Middletown town, the third
ward what was formerly Northfield town, the fourth
ward what was formerly Southfield town, and the
fifth ward what was formerly Westfield town.
It is impossible to state definitely the population at
the earlier censuses of that part of the town of Hempstead which became a part of Queens Borough, and of
the parts of the towns of Eastchester and Pelham
which became a part of Bronx porough. Including
estimates for these comparatively unimportant components of the present city of New York for
the censuses from 1790 to 1890, the following table gives
the
population of the present area of the city
and of its
boroughs as returned at each Federal census
from 1790
to 1910, inclusive.

STATISTICS OF POPULATION.
From the preceding table it appears that the area
comprised within the present limits of the city of New
York had a population of 49,401 in 1790, as compared
with a population of 4,766,883 in 1910. The population of the city in 1910 was more than ninety-six
times its population in 1790, while that of New York
state in 1910 was more than twenty-six times its
population in 1790, and that of the United States
in 1910 was more than twenty-throe times its popu

County to 88.3 per
cent in Schenectady County, and
the absolute
increases from 276 in Cattaraugus Coun

Density of population.
-The total land area of the
state is 47,654 square miles. The average number of
persons to the square mile is 191.2; in 1900 and 1890
it was 152.5 and 126, respectively. The avera
ge
number per square mile for the United States as
a
whole in 1910 was 30.9. In density of population
New York ranks fifth among the state
s.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

The density of population is given by counties in
Table I of Chapter 2 and in the maps on page 575,
both for the entire population and for that living in
rural territory, excluding in the latter case the population of places of 2,500 inhabitants or more, but not
excluding the land area of such places.
The four counties comprising New York City
Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond-show the
highest density of any counties of the state. The
density of these counties ranges from 1,791 persons per
square mile in Richmond County to 43,850 in New
York County. Outside of New York City,Westchester
County, which borders on the city, has the highest
density, namely, 631.8 persons to the square mile.
Hamilton County, with an area of 1,700 square miles,
has the lowest density, 2.6 persons per square mile.
-The political divisions into
Minor civil divisions.
which counties are subdivided are collectively termed
"Minor civil divisions." In New York the counties
are divided into 982 primary divisions, comprising

933 towns and 49 cities. There are also 450 secondary divisions, comprising that number of incorporated villages. Incorporated villages, with one
exception, form parts of the towns in which they are
located. Green Island village, in Albany County, is
coextensive with the town of the same name. In the
case of New York City, conditions are exceptional, the
city being classed as a minor civil division, although
including four counties. Besides these minor civil
divisions there are 6 Indian reservations in the
state, returned under the counties in which located.
Urban and rural population compared.
-The following
table presents the population of New York at the
censuses of 1910, 1900, and 1890, respectively, distributed among cities and incorporated villages
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 it existed at each census.

As shown by the above table, the urban territory
of the state in 1910-that is, the cities and incorporated villages of 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained
7,185,494 inhabitants, or 78.8 per cent of the total
population, while 1,928,120 inhabitants, or 21.2 per
cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory as
it existed in 1900-that is, the cities and incorporated
villages then having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 5,298,111 inhabitants, or 72.9 per cent of the
total population, while 1,970,783 inhabitants,, or 27.1
per cent, lived in rural territory. There has thus
been a considerable increase in the proportion of urban
population. For the United States as a whole the
urban population constituted 46.3 per cent of the total
population in 1910 and 40.5 per cent of the total
population in 1900.
A comparison of the figures for 1910, 1900, and 1890,
as given in this table, shows an uninterrupted increase
in the proportion of the population in the two groups
of communities having more than 100,000 inhabitants
each, while in the group of places having from 5,000 to

10,000 inhabitants each there was an uninterrupted
decrease. The proportion of the population in each
of the other groups of urban communities
failed to
show a uniform movement. The proportion
of the
population in the combined groups of urban
communities outside of New York City, including
Brooklyn for
1890, has remained practically
stationary, the percentages for 1910, 1900, and 1890, being
26.5, 25.6, and
26.2, respectively. Thus it is seen
that the increase in
the proportion of urban population was
almost wholly
due to the growth of this one city,
which in 1910
contained more than half of the
total population
of the state and almost two-thirds
of the urban
population. '
The urban population of the state is
contained in
49 cities and 99 villages. Of the total
population, 21.2

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERI6TICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.
-The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of New York by counties and
minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the
density of population, and the proportions urban and
rural, the present chapter deals with the composition
and characteristics of the population. The two chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes.
Description of the tables.
-The greater part of this
chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage, sex, citizenship, illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings
and families, as follows: Table I for the state and
counties; Table II for cities of more than 25,000 inhabitants; Table III for places of 10,000 to 25,000;
Table IV for places of 2,500 to 10,000; and Table V for
wards of cities of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 17) reproduces from the general tables the more important
state and city totals, and presents also certain additional data relative to state of birth, age, and marital
condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the
statistics on each subject are shown according to race,
and for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign
born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage-that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign
parentage--having both parents born abroad;
(3)
native, mixed parentage-having one parent native
and the other foreign born; (4) foreign born. As the
second and third classes do not differ 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. Urban population,
as defined by the
Bureau of the Census, includes that of all incorporated
Places of 2,500 inhabitants or more, the remainder
being classified as
rural.
The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

attended any kind of school at any time between September 1, 1909, and the date of enumeration, April
15, 1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person
10 years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).
-Of the total population of New York, 3,230,325, or 35.4 per cent, are
native whites of native parentage; 3,007,248, or 33
per cent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage; 2,729,272, or 29.9 per cent, are foreign-born
whites; and 134,191, or 1.5 per cent, are negroes. The
corresponding percentages in 1900 were 39.2, 33.2, 26,
and 1.4, respectively, the proportion of foreign-born
whites having increased during the decade. In 35 of
the 61 counties the percentage of foreign-born whites
is less than 15; in 18 it is between 15 and 25; in 6 it is
between 25 and 35; and in 2,New York and Kings,it is
35 or over. Of the 2,762,522 inhabitants of New York
County,45.4 per cent are foreign-born whites and only
15.8 per cent are native whites of native parentage.
In 23 counties the percentage of native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage exceeds 25, being 42.6 in Queens,
41.5 in Erie,and 40.6in Kings. (See mapson page607.)
Of the urban population, 27.2 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 66.1 per
cent. The corresponding proportions for native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage are 36.5 and
19.9 per cent, respectively. The percentage of
foreign-born whites is 34.5 in the urban population
and 12.8 in the rural.
Sex (Tables 2 and 12).
-In the total population of
the state there are 4,584,597 males and 4,529,017
females, or 101.2 males to 100 females. In 1900 the
ratio was 98.9 to 100. Among native whites the ratio
is 97.5 to 100, and among foreign-born whites 110.5 to
100. In the urban population there are 99.5 males
to 100 females, and in the rural, 108.1.
State of birth (Tables 3 and 4).
-Of the total native
population-that is, population born in the United
States-88.7 per cent were born in New York and 11.3
per cent outside the state; of the native white population, 10.4 per cent were born outside the state; and of
the native negro, 59 per cent. - Persons born outside
the state constitute a larger proportion of the native
population in urban than in rural communities.
Foreign nationalities (Tables 5 and 13).
-Of the
foreign-born white population of New York, persons
born in Russia represent 20.5 per cent; Italy, 17.3;
Germany, 16; Ireland, 13.5; Austria, 9; England, 5.4;

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

Canada,4.5; Hungary,3.5; Sweden,2; all other countries, 8.4. Of the total white stock of foreign origin,
which includes persons born abroad and also natives
having one or both parents born abroad, Germany
contributed 21.5 per cent; Ireland, 19; Russia, 14.8;
Italy, 12.9; Austria, 6.7; England, 6; Canada, .7;4
Hungary, 2.5; Scotland, 1.6; Sweden, 1.6.
-The total
Voting and militia ages (Table 6).
number of males 21 years of age and over is 2,836,773,
representing 31.1 per cent of the population. Of such
males, 32.1 per cent are native whites of native parentage, 23 per cent native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage, 43 per cent foreign-born whites, and 1.6
per cent negroes. Of the 1,221,013 foreign-born white
males of voting age, 502,083, or 41.1 per cent, are
-number
naturalized. Males of militia age-18 to 44
2,156,361.
-Of the total populaAge (Tables 7, 8, 14, and 15).
tion, 9.9 per cent are under 5 years of age, 17.4 per
cent from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 19.5 per cent from
15 to 24, 32.5 per cent from 25 to 44, and 20.6 per cent
45 years of age and over. The foreign-born white
population comprises comparatively few children, only
7 per cent of this class being under 15 years of age,
while 73.6 per cent are 25 years of age and over. Of
the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 38.3
per cent are 25 and over, and of the native whites of
native parentage, 49 per cent.
The urban population shows a larger proportion of
persons in the prime of life than the rural and a smaller
proportion past middle age. Migration to the city and
the influx of foreign immigrants explains this at least
in part. Of the urban population, 33.6 per cent are
from 25 to 44 years of age, inclusive, and of the rural
population, 28.3 per cent, while for those 45 years and
over the percentages are 18.3 and 28.7, respectively.
The large number of children in families of foreign origin
may account for the fact that the proportion of children under 5 is greater in the urban population than
in the rural.
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years,
persons of
inclusive-is 2,454,428, of whom 1,563,374, or 63.7
per cent, attended school. In addition to these,
55,773 children under 6 and 31,716 persons 21 and over
attended school. For boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 64.4; for
girls, 63. For children from 6 to 14 years, inclusive,
the percentage attending school was 90. The. percentage for children of this age among native whites
of foreign or mixed parentage was 90.6; among native
whites of native parentage, 89.9; among foreign-born
whites,88.3; and among negroes,87.1. (See Table I.)
There is little difference between urban and rural communities as regards the percentage of school attendance for the ages from 6 to 14, but of persons from 15
• to 20 years, inclusive, 25 per cent in urban communities, as against 37.2 per cent in rural, were reported
as attending school.
Illiteracy (Table 10).
-There are 406,020 illiterates
in the state, representing 5.5 per cent of the total


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

population 10 years of age and over, the percentage
being the same as in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy
is 13.7 among foreign-born whites, 5 among negroes,
and 0.8 among native whites.
For all classes combined, the percentage of illiterates
is 5.9 in urban communities and 3.9 in rural, but for
each class separately,the rural percentage exceeds the
urban.
For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive,
whose literacy depends largely upon present school
facilities and school attendance, the percentage of
illiteracy is 2.1. (See Table I.)
Marital condition (Tables 11 and 16).
-In the population 15 years of age and over, 39.8 per cent of the
males are single and 33.7 per cent of the females. The
percentage married is 55.2 for males and 54.5 for
females, and the percentage widowed 4.4 and 11.3,
respectively. The percentages of those reported as
divorced, 0.2 and 0.3, respectively, are believed to be
too small, because of the probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is smaller for women
than for men is due largely to the fact that women
marry younger. Thus 5.7 per cent of the females
from 15 to 19 years of age are married, as compared
with 0.5 per cent of the males, and 39.6 per cent of the
females from 20 to 24 years are married, ag compared
with 18.7 per cent of the males. In the next age
group, 25 to 34 years, the difference is not so great,
while in the succeeding age groups the percentage
married is higher among the males.
That there is a larger proportion of widows than of
widowers may indicate that men more often remarry
than women, but, since husbands are generally older
than their wives, the maieriage relationship
is more
often broken by death of the husband than by
death
of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the
percentages of married persons among those
15 years of
age and over are as follows: Foreign-born
whites, 62.9
for males and 61.5 for females; native whites
of native
parentage, 54 and 53.3, respectively; native whites
of
foreign or mixed parentage, 44.9 and 46.9;
negroes,
53.3 and 50.6.
These percentages by no means indicate
the relative
tendency of the several classes as regards
marriage.
To determine that, the comparison should be
made by
age periods,since the proportion married in
any class is
determined largely by the proportion who
have reached
the marrying age. Similarly, the
proportion widowed depends largely on the proportion
past middle
life. The percentage married, both for males
and for
females, is higher in rural than in urban
communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of
dwellings in New York is 1,178,686, and the total
number of families 2,046,845, there being
173.7
families to each 100 dwellings. (See Table I.) The
average number of persons per dwelling is 7.7, and the
average number per family, 4.5.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—Thischapter presents a complete stateInent of the statistics of agriculture for New York
collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of farms
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 belov.
Parm.—A "farm" for census purposes is all the land which is
directly farmed by one person managing and conducting agricultural operations, either by his own labor alone or with the assist'nee of members of his household or hired employee
s. 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
any tract containing less
than 3 acres which produced at least
$250 worth of
farm products in the year 1909.
Parmer.—A "farmer" or "farm operator," according to the
eennus definition, is a person who directs the operations .of
a
farm
Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct .the
farm
operations are not reported as"farmers." Farmers are divided
by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according
to the
character of their tenure, namely, owners, tenants, and
managers.
_1
:arm owners include (1) farmers operating
their own land only,
and (2)
rom those operating both their own land and some land hired
others. The latter are sometimes referred to in the census
reportsas "part owners,"
the term "owners" being then restricted
to those
owning all their land.
F
armtenants are farmers who, as tenants, renters, or croppers,
Operate hired
land only. They were reported in 1910 in three
classes: ()
n,,
1 Share tenants—those who pay a certain share of the
t_7ucts, as one-half, one-third, or one-quarter;
(2) share-cash
\I
:Zthose who pay a share of the products
for part of the
tho,e rented by them and cash for part; and (3) cash tenants—
such."pay a cash rental or a stated amount of labor or products,

land, woodland being included with unimproved land. Improved
land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation, land lying fallow, land in gardens, orchards,
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 unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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 oke farm are fed to the live stock of another farm, it is believed
that the farmers were unable to make 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 orgislaughtered during the
same year and that it is impossible to eliminate the duplication
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 products are incomplete.•
The returns for all products are to a considerable extent estimate
s
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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the precedin
g
year. It is 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
byproducts, such as straw and cornstalks, which are of considera
ble
importance, the schedule calling only for the value of
such byproducts sold.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
New York ranks first in population and twentyninth in land area among the states and territories
of continental United States. The state occupies a
Portion of the great plateau which slopes to the west
and north from the Appalachian Ranges. In its
eastern section it is also crossed by the continuation
of these ranges, while the Adirondack Mountains constitute an independent mountainous mass in the northern part of the state. Long Island comprises a narrow
Portion of the Coastal Plain section, which is more
broadly developed in the states south of New York.
Of the entire area of the state, about one-twentieth—
most of which is on Long Island—lies below an altitude of 100 feet above sea level. Four-fifths of the
state lies between elevations of 100 feet and 1,500 feet.
It is only the higher portions of the plateau and the
mountainous altitudes of the Adirondacks and Catskills which rise above 2,000 feet, while the maximum
altitude, which is in excess of 5,000 feet, is found only
in the case of a few Adirondack peaks.
The soils of Long Island consist of stony loams and
sandy barns along the glacial moraines forming the
northern and central portions of the highland, while
the remainder of this area, sloping from the moraines
down to sea level, consists chiefly of barns, sandy
barns, and sands deposited as glacial outwash. All
of these soils are well fitted for market gardening and
the production of fruits. The eastern portion of the
state along the New England border, together with the
Adirondack Mountain mass, consists chiefly of glaciated crystalline rocks, large portions of the surface of
Which have been swept bare of all soil covering at the
greater altitudes and upon the steeper slopes, while the
.i.ncluded valleys and the gentler slopes are mantled
bY stony barns, barns, and sandy barns of glacial
origin.
Practically all of the southern portion of New York
state west of the Hudson River, together with a broad
belt surrounding the foothills of the Adirondacks, consists of the glaciated sandstones, shales, and limestones
f the Appalachian Plateau. The altitudes, aside from
°w"-1Ying valleys, range from about 1,000 feet to
aPProximately 2,200 feet above sea level. The upland
s?ils are principally stony barns and shale barns, with
waY barns or sandy barns of minor extent.
A small area in the southwestern portion of New
, k. state
a
ior
contains soils of the unglaciated Appal can Plateau.
lu
This area is rough, rugged, and
clefTlY dissected. The glacial lake deposits occupy all
of the
lower altitudes along Lakes Erie, Ontario, and
11`a111Plain, and form considerable borders along the
s7otilsLawrence, Mohawk, and Hudson Rivers. These
comprise heavy clays, clay loams, barns, sandy
loama, and gravelly barns
in great variety.

The two maps on the opposite page show, for the
different counties, the proportion of the total land area
which is in farms and the average value of farm land
per acre.
The percentage of land in farms varies widely in the
different counties, but the most common proportion is
from 90 to 95 per cent, that being the amount of land
in farms in 18 counties. These counties are mainly in
the center of the state and along the southern shore
of Lake Ontario. That proportion of land in farms
is exceeded by only 2 counties, Wyoming and Livingston, both of which have more than 95 per cent.
Sixteen counties have from 80 to 90 per cent of their
land in farms, and almost all of these are contiguous to
counties for which the proportion is from 90 to 95 per
cent. The counties having less than 80 per cent of
their land in farms include those on Long Island,
those along the western bank of the Hudson, with the
exception of Albany County, and those in the Adi:
rondack region.
For the state as a whole the average value of farm
land per acre is $32.13. In a large majority of the
counties the average value of farm land per acre is
from $10 to $25, while in no county is farm land
valued at less than $10 per acre. Most of the counties
showing an average of from $10 to $25 are located in
the eastern half of the state. In the western half 11
counties show an average of $25 to $50 per acre, 3 an
average of $50 to $75, while in 1, Monroe, it is between
$75 and $100. In 5 counties in the eastern half of the
state the average value is from $25 to $50, 2 of these
lying in the east central part and 3 in the southeastern
part. In the 6 counties in the southeastern corner of
the state which, as shown on the map,report an average value per acre of over $125, the average value of
land reported as used for agriculture is extremely high,
ranging from $298 in Westchester County to $2,591 in
Kings County. These exceptional values are due to
the fact that 4 of these counties lie within the boundaries of New York City, while the remaining 2 are
adjacent to that city.
Progress during the decade 1900 to 1910.—Between
1900 and 1910 the population of the state increased
25.4 per cent, while the number of farms decreased
4.9 per cent. During the same period the total farm
acreage and the acreage of improved land decreased,
the former 2.7 per cent and the latter 4.8 per
cent.
The total value of farm property, which includes that
of land, buildings, implements and machinery, and
live stock (domestic animals, poultry, and bees), is
$1,451,481,000, an increase of 35.7 per cent since 1900.
Land alone increased in value 28.4 per cent, compared
with an increase of 41.6 per cent in the value of build-

ings, 45.8 per cent in that of live stock, and 49.3 per
cent in that of implements and machinery. In considering the increase of values in agriculture the general
increase in the prices of all commodities in the last 10
years should be borne in mind. The average value of
all property per farm increased 42.7 per cent during

the decade. The average value per acre of land alone
rose from $24.34 in 1900 to $32.13 in 1910.
The following table summarizes for the state the
more significant facts relating to population and land
area, the number, value, and acreage of farms, and

During the last 60 years the population of the state
has increased continuously from 3,097,394 in 1850 to
9,113,614 in 1910, or nearly trebled. The increase was
remarkably uniform from 1850 to 1890, since which
time it has been more rapid, exceeding in two decades
the increase of the preceding four decades.
The number of farms is 215,597, compared with
226,720 in 1900, 226,223 in 1890, and 241,058 in 1880.
It may be noted that with the exception of the slight
increase between 1890 and 1900 the number has decreased since 1880. The decrease during the last dec-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

ade has been at the rate of 1,112 per year, compared
with a decrease of 1,484 per year between 1880 and
1890. In 1850 the number was 170,621; from then
until 1880 it increased continuously at a rate averaging
2,348 per year.
The land surface of New York is approximately
30,498,560 acres. Of this area,
22,030,367 acres, or
72.2 per cent, are included in farms,
compared with
74.3 per cent in 1900 and 72 per cent in
1890. Between
1850 and 1880 the farm acreage
constituted an increasing proportion of the total land area,
increasing from
62.7 per cent in 1850 to 78 per cent
in 1880.
The improved acreage has
decreased continuously
since 1880, being 14,844,039 in
1910, as compared with
15,599,986 acres in 1900, 16,389,380
acres in 1890, and
17,717,862 acres in 1880. During
the last decade the
improved acreage decreased
relatively more than
the total acreage; between 1890
and 1900 the total
acreage increased, notwithstanding
a decrease in improved acreage. Hence, for the
20 years the proportion improved has decreased, the
decrease being from
74.6 per cent in 1890 to 68.9 per
cent in 1900 and 67.4
per cent in 1910. For the first 30
years covered by the
table both the improved and the
total acreage increased
continuously, the improved from
12,408,964 in 1850
to 17,717,862 in 1880, and
the total acreage from
19,119,084 to 23,780,754.
Because of the greater
.
relative increase in the improved
than in the total
farm acreage, the proportion
improved, which was 64.9
per cent in 1850, had risen to
74.5 per cent in 1880.
Values of farm property: 1850

The total wealth of the state in the form of farm
Property increased continuously from $650,202,000 in
1850 to $1,216,638,000 in 1880, this increase resulting
from a steady gain in the value of each item, except
that in the decade 1870-1880 the value of live stock
declined from $140,706,000 to $117,868,000, or 16.2
Per cent. In the last 30 years the total value of farm
Property and the value of land and buildings have
fluctuated, decreasing in the two decades following
1880 and attaining their maximum proportions in the
last decade. The values of implements and machinery and of live stock have continuously advanced
during the last 30 years.
The proportion which land and buildings contributed to the total value continuously decreased
during the last 30 years, the decrease being from 86.8

The average value of a New York farm, including
equipment, is $6,732, compared with $4,718 in 1900
and $5,036 in 1890. The average value of land and
buildings per farm is $5,495, an increase of $1,578
since 1900, and a net increase of $1,215 since 1890.
The value of land and buildings per acre increased
from $29 in 1850 to $45.89 in 1870, from which time
it decreased steadily to $39.21 in 1900. In 1910, however, it attained its maximum figure, $53.78. The
average value per farm of farm equipment, which includes implements and machinery and live stock,
has more than doubled since 1850.

Prior to 1910 nonspecified tenants were included with cash tenants.

The number of all farms, and therefore of all farm
operators, is 215,597. Of the farm operators, 166,674
are classified as owners, 4,051 as managers, and 44,872
as tenants. Of the owners, 152,343 operate exclusively land owned by them, while 14,331 operate land
which they rent in addition to that which they own.
The farmers classified as tenants are further distributed according to the character of their tenure. Thus
23,086 are share tenants, 1,013 share-cash tenants,
18,519 cash tenants, while for 2,254 no report relative
to character of tenure was secured.

Farm mortgages: 1890 to 1910.
Census (1890) was the first to collect data relating to
mortgage debt on farms. The basis of the returns was
the "farm home" occupied by its owner. The same
class of information was secured by the population
schedules of the Twelfth Census (1900). The agricultural schedules of the Thirteenth Census (1910) secured practically the same information, except that
the basis was "owned farms" instead of "owned farm
homes"-a difference involving, however, no appreciable incomparability.
The following table relates to farms operated by
persons owning all or part of the land, and shows for
1910 (1) the number of such farms reported as free
from mortgage;(2) the number reported as mortgaged;
and (3) the number for which no mortgage reports were
secured. Comparable items are included for 1900 and

It will be seen that, in 1910, 71.8 per cent of all land
in farms was in farms operated by their owners (including part owners), 3.8 per cent in farms operated by
managers, and 24.4 per cent in farms operated by tenants, the percentages for owners and for managers
being higher and that for tenants lower than in 1900.
As shown by the table below, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (207 acres) was
very much greater than that of farms operated by
tenants (119.6 acres), which was in turn considerably
larger than that of farms operated by owners (94.9
acres). The average size of farms in each of the three
classes increased between 1900 and 1910, the increase
being most pronounced in farms operated by managers. In 1910 the percentage of farm land improved
was highest for farms operated by tenants, and lowest
for those operated by managers.

3 Per cent of combined total of "free from
mortgage" and "mortgaged."

In 1910 the total number of farms owned in whole
or in part by the operators was 166,674. Of this number, 93,118 were reported as free from mortgage;
72,311 were reported as mortgaged; and for 1,245 no'
report relative to mortgage indebtedness was obtained.
The number of mortgaged farms constituted 43.7 per
cent of the total number of owned farms, exclusive of
those for which no mortgage report was obtained.
The percentage is somewhat lower than it was in 1900,
and slightly lower than in 1890. It may be noted that
the percentages given for the three censuses are comparable, but that the number of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms reported in 1890 is not entirely comparable with the numbers reported at the later censuses
because at the census of 1890 the farms for which no
reports were secured were distributed
between the two
classes of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms. It can
be seen, however, that the number of mortgaged farms
is less in 1910 than in 1900 and 1890, and
that the number free of mortgage decreased between 1890
and 1900,
but increased during the last decade.
The statement of mortgage debt and of the value of
mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms of
those farmers who own all of their land and report the
amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. Of the
72,311 farms reported as mortgaged, 65,239 are wholly
owned by the farmers, and for 62,555 of these the
amount of mortgage debt is reported. Only these lastmentioned farms are included for 1910 in the next

table, which presents data relating to mortgaged farms
for 1910 and 1890. In this connection it should be
noted that in 1890 the amount of mortgage debt of
farms with incomplete reports was estimated according
to the percentages and averages obtained from farms
with full reports, but that no such estimate is here made
for 1910. The table gives a comparative statement of
the value of mortgaged farmstowned entirely by their
Operators and the amount of indebtedness, together
with the average value of such farms, the average debt
per farm, and the average equity per farm for 1910 and
1890. Data regarding the amount of mortgage debt
were not obtained in 1900.

The large decreases in these three groups were partially offset by an increase of 3,442, or 25 per cent,in the
"3 to 9 acres" group; considerably smaller increases
occurred in the "175 to 259 acres" group and in the
"260 to 499 acres" group. The "10 to 19 acres"
group decreased by 249, or 1.6 per cent, forming 7.2
per cent of the total number of farms in 1910. The
"500 to 999 acres" group and the "1,000 acres and
over" group each decreased by five farms during the
decade;these two groups together represented less than
1 per cent of the total number of farms both in 1910
and in 1900.
The number of places under 3 acres reported as
farms is less than one-half as great as it was 10 years
ago. This decrease may result from a different interpretation by the enumerators as to what constitutes a
small farm or may represent an actual decrease in that
type of farm. It may be noted that the farms of over
100 acres and those of from 3 to 19 acres constituted
a larger proportion of the total number of farms in
1910 than in 1900, and farms of from 20 to 99 acres a
smaller proportion.
The following table shows the total and improved
acreage and the value of land and buildings for farms
of various size groups,consolidating into one group the

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 35.4
per cent was in farms of 100 to 174 acres, and 34.3 per
cent in farms of 175 to 499 acres, those two being from
the standpoint of aggregate acreage the most important size groups. Between 1900 and 1910 there was

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

an increase in the proportion of the total acreage contained in farms in each size group of not less than 175
acres; and a decrease in the proportion in farms of
every smaller size group, except that of farms of less
than 20 acres, which remained the same.
In general, as shown by the table below, the percentage of farm land improved diminishes as the size
.
of the farms increases. For this reason and Eds()
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 generally diminishes with the increase in the
size of the farms; it is very much higher for the farms
under 20 acres in size than for those of any other
group. Many of the small farms in New York are
primarily places of residence of wealthy persons,
with expensive buildings, and many others are highly
improved truck farms.

Of the farmers in New York,87 per cent were native
whites and 12.5 per cent foreign-born whites. Only
939, or four-tenths of 1 per cent, were other than white,
635 being Indians, 295 negroes, 5 Japanese, and 4
Chinese. The proportion of tenancy was about the
same among the native white as among the foreignborn white farmers, being 21 per cent for the former,
as compared with 19.9 per cent for the latter.
Of the 27,029 foreign-born white farmers in New
York in 1910, 8,551 were born in Germany; 4,770 in
Ireland; 3,710 in England; 3,414 in Canada; 978 in
Holland; 917 in Russia; 825 in Italy; 785 in Sweden;
585 in Austria; 491 in Scotland; 424 in Switzerland;
404 in Wales; 308 in Denmark; and 291 in France.
Other European countries were represented by a total
of 520 farmers, and non-European countries, other
than Canada, by 56.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS, POULTRY, AND BEES.
-The census of
Domestic animals on farms: 1910.
1910 was taken as of April 15, and that of 1900 as of
June 1. Since a great many domestic animals are
born during the six weeks between April 15 and June
1, and on the other hand a considerable number of
older animals are slaughtered or die during the same
period, the numbers of the different classes of animals
for the two censuses are not closely comparable, and
the same is true in somewhat less degree of the values.
For this reason the figures for 1900 are not presented in
this chapter, but in the general reports of the census
the figures for the several states will be presented and
the extent to which their comparability is affected by
the change in the date of enumeration will be discussed.
The next table summarizes the statistics of domestic
animals for the state, recorded as of April 15, 1910.
Cattle and sheep are divided into age and sex groups,
while horses, mules, and swine are presented by age
groups only.
Of the total number of farms enumerated, 201,295,
or 93.4 per cent, report domestic animals of some kind,
the number without any domestic animals being
14,302.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Cattle are reported by 86.1 per cent of all farms.
"dairy cows" by 85.4 per cent, and "other cows" by
19.7 per cent. The average number of "dairy cows"
per farm reporting is over eight. The average value of
"dairy cows" increased from $32.43 to $45.78, and that
of "other cows" only from $24.31 to $27.01.
Although the number of cows increased 47,981, the
number of calves decreased 68,811, due largely to the
change in the date of enumeration. The census of
1900 was taken as of June 1, after all the spring calves
were born, while that 01 1910 was taken as of April 15,
before the close of the calving season and when the
calves on hand were on the average younger than at
the enumeration of 1900. In spite of the younger age
of the calves in 1910, their average value is $0.15
greater than in 1900. The number of heifers decreased 101,116 and the number of steers and bulls
51,440 during the decade.
Horses are reported by 86.5 per cent of all the farms
in the state, but only 9.5 per cent report colts born in
1909 and only 1.5 per cent spring colts. Tile average
value of mature horses is over one and three-fourths
that reported in 1900.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
Mules are reported by less than 1 per cent of the
farms, but the average value of mature mules is considerably higher than that of horses.
Sheep and lambs are reported from 24,854 farms,
or 11.5 per cent of all the farms in the state, wherea
s
in 1900 17.9 per cent of all farms reported sheep. Of
the farms reporting sheep and lambs, 73.4 per cent
report spring lambs, the number of the latter being
equal to 57 per cent of the number of ewes. This
Comparatively small proportion is doubtless due to the
early date of enumeration. Ewes are reported on all
but 751 of the farms reporting sheep, and for the farms
reporting the average is about 24 per farm. Those
reporting rams and -wethers show an average of only
about 4 per farm.
Of all farms, 49.8 per cent report swine and show an
average of 6 per farm reporting. On account of the
early date of enumeration only 19.3 per cent report
Spring pigs. The average value of the swine included
under the head of "hogs and pigs born before January
1, 1910," is $12.89.

The number of farms reporting poultry decreased from
206,389 to 193,141, or 6.4 per cent; thus the average
number of fowls per farm reporting increased from 45
to 55. Of the farms reporting poultry, all but 305
report chickens, the total number of the latter being
10,232,000 and their value $7,311,000. This value is
over nine-tenths of the value of all fowls. The value
of poultry and the number of farms reporting were
obtained in 1900 for the total of all fowls only, and
not for each kind as in 1910.

Domestic animals not on farms: 1910.
-Most of the
domestic animals not on farms are found in cities,
towns, and villages. Statistics for such animals are

products in 1909. That there should be this difference is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers
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 which made any report of milk
produced during 1909 was 132,204 (considerably less
than the total number reporting dairy products), and
the number of dairy cows on such farms on April 15,
1910, was 1,151,000. The amount of milk reported
was 597,363,000 gallons; assuming that there were the
same number of cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would
represent an average of 519 gallons per cow. In considering this average, however, it should be borne in
mind that the quantity of milk reported is probably

York on April 15, 1910, was 606,000, representing a
decrease of 38.4 per cent as compared with the number on June 1, 1900 (985,000). The approximate production of wool during 1909 was 616,000 fleeces,
Weighing 4,236,000 pounds, and valued at $1,164,000.
Of these totals about 7 per cent represents estimates.
The number of fleeces produced in 1909 was 40.7 per
cent less than in 1899. The average weight per fleece
in 1909 was 6.9 pounds, as compared with 6.4 pounds
in 1899, and the average value per pound was 27

1910, was 10,679,000. Of the 193,141 farms reporting fowls, 17,863 did not report any eggs produced
in 1909 and 26,707 did not report any poultry
raised in 1909. The production of eggs actually
reported for the year 1909 was 67,689,000 dozens,
valued at $16,000,000. According to the Twelfth
Census reports, the production of eggs in 1899 was
62,097,000 dozens, the value being $8,630,000. The
latter figures, however, are somewhat in excess of the
actual returns at that census, because they include
estimates made to cover those cases where the schedules reported fowls on hand without reporting the
production of eggs. In order to make the returns for
1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar
estimates have been made, the method of estimate
and the justification therefor being substantially the
same as in the case of wool. The total production cif
eggs in 1909, including these estimates, was 72,349,000
dozens, valued at $17,102,000. The total production
of poultry in 1909,'including estimates made on the
same basis as for eggs, was 13,981,000 fowls, valued at
$8,403,000.

by New York farmers during the year.1909, with certain items for 1899.
The total value of domestic animals sold during 1909
was $29,334,000, and that of animals slaughtered on
farms $9,928,000, making an aggregate of $39,261,000.
This total, however,involves considerable duplication,
resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals which
had been purchased by the farmers during the same
year. The value of cattle (including calves) sold during 1909 represented about 68 per cent of the total
value of animals sold.
, The census of 1900 called for the receipts from the
sale of all domestic animals raised on the farms
reporting and the total value of those slaughtered
during 1899, which amounted, respectively, to $15,026,000 and $8,320,000. The item of sales is not
dlosely comparable with that for 1909, when the inquiry
covered all sales whether of animals raised on the farms
reporting or elsewhere. It is believed, however, that
in many cases the returns for 1899 also included receipts from sales of animals not actually raised on
the farms reporting.

All of the cereals here noted show decreases in
acreage for the last decade. The fluctuations in the
acreages of corn and wheat are strikingly similar.
Both had their greatest acreage in 1879 and show a
large decrease for the decade 1879-1889, a substantial increase during the following decade, and a considerable decrease in the last 10 years, the acreage of
wheat falling off nearly 50 per cent.
The minimum acreage of oats and also of hay and
forage was reported in 1879 and the maximum in 1889,
since which time there has been a steady decrease.
The acreage of buckwheat has fluctuated, but not to
any considerable degree, the largest (291,228) having
been reported in 1879 and the smallest (280,029) 10
years later, while the acreage of 1899 was somewhat

larger than that reported for 1909. The acreage of
potatoes increased steadily at each census from 1879
to 1899, but was somewhat smaller in 1909 than at
the preceding census.
The following table shows for 1909 and 1899 the percentage which the farms reporting specified crops
represented of all farms, the percentage of improved
land devoted to these crops, and the percentage of increase or decrease in the acreage of each crop during
the decade, together with the average yields and
average values per acre for 1909.

Out of every 100 farms, 91 report hay and forage;
85, potatoes; 66, oats; 53, corn; 29, buckwheat; 16,
wheat; 9,rye; and 8, barley. With the exception of
that for buckwheat, all of these percentages are smaller
than in 1899.
The eight crops included in the above table cover
about 54 per cent of the totial acreage of improved land
in the state. Hay and forage occupied 34 per cent of
the total improved land in 1909, as compared with 33
per cent in 1899. Oats, hay and forage, and potatoes
show increases in the proportion of improved land occupied, and corn, wheat, barley, and rye decreases;
while the proportion for buckwheat remains the same.
During the decade the decrease in the total acreage of
the cereals was 522,616, or 16.7 per cent; and the decrease in that of hay and forage, 111,592, or 2.2 per
cent.
The average yield per acre of corn is exaggerated to
a slight extent, because some enumerators reported
baskets of ear corn as bushels of corn. On this account the figures here given may be revised in later
census reports.
The average value per acre of all cereals combined is
$16.56, corn and wheat being above this average, and
oats, barley, buckwheat, and rye below it. The average value per acre of hay and forage is slightly below
that of all cereals combined, and less than one-third as
great as that of potatoes.
Every county, with the exception of Washington,
shows a substantial decrease in the acreage of corn.
Nearly one-fourth of the acreage of this crop is reported
by a group of six counties situated slightly to the west
of the center of the state-Wayne, Cayuga, Monroe,
Onondaga, Ontario, and Seneca. The largest acreages
of oats are reported from the stretch of counties along
Lake Ontario and the St.. Lawrence River. Though


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

a slight but general decrease in the acreage of this crop
is shown for the state as a whole, more than one-fourth
of the counties-the greater number of which are
situated in the western half of the state-report increases. Marked decreases in the acreage of wheat are
reported by every county, with the insignificant exception of Richmond. The largest decreases occurred in
the western half of the state. Six counties-Monroe,
Genesee, Niagara, Orleans, Livingston, and Erie
forming a group in the northwestern corner of the
state, report more than one-half •the total acreage of
wheat. Buckwheat shows decreases in acreage as a
rule throughout the state. Increases, however, are
reported for an irregular stretch of counties extending
across the middle of the state, and in one county in
the northwestern part. Almost double the acreage of
buckwheat reported for any other countyis recorded for
Steuben. For rye, three counties-Albany, Columbia,
and Rensselaer-forming a group on the eastern boundary, report nearly one-third of the total acreage.
About one-eighth of the acreage of barley is reported
from Cayuga County. Three groups of counties report the principal decreases in the acreage of hay and
forage. One lies in the southwestern corner of the
state along Lake Erie; another extends in a narrow
belt across the state from about the middle of the
southern boundary line to Lake Ontario, then along
the St. Lawrence as far north as Franklin County;
and the third consists of the counties bordering the
Hudson. Nearly one-fourth of the total potato acreage is reported from five counties-Steuben, Monroe,
Ontario, Allegany, and Livingston-forming a row
across the middle of the western half of the state.
Nearly three-fifths of the acreage of dry edible beans
is reported from a group of four counties in the western
part of the state, comprising Orleans, Livingston,
Monroe, and Genesee. More than five-sixths of the
acreage of hops is shown for a group of four countiesSchoharie, Otsego, Oneida, and Madison-located in
the east central section of the state.
Vegetables, flowers and plants, and nursery products: 1909 and. 1899.
-The next table shows details
with regard to vegetables (not including potatoes and
sweet potatoes and yams, which appear elsewhere))
and also with regard to flowers and plants and nursel
products.
In 1909 the total acreage of potatoes and other
vegetables was 569,834, and their value $36,309,544
.
Excluding (so far as separately reported') potatoes
and sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables was 175,402 and their value $15,963,000, both
acreage and value being materially greater than in
1899. The table distinguishes between farms which
make the raising of vegetables a business of some hp'
portance (having produced vegetables valued at $500
or more in 1909) and other farms, on most of which

vegetables are raised only for home consumption.
There were, in 1909, 4,997 farms in the first class,
representing about one-third of the total acreage of
vegetables and about one-half of the total value, the
average acreage of vegetables per farm for these farms
being 11.8 and the average value of product per acre
$127.71.

on the whole a better index of the general changes
or tendencies than the quantity of product, but the
data for the censuses of 1910 and 1900 are not closely
comparable and the product is therefore compared,
although variations may be due largely to temporarily
favorable or unfavorable climatic conditions.

The total quantity of orchard fruits produced in 1909
was 29,456,000 bushels,valued at $17,989,000. Apples
contributed about six-sevenths of this quantity,peaches
and nectarines and pears most of the remainder. The
production of grapes in 1909 amounted to 253,006,000
pounds, valued at $3,962,000, and that of nuts to
2,774,000 pounds, valued at $74,000.
The production of all orchard fruits together in 1909
was 12.5 per cent greater than that in 1899, while the
production of grapes increased 2.1 per cent. The value
of orchard fruits increased from $10,542,000 in 1899 to
$17,989,000 in 1909, and that of grapes from $2,764,000
in 1899 to $3,962,000 in 1909. It should be noted
in this connection that the values for 1899 include the
value of more advanced products derived from orchard
fruits Or grapes, such as cider, vinegar, dried fruits,
and the like, and may therefore involve some duplication, while the values shown for 1909 relate only
to the products in their original condition.

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES,
AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of New York for the calendar year 1909, 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
whole and for a few important industries are classified
by- character of ownershi
p, size of establishments,
number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of
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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industri
es (1) for the state as a
Whole and (2) for the cities of Albany, Buffalo, New
York City (also by boroughs), Rochester, Schenectady,
Syracuse, Troy, Utica, and Yonkers. It also gives
the same
items for all industries combined for every
city and village, except Lackawanna, having in 1910
a population of over 10,000 but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
. cities having
9
50,000 inhabitants or more, for all
Industries
combined and selected industries, and for
, each city having from 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants
for all
industries combined.
Scope of census:
Factory industries.—Census statistics of manulactures are compiled primarily for the purpose
a
of showing the
bsolute and relative
magnitude of the different branches of IndusCovered and their growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort
inade to present data throwing light upon character of organization,
location
and similar of establishments, size of establishments, labor force,
subjects. When use is made of the data for these puri8 imperative that due attention should be given to the
' the figures. Particularly is this true when the
at.e tions of
InPt 15 made to derive from them figures purporting to show

tinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building
industries.
Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been
reduced to a
,comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes
of 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, or in governmental establishments, except
those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The returns cover the calendar
year 1909, or
the business year which corresponds most nearly
to that calends;
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 prodtict covered by this designation,
because
some part of this product may be made in establishments in
which
it is not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of
the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4) clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups: (1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and
(685)

686

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

managers, and clerks. In the present census an entirely different
grouping is employed: That into (1) proprietors and officials, (2)
clerks, and (3) wage earners. The first group includes proprietors
and firm members, salaried officers of corporations, and superintendents and managers.
At this census the number of persons engaged in the industries,
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
at; representing for most industries normal conditions of employment, but where conditions were exceptional, and particularly in
the case of certain seasonal industries, such as canning, 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 of wage earners the average is
obtained in the manner explained in the next paragraph.
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
4
each month, without distinction of sex or age. From these figures
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 perform 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 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.
In particular, totals by sex and age for the wage earners reported
for the representative day would be misleading because of the undue
weight given to seasonal industries, in some of which, such as canning and preserving, the distribution of the wage earners by sex
and age is materially different from that in most industries of more
regular operation. In order to determine as nearly as possible the
sex and age distribution of the average number of wage earners in
the state as a whole, the following procedure has been adopted:
The percentage distribution by sex and age of the wage earners
in each industry, for December 15, or the nearest representative
day, has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that
date. This percentage has been applied to the average number
of wage earners for the year in that industry, to determine the average number of men, women, and children employed. These calculated averages for the several industries have been added up to
give the average distribution for the state as a whole.
In 1899 and 1904 the schedule called for the average number of
wage earners of each sex 16 years and over, and,the total number
under 16 years of age, for each month, and these monthly statements were combined in an annual average. Comparatively few
manufacturing concerns, however, keep their books in such way as
to show readily the number of men, women,and children(under 16)
employed each month. These monthly returns by sex and age were,
in fact, largely estimates. It was believed that a more accurate and
reliable sex and age distribution could be secured by taking as a
basis of estimate the actual numbers employed on a single day.
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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

followed in each establishment. Occasional variations in hours in
an establishment from 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 earners 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 figures 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:
The 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 taken at the amounts
carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact
should be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or
buildings is owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should
be so stated and only the value of the owned property given. Do
not include securities and loans representing investments in other
enterprises.
Materials.—Cost of materials refers to the materials used during
the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased
during the year. The term materials 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, or power, or for the process of manufacture.
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, and allowances for depreciation.
Value of products.—The 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 during 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 manufacture.—The 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 is
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 different classes of industry is the value created P.
the result of the manufacturing 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 obtained is termed in the census reports "value added bY
manufacture."
There is a further statistical advantage which "value added"
has over gross value of products. In combining the value of prOdllett3 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
created. 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 01
profit on the investment could not properly be calculated, becauae
of the very defective character of the returns regarding capital.
Primary power.—The figures given for this item show the WO,
of the primary power used by the establishments. They do II°
cover the power developed by motors operated by such power
,
the inclusion of which would evidently result in duplication.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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.

Laundries.—The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using
mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are not
included in the general total for manufacturing industries.
Custom sawmills and gristmills.—Iii order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those for 1904 the data for these mills have
been excluded from all the tables presenting general statistics.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.—New York, with a
gross area of 49,204 square miles, of which 1,550 square
miles represent water surface,ranks twenty-ninth in size
among the states of the Union. Its population in 1910
was 9,113,614, as compared with 7,268,894 in 1900 and
6,003,174 in 1890. It has ranked first among the
states and territories as regards population since
1820. In density of population New York is the fifth
state in the Union, having 191.2 persons per square
mile in 1910, the corresponding figure for 1900 being
152.5. Seventy-eight and eight-tenths per cent of
the entire population of the state in 1910 resided in
incorporated places having a population of 2,500
or over, as against 72.9 per cent in 1900.
In 1910 the following 9 cities in the state had a population of over 50,000: New York City, 4,766,883; Buffalo
423,715; Rochester, 218,149; Syracuse, 137,249; Albany
100,253; Yonkers,
79,803; Troy, 76,813; Utica, 74,419;
and Schenectady, 72,826. There were also 42 cities
and villages having a population of over 10,000 but less
than 50,000.1 The 51 cities and villages having more
than 10,000
inhabitants contained 74.3 per cent of the
total population of the state, while only 4.5 per cent
resided in incorporated places having between 2,500
and 10,000 inhabitants.
The geographic position and topography of New
York, as well as the abundant natural wealth of its
fields, forests, mines,
and quarries, have contributed
to its
industrial development and have been instrumental in making it the leading manufacturing state
of the Union. The Mohawk, upper Hudson, Black,
and Genesee Rivers and Niagara Falls furnish the
major part of the water power, which, either directly
or through
the agency of transmitted electric current,
erves a large percentage of the manufacturing establishments of the state. The Hudson River, the Erie
Canal, connecting Lake Erie with the Hudson River,
arid a system
of canals which connect Lake Ontario

these waterways or on the connecting waterways which
border the state. The 8,448 miles 2 of steam-railway
trackage within the state also afford excellent transportation facilities.
Importance and growth of manufactures.—Although
New York has important interests in agriculture and
mining, its predominance is most marked in manufacturing. Since the completion of the Erie Canal in
1825, New York has held the foremost rank in this
respect, though since 1849, when the first authoritative census of manufactures was taken, the proportion
which the state has contributed to the total value of
manufactured products in the entire United States
has decreased somewhat. This proportion was 23.3
per cent in 1849 and only 16.3 per cent in 1909.
In 1849 the total value of the manufactured products
of New York, including those of the neighborhood and
hand industries, amounted to $237,597,249, while in
1909,exclusive of the value of the products of the neighborhood and hand industries, it reached a total of
$3,369,490,.192, or more than fourteen times that in
1849. During the same period the population of the
state increased 194.2 per cent. In 1849 an average of
199,349 wage earners, representing 6.4 per cent of the
total population were employed in manufactures, while
in 1909 an average of 1,003,981 wage earners, or 11 per
cent of the total population, were so engaged. During
this period the gross value of products per capita of
the total population of the state increased from $77 to
$370.
The table on page 688 gives the most important
figures relative to all classes of manufactures combined
for 199, 1904, and 1899, together with the percentages
of increase from census to census.
In 1909 the state of New York had 44,935 manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to an
average of 1,203,241 persons during the year and paid
out $743,263,000 in salaries and wages. Of the persons
employed, 1,003,981 were wage earners. These establishments turned out products to the value of
$3,369,490,000, to produce which materials costing
$1,856,904,000 were utilized. The value added by
manufacture was thus $1,512,586,000, which figure, as
explained in the Introduction, best represents the net
wealth created by manufacturing operations during the
year. ,
The totals presented in the table on page 688 do notinclude the statistics for five establishments operated by
2 Interstate Commerce Commission, Statistics of Railways in the
United States, 1909.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

688

-the United States Naval
the Federal Government
Clothing Factory and the United States navy yard at
Brooklyn, the United States Lighthouse Establishment at Tompkinsville, the Watervliet Arsenal, and
the West Point gas plant. In 1909 these plants employed an average of 4,095 wage earners and reported
products valued at $9,330,918.
In general, this table shows that the manufacturing
industries of IsT.ew York as a whole developed at about
the same rate during each of the two five-year periods
covered by the table. The earlier five-year period,
1899-1904, shows the larger percentages of increase in
value added by manufacture and in number of wage

earners, but the later period, 1904-1909, shows the
greater gains in number of establishments and in value
of products. During this latter period the number of
establishments increased 20.8 per cent and the average
number of wage earners 17.2 per cent, while the value
of products increased 35.4 per cent and the value added
by manufacture 32.7 per cent.
As pointed out in the Introduction, it would be improper to infer that manufactures increased in volume
to the full extent indicated by these figures relating to
values, since the increase shown is certainly due, in
part, to the increase that has taken place in the prices
of commodities.

turing industries in the state, whereas in
1904, with
138,952 wage earners and $360,957,000 as the value
of
products, the corresponding proportions were 16.2 per
cent and 14.5 per cent, respectively. The increase
in
the value of clothing manufact
ured in New York from
1904 to 1909 was $177,636,000, or
49.2 per cent, and
that from 1899 to 1904 was $105,221,
000, or 41.1 per
cent, percentages which were greater than those for
all manufacturing industries in the state combined.
The manufacture of clothing under the factory system
in New York began about 1835, but the early development of the industry was associated particularly with
the invention of the
sewing machine about 1846. In
1849 there were 976 establishments in the state manufacturing ready-made clothing, which gave employment to an average of 41,071 wage earners ania turned
out products valued
at $16,008,000. The introduction about 1870 of the cutting machine, by which
many garments could be
cut at one operation, had a
stimulating
effect upon this industry. At the census
of 1889, when the first attempt was made to segregate
the statistics for establishments manufacturing clothing
under the factory system from establishments doing
custom tailoring and dressmaking, there were 3,843
establishments
in which ready-made clothing was
Manufactured, which
employed an average of 96,822
Wage earners and turned out products valued at
$159,452,000.
The value of products of the clothing industries in
New York has
not only increased remarkably during
the last 20 years, but
at each succeeding census it has
formed a greater proportion of the aggregate value
reported for the clothing industries in the United
States, this proportion being 45.2 per cent in 1889 and
56 5 per cent in 1909. Measured by value of products,
.
the Women's clothing branch shows the greatest progress, surpassing the men's clothing branch in this
respect for the first time in 1909. The total value of
Products for the former branch was $45,087,000 in
1889 $106,892,000 in 1899, and $272,518,000 in 1909,
,
an
increase of $61,805,000, or 137.1 per cent, from
1889 to 1899,

of the total number shown for all manufacturing industries, and in value added by manufacture, with
$160,452,000, or 10.6 per cent of the state total.
Although the proportions shown for wage earners (6.3
per cent) and value of products (6.4 per cent) were not
so great, decided increases occurred in both of these
items during each five-year period, the gains
during
the more recent period, 1904-1909, being 9,684, or 18.1
per cent, and $52,112,000, or 31.6 per cent, respectively.
Textiles.—The textile industries of New York—
comprising the manufacture of hosiery and knit goods;
silk and silk goods; carpets and rugs, other than rag;
woolen, worsted, and felt goods, and wool hats; cotton
goods, including cotton small wares; cordage and twine
and jute and linen goods; and fur-felt hats—considered as a unit, rank high among the manufacturing
industries of the state when measured by value of
products. Combined, the seven allied branches gave
employment in 1909 to an average of 91,839 wage
earners and manufactured products to the value of
$185,780,000, these figures representing increases over
1904 of 11,233, or 13.9 per cent, in the number of wage
earners and of $43,358,000, or 30.4 per cent, in value
of products. In 1909 the textile industries employed
9.1 per cent of the total number of wage earners engaged in the manufacturing industries of the
state, and
contributed 5.5 per cent of the total value of manufactured products. The corresponding proportions
for 1904 were 9.4 per cent and 5.7 per cent, respectively. New York was the third state in the Union
in the production of all textiles combined, of silk and
silk goods, and of fur-felt hats, first in the manufacture
of hosiery and knit goods and of carpets and rugs,
other than rag, and second in that of cordage and
twine and jute and linen goods. It ranked fifth in the
production of woolen, worsted, and felt goods, and
wool hats, and eleventh in that of cotton goods, including cotton small wares.
Foundry and machine-shop products.—All foundries
and machine shops except those which manufacture a
distinctive product covered by some other designation,
such as agricultural implements, cash registers and
calculating machines, sewing machines and attachments, or electrical machinery, are included in this
classification. Establishments engaged in the manufacture of bells, gas machines and gas and water
meters, hardware, cast-iron and cast-steel pipe, plumbers' supplies, steam fittings and heating apparatus,
and structural ironwork,the majority of which were reported under separate classifications at previous censuses, are included in this industry. A number of the
most important establishments are engaged in the
manufacture of typesetting machines, steam-heating
apparatus, electric elevators, locomotive, tender, and
car brakes,metal-working machinery,pumpsand pumping machinery, and structural ironwork. Although
the industry was practically at a standstill from
1899 to 1904, the value of products increased from

692

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

$127,915,000 in 1904 to $154,370,000 in 1909, or 20.7
per cent. New York was the second state of the
Union in this industry at all three censuses.
Slaughtering and meat packing.—This classification
includes establishments doing wholesale slaughtering
and meat packing, and those engaged in the manufacture of sausage only. It does not include the numerous retail butcher shops, which slaughter a large number of animals. The value of products for this industry
in New York increased from $58,403,000 in 1899 to
$75,550,000 in 1904 and $127,130,000 in 1909, when
the total was $68,727,000, or 117.7 per cent, greater
than in 1899. The percentage of increase during the
five-year period 1904-1909 in value of products was
more than twice, and in value added by manufacture
more than four times as great, as during the preceding
five-year period, 1899-1904. Of the 238 establishments reported for the industry as a whole in 1909, 76
were engaged in whole§ale slaughtering only,74 in both
wholesale slaughtering and wholesale meat packing,
and 88 in the manufacture of sausage only, the value
of the output of these three branches representing 51.2
per cent, 47.2 per cent, and 1.6 per cent, respectively,
of the total for the combined industry. For the last
three censuses, New York has ranked third among the
states in this industry.
Liquors.—The manufacture of malt, distilled, and
vinous liquors forms a very important group of industries in New York. The value of the combined output
for 1909 can not be given, however, because the statistics for the distilled-liquor industry can not be preof
sented separately without disclosing the operations
establishments. The manufacture of malt
individual
liquors was by far the most important of the three
industries comprising this group. The total output of
an
this industry in 1909 was valued at $77,720,000,
or 25.4 per cent,
increase over 1904 of $15,762,000,
which was considerably more than double the gain for
the preceding five-year period. The figures for both
value of products and value added by manufacture in
the case of the brewery industry include $12,666,000
paid to the Federal Government as internal-revenue
tax, and are therefore to that extent misleading as an
indication of the relative importance of this industry
from a purely manufacturing standpoint. The distilled-liquor industry shows a substantial increase from
1904 to 1909 in all items covered in the preceding
table except number of establishments, which decreased from 18 to 13. The value of products for the
vinous-liquor industry, the least important of the
liquor group, was $1,817,000 in 1909, representing a
decrease of $432,000, or 19.2 per cent, as compared
with 1904. At the census of 1909 New York ranked
first among the states of the Union in the manufacture
of malt liquors, sixth in that of distilled liquors, and
second in that of vinous liquors.
Tobacco manufactures.—While this designation covers in general the manufacture of cigars, cigarettes,
chewing and smoking tobacco, and snuff, the industry
in New York was confined largely to the manufacture of


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

cigars and cigarettes, 3,284 of the 3,371 establishments
reported in 1909 being engaged in this branch, the
value of the output of such establishments representing
98 per cent of the totalfor the industry. The total value
of tobacco manufactures for New York in 1909 was
$76,662,000, an increase over 1904 of $11,065,000, or
16.9 per cent, whereas from 1899 to 1904 the gain was
$11,936,000,or 22.2 per cent. NeviYork leads all other
states of the Union in this industry.
Lumber and timber products.—This classification
includeslogging operations,sawmills,planing mills,and
establishments engaged in the manufacture of wooden
packing boxes. It does not include those mills, however, which are engaged exclusively in custom sawing
for local consumption,the statisticsfor which are shown
separately on page 737. This industry in the state in
1909 was represented by 674 independent planing mills,
1;389 sawmills and logging plants,and 200 packing-box
factories, which reported 65.9 per cent, 20.7 per cent,
and 13.4 per cent, respectively, of the total value of
products for the industry. The corresponding percentagesfor 1899 were 56.4, 28.7,and 14.9,respectively.
The value of the output of the sawmills and logging
plants of the state was $15,131,000 in 1899, $13,310,000
in 1904, and $15,036,000 in 1909. The industry as
a whole shows an increase in value of products from
$52,738,000 in 1899 to $61,677,000 in 1904 and to
$72,530,000 in 1909, an increase for the decade of
$19,792,000, or 37.5 per cent, and for the more recent
five-year period, of $10,853,000, or 17.6 per cent. It is
apparent, therefore, that the growth of the entire
industry was due very largely to the increase in the
production of the planing mills. Measured by value
of products, New York ranked second in 1909 among
the states of the Union in the lumber industry.
Flour-mill and gristmill products.—The statistics for
all merchant mills grinding wheat, rye, buckwheat,
corn, or other grains are included in this classification. It does not, however, include factories making
fancy cereals or other food preparations as a chief
product, or mills doing custom grinding exclusivelly
the statistics for the latter mills being presented separately on page 737. This is one of the oldest industries in the state, probably dating from the latter
part of the seventeenth century. It is said that the
first gristmill in America was a horsepower mill located
on the island of Manhattan. The industry developed
gradually, but was especially prosperous during the
years immediately following the opening of the Ern
Canal in 1825, which greatly extended the sources oi
grain supplyfor the state. New York led all other states
of the Union in the milling industry until 1889, Si
when it has held second place, having been displace°
by Minnesota. The total value of flour-mill and grist000
mill products reported for New York was $35,930,
in 1899 and $69,802,000 in 1909, representing 7.2 Per
cent and 7.9 per cent, respectively, of the total value
of such products reported for the United States fer
these two Census years.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
Iron and steel, steel works and rolling mills and blast
furnaces.—Combined, these two allied industries gave
employment in 1909 to an average of 12,389 wage
earners, and the value of their products amounted to
$66,153,000. These figures represent increases over
1899 of 6,971, or 128.7 per cent, in number of wage
earners, and $52,295,000, or 377.4 per cent, in value of
Products. The classification "Steel works and rolling
mills" includes establishments engaged in the manufacture of steel or the hot rolling of iron and steel. It
also includes the making of forgings and castings and
the manufacture of rolled iron and steel into more
highly finished forms when conducted as a part of the
rolling-mill operations, as well as the few extant forges
and bloomeries. It does not, however, include the
making of cold-rolled products, nor of forgings, castings, and manufactures of iron and steel by establishments not equipped with steel-making furnaces or hot
trains of rolls. The output of the steel works and
rolling mills in 1909 was valued at $39,532,000, representing an increase over 1904 of $18,305,000, or 86.2
per cent. This gain, although pronounced, was not
SO great relatively as the increase of $12,415,000, or
140.9 per cent,shown for the preceding five-year period.
he blast furnaces include the establishments engaged
In the manufacture of pig iron from the ore. In 1909
the products of the blast furnaces were valued at
$26,621,000, showing the remarkable gain over 1904
of $17,986,000, or 208.3 per cent. Measured by value
of products, New York ranked fourth in the manufacture of iron and steel and in each of the two branches
in 1909.

T

Millinery and lace goods.—This industry includes all
establishments engaged primarily in the manufacture
of muslin
and lace curtains; dress, cloak, and millinery
trimmings; embroideries and crocheted goods; hat
and bonnet frames; ladies' belts, collars, neckwear,
and handkerchiefs; hats, trimmed and untrimmed;
veies;pleating and puffs; ruching and ruffing; and
ac hiigs. In
1909 the value of products was $52,106,000, as
compared with $32,844,000 in 1904, a gain
el 19,262,000, or 58.6 per cent, for the five-year
Period. The relative gain in this respect from 1899
10 1904
was slightly less, but the actual increase was
°lily a little over one-half as great. New York led all
other states of the Union in this industry, and of the
jaggregate value of millinery and lace goods produced
_11 the United States, New York contributed 60.7 per
.eat in 1909,
e
64.7 per cent in 1904, and 71.4 per cent
in 1899.
e Electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies.—The
,:ccePtionaily rapid extension during recent years of
9se of electricity has created a demand for electrical
sPPllanoes. The industry in New York, therefore,
,,mws
decided development during the past decade,
ttt 'value of
ise
products increasing from $22,695,000 in
_, . to $49,290,000 in 1909. Although New York

the proportion which it contributed of the total
value of products for the industry in the United States,
which increased from 24.6 per cent in 1899 to 25.1 per
cent in 1904, decreased to 22.3 per cent in 1909.
Paper and wood pulp.—Mills which manufacture
paper exclusively, pulp exclusively, or both paper and
pulp are included in this classification. The mills engaged in the production of paper predominated largely
in New York in 1909. In 1849 there were 106 establishments reported for the state, which employed an
average of 1,267 wage earners and manufactured
products valued at $1,638,579. The growth of the
industry since that time has been rapid, but during
the decade 1899-1909 it was particularly noteworthy,
the value of products increasing from $26,716,000 in
1899 to $48,860,000 in 1909, a gain of $22,144,000, or
82.9 per cent. Although the actual gain in this respect
for the 10 years was about equally divided between
the two five-year periods, the percentage of increase
from 1904 to 1909 (29.4) was considerably less than
that from 1899 to 1904 (41.3). New York led all other
states in this industry at the last three censuses, the
value of the output for the state forming 18.3 per cent
of the total for the United States in 1909, 20 per cent
in 1904, and 21 per cent in 1899.
Boots and shoes, including cut stock and findings.—
Of the 296 establishments in the state included in this
classification in 1909, 21 were engaged primarily in the
manufacture of boot and shoe cut stock, 56 in the production of boot and shoe fuTdings, and 219 in the
manufactuk of boots and shoes. There is some overlapping of these three branches which makes it desirable to combine them in presenting the statistics.
With products valued at $28,117,000 in 1899 and
$37,521,000 in 1904, New York held second place at
both censuses among the states of the Union, but in
1909, when products valued at $48,186,000 were reported,it had dropped to third place. The proportions
which New York contributed of the total value of
products for the industry in the United States in the
respective years were, however, comparatively small,
owing to the fact that the state first in rank manufactured so large a percentage of the products as to dwarf,
in a measure, all others. These proportions were 9.4
per cent in 1909, 10.5 per cent in 1904, and 9.7 per cent
in 1899.
Butter, cheese, and condensed milk.—Of the 1,552 establishments included in this industry in 1909, 426 were
engaged primarily in the manufacture of butter, 1,090
in the manufacture of cheese, and 36 in the manufacture of condensed milk, the value of the output of
these three branches representing 41 per cent, 35.6 per
cent, and 23.4 per cent,srespectively, of the total for
the entire industry. Of the 1,766 establishments
reported for 1904, 543 manufactured butter as a
chief product, 1,198 cheese, and 25 condensed milk,
and the proportions which each class of establishments contributed of the total value of products

36.7 per cent, and 22.1 per cent, respectively. The
number of establishments in the butter and cheese
branches of the industry decreased during the fiveyear period 1904-1909, but the value of products
for each of the three branches increased, the condensed-milk branch making the greatest relative gain.
The value of products for the industry as a whole in
New York increased from $26,558,000 in 1899 to
$42,458,000 in 1909, a gain of 59.9 per cent. As measured by value of products, New York was the leading
state of the Union in this industry in 1899 and in 1904,
but dropped to second place in 1909, having been
displaced by Wisconsin. The proportion which New
York contributed of the total value of products for
the industry in the United States decreased during the
decade, being 20.3 per cent in 1899, 18.5 per cent in
1904, and 15.5 per cent in 1909.
Ga,s, illuminating and heating.—This industry includes all establishments engaged in the manufacture
of gas for illuminating or heating purposes from coal,
coke, oil, benzine, gasoline, or calcium carbide, or
from a combination of two or more of these materials. The industry in New York dates from about
1823, when lighting by gas was introduced into New
York City. The industry as a whole did not, however, receive its first real impetus until 1873, when
the Lowe process for the manufacture of water gas
was introduced. The total value of gas manufactured for sale in New York was $8,513,000 in 1869,
$18,717,000 in 1889, and $42,347,000 in' 1909. Of
the total quantity of all classes of gas manufactured
in the state in 1909, namely, 45,768,354,000 cubic
feet, 75.9 per cent was carbureted water gas, 10.1
.
per cent mixed coal and water gas, and 13.7 per cent
coal gas. New York held first rank in the manufacture of illuminating and heating gas at the last time
censuses, reporting 25.4 per cent of the total value
of products for the industry in the United States in
1909, 28.2 per cent in 1904, and 27.6 per cent in 1899.
--The 375 establishments
Furnishing goods, men's.
reported for this industry in the state in 1909 included,
in addition to 241 engaged primarily in the manufacture of a general line of men's furnishings, such as
neckwear, belts, and handkerchiefs, 100 which manufactured suspenders, garters, and elastic woven goods
as their leading products and 34 which made collars
and cuffs. Of the value of products reported for the
entire industry in 1909, $15,897,000 represented the
value of collars and cuffs, constituting 92.3 per cent of
the total value of collars and cuffs manufactured in
the United States. The value of products for the
industry as a whole increastd from $29,337,000 in
1904 to $42,197,000 in 1909, the proportions which
these figures represented of the corresponding totals
for the industry in the United States being 59.8 per
cent and 48.1 per cent, respectively. New York not
only outranked all other states in the industry as a

unit, but also in each of the three branches except the
manufacture of suspenders, garters, and elastic woven
goods, in which it ranked second.
Furniture and refrigerators.—This industry embraces
the manufacture of wood and metal furniture of all
kinds, refrigerators and ice boxes, and store and
office fixtures, with the exception of products such as
show cases, which are provided for by a distinct classification. This industry ranks eleventh among those
shown separately in the preceding table in average
number of wage earners, thirteenth in value added by
manufacture, and nineteenth in value of products.
The value of the output of the furniture and refrigerator
factories of New York increased from $24,658,000 in
1899 to $29,326,000 in 1904 and $41,929,000 in 1909,
which figures represented 18.9 per cent, 16.5 per cent,
and 17.5 per cent of the respective totals for the United
States. For several decades New York has led all
other states in this industry.
Fur goods.—Those establishments engaged primarily'
in the manufacture of garments in which fur is the
chief material,such as coats,cloaks,capes,muffs,scarfs,
and robes, and gloves, mittens, and trimmings, are included in this classification. It does not include establishments engaged mainly in tanning and dyeing skins
with the fur on. The value of products increased
from $15,829,000 in 1899 to $26,244,000 in 1904 and
$41,301,000 in 1909. New York outranked all other
states at each of the three censuses in the manufact
ure
of fur goods, the value of its output
constituting 73.8
per cent of the total for the United
States in 1909,
70.7 per cent in 1904, and 61.1 per cent
in 1899.
Copper, tin, and sheet-iron products.—This classification comprises the manufacture of
sheet-metal
products of copper, tin, and sheet iron, includin the
g
preparation of copper, tin, and sheet-iron material for
building construction. The 686 establishments reported for this industry in 1909 included 61 in which
stamped and enameled ware was manufact
ured and 69
in which tinware was produced
. The value of the
stamped and enameled ware was $13,140,000, and
that of tinware was $10,386,000,
which amounts represent 34.2 per cent and 27 per cent, respectively, of
the total value of products for
the industry. New
York ranked first among the
states of the Union in
the manufacture of copper,
tin, and sheet-iron products at each of the three censuses,
with $38,452,000 as
the total value of such products
in 1909, $27,314,000 in
1904, and $19,287,000 in
1899.
Patent medicines and compounds
and druggist?
preparations.—Under this head are included the manufacture of so-called patent
medicines, and of some
compounds that are not used for
medicinal purposes,
and also the manufacture of
capsules, extracts,
and other pharmaceuticals, and
tineurs,
of perfumery
and cosmetics. Of the 743
establishments reported in
1909, 509 were engaged primarily
in the manufacture
of patent medicines and
compounds, the value 0f

Which represented 56.6 per cent of the total for the
industry. New York led all other states of the Union
It' the industry as a whole at each of the last three
censuses, the total output being valued at $37,343,000
in 1909, $28,646,000 in 1904, and $26,538,000 in 1899.
Chemicals.
-This industry includes the manufacture
of acids (except sulphuric, nitric, and mixed acids, for
Which there is a separate classification), sodas, potashes, alums, coal-tar products, cyanides, bleaching
materials, plastics, compressed or liquefied gases, alkaloids, gold, silver, and platinum salts, chloroform,
ether, glycerin, Epsom salts, copperas, blue vitriol, and
other bases and salts, when they are made as a chief
product by the establishment reporting. It does not
include, however, the manufacture of chemicals as byproducts in establishments classified in the census reports under a different head. In the production of
chemicals New York held first rank among the states
at each of the last three censuses, the value of its output constituting 30 per cent of the total for the United
States in 1909, 30.6 per cent in 1904, and 25.5 per cent
in 1899. The total value of products of the chemical
Industry in New York in 1909 was $35,346,000, an increase over 1904 of $12,324,000, or 53.5 per cent, and
over 1899 of $19,352,000, or 121 per cent.
Musical instruments, pianos and organs and mate8
rial .-Of the 184 establishments included in this
c
lassification in 1909, 117 were engaged primarily in
the manufacture of pianos, 19 in the manufacture of organs, and 48 in the manufacture of piano and organ
materials. The output of the piano establishments
represented 79.1 per cent of the $33,680,000 reported
as the total value of products for the industry as a
Whole. At each of the last three censuses New
York outranked all other states of the Union in the
Ixanufacture of pianos and organs and materials, contributing 37.5 per cent of the total value of the output

so interwoven with such industries as the foundry and
machine-shop industry and the manufacture of rubber
goods, electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies,
and brass and bronze products that it is impossible to
determine to what extent the statistics presented
under this head cover the actual production of parts
and accessories.
Manufactures from precious metals.
-The manufacture of jewelry is allied closely with the production of
silverware and plated ware, and the reduction and
refining of gold and silver from clippings, sweepings,
and scrap. In 1909 these three industries combined
employed an average of 8,486 wage earners and turned
out products valued at $30,825,000.
Paint and varnish.
-Of the 147 establishments included in this classification in 1909, 104 were engaged
primarily in the manufacture of paint, with products
valued at $20,557,000, representing 72 per cent of the
total for the industry as a whole. The value of paint
and varnish manufactured in New York was $25,121,000
in 1904 and $28,559,000 in 1909, an increase of $3,438,000,or 13.7 per cent,for the five-year period. In value
of products New York led all other states in this industry at each of the last three censuses, reporting 22.9
per cent of the total for the United States in 1909, as
compared with 27.7 per cent in 1904 and 27.1 per cent
in 1899.
Leather, tanned, curried, and finished.
-Establishments which were engaged primarily in the manufacture
of leather,as well as those which treated hides and skins
for others, are included in this classification. The cost
of materials and the value of products, however, do
not include the value of the hides or skins treated for
others under contract. New York ranked third among
the states in the manufacture of leather in 1899, with
a value of products amounting to $23,206,000. In
1904, however, the value of products had decreased to
$21,643,000 and the state fell to fourth place, while
in 1909, though the value of the products increased to
$27,642,000, the state had dropped to fifth place.
In 14 of the less important industries shown separately in the table, New York led all other states of the
Union in value of products in 1909 and contributed
more than half of the value of products reported for each
in the United States. These industries, together with
the percentages of the value of products contributed by
the state, were as follows: Lapidary work, 94.4; artificial flowers and feathers and plumes, 88.2; photographic apparatus and materials,83.2; paper patterns,
83; hair work, 70.1; pens, fountain,stylographic, and
gold, 67.9; cloth,sponging and refinishing,66.7; gloves
and mittens, leather, 60.7; pipes, tobacco, 60.5; hats
and caps, other than felt, straw, and wool, 57.2; jewelry and instrument cases, 57.1; candles, 53.4; typewriters and supplies, 52.2; furs, dressed, 51.9.
It will be seen from the table on page 689 that some
of the industries that hold a very high rank in the gross
value of products rank comparatively low in the number of wage earners employed and in value added by

696

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

manufacture. Where this is the case, it indicates that
the cost of materials represents a large proportion of
the total value of products, and that therefore the value
added by manufacture, of which wages constitute
usually the largest item, is only a small proportion of
the total value of products. Thus the slaughtering and
meat-packing industry, which ranks fifth in gross value
of products, and the flour-mill and gristmill industry,
which ranks tenth in that respect, rank comparatively low with regard to number of wage earners
and value added by manufacture. Other important
industries which rank much higher in gross value of
products than in the number of wage earners or the
value added by manufacture are the butter, cheese,
and condensed-milk industry; the tanning, currying,
and finishing of leather; the blast furnaces; the roasting and grinding of coffee and spice; and the manufacture of linseed oil.
On the other hand, there are several industries the
rank of which according to the number of wage earners
or the value added by manufacture is considerably
higher than the rank according to the value of products; in other words, the cost of materials is relatively
a smaller part of the total value of products for these
industries than for most others. Among the important
industries of this class are the manufacture of furniture
and refrigerators, the steam-railroad repair shops, and
marble and stone work. Four of the textile industries—the manufacture of hosiery and knit goods, silk
goods, carpets and rugs, and cotton goods—also rank
much higher in number of wage earners, and somewhat
higher in value added by manufacture, than in value of
products.
The table on page 689 shows very great differences
among the several industries with respect to the percentages of increase or decrease in the value of products
and the value added by manufacture,although the great
majority of the industries show an increase in both items
for each of the five-year periods. The reduction and
refining of gold and silver from,sweepings, clippings,
and scrap, however, shows a decrease in value of
products for both five-year periods, while 13 other
industries show decreases from 1904 to 1909 and
15 decreases from 1899 to 1904. None of the industries presented separately in the table show decreases
in value added by manufacture for both five-year
periods, but 16 show decreases from 1904 to 1909,
and 14 show decreases from 1899 to 1904. Of the
58 industries for which products valued at more than
$10,000,000 were reported in 1909, two—the manufacture of carriages and wagons and of cordage and
twine and jute and linen goods—show decreases in both
value of products and value added by manufacture
since 1904, while one other—the roasting and grinding
of coffee and spice—shows a decrease in value of
products.
The manufacture of emery and other abrasive wheels
shows the highest percentage of increase in both value


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

of products and value added by manufacture between
1904 and 1909, the gross value of the products of this
industry being nearly thirty-five times as great in 1909
as in 1904 and the value added by manufacture over
twenty-seven times as great. Other industries which
show exceptionally large increases during the same fiveyear period in bothitems are the hair-work and the automobile industries, the manufacture of artificial flowers
and feathers and plumes, the blast furnaces, and the
manufacture of corsets, in which the value of products
in 1909 was from three to seven times that in 1904.
The manufacture of lead bars, lead pipe, and sheet lead
shows the largest relative decrease in value of products
for this period, 37 percent, and the manufacture of
dentists' materials the largest in value added by manufacture, 42.1 per cent.
Of the 12 industries shown in the table for which
products valued at more than $50,000,000 were
• reported in 1909, five—the making of men's clothing,
the foundries and machine shops,the brewery industry,
slaughtering and meat packing, and the manufacture
of hosiery and knit goods—show greater percentages
of increase in both value of products and value added
by manufacture for the five-year period 1904-1909
than for the period 1899-1904.

following table shows, for 1909, the distribution of

prevail to some extent in the bakery industry, in
canning and preserving, in the manufacture of carriages and wagons,fur goods,and patent medicines and
compounds and druggists' preparations, in marble and
stone work, and in tobacco manufactures, where the
proportions of proprietors and officials ranged from
15.6 per cent to 11.8 per cent of the total number of
persons engaged in each industry. On account of the
large average number of wage earners employed in the
establishments manufacturing carpets and rugs, cordage and twine, and cotton goods, and in the blast
furnaces, steel works and rolling mills, and wireworks, these industries show the smallest proportions
of proprietors and officials of any given in the table.
The largest proportion of wage earners, 97 per cent,
was reported for the carpet and rug industry, while
the smallest, 55.2 per cent, was for the manufacture
of patent medicines and compounds and druggists'
preparations. Among the industries presented separately in the above table, however,the patent-medicine
industry shows the largest proportion of clerks.
The first table on the following page shows,for 1909,
in percentages,for all industries combined,the distribution of the average number of wage earners by age
periods, and for those 16 years of age and over by sex,
calculated in the manner described in the Introduction.
It also shows, for some of the important industries
separately, a similar distribution of the wage earners
reported for December 15,or the nearest representative
day. As a means of judging the importance of the
several industries the average number employed for the
year is also given in each case.
For all industries combined, 70 per cent of the average number of wage earners in 1909 were males 16
years of age and over; 29.2 per cent, females 16 years
of age and over; and eight-tenths of 1 per cent, children
under the age of 16. The larger part of the total number of female wage earners 16 years of age and over
was made up of those employed in the clothing,
textile, millinery and lace goods, tobacco manufactures,
and men's furnishing goods industries; the industry
having the largest proportion of women, however, was
the manufacture of artificial flowers and feathers and
plumes,in which such wage earners formed 84.2 per cent
of the total. In the manufacture of men's furnishing
goods, and of millinery and lace goods, over threefourths of the wage earners were women 16 years of
age and over; in the hosiery and knit goods, fancy and
paper box, and silk and silk-goods industries, over
three-fifths; and in seven other industries shown in the
table the proportion was over one-half.
The textile, clothing, printing and publishing,
boot and shoe, fancy and paper box, and millinery
and lace-goods industries employed the larger part
of the wage earners under 16 years of age. The proportion of such wage earners was largest (2.9 per cent)
in the manufacture of fancy and paper boxes, while

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

in the cotton-goods industry they formed 2.8 per cent
of the total number, and in the silk-goods industry 2.5
per cent. The proportion was also relatively high in
the manufacture of artificial flowers and feathers and
plumes, jewelry, boots and shoes, confectionery, and
woolen goods,in each of which children under 16 years
of age formed at least 2 per cent of the total number
of wage earners.

Comparable figures are not obtainable for 1899.
Salaried employees show the greatest percentage of
increase and the only gain in relative numerical
importance.
The following table shows the average number of
wage earners distributed according to age periods,
and in the case of those 16 years of age and over
according to sex, for 1909, 1904, and 1899. The
averages for 1909 are estimated on the basis of the
actual number reported for a single representative

This table indicates that for all industries combined
there has been both an absolute and a relative decrease during the 10 years in the employment of
children under 16 years of age. Although the number
of each class of wage earners 16 years of age and over
shows a decided increase during the same period, the
proportions of such employees remained practicalli
the same. In 1909 males 16 years of age and over
formed 70 per cent of all wage earners in the manufacturing industries, as compared with 70.4 per cen
in 1904 and 69.3 per cent in 1899.
Wage earners employed, by months.
-The first table
on the following page gives the number of wage earners
employed on the 15th of each month during the year
1909 for all industries combined. It gives also the
percentage which the number reported for each month
is of the greatest number reported for any month. lu
Table II, page 766, are shown,for practically all of the
important industries in the state, the largest number,
and also the smallest number of wage earners reported
for any month. The figures are for the 15th day, Or
the nearest representative day, of the month.

There were no seasonal industries of importance in

New York, nor did any of the more important industries show very great fluctuations from month. to
month M the number of wage earners employed.
Among the seasonal industries the greatest relative
variations took place in canning and preserving and
ill the manufacture of brick and tile, but the numbers
°f Wage earners employed in these industries were not
large enough to affect very greatly the totals for the
entire state. There was a larger absolute variation
In the number of wage earners engaged in the women's

699

•
clothing industry than in either of the seasonal industries mentioned, but these fluctuations were due
mainly to trade conditions which affected to a less
extent many other industries, and through them the
totals for the state as a whole. In all manufacturing
industries combined, the smallest number of wage
earners, 945,356, were employed in the month of January, and the largest number, 1,063,162, in the month
of October, the difference between these figures being
117,806, or 11.1 per cent of the maximum.
Prevailing hours of labor.
-In the following table
wage earners have been classified according to the
hours of labor prevailing in the establishments in
which they are employed. In making this classification the average number of wage earners employed
during the year is used, and the number employed in
each establishment is classified as a total according
to the hours prevailing in that establishment, even
though a few employees work a greater or less number
of hours.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.

More than two-thirds of the wage earners employed employed in establishments where the usual hours
in the manufacturing industries of New York in 1909 were 60 per week. The majority of the wage earners
worked from 54 to 60 hours a week, while more than engaged in the blast-furnace and in the gas indusone-fourth (27.5 per cent) were employed in estab- tries worked more than 72 hours per week, while in

In 1909, 86.8 per cent of the total value of products
for all manufacturing Industries in the state was
reported from cities and villages having over 10,000
inhabitants, and 85.3 per cent of the average number
of Wage
earners were employed in such cities and
4ages. While comparatively little change occurred
uuring the decade, the industries located in incorporated places of this size were somewhat more important relatively and those located outside of such
Places somewhat less important in 1909 than in 1899.
It should be borne in mind,in considering this table,
that the increase in the population of certain cities
and villages between 1900 and 1910 has caused considerable change in the make-up of some of the groups
Shown
in the table. .
o
Eleven places-White Plains,
Port Chester, North Tonawanda, Batavia,
Cortland, Ossining, Hudson, Plattsburg, Rensselaer,
k)ortland,
and Fulton-which had more than 10,000 inhabitants
in
. 1910, had less
than that number in 1900,so that for
399 their statistics are not included with those for
:corporated places having a population above that
limit. The total
value of products reported for these
,
to Et
11 Plaees in 1909 was $55,595,612, or 1.6 per cent of the
t shown for the entire state. If the figures for these
for
Places.were subtracted from those shown in the table
Cities and villages of 10,000 inhabitants or over for
1909 and added
to those for the remainder of the state,

the proportion for the former would be 85.2 per cent
and for the latter 14.8 per cent of the aggregate.
These percentages would therefore represent the proportions of th total value of products in 1909 reported
for the same areas for which statistics are given for
1899. In 1900 Jamestown, Amsterdam, Mount Vernon, Niagara Falls, New Rochelle, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh,Watertown,and Kingston were cities of the first
group-10,000 to 25,000 inhabitants-but during the
following decade the population of each so increased
that in 1910 all were cities of the second group-25,000
to 100,000 inhabitants. Albany was a city of the
second group in 1900, but by 1910 the increase in the
population enabled it to be classed in the third group
100,000 inhabitants or over.
Each of the three groups into which the incorporated
places of 10,000 inhabitants or over are divided in the
table shows a substantial increase in number of manufacturing establishments, average number of wage
earners, value of manufactured products, and value
added by manufacture in 1909 as compared with 1899,
except that the group comprising the cities and villages
having between 10,000 and 25,000 inhabitants shows a
decrease in number of establishments and average number of wage earners, due principally to the changes in
its composition which have already been referred to.

I Includes population of parts of the towns of Brunswick, Lansingburg, and
North Greenbush,annexed in 1900.
2 Incorporated from part of West Seneca town in 1909. Manufacturing statistics
for this city can not be shown separately without disclosing individual operations.
3Includes population of Oswego Falls, annexed in 1902.

The relative industrial importance of these cities
and villages is shown in the next table, in which
the value of products and the average number of wage
earners are shown separately for 1909, 1904, and 1899,
so far as figures are available. Lackawanna is not
included in that table, for reasons already referred to.
Every city or village for which comparative statistics are available shows an increase in value of
products, and all but seven an increase in the number
of wage earners, for the decade 1899-1909. For the
five-year period 1904-1909 all except five-Dunkirk,
Hudson, Ithaca, Watervliet, and Corning-show increases in value of products, and all except nine increases in the number of wage earners. The largest
decrease in value of products during this period, $3,333,596, or 33.6 per cent, took place in Dunkirk, and
was the result of the decline in the output of the locomotive works, which constituted the leading industry
in that city. The decrease in Hudson was due mainly
to the decline in the production of cement, while the
loss in Corning was chiefly in .the value of foundry
and machine-shop products, two plants engaged in
this branch of manufacture having moved to Rochester since 1904, and one having gone out of business.
The other two cities showing losses in value of products are comparatively small industrial centers whose
manufactures cover many industries. The largest

relative increase for the five-year period, 196.9 percent,
was made by Plattsburg, and was due largely to the
establishment of all automobile factory there since 1904.
The next largest relative gain, 113.9 per cent, was
made by Olean, and was due in .part to the resumption of business by a steam-railroad repair shop and a
petroleum refinery in that city, both of which were
idle in 1904. Other noteworthy gains occurred in
Little Falls (89.2 per cent), principally as a result of
the increased production of hosiery and knit goods
and of leather; in Mount Vernon (79.8 per cent),
mainly on account of the establishment of new industries since 1904; in Yonkers (76.9 per cent), largely as
the result of the gains in the output of refined sugar,
carpets and rugs, and fur-felt hats; and in Glens Falls
(72.6 per cent), chiefly because of the growth of the
manufacture of men's clothing (including shirts) and of
cement, and the starting of new industries there since
1904.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
New York City is not only the leading city and the
commercial center of the United States, but also the
industrial metropolis, holding first place in the total
value of manufactured products as well as in many
individual industries. In 1909 the population of New
York City was practically equal to that of the state of
Ohio, and exceeded only by Pennsylvania, Illinois, and
New York itself, but the valuo of its manufactured products exceeded that reported by any state except Pennsylvania and New York. This predominance in manufactures is connected closely with the abundant supply
of labor,its large immigrant population being in particular an influential factor in causing manufacturing
enterprises to locate there. New York City is the chief
center of trade between the United States and Europe
and also one of the principal distributing points for
domestic trade. This commercial importance has also
contributed greatly to the high rank of the city in
manufacturing industries and to making New York
the financial center of the United States, thereby rendering it easy to obtain capital for the establishment
and extension of such industries.
Measured by the increase in value of manufactured products, the industrial development of New
York City from 1904 to 1909 was greater than from
1899 to 1904, the increase being $503,169,570, or 33
Per cent, for the period 1904-1909, and $353,652,745,
or 30.2 per cent, for the period 1899-1904. During
the more recent five-year period the average number
of wage earners in the manufacturing industries of
the city increased 89,286, or 19.2 per cent, as comPared with an increase of 76,130, or 19.6 per cent,
for the earlier period. Of the 44,935 manufacturing establishments reported for the state in 1909,
25,938, or 57.7 per cent, were located in this city;
the proportion for 1904 was 56 per cent, and for 1899,
53.5 per cent.
The establishments in New York City reported 55.2
Per cent of the wage earners and 60.2 per cent of the
value of products for the state in 1909, as compared
with 54.2 per cent and 61.3 per cent, respectively, in
1904. The value of the city's manufactures represented 9.8 per cent of the total value of manufactured
Products for the United States in 1909 and 10.3 per
cent in 1904. Of the 243 industry classifications employed
in compiling the 1909 statistics for manufactures 01 the
i
state, 217 were represented in this city,
31 of which covered industries with products valued
at more
than $1,000,000.

It will be noted that for five of the industries
included in the preceding tabular statement more
than 90 per cent of the total value of products for the
state was reported from New York City, the proportion rising as high as 99.7 per cent in the case of the
manufacture of artificial flowers and feathers and
plumes. In seven other industries the establishments located in New York City contributed more
than three-fourths of the total value of products for
the state. For only two industries included in the
table—the foundry and machine-shop and the lumber
industries—was less than one-half of the total value
of products for the state reported from New York
City.
The leading industries in New York City in 1909
were the making of women's clothing and of men's
clothing. There were 5,521 establishments in the
two industries combined, which gave employment to
an average of 161,400 wage earners and manufactured
products valued at $484,888,000. The printing and
publishing industry was next in importance, with
2,883 establishments, 48,322 wage earners, and
products valued at $183,509,000. The value of the
products of the three industries just mentioned
represented 32.9 per cent of the total value of manufactured products for the city, and they employed
37.9 per cent of the average number of wage earners
engaged in all manufacturing industries.
In addition to the 118 industries presented separately for New York City in Table I, page 746, there
were 99 others which, for various reasons, are included under the head of "All other industries."
Some of these industries were among the most impor-

tant in the city, 36 reporting products in 1909 exceeding $1,000,000 in value.' Of these, 4 reported
products valued at $10,000,000 or over; 6, products
between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 in value; and 26,
products between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in value.
Of the five boroughs which form New York City,
the Borough of Manhattan is the most important
industrially, the value of the manufactured products
reported by the establishments within its limits in 1909
constituting 68.4 per cent of the total for the entire
city. The proportions of the total contributed by
the other boroughs in that year were as follows:
Brooklyn, 20.6 per cent; Queens, 7.5 per cent; the
Bronx, 2.1 per cent; and Richmond, 1.5 per cent.
Each borough made substantial gains from 1904 to
1909 in all items covered by the manufactures statistics, with the single exception that the Borough of
Richmond shows a decrease in the number of proprietors and firm members. The relative increase
in value of products was much greater in the boroughs
of Richmond and Queens, however, than in the city
as a whole, while in the Borough of Brooklyn it was
considerably less, the percentages of increase being as
follows: New York City, 33; Borough of Richmond,
76.1; Borough of Queens, 63.2; Borough of Brooklyn,
11.7; and the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx
combined, 37.2. The eleading industries in the Borough of Manhattan were to a large extent the same as
those previously enumerated for the city as a whole,
while in the Borough of Brooklyn refined sugar was
the leading product; in the Borough of Queens,smelted
and refined copper; in the Borough of the Bronx,
pianos and organs and materials; and in the Borough
of Richmond, soap.
The totals presented for New York City do not
include the statistics for three establishments operated by the Federal Government, namely, the United
States navy yard, with 3,622 wage earners and products valued at $7,032,416 in 1909; the United States
Naval Clothing Factory, with 96 wage earners and
products valued at $670,198, located in Brooklyn;
and the United States Lighthouse Establishment,
with 60 wage earners and products, such as illuminating and signal apparatus and machinery and other
lighthouse supplies, valued at $995,745, located at
Tompkinsville, in the Borough of Richmond.

Buffalo, the second city of importance in the state,
shows an increase from 1904 to 1909 of $71,426,121,
or 48.5 per cent, in value of products, and of 7,845, or
18 per cent, in the average number of wage earners.
Ranked by value of products, Buffalo was ninth among
the cities of the United States in 1909, as compared
with eleventh in 1904. In 1909 the average number
of wage earners employed in manufacturing industries
in Buffalo represented 5.1 per cent, and the value of its
manufactured products, 6.5 per cent, of the respective
totals for the state.
The leading industries of Buffalo, arranged in the
order of value of products, are indicated in the following tabular statement, which shows the absolute
and relative increase in this respect between 1904
and 1909, and also the percentage which the value of
products for each industry represents of the corresponding total for the state:

The blast-furnace industry, the manufacture of linseed oil, and the smelting and refining of copper, which
are also among the principal industries of the city, are
not included in the above table, since statistics for
these three industries can not be presented separately
without disclosing the operations of individual establishments. More than one-half of the value of the
linseed oil manufactured in New York in 1909 was,
however, reported from Buffalo.
In addition to the 43 industries shown separately
for Buffalo in Table I, page 744, and the 3 industries
referred to in the preceding paragraph, there were
number of others which, for reasons similar to those
given in the discussion of the corresponding group for
the state as a whole (p. 688), are included under the
head of "All other industries" in Table I. Some of
these industries were among the more important in the
city; in fact, 13 reported products between $1,000,000
and $5,000,000 in value for 1909.2

I Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

This table shows that in 1909 of the 44,935 estab'
8hiraents only 470, or 1 per cent, had a value of
Products exceeding $1,000,000. These establishments,
h°wever, employed an average of 255,383 wage earnor1 25.4 per cent of the total number in- all estabIsuruents, and reported 37 per cent of the total value
o Products and 31 per cent of the total value added
t.f
Inartufacture.
On the other hand, the very small establishments
Iv is, those having a value of products of less than
that
°°0 constituted a considerable proportion (27.3
Per cent)
of the total number of establishments, but
ie luvELdue of their products amounted to only nineent - of 1 per cent of the total. The great bulk of
the ma
nufacturing was done in establishments having
Pr7ducts valued at $100,000 or over.
It will
be seen from the above table that during the
Years from 1904 to 1909 there was a considerable
vairease in the relative importance, as measured by
e
thoue of products, of the largest establishments
oyes reporting products valued at $1,000,000 or
!
and a slight decrease in that of all other
Classes.

r

The

fact that the average value of products per
teshteaunshment increased from $66,902 to $74,986, and
643 ttverage value added by manufacture from $30,I
a. te ° $33,662, can not be taken as in itself indicating
11"neY toward concentration. These increased


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

values may be, and probably are, due in part to the
increase that has taken place in the prices of commodities. The average number of wage earners per
establishment decreased from 23 to 22.
This table shows further that when the size of the
establishments is measured by the average value of
products per establishment, the chemical, brewery,
and slaughtering and meat-packing industries wereconducted in comparatively large establishments, while
the carriage and wagon, marble and stone work, tobacco manufactures, and lumber industries were conducted in rather small establishments.
Of the industries shown separately,slaughtering and
meat packing had the largest establishments, with an
average value of products amounting to $534,160, and
the carriage and wagon industry the smallest, with
products valued on the average at $21,791 per establishment.
In some respects, find 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 table
on the following page shows,for 1909,such a classification for all industries combined and for 58 important
industries individuidly, and gives not only the number
of establishments in each group, but also the average
number of wage earners employed.

Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

Of the 44,935 establishments reported for all
industries, 10.4 per cent employed no wage earners:
46.2 per cent, from 1 to 5; 23.4 per cent, 6 to 20;
and 11.3 per cent, 21 to 50. The most numerous
single group consists of the 20,799 establishments
employing from 1 to 5 wage earners, and the next of
the 10,524 establishments employing from 6 to 20
wage earners. There were 585 establishments that
employed over 250 wage earners; 58 of these employed
over 1,000, of which 4 each were engaged in the foundry and machine-shop and printing and publishing
industries, and tobacco manufactures,and 3 each in the
automobile, carpet and rug, cotton-goods, hosiery and
knit-goods, and steel works and rolling-mill industries.
Of the total number of wage earners, 33.6 per cent
were in establishments employing over 250 wage
earners. The single group having the largest number
of wage earners was the group comprising the establishments employing from 101 to 250. This group
employed 189,485 wage earners, or 18.9 per cent of
the total number. In 21 of the 58 industries listed
separately in the table, establishments employing more
than 250 wage earners reported more than one-half of
the total number employed in each industry. In 11
of these industries, establishments employing over
500 wage earners reported more than one-half of the
total number, while in 7, establishments employing
over 1,000 wage earners reported more than one-half
of the total. The highest proportion (83.9 per cent)


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

of wage earners employed by establishments reporting
an average of more than 1,000 was in the manufacture
of carpets and rugs.
Expenses.
-As stated in the Introduction, the cendoes not purport to furnish figures that can he
sus
used for determining the cost of manufacture and
profits. Facts of interest can, however, be brought
out concerning the relative importance of the different
classes of expense which make up the total. The first
table on the following page shows, in percentages, for
1909, the distribution of expenses among the class
indicated, for all industries combined and for certain
important industries separately. The figures on which
the percentages are based appear in Table II, page 766
;
This table shows that, for all industries combined,
62.2 per cent of the total expenses were incurred for
materials, 24.9 per eent for services-that is, salaries
and wages-and 12.9 per cent for other purposes. As
.
would be expected, these proportions vary greatly 111
the differentindustries. The largest proportions shor
for the various classes of expenses in the industrie
presented separately are as follows: For salaries, 11 ,
.
1
per cent, in printing and publishing; for wages, 45
'
per cent, in the steam-railroad repair shops; for Ina:
terials, 92.6 per cent, in the flour mills and gristmills'
and for miscellaneous expenses (which in this case
include internal-revenue taxes), 50.4 per cent, in the
breweries.

1899 to 56.1 per cent in 1904 and 54.1 per cent in 1909.
The more general use of gas engines in recent years is
shown by the fact that 4,656 such engines, with an
indicated capacity of 99,899 horsepower, were reported
in 1909, as against 2,928 engines, with 44,288 horsepower, in 1904 and 1,944 engines, with 16,221 horsepower,in 1899. The figures also show that the practice
of renting electric power is increasing rapidly, the
horsepower having increased from 95,284 in 1904 to
389,955 in 1909, and 19.5 per cent of the total primary

power having been of this characterin 1909,as compared
with 6.3 per cent in 1904 and 4.3 per cent in 1899. This
condition was due in great measure to the utilization
of the electrical energy developed at Niagara Falls, by
the establishments located within the considerable area
forwhich this current is made available by transmission.
The use of electric motors for the purpose of applying
the power generated within the establishments is shown
also to be rapidly becoming more common, the horse-

power of such motors having increased from 29,830 in
1899 to 126,827 in 1904 and 300,031 in 1909.

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects,
by means of special schedules, details regarding the
quantity and cost of materials and the quantity and
value of products and other information for securing
'which no provision is made on the general schedule.
Certain data of this characterfor 28importantindustries

Printing and publishing.
-Though the printing and
Publishing industry in New York as a whole shows
considerable growth during the last five years when
measured by the financial statistics, the growth in the
newspaper and periodical branch has been slight,
neither the number of publications nor the aggregate
circulation showing any considerable increase.

SUPPLEMENT FOR NEW YORK.

In 1909 a total of 1,080 publications, with an aggregate circulation of 10,116,760 copies per issue, were
devoted to politics and family news; 135, with a circulation of 4,037,905, were religious in character; and
112, with a circulation of 12,664,213, were devoted to
general literature. The circulation for 1909 of the
first class increased 56.8 per cent and that of the last
class shows but a slight increase over that reported
for 1904, while the circulation of the second class in
1909 was more than two and one-half times that reported for 1904.
Textiles.
-The relative importance of the principal
textile industries of New York, as measured by value
of products, is shown in the following table, which
presents the total value of products reported for each
industry at the last three censuses:

The progress of the textile industries is shown by
the increase in the number of spindles, looms, knitting
machines, and other equipment. The following table
shows the number of the principal machines used in four
important textile industries combined and in each of
those industries separately in 1909, 1904, and 1899:

increases in the number of spindles, looms, and knitting machines were much greater than the gains shown
for the previous five-year period, 1899-1904, which
were 9 per cent, nine-tenths of 1 per cent, and 8.6 per
cent, respectively. During the period from 1904 to
1909 the number of spindles used in the cotton mills
increased 73,402, or 10.4 per cent, the number in the
hosiery and knitting mills, 78,291, or 34.8 per cent,
and the number in the silk mills, 38,218, or 31.5 per
cent, while the number used in the woolen and worsted
mills decreased 23,128, or 13 per cent. During the
preceding five-year period, 1899-1904, the number in
the cotton mills decreased, while the number in each of
the other three classes of mills increased. Each of
the three industries in the table for which looms are
reported shows a larger number for 1909 than for 1904,
the greatest relative increase being 8.4 per cent in the
silk mills.
Hosiery and knit goods.
-The manufacture of
hosiery and knit goods as a factory industry in New
York had its beginning in Cohoes in 1832, with the
founding of a factory in which power was for the first
time successfully used in the making of knit goods.
(See History of Cohoes, by Masten, pp. 61, 62, and
77.) In 1849 there were only 3 knitting mills in the
state, the value of their products amounting to only
$37,000, but in 1859 there were 22 mills in operation
and the total production was valued at $1,944,000.
The industry has continued this rapid development, tile
value of products in 1909 being more than thirty-four
times the value reported in 1859.
The following table shows the quantity and cost of
the different materials used in 1909, 1904, and 49:

slightly more than doubled during the decade 18991909, that of silk in its various forms representing
about four-fifths of the total at each census. Raw
silk, which is by far the most important single item,
as measured by cost, increased 810,536 pounds, or
80.5 per cent, in quantity, and $3,157,738, or 80.3
per cent, in cost, from 1904 to 1909. The consumption of artificial silk, of which only a small amount
was reported in 1899, more than doubled between
1904 and 1909, though the increase in cost was only
25.9 per cent. Organzine and tram purchased, on the
other hand, show a marked falling off for the same
period, the quantity and cost reported for 1909 being
only a little more than half as great as for 1904. Among
the materials other than silk, cotton yarns, especially
mercerized yarns, show a very rapid increase for the
period 1904-1909, while woolen and worsted yarns
show a decided loss, amounting to 48.7 per cent in
quantity and 40.1 per cent in cost.
The next table shows the quantity and'value of the
different products reported for.1909, 1904, and 1899:

With the exception of Jacquard broad silks, ladies'
dress trimmings, and the products included under the
head of "All other products," the value of each class
of products shown in the table increased from 1904 to
1909. The most pronounced decrease was in Jacquard silks, amounting to $448,482, or 53.2 per cent,
owing to the removal from the state of two establishments in which such fabrics were manufactured extensively in 1904. Ribbons,although the leading class
of products next to broad silks in 1904 and 1909, have
represented a smaller proportion of the total value of
products at each succeeding census since 1899. The
proportions which the value of broad silks, the class of
products first in importance in 1909 and 1904,formed
of the total for all products were 34.1 per cent in 1899,
31.6 per cent in 1904,and 34.1 per cent in 1909. Striking gains occurred during the decade in the production
of organzine and tram for sale, both the quantity and
the value of this class of products more than doubling

from 1899 to 1904, and both more than trebling from
1904 to 1909. The amount reported as received for
contract work was but little more in 1904 than in 1899,
but during the next five years it more than doubled.
This item represents mainly the receipts for commission throwing.
In 1909 a total of 936,754 pounds of silk were
thrown for other establishments under contract, of
which 495,053 pounds were thrown into organzine
and 441,701 pounds into tram. The corresponding
figures for 1904 were 359,248 pounds and 345,830
pounds, respectively, representing a total of 705,078
pounds of silk thrown under contract in that year.

The chief material used in each of the three census
years was wool, the cost of which formed 47 per cent of
the total for all materials combined in 1909, 42.3 per
cent in 1904, and 50.5 per cent in 1899. The quantity
of wool used increased 12,624,804 pounds, or 53.6 per
cent, from 1904 to 1909, and the cost $1,549,111, or
32.9 per cent. Jute and other vegetable fiber yarns
constituted the class seoond in importance, showing
an increase for the five-year period 1904-1909 of
6,433,580 pounds, or 30.1 per cent, in quantity and
$489,137, or 35.1 per cent, in cost,. The amount of
woolen yarn purchased in 1909, however, was little
more than one-eighth that reported for 1904, owing
largely to the purchase of the fiber in the raw state
instead of in yarn.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
Carpets and rugs, taken together, show an increase
for the period 1904-1909 of 4,413,758 square yards, or
19.6 per cent, in quantity and $6,283,652, or 32.7 per
cent, in value, and for the period 1899-1904 an increase of 755,718 square yards, or 3.5 per cent, in
quantity and $4,368,684, or 29.5 per cent, in value. In
1909 seamless rugs constituted 35.4 per cent of the
total output of carpets and rugs, as compared with 14.9
per cent in 1904 and 26.4 per cent in 1899.
Axminster and moquette carpets formed the leading
Class of carpets manufactured in 1909, with tapestry
Brussels, tapestry velvet, and Brussels following in the
order named. In 1904 and 1899, however, tapestry
Brussels was the leading variety.

The total quantity of all classes of wool purchased
Was 26,651,580 pounds in 1909, 26,056,151 pounds in
1904,
and 20,942,082 pounds in 1899, an increase of
595:429 pounds, or,2.3 per cent, for the later five-year
Period, and 5,114,069 pounds, or 24.4 per cent,for the

earlier period. The cost of this material represented
57.4 per cent of the total cost reported for all materials
in 1909,63.7 per cent in 1904, and 56.2 per cent in 1899.
Worsted yarns purchased show larger relative gains
from 1904 to 1909 than any other class of materials,
the quantity reported in 1909 being more than four
times as great as in 1904, and the cost more than five
times as great, while from 1899 to 1904 shoddy, mungo,
and wool extract show the largest relative gain in
quantity, and animal hair and fur the largest relative
gain in value. For the five-year period 1904-1909
tailors' clippings, raw cotton, shoddy, and silk and
spun-silk yarns all show a decrease in both quantity
and cost, while domestic wool shows a decrease in
quantity only.

The output of all-wool woven goods reported in 1909
was 17,243,627 square yards, as compared with 12,459,972 square yards in 1904 and 9,464,705 square yards
in 1899, the gain in 1909 as compared with 1904 being
4,783,655 square yards, or 38.4 per cent, and that in
1904 as compared with 1899 being 2,995,267 square
yards, or 31.6 per cent. The very considerable gain in
the output and value of worsted-filling dress goods between 1904 and 1909 was more than offset by a decline

in the manufacture of other woven goods containing
cotton. The output of felt cloth in 1909 was more than
double that in 1904. The total value of the worsted
yarns manufactured for sale was $1,184,521 in 1909, as
compared with $793,285 in 1904 and $701,166 in 1899.
To the extentothat the partly manufactured products,

To the extent that cotton yarn and waste made in the
state were sold by the establishments producing them
to other establishments in New York engaged in the

The increase in quantity, however, which is not influenced by such external conditions as changing
prices, indicates more accurately the actual growth
of the industry
The largest relative increase in quantity was that
of 146.8 per cent for the products included under the
head of "All other fresh meat," while the largest
relative increase in value was that of 306.4 per cent
for salted and cured beef. The output of fresh beef
increased 119,376,176 pounds, or 38.4 per cent, from
1904 to 1909; that of salted and cured beef, 11,314,869
pounds, or 74.7 per cent; that of fresh veal, 10,209,820
pounds, or 38.7 per cent; that of fresh mutton,
17,339,772 pounds, or 27.3 per cent; that of fresh pork,
362,495 pounds, or three-tenths of 1 per cent; and
that of salted and cured pork, 27,929,294 pounds, or
26.2 per cent. The total output of these products increased 186,532,426 pounds, or 28.9 per cent, while its
value increased $33,520,270, or 60.6 per cent, during
the same period.
The value of all meat products,including sausage and
"All other fresh meats," represented 75.3 per cent of
the total value of all products for the industry in 1909,
as compared with 78 per cent in 1904. The advance
in price, as affecting the gain in value, seems to have
been most pronounced in the case of salted and cured
beef, whose value per pound in 1909 was more than
double that in 1904. In the case of lard, the value
increased 140.9 per cent, while the output increased
only 34 per cent.

Wheat flour, which contributed slightly more than
one-half of the total value of all products at each
census, shows an increase of 17.9 per cent in quantity
and 26.6 per cent in value for the period 1904-1909,
as compared with an increase of 11.2 per cent in quantity and 51.7 per cent in value for the period 18991904. The output of offal, which consists mainly of
bran and middlings, the by-products from the flour
mills, decreased three-tenths of 1 per cent in quantity
from 1904 to 1909, but increased 18.5 per cent in value;
for the earlier five-year period, however, it shows an
increase of 93.4 per cent in quantity and 146.8 per
cent in value. Feed, which consists largely of corn
and oats ground together, was the second product in
importance at each census, and.shows an increase of
58.6 per cent in quantity and 81 per cent in value for
the period 1904-1909; between 1899 and 1904, however, there was a decrease in the output, though its
value increased 25.7 per cent. The output of corn
meal and corn flour increased in both quantity and
value during the earlier five-year period, but decreased

in both respects during the later period. Buckwheat
flour shows an increase in both ckiantity and value of
output for both periods, while the remaining products
presented separately in the table show gains in both
quantity and value for the period 1899-1904 and
losses for the period 1904-1909, the greatest decreases
being those shown for barley meal, amounting to 78.2
per cent in quantity and 73.6 per cent in value.
Of the 983 mills reported in 1909, 270 were engaged
in milling wheat flour. Of these, 105 produced less
than 1,000 barrels during the year; 86, from 1,000 to
4,999 barrels; 49, from 5,000 to 19,999 barrels; 19,
from 20,000 to 99,999 barrels; and 11, 100,000 barrels
or over. The equipment reported in 1909 consisted
mainly of 3,873 pairs of rolls and 1,111 runs of stone
and steel burrs. In 1904 there were 4,200 pairs of rolls
and 1,326 runs of stone and steel burrs. Barrels were
manufactured by 9 of the establishments reported in
1909.
Paper and wood pulp.
-Of the total of 178 paper
and pulp mills in the state in 1909, 27 were engaged
exclusively in the manufacture of wood pulp, 100
made paper only,and 51 produced both pulp and paper.
The wood pulp manufactured in mills producing pulp
exclusively was used largely as material by the paper
mills of the state, and to the extent that it was so used
its value represents a duplication both in the total cost
of materials and in the total value of products shown
for the industry.

The cost of pulp wood shows an increase of

1904-1909, as compared with an increase of $3,321,484,

figures, however, do not afford an entirely satisfactorl

The wood pulp purchased increased 66,281 tons, or
25 per cent, in quantity and $3,063,648, or 43.7 per
cent, in cost from 1904 to 1909. In addition to the
pulp purchased, 399,659 tons in 1909, 370,572 tons in
1904, and 180,336 tons in 1899 were used in the mills
Where manufactured. A substantial increase between
1904 and 1909 was reported in the cost of all the other
classes of materials shown in the table, with the
exception of manila stock, which was the only class
to show a decrease in quantity.

News paper was the principal product of the industry in 1909 and 1904, its value constituting 30 per
cent of the total for all products in 1909, 35.7 per cent
in 1904, and 25.7 per cent in 1899. Among the different paper products, the largest increase in value
from 1899 to 1904 was that of $6,586,080 reported for
news paper, whereas from 1904 to 1909 the largest
gain was that of $2,185,837 in the value of book,
cover, plate, and coated paper. Of the total output
of news paper manufactured in 1899, 79.2 per cent
was in rolls, while in 1904 and 1909 the proportions were 95.1 per cent and 94.8 per cent, respectively. News boards and the wrapPing paper included under the head of "All other" are the only
paper products which show losses in both quantity and
value from 1904 to 1909, although the output of manila
wrapping paper shows a decrease in quantity alone.
In 1909 New York contributed 31.3 per cent of the total
value of the news paper manufactured in the United
States, 21.3 per cent of the value of the bogus or wood
manila wrapping paper, and 32.6 per cent of the value
of the tissues.
Of the total quantity of wood pulp manufactured
in the state in 1909, including that used in the mills
where it was made, 59.7 per cent was ground wood
pulp, 34.5 per cent sulphite fiber, and 5.8 per cent
soda fiber, while in 1899, 62.2 per cent of the total
quantity was ground wood pulp, 31.7 per cent was
sulphite fiber, and 6.2 per cent soda fiber, a comparison of the figures showing a slight increase in
the proportion of sulphite fiber during the decade.
Fifty-eight and eight-tenths per cent of the pulp
manufactured in 1909 was used in the mills where
it was made, as compared with 61.1 per cent in
1904 and 45.7 per cent in 1899. Of the pulp manufactured for sale or for use in other mills in 1909, 35.9
per cent was ground wood pulp, while 52.3 per cent
was sulphite fiber, and 11.9 per cent was soda fiber. In
1904 and 1899, however, ground wood pulp constituted
more than one-half the total quantity of pulp manufactured for sale. The figures given in the table show
that there has been a marked increase, especially since
1904, in the amount of sulphite and soda fiber manufactured for sale, and a considerable decrease in the
amount of ground wood pulp, though the total amount
of each kind of pulp manufactured shows an increase
throughout the decade. The value of sulphite fiber
constituted more than one-half the total value of pulp
manufactured for sale in each census year, amounting
in 1909 to 63.3 per cent.
The first table on the following page shows the
number and capacity of the Fourdrinier and cylinder
machines used in the paper mills, and of the grinders
and digesters used in the pulp mills in 1909, 1904,
and 1899.
The number of paper machines increased from 290
in 1904 to 331 in 1909, while their annual capacity
increased 215,174 tons, or 24.4 per cent, during the

same time; from 1899 to 1904 the increase in the number of machines was relatively small, but their capacity increased 44.1 per cent. Fourdrinier machines
formed more than half the total number in 1904 and
1899, but in 1909 they were considerably outnumbered by the cylinder machines, which are generally
used in the manufacture of tissue paper, boards, and
certain other special kinds of paper. The average
capacity of the Fourdrinier machines, however, was
more than twice as great as that of the cylinder machines, so that the former still represented in 1909
more than two-thirds of the total paper-making
capacity. Thd number of pulp grinders decreased
somewhat from 1904 to 1909,but their yearly capacity
increased 118,733 tons, or 21 per cent; the number of
sulphite digesters increased from 84 to 93, and their
capacity increased 75,338 tons, or 32.3 per cent; and
the number of soda digesters remained unchanged,
while their capacity increased 12,161 tons, or 37.4 per
cent.

cent. On the other hand, a decrease of 30.9 per cent
occurred in the output of men's boots and shoes, and a
decrease of 41.1 per cent in that of boys' and youths'
boots and shoes. With the exception of the footwear
included under the head of "All other kinds of footwear," which comprises, for the most part, sandals
and bath slippers, the remaining classes in the table
show substantial gains for this period.

under "All other methods."

2 Included

Of the total number of pairs of boots and shoes manufactured in New York in 1909, 36.8 per cent were machine or hand welt sewed, 26.7 per cent were McKa9
sewed, 25.2 per cent were turned, and 11.2 per cent
manufactured by other methods, the latter class comprising wire-screw or metal-fastened, and wooden
pegged shoes. More than half of the total number Qf
men's boots and shoes were of the last-mentioned
types. About two-fifths of the boys' and youths'
boots and shoes and more than half of the slippers
were manufactured by the McKay process. Almost
half of the women's boots and shoes were made by the
machine or hand welt process, and more than half of
the misses' and children's boots and shoes, together
with nearly all of the infants' shoes and slippers, were
turned.

industry in 1909, 512 used separators, whereas 705 of
the 1,766 plants in operation during 1904 reported such
machinery. The number of separators in these establishments in 1909 was 1,065, as against 1,219 in 1904.

which was acquired from outside sources, a little over
200,000 tons produced in the works themselves during
1909 were charged back into the furnaces.
Rolled, forged, and other classified products, which
contributed 85.8 per cent of the total value of products
for the industry in both 1909 and 1904, and 88.6 per
cent in 1899, show an increase from 1904 to 1909 of
486,645, or 85.5 per cent, in tonnage, and $15,705,046,
or 86.2 per cent, in value. The total production of
steel in the state in 1909 was 1,115,250 tons and in 1904
474,258 tons, a little more than half being manufactured by the Bessemer process. Of the steel product
for 1909,1,088,840 tons werein ingots,of which 1,087,518

reported in 1904, which,in turn, was 42 per cent greater
than the number reported in 1899. The value of
pianos constituted 70.6 per cent of the total value of
products for the industry in 1909, 71.3 per cent in
1904, and 80.4 per cent in 1899. By far the greater
part of the pianos were uprights without player
attachments, this class showing a substantial increase
both in number and in value for both five-year periods.
The growth in the production of pianos for or with
player attachments, however, has been remarkable,
the number having increased from 83 in 1899 to 1,506
in 1904 and 18,917 in 1909. Comparatively few
organs were made in the state during any one of the
three census years. The nurqber dropped from 1,774
in 1899 to 58'in 1904, but advanced to 275 during the
next five-year period. Of these instruments, all in
1904 and nearly all in 1909 were pipe organs. There
were 1,701 reed organs manufactured in 1899, but
none were reported in 1904 and only 30 in 1909. Both
in 1904 and 1909 the value of parts and materials constituted a considerable proportion of the total value of
products. The major portion of this amount represents the valuesof the output of independent establishments manufacturing cases and other parts of instruments which were used as materials in the instrument
factories of the state, so that their value was counted
again as a part of the value of the finished pianos and
organs and thus represents a duplication in the total
cost of materials and value of products for the industry.

York, as compared.with 1,808 automobiles, valued at


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

$3,071,093, in 1904, the number in 1909 being over
four times as great and the value nearly six times as
great as in 1904. Of the automobiles manufactured
in 1909, 7,529, or 93.4 per cent of the total number,
were propelled by gasoline, as compared with 1,496, or
82.7 per cent of the total, in 1904. There were 7,447
passenger automobiles made in 1909, of which 5,440
were touring cars, and 617 business vehicles, of which
475 were trucks and 139 were delivery wagons. During the five-year period the number of gasoline automobiles increased 403.3 per cent, while those propelled
by electricity and steam increased only 71.5 per cent.
The most noteworthy increase in the different classes
of vehicles manufactured was in touring cars, which
show an increase from 421 in 1904 to 5,440 in 1909.
Of the 8,064 automobiles manufactured in 1909, 686
were rated at less than 10 horsepower; 1,410, at 10 but
less than 20 horsepower; 1,089, at 20 but less than 30
horsepower; 4,198, at 30 but less than 50 horsepower;
666, at 50 but less than 90 horsepower; and 15, at 90
horsepower or over. Of the 126,593 automobiles made
in the United States during 1909 by the establishments
engaged primarily in this industry, 6.4 per cent were
made in New York.

amounted to $13,469,945, or 43.5 per cent of the total

1909 in value of Output, and all except the paints in
oil show an increase in quantity. The largest absolute
increase in value from 1904 to 1909 was that of
8753,273, or 20.6 per cent, in the value of white lead
dry and in oil combined, while the most striking increase in quantity was that of 19,959,910 pounds, or
80.9 per cent, in the output of dry colors. The most
pronounced relative increase in quantity was reported
for barytes, and in value, for pyroxylin varnishes.
In addition to the various products reported in the
preceding table for 1909, paint and varnish to the value
of $806,814 were manufactured as secondary products
by 15 establishments included under other classifications. These products consisted mainly of bleached
shellac, drying japans and dryers, and paints in oil,
ready for use. There were also 43,431,580 pounds of
dry white lead, 737,214 gallons of varnish, and 170,249
pounds of lead oxide manufactured and used in further processes of manufacture within the paint and
varnish establishments reporting.
During 1909, 36,203 tons of pig lead, valued at
$2,733,997; 46,520 gallons of grain alcohol, valued at

Hides show a greater increase in cost during the
five-year period 1904-1909 than any other of the materials used, namely, $2,669,476, or 34.2 per cent, but.
the number used increased only 69,717, or 4.4 per cent.
The cost of hides constituted 50 per cent of the total
cost of all materials used in 1909, 48 per cent in 1904,
and 51.5 per cent in 1899. Eight and nine-tenths per
cent of the hides tanned in the United States during
1909 were tanned in New York establishments. The
largest relative increase in number from 1904 to 1909
is shown for calf and kip skins, while the largest decrease is shown for sheepskins.

The value of upper leather (exclusive of colt, calf,
and kip skins) constituted a larger proportion of the
total value of all products for the industry at the
censuses of 1904 and 1899 than that of any other
product, but by 1909 sole leather had taken the
lead in this respect. For the five-year period 19041909, tanned and finished calf and kip skins show
the largest relative increase both in number and
in value 87.6 per cent and 127.3 per cent, respectively. During the same period both the number
and the value of the tanned and finished goatskins
and sheepskins decreased. In 1909 New York contributed 17.6 per cent of the total number of tanned
and finished sheepskins, and 11.1 per cent of the
tanned* and finished calf and kip; skins reported
for the United States. In addition to that shown
in the above table, leather valued at $2,357,587 was
tanned and curried during 1909 by establishments
which used it in further manufacture.
The amount charged for tanning, currying, or
finishing for others shows a slight increase both from
1899 to 1904 and from 1904 to 1909. The estimated
value, after treatment, of the stock treated on a custom basis for others than tanners, curriers, or finishers
. during 1909 was $7,286,944. If this amount be added
to the total value of products, $27,642,383, reported
for the industry, less the $1,185,080 received for
work performed,the result, $33,744,247, will represent
fairly the importance of the leather industry in the
state.

three-fourths the number so treated in 1904, and the
number of skins less than one-half the number in 1904.

ured by cost, among the materials used, show for the
five-year period a decrease of 7,331,337 pounds, or

per cent, in quantity, but an increase of $1,710,704 or
41.4 per cent, in cost. This class of materials repre;

The output of canned vegetables, which constitute
the most important group, as measured by value,
shows a decrease of 466,077 cases, or 11.9 per cent, in
quantity and $564,547, or 8.3 per cent, in value.
Measured by value,the most important single product
in 1909 was canned peas, the value of which formed
14.1 per cent of the aggregate value of all products.
The value of each of the vegetable products shown
separately, with the exception of beans and corn,
increased from 1904 to 1909. The fruits included
under the head of "All other" were the only canned
fruits to show a decrease in either quantity or value in
1909 as compared with 1904, while the largest absolute
increase in each item was reported for apples.
Dried apples show an increase of 2,193,413 pounds,
or 7 per cent, in quantity and $1,001,242, or 75.2 per
cent, in value from 1904 to 1909. The production of
dried apples in New York during 1909 represented
75.5 per cent of the total output of this product for
the United States and 75.3 per cent of its value.
The quantity of smoked fish decreased during the
five-year period 1904-1909, owing chiefly to the decided decrease of 1,025,263 pounds in smoked sturgeon. More salmon was smoked in 1909 than any
other variety of fish. The increase in the quantity and
value of salted fish from 1904 to 1909 is noteworthy.
New York ranked first among the states of the
Union in 1909 in the output of dried and of canned
apples, second in that of canned peas, third in that of
canned beans, and sixth in that of canned corn.

Although the number of pairs of gloves, mittens, and
gauntlets manufactured decreased slightly from 1904
to 1909, their value increased $4,328,565, or 44.2
per cent, owing largely to a general rise in prices.
The output of men's unlined gloves, mittens, and
gauntlets, which formed the most important single
class at each of the last three censuses, shows a decrease from 1904 to 1909 of 74,509 dozen pairs, or 8.4
per cent, although its value shows an increase of
$2,351,406, or 54.1 per cent. The output of women's
and children's unlined gloves, mittens, and gauntlets,
the class second in importance in 1909, increased
181,472 dozen pairs, or 124.7 per cent, and its value
$2,085,202, or 180.3 per cent, during the same period.
Of the total output of men's gloves, mittens, and
gauntlets reported in 1909, 63.7 per cent, representing 70 per cent of the value, were unlined, the corresponding percentages for women's and children's
gloves, mittens, and gauntlets being 57.3 and 71.2,

I Not reported separately.

In view of the extraordinary development of the
automobile industry, particularly during the last five
Years, it is but natural that the output of horse-drawn
*vehicles should decrease materially. In 1899, 96,107
such conveyances were manufactured in New York by
the carriage and wagon establishments reported, but
the number had decreased to 82,303 in 1904, and to
58,453 in 1909. The value of the vehicles made, howIncreased 1 per cent from 1899 to 1904, although
're'n1 1904 to 1909 it decreased 28.3 per cent. During
the
, five-year period 1904-1909 the only kinds of vehi'ea showing an increase in number were business
th
wagons and government and municipal wagons, while
le
„ largest decrease was in the number of family and
easure carriages. The number of sleighs and sleds
%ado decreased 8,610 and their value $243,125 during the same period. In point of numbers, family
841 Pleasure carriages were the most important of the

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however, could be furnished only in those
cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and materials
used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the beginning and
at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from
general among mine operators, and there is reason to believe that in
many cases the reported cost of supplies and materials covered all
purchased during the year rather than those used during the year.
The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for
further dressing or refining; the cost of such materials is shown
separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state

enterprises,except those employing no wage earners and
those operated exclusively by contract work and parttime employees, have been classified according to the

Comparison of mining industries: 1902-1909.
-In

order to make comparisons between 1909 and 1902, it
is necessary to omit from 1902 figures, as given in the
mines and quarries report for that year, statistics for
the production of cement and for the operation of
enterprises operated by governmental institutions, and
to add to the 1909 statistics, figures for the production
of lime, which were omitted from the census of mines
and quarries in 1909. Such items as are comparable
for the two years are presented in Table 6.

THIRTEENTH CENSUS PUBLICATIONS.
The results of the Thirteenth Decennial Census will be published in
two forms: A comprehensive report in 12 volumes, and a condensed
report, the Abstract of the Thirteenth Census, which is being issued
with Supplements for the different states.
The material contained in the Supplements embraces for each state
all of the census results published concerning the state, its counties,
cities, and other civil divisions, except as to occupations. This material
is bound up in one volume with the Abstract of the Thirteenth
Decennial Census. The result is a series of editions of the Abstract
each with a different State Supplement, with the purpose of furnishing
those who receive the Abstract with the statistics of the state in which
they reside.
The material contained in the various State Supplements will also be
printed by subjects in the final reports. The chapters relating to Population for all of the states will be assembled in two volumes of the final
report on Population; those relating to Agriculture, in two volumes of
the final report on that subject; those relating to Manufactures, in one
volume of the final report on Manufactures; and those relating to
Mining, in the final report on Mining.
The present pamphlet is a reprint of the State Supplement. It
contains no material which is not available in the bound volume of the
Abstract for the state to which it refers, or in the complete fmal report
of the Thirteenth Census, and has been issued in a very limited edition
for special purposes.

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of
Rhode Island, by counties and minor civil divisions,
as enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of population where possible, and a statement and discussion
for the state as a whole of the population living in
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
in detail in two general tables.
• Table 1 (p. 572) shows the population of Rhode
Island, distributed according to counties and minor
civil divisions, at the last three Federal censuses,
namely, those of 1910, 1900, and 1890. The arrangement of counties and of the minor civil divisions in
each county is alphabetical. All divisions of counties in Rhode Island are primary divisions. Except
for certain changes in form of organization, which are
indicated in the footnotes to the table, the minor civil
divisions of the state are practically the same as in
1900. For changes in boundaries, name, or form of
organization between 1890 and 1900 reference must
be made to the census report of 1900.
Table 2(p.572)shows the cities of Rhode Island and
also the towns having, in 1910, 2,500 inhabitants or
more,alphabetically arranged, with their population in
1910, 1900, and 1890.
The population of Rhode Island, by counties, at
each of the last five Federal censuses, from 1870 to
1910, inclusive; the increase during the last two decades; the density of population at the census of 1910;
and the distribution of the population at the last two
Federal censuses according to urban and rural districts,
are given in Table I of Chapter 2.
The census usage in regard to certain terms is explained below:
Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area.

Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the
different parts of the country, such as towns, townships, election
precincts, etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank
next to the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In many instances, however, these primary divisions contain political units of still smaller area,such as cities, incorporated
villages, towns, or boroughs. These smaller political units are referred to as secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defined.—The Census Bureau,
for purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that
residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more. In the New England States, in addition to cities
having this population, all towns having a population of 2,500
or more have also been classed as urban,without regard to the population of the villages (whether incorporated as such or not) which
they may contain. The result is that the "urban areas" in
New England include some population which in other sections
of the United States would be segregated as"rural." Thisdeparture
from the general rule, rendered necessary by local conditions in New
England,probably makes no greatchange in the proportions of urban
and rural population in those sections where population is dense
and generally devoted to manufacturing. In other sections a considerable variation doubtless results, but there is no reason to suppose that it materially affects the distinguishing characteristics
of urban and rural population as defined by census statistics.
Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the
state or county is classed as rural. In the New England States,
therefore, the rural population consists of the population outside
of towns and cities having 2,500 inhabitants or more. Such population in Rhode Island is located wholly in towns.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910
with that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect
to the varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations 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 preceding census, it is necessary to classify the
territory according to the conditions as they existed at each census. In this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants
in 1900 and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural population
for 1900 and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order
to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities,
as regards their rate ofgrowth,it is necessary to consider the changes
in population for the same territory whioh have occurred from one
decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory which in

IIISTORICAL NOTE.—The full name of this state is Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations, the designation employed in the charter of 1663, which remained in
effect until 1843. This designation had its origin in the fact that prior to the patent
of 1644 the colony consisted of several independent settlements, of which those of
Rhode Island and Providence were the most important.
The origin of the name "Rhode Island" is uncertain. The most usual explanation is that it is based upon a fancied resemblance of the island bearing this name
to the Isle of Rhodes,although other theories have been advanced. "Providence
Plantations" was the designation employed for the colony in the patent of 1644,
Providence being the oldest and one of the two most important settlements.
The explorer Verrazzano, sailing under the French flag,appears to have discovered Narragansett Bay as early as 1524. Later, in 1614, it was explored by the
Dutch navigator, Adrian Block. The region now covered by the state was included in the grants conveyed by the first charter of Virginia (1606) and by the
charter of New England (1620). These grants appear,however,to have had no
Practical result so far as the territory now constituting Rhode Island was
concerned.
The first English settlement in this state was made at Providence in 1636 by
Roger Williams and others who had been obliged to leave the colony of Massachu-

setts Bay. Settlements were also made at Portsmouth in 1638, Newport in 1639,
and Warwick in 1642.
In 1644 a patent was granted for the "Incorporation of Providence Plantations
In the Narragansett Bay in New England." In 1663 a charter was obtained from
Charles II,under which the colony and the state were successively governed until
1843, when the present state constitution went into effect. The territorial limits
of Rhode Island, as defined by this charter, differed somewhat,though not greatly,
from those now in existence.
The present boundary between Rhode Island and Connecticut was agreed upon
In 1703 and surveyed in 1728. It was not, however,finally established until 1887.
The boundary between Rhode Island and Massachusetts was in dispute for more
than 200 years, and the eastern boundary of the state was not definitely established until 1861, while the northern boundary was not finally established until 1883.
Rhode Island was one of the original thirteen states.
According to estimates and censuses taken prior to the first Federal census, In
1790,the population of the colony of Rhode Island at different dates was as follows:
1658(estimate),1,200; 1663(estimate),2,000; 1675(estimate),3,000; 1689(estimate),
5,000; 1708 (census), 7,181; 1730 (census), 17,935; 1742(estimate), 30,000; 1748(census), 32,773; 1755 (census), 40,414; 1774 (census), 59,707; 1776 (census), 55,011; 1782
(census), 52,391.

1910 was urban or rural, as the case may be,is taken as the basis,and
the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing effect on

comparisons which would arise from the passage, for example, of
communities formerly classed as rural into the urban group. These
two distinct forms of comparison are made in Table I of Chapter 2
for the state as a whole and for each county separately for the last
two Federal censuses.

It will be noticed from this table that during the first
half century the growth of the state was irregular and
comparatively slow, the absolute increase in population for the 50 years from 1790 to 1840 being only
40,005, or 58.1 per cent. During the next 10 years,
1840-1850,the increase was 38,715,or 35.6 per cent,the
highest rate of increase in population that the state has
shown at any Federal census. Since 1860 the growth
in population has been regular and substantial, the
rates of increase ranging from 24 to 27.2 per cent. The
absolute increase of the last decade, 1900-1910,
exceeded the total absolute increase during the 70 years
from 1790 to 1860.
It is a notable fact that in the last 20 years the population of Rhode Island has increased more rapidly
than that of the United States. In the earlier
decades,from 1790 to 1840, the rate of increase for the
state was much less than that for the country as a
whole. From 1840 to 1890 the differences between
the rates of increase for the state and those for the
country as a whole were comparatively small, except
foithe decade 1850-1860. The population of the state
in 1910 was almost eight times as large as in 1790,when
the First Census was taken, while the population of
the United States in 1910 was more than twenty-three
times that in 1790.

In 1790 Rhode Island had 6.8 per cent of the total
of New England,which was 1,009,408. One

gate population of 6,552,681 in the New England
States, Rhode Island was represented by 8.3 per cent.
Since the First Census was taken the population of the
New England States has multiplied more than six
times, while that of Rhode Island has multiplied almost
eight times.
-Rhode Island has six cities.
Principal cities.
Providence, which is the largest, has a population of
224,326, and Pawtucket, the second city, has a population of 51,622. The population of the other four
cities ranges from 21,107 to 38,125. There is also,
one town in the state which has slightly over 25,000
inhabitants.
The table on page 569 shows the population of the
cities of Rhode Island, and of Warwick town, at each
Federal census since their incorporation as independent
communities, so far as figures are available, together
with the increase during each decade.
Of the places included in this table Cranston shows
the highest percentage of increase during the last decade, namely, 58.2 per cent, and Newport the lowest,
21 per cent.
Providence has grown continuously, though at

widely varying rates, since the First Census. The
largest absolute increase in the population of the city
was during the last decade, while the largest relative
increase was during the decade from 1840 to 1850.
From 1790 to 1880 the increase in population was
98,477; since 1880 the increase has been 119,469.

Counties.
-Rhode Island has five counties. The
Population of these counties ranges from 17,602 in
Bristol County to 424,353 in Providence County.
There have been no changes in the territorial boundaries of the counties since 1900.
Providence County, the area of which is slightly
more than two-fifths that of the entire state, contains
nearly four-fifths of the population. From 1890 to
1900 its rate of increase was greater than that for any
other county, but during the past 10 years its rate of
growth has been exceeded by that of Bristol County,
the rates of increase for these two counties being 29.1
and 33.9 per cent, respectively. During the past
decade the population of these counties has increased
more rapidly than the population of the state as a
whole, which, as before stated, showed a percentage
of increase of 26.6. The rates of growth shown by
the remaining counties since 1900 are less than the
rate shown for the state as a whole. Washington
County had the smallest rate of increase, 3.3 per cent.
During the past decade each county in the state has
shown a greater rate of increase in population than
during the decade from 1890 to 1900.
A map on page 571 shows the increase in the total
Population of each county of Rhode Island during the
last decade, the different rates of increase being indicated by differences in shading.
Density of population.
-The total land area of the
state is 1,067 square miles. The average number of
persons to the square mile in 1910 was 508.5; in 1900
and 1890 it was 401.6 and
323.8, respectively. The
average number per square mile for the United States
as a whole in 1910
was 30.9. Rhode Island is and


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

has been since the formation of the Union the most
Ittnsely populated state.
The density of population is shown by counties in
Table I of Chapter 2 and in a map on page 571.
Providence County, with 430 square miles, is the
largest county, and it also has the highest density,
namely, 986.9 persons per square mile. Washington
County, with 76.7 persons per square mile, has the
lowest density.
Minor civil divisions.
-The political divisions into
which counties are subdivided are collectively termed
"Minor civil divisions." In Rhode Island the counties
are divided into 38 primary divisions, of which 32 are
towns and 6 are cities. Villages are not incorporated
as such in this state.
Urban and rural population compared.
-The table at
the top of page 570 presents the population of Rhode
Island at the Federal censuses of 1910, 1900, and
1890, respectively, distributed among cities and towns
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 it existed at each census.
The population of the state classified as urban
is contained in 6 cities and 19 towns. More than
two-thirds of the urban population was in the 4 cities
and 1 town of 25,000 inhabitants or more, these places
having a combined population of 367,851, or 67.8 per
cent of the total population. The rural territory of
the state consists of 13 towns of less than 2,500
inhabitants.

the cities and
524,654 inhabitants, or 96.7, per cent of the
contained
total population, while 17,956 inhabitants, or 3.3 per
cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory as
it existed in 1900-that is, the cities and towns then
having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 407,647
inhabitants, or 95.1 per cent of the total population,
while 20,909 inhabitants, or 4.9 per cent,lived in rural
territory. There has 'thus been a slight increase in
the proportion of urban population. For the United
States as a whole the urban population constituted
46.3 per cent of the total population in 1910 and 40.5
per cent of the total population in 1900.
A comparison of thefiguresfor 1910,1900,and 1890,a
given in the above table,shows anincreasein the proportion ofthe populationin the combined groupscomprising
cities and towns of 25,000 inhabitants or more,namely,
from 46.2 per cent in 1890 to 56.7 per cent in 1900 and
67.8 per cent in 1910. A decrease has taken place in
the proportion of the population in the groups made
up of the smaller urban communities taken as a whole,
and in each group separately, except that the yropordon living in cities and towns having from 5,000 to
10,000 inhabitants increased between 1900 and 1910.
Rural territory also shows a decrease in its proportion
of the total population.
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 basis and the aggregate population in 1910 and in 1900 of the same places
is then compared. Thus, as shown in the next table,
the total population in 1910 of those cities and towns
which at that time had 2,500 inhabitants or more was
524,654; in 1900 the total population of these same
places was 411,679. It may be noted that the latter
figure exceeds the total population in 1900 of those
places which at that time had over 2,500 inhabitants
each, 407,647 (see table above), by 4,032. This difference is due to two things: First, three towns having
less than 2,500 inhabitants each in 1900, with a corn-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

bined population of 6,634, had more than 2,500 'inhabitants in 1910; and second, one town having 2,602
inhabitants in 1900 had only 2,324 inhabitants in 1910.
The comparison of the total population in 1910 of
places having a population of not less than 2,500 each
with the total population of the same places in 1900,
as given in the following table, shows an increase of
27.4 per cent. During the same period the rural population, comprising that of the remainder of the state,
increased 6.4 per cent. Urban population thus increased somewhat more rapidly than that of the state
as a whole2 and more than four times as rapidly as the
population classified as rural. For the United States
as a whole urban population increased 34.9 per cent
in the last decade and rural population 11.2 per cent.
For the state as a whole the population classified as
urban is still further distributed in the following table,
which shows, for 1910 and 1900, the population of the
city of Providence, the combined population of the
other places .having 25,000 inhabitants or more in
1910, and of the cities and towns having from 2,500 to
25,000 inhabitants, respectively, and the population
of the remainder of the state.

From this table it appears that the city of Providence and the group of other places having 25,000
inhabitants or more increased a little more rapidly,
and the group of places having from 2,500 to 25,000
inhabitants a little less rapidly during the last decade,
than the state as a whole, while the rate of increase in
rural territory was less than one-fourth the rate for
the state.
It also appears from this table that of the total
increase in the population of the state during the
decade, namely, 114,054, more than seven-tenths was
in places of over 25,000 inhabitants.

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.—The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of Rhode Island by counties and
minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the
density of population, and the proportions urban and
rural, the present chapter deals with the composition
and characteristics of the population. The two chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes.
Description of the tables.—The greater part of this
chapter consists of five general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage, sox, citizenship, illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings and
families, as follows: Table I for the state and counties; Table II for the four cities and one town of
more than 25,000 inhabitants; Table III for the cities
and towns of 10,000 to 25,000; Table IV for towns of
2,500 to 10,000; and Table V for wards of the two
cities of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 15)
reproduces from the general tables the more important state and city totals, and presents also certain
additional data relative to state of birth, age, and
marital condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the statistics on each subject are shown according to race,
and for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parent-.
age, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either foreign
born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage—that is, having both
Parents born in the United States; (2) native, foieign
parentage--having both parents born abroad; (3)
native, mixed parentage--having one parent native
and the other foreign born; (4) foreign born. As the
second and third classes do not differ 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, it is desirable
that the two classes be distinguished in presenting
census data. The Bureau of the Census has undertaken to do this by classifying as urban all incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more. In New


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

England, however, where many villages of considerable
size are not separately incorporated, it was deemed
best to classify also towns of 2,500 or more inhabitants
as urban, although this classification is not very satisfactory because such towns generally include more or
less population that is essentially rural.
The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had
attended any kind of school at any time between
September 1, 1909, and the date of enumeration, April
15, 1910. The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate
any person 10 years of age or over who is unable to
write, regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).—Of the total population of Rhode Island, 159,821, or 29.5 per cent, are
native whites of native parentage; 194,646, or 35.9
per cent, are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage; 178,025, or 32.8 per cent, are foreign-born whites;
and 9,529, or 1.8 per cent, are negroes. The corresponding percentages in 1900 were 33.8, 32.7, 31.2,
and 2.1, respectively, the comparison indicating a
considerable decrease in the proportion of native
whites of native parentage. Of the five counties,
Washington is the only one in which this latter class
represents as much as one-half of the population.
Foreign-born whites constitute more than one-third
of the population of Providence and Bristol Counties.
(See also maps on page 587.)
Of the urban population, 28.2 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 66.2 per cent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of
foreign or mixed parentage are 36.5 and 16.6 per cent,
respectively. The percentage of foreign-born whites
is 33.4 in the urban population and 14.6 in the rural.
Sex (Table 2).—In the total population of the state
there are 270,314 males and 272,296 females, or 99.3
males to 100 females. In 1900 the ratio was 96.5 to
100. Among native whites the ratio is 97.1 to 100;
among foreign-born whites, 103.6 to 100. In the urban
population there are 98.9 males to 100 females, and
in the rural, 110.5.
State of birth (Tables 3 and 4).—Of the native population—that is, population born in the United States
73.5 per cent were born in Rhode Island and.26.5 per
cent outside the state; of the native negro population,
52.8 per cent were born outside the state. Persons
born outside the state constitute a larger proportion
of the native population in urban than in rural
communities.

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

-Of the
Foreign nationalities (Tables 5 and 12).
foreign-born white population of Rhode Island, persons
born in Canada represent 23.5 per cent (those of French
parentage,19.1, and all others,4.4); Ireland,16.7;England, 15.6; Italy, 15.3; Russia, 5.5; Sweden,4.2; Scotland, 3.5; Austria,374; Portugal,3.4; Germany,2.5; all
other countries,6.4 per cent. Of the total white stock of
foreign origin, which includes persons born abroad and
also natives having one or both parents born abroad,
Canada contributed 23.7 per cent (French stock, 19.6,
and all others, 4.1); Ireland, 23.7; England, 14.4;
Italy, 11.5; Russia, 4; Sweden, 3.5; Scotland, 3.3;
Germany, 3; Portugal, 2.8; Austria, 2.4 per cent.
-The total numVoting and militia ages (Table 6).
ber of males 21 years of age and over is 163,834, representing 30.2 per cent of the population. Of such
males, 29.6 per cent are native whites of native parentage, 22 per cent native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage, and 46.3 per cent foreign-born whites. Of
the 75,899 foreign-born white males of voting age,
32,040, or 42.2 per cent, are naturalized. Males of
militia age-18 to 44-number 125,213.
-Of the total population,
Age (Tables 7, 8, and 13).
10 per cent are under 5 years of age, 17.6 per cent
from 5 to 14 years, inclusive, 19.5 per cent from 15 to
24, 32 per cent from 25 to 44, and 20.8 per cent 45
years of age and over. The foreign-born white population comprises comparatively few children, only 7.1
per cent of this class being under 15 years of age,
while 74 per cent are 25 years of age and over. Of
the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 31.8
per cent are 25 and over, and of the native whites of
native parentage, 54.4 per cent.
The urban population shows a larger proportion of
persons in the prime of life than does the rural, 32.1
per cent of the former being from 25 to 44 years of age,
inclusive, and 28.6 per cent of the latter. There is also
a higher percentage of children under 15 in urban communities than in rural (27.6 as compared with 25.5).
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
persons of school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years, inclusive-is 148,102, of whom 90,328, or 61 per cent,
attended school. In addition to these, 3,861 persons
under 6 and 2,053 of 21 and over attended school. For
boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 61.7; for girls, 60.2. For children
from 6 to 14 years, inclusive, the percentage attending
school was 88.8. The percentage for children of this
age among native whites of native parentage was 91.2;
among native whites of foreign or mixed parentage,89;
among foreign-born whites, 82.4; among negroes, 87.7.
(See Table I.) Urban and rural communities show
about the same percentage of school attendance for
the ages from 6 to 14, but for persons from 15 to 20
years, the percentage is considerably higher in rural
communities.
Illiteracy (Table 10).
-There are 33,854 illiterates
in the state, representing 7.7 per cent of the total population 10.years of age and over, as compared with
8.4 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

1.3 among native whites, 17.3 among foreign-born
whites, and 9.5 among negroes.
Owing to the relatively large proportion of foreignborn whites in urban communities, the percentage of
illiterates for all classes combined is higher in the
urban than in the rural population;for each class separately, however,the percentage is higher in the rural.
For persons from 10 to 20 years, inclusive, whose
literacy depends largely upon present school facilities
and school attendance, the percentage of illiteracy
is 3.1. (See Table I.)
Marital condition (Tables 11 and 14).
-In the population 15 years of age and over, 40.1 per cent of the
males are single and 35.8 per cent of the females.
The percentage married is 54 for males and 52.2 for
females, and the percentage widowed 5 and 10.9,.respectively. The percentages of those reported as divorced, 0.6 and 0.8, respectively, are believed to be
too small, because of the probability that many divorced persons class themselves as single or widowed.
That thp percentage single is smaller for women
than for men is due largely to the fact that women
marry younger. Thus 5.6 per cent of the females from
15 to 19 years of age are married, as compared with
0.7 per cent of the males, and 36.3 per cent of the
females from 20 to 24 years are married, as compared
with 19 per cent of the males. In the next age group,
25 to 34 years, the difference is not so great, the percentages being 64.9 for females and 59.8 for males,
while in the age groups 35 to 44 and 45 and over a
larger percentage of males than of females are married. That there is a larger proportion of widows than
of widowers may indicate that men more often remarry
than women, but, since husbands are generally older
than their wives, the marriage relationship is
more
often broken by death of the husband than by death
of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the percentages of married persons among those 15 years of
age and over are as follows: Foreign-born whites,
63.5
for males and 61.6 for females; native whites of native parentage, 54.3 and 50.1, respectively;
native
whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 37.8 and
40.5,
respectively; negroes, 53 and 49.9.
These percentages by no means indicate the relative tendency of the several classes as regards
marriage. To determine that, the comparison should be
made.by age periods, since the proportion married
in
any class is determined largely by the proportion who
have reached the marrying age. Similarly, the
proportion widowed depends largely on the proportion
past middle life. The percentage married is slightly
higher for males and decidedly higher for females in
rural than in urban communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of dwellings in Rhode Island is 79,725, and the total number
of families 117,796, there being 147.8 families to each
100 dwellings. (See Table I.) The average number
of persons per dwelling is 6.8, and the average number
per family, 4.6.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—This chapter presents a complete
statement of the statistics of agriculture for Rhode
Island collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of
farms 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.farmed 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
any 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 census definition, is a person who directs the operations of a farm.
Hence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according to the
character 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 census
reports as "part owners," the term "owners" 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, : one-half, one-third, or one-quarter; (2) share-cash
a9
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 are conducting farm operations for the
owner for wages or a
salary.
Farm land.—Farm land
is divided into (1) improved land, (2)
ocpand, and (3) all other unimproved land. The same classi_ cation 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

r


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation,land lying fallow,land in gardens, orchards,
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 unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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
were unable to make 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 duplication
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 products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
Rhode Island ranks forty-eighth in area and thirtyeighth in population among the states and territories of
continental United States. Wherever the soils are sufficiently retentive of moisture to permit it, trucking is
replacing general farming, owing to the proximity
of great manufacturing centers. Agriculturally the
state may be divided into the Narragansett Basin,
the Glaciated Highlands, and Block Island.
The Narragansett Basin consists of a gently rolling
glacial plain from which rise low, rounded hills. It is
nowhere more than 3 miles wide and forms, roughly,
about one-third of the state. Its prevailing soils
are silty or fine sandy barns, but sandy and gravelly
barns also occur and include the chief trucking soils
of the state. The Glaciated Highlands consist of
rough, stony hills 100 to 800 feet above the sea level,
.broken with rivers which have no alluvial bottoms.
It is on the summits of these hills that the agricul.• tural soils of the northwestern and western twothirds of the state are principally found. The numerous lakes of this section are usually bordered by coarse
sand or stony soils, though many of them are sufficiently filled by vegetable accumulations to constitute swamps. The soils of Block Island are almost

entirely of glacial origin, but are somewhat finer in
texture than those found in the hilly sections of the
state.
The two maps on the opposite page show by counties the proportion of the total land area which is in
farms and the average value of farm land per acre.
Almost two-thirds of the total land area of the state is
farm land. The first map shows that in every county
of the state between 60 and 80 per cent of the land
area is in farms. ,The proportion is lowest in the
northern county, where 60.4 per cent of the area is
farm land, and highest in the southern county, in
which the proportion is 72.7 per cent. The average
value of farm land per acre for the whole state is
$33.86, but that there is wide variation in values
among the counties is evident from the second map.
The average value per acre is highest in Bristol County,
where it is $97.21, and lowest in Washington County,
where it is only $15.63.
Progress during the decade 1900 to 1910.—The following table summarizes for the state the more significant
facts relating to population and land area, the number, value, and acreage of farms, and the value of all
other farm property in 1910 and 1900:

I A minus sign(—)denotes decrease

Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase of
114,054, or 26.6 per cent, in the population of the
state, a decrease of 206, or 3.7 per cent, in the number of farms, and a decrease of 12,294 acres, or 2.7
per cent, in the acreage of farm land. Since the
relative decrease in number of farms was greater
than that in the acreage of farm land, the average
size of farms increased 0.9 acre.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings,
implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

animals, poultry, and bees), has increased in value
during the decade over $6,000,000, or 22.2 per cent.
This increase is made up of increases of $3,219,000
in the value of buildings, $1,588,000 in the value of
land, and $1,194,000 in the value of farm equipment,
including implements and machinery and live stock,
of which amount over half represents the increase in
the value of live stock. In considering these increases
the general increase in the prices of all commodities
in the last 10 years should be borne in mind.

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

The average value of a farm with its buildings and
equipment is $6,234, as compared with $4,909 in
1900. The average value per acre of land alone
rose during this period from $29.46 to $33.86, and
this advance was accompanied by increases in the
average values per farm of buildings, of implements
and machinery, and of live stock.

In the 60 years since 1850 the population of the
state has increased from 147,545 to 542,610; in other
words, it has much more than trebled.
At each census, except that of 1880, the number
of farms reported has been almost the same, varying
only from 5,292 in 1910 to 5,500 in 1890. The
census of 1880, however, showed a very much greater
number, namely, 6,216.
The land surface of Rhode Island is approximately
682,880 acres. Of this area, 443,308 acres, or 64.9
per cent, are included in farms. Of the farm acreage,
178,344 acres, or 40.2 per cent, are reported as
improved land, representing 26.1 per, cent of the
total land area of the state. The total acreage of
farm land decreased 2.7 per cent during the last
decade. The relative decrease in the reported acreage of improved land during the last decade was
greater than that in the total acreage of farms, the
percentage of farm land which is improved being
somewhat lower at the present census than in 1900.
The proportion of the total land area of the state
which was occupied by farms has decreased continuously since 1850, except for a slight increase
reported in 1880. In 1850, 81.1 per cent of all land
was in farms; in 1910 the percentage is only 64.9.
The proportion of farm land which is improved

1870 to 1890, decreased very considerably in the

The relative gain in the total value of farm property
from 1900 to 1910 is greater than for any other decade
since 1850, with the exception of that ending in
1880. Of the total increase during the past decade,

In average size the Rhode Island farm is at present
19.1 acres smaller than in 1850. From 1850 to 1880
the average decreased from 102.9 to 82.8 acres, but
since 1880 there have been slight fluctuations, and the

1880. During the last decade there was an increase
of 0.9 acre.
The average value of a Rhode Island farm,including
its equipment, is $6,234. Of this amount, $5,278 is
the value of land and buildings, $619 that of live stock,
and $337 that of implements and machinery. In 1900
the average value of a farm with its equipment was
only $4,909. It will be seen that the increase in value
in the last decade was almost as great as the increase
during the preceding half century. During the last
decade the average value of land and buildings
increased $12.25 per acre, or more than three-fifths as
much as during the preceding half century. The value
per farm of equipment, which includes implements and
machinery and live stock, is more than two and onehalf times as great as 60 years ago.

It will be seen that,'in 1910, 71.8 per cent of all
land in farms was in farms operated by their owners
(including part owners), 10 per cent in farms operated
by managers, and 18.2 per cent in farms operated by
tenants, the percentage •for owners and for tenants
being lower and that for managers higher than in 1900.
As shown by the table below, the average size of
farms operated by managers in 1910 (177 acres)
was more than twice as great as that of farms operated by tenants (84.5 acres), which was in turn somewhat larger than that of farms operated by owners
(77.9 acres). The average size of farms operated by
managers and by tenants increased between 1900 and
1910,while that of farms operated by owners decreased.
In 1910 the percentage of farm land improved was
highest for farms operated by tenants and lowest for
those operated by managers.

Farms decreased 206 in number during the last
decade, those operated by owners and managers
decreasing only 52, and those operated by tenants

3 Per cent of combined total of "free from mortgage" and "mortgaged."

In 1910 the total number of farms owned in whole
or in part by the operators was 4,087. Of this number,
2,811 were reported as free from mortgage; 1,180 were
reported as mortgaged; and for 96 no report relative
to mortgage indebtedness was obtained. The number
of mortgaged farins constituted 29.6 per cent of the
total number of owned farms, exclusive of those for
which no mortgage report was obtained. The percentage is only slightly larger than it was in 1900,
which in turn was considerably greater than in 1890.
It may be noted that the percentages given for the
three censuses are comparable, but that the number of
mortgaged and unmortgaged farms reported in 1890
is not entirely comparable with the numbers reported
at the later censuses, because at the census of 1890 the
farms for which no reports were secured were distributed between the two classes of mortgaged and unmortgaged farms. It can be seen, however, that from
1890 to 1910 the number of farms free from mortgage
decreased considerably while there was a large increase
in the number of mortgaged farms.
The statement of mortgage debt and of the value of
mortgaged farm property is restricted to the farms of
those farmers who own all of their land and report the
amount as well as the fact of indebtedness. Of the
1,180 farms reported as mortgaged, 1,099 are wholly
owned by the farmers, and for 1,001 of these the
amount of mortgage debt is reported. Only these
last-mentioned farms are included for 1910 in the
next table, which presents data relating to mortgaged
farms for 1910 and 1890. In this connection it should
be noted that in 1890 the amount of mortgage debt
of farms with incomplete reports was estimated according to the percentages and averages obtained from
farms with full reports, but that no such estimate is
here made for 1910. The table gives a comparative
statement of the value of mortgaged farms owned
entirely by their operators and the amount of indebtedness, together with the average value of such farms,
the average debt per farm, and the average equity per

The average debt of mortgaged farms decreased in
20 years from $1,525 to $1,355, or 11.1 per cent, while
the average value of such farms rose from $3,581 to
$4,084, or 14 per cent. Thus the owner's equity increased from $2,056 to $2,729, or 32.7 per cent. As a
result of the increase in farm value and the decrease
in farm debt, the mortgage indebtedness, which represented 42.6 per cent of the value of the farm in 1890,
had decreased to 33.2 per cent of this value in 1910.

Not quite one-fourth, or 23.9 per cent, of the total
number of farms in the state are between 50 and 99
acres in size. This is the largest group of farms shown
in the above table. The next largest group consists
of the 20 to 49 acre farms, which constitute 21.6 per
cent of the total. Somewhat less numerous are the
farms between 100 and 174 acres, constituting 17.9
per cent of the total. These three groups thus contain
almost two-thirds of the total number of farms in the
state. About 10 per cent of the total number of
farms are 175 acres or over. The balance, about 26 per
cent, are under 20 acres in size. A study of the distribution of farms by size groups discloses the fact that
in the last decade there has in general been an increase
in the number of farms comprising less than 100 acres
and a decrease in the number of larger farms. The
greatest gain in number from 1900 to 1910 was made
in farms 3 to 9 acres in size. The number of places
"under 3 acres" reported as farms is less than half as
great as 10 years ago. This decrease may be due to a

different interpretation by the enumerators as to what
to include as a small farm, or may represent an actual
decrease in that type of farm. A decrease is shown
far each group of farms falling between 100 and 499
acres, the aggregate decrease being 167, or 10.4 per
cent. The increase in farms which exceed 500 acres
in size is 13, or 21 per cent, but such farms constitute
only 1.4 per cent of the total number.
The following table shows the total and improved
acreage and the value of land and buildings for farms
of various size groups, consolidating into one group the
farms of less than 20 acres (numbering in all 1,377),
and also the farms of between 175 and 499 acres (numbering 487):

to farm acrettge on small than on large farms, the average value of land and buildings per acre of land generally diminishes with the increase in the size of the
farms; it is very much higher for the farms under 20
acres in size than for those of any other group. Many
of the small farms in Rhode Island are primarily
places of residence of wealthy persons, with expensive
buildings, and many others are highly improved truck
farms.

Horses are reported from 77.7 per cent of all farms
in the state, but only 1.3 per cent report colts born in
1909, and only 0.2 per cent report spring colts. The
average value of mature horses is reported at $149.59.
Less than 1 per cent of the farmers report mules,
asses, or burros.
Of all farms,31.5 per cent report swine,and show an
average of over 8 per farm reporting. The average
value of the swine reported as "hogs and pigs born
before January 1, 1910," is $12.07, while that of spring
pigs is more than one-third as much.
Sheep and lambs are reported from 242 farms, or 4.6

LIVE STOCK
The returns for live stock products obtained at the
F.ensus 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.

PRODUCTS.
The number of farms reporting dairy cows on April
15, 1910, was 3,932, but only 3,438 reported dairy
products in 1909. That there should be this difference is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers 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 which made any report of milk produced
during 1909 was 3,185 (somewhat less than the total
number reporting dairy products), and the number of
dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1910, was 20,011.
The amount of milk reported was 10,442,000 gallons;
assuming that there were the same number of cows in
1909 as in 1910, this would represent an average of 522
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.
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, cream,
and butter fat sold and the reported value of butter
and cheese made, whether for home consumption
or for sale. The total thus obtained for 1909 is
$2,066,000, which may be defined as the total value of
dairy products exclusive of milk and cream used on
the farm producing.
About five-sixths of the milk produced in Rhode
Island in 1909 was sold as such. The amount of milk
and cream sold on the butter fat basis was small. The
butter made on farms in 1909 was valued at $104,000.

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

598

Comparisons are made between 1909 and 1899 for
but few of the census items relating to dairy products,
for the reason that in 1899 estimates were made for
farms with incomplete reports, which was not done at
the census of 1910. The figures for milk produced and
milk sold are particularly affected, but those for butter and cheese are approximately comparable. The
table shows a material decrease between 1899 and 1909

The total number of sheep of shearing age in Rhode
Island on April 15, 1910, was 4,206, representing a decrease of 36.6 per cent as compared with the number
on June 1, 1900 (6,629). The approximate production
of wool during 1909 was 4,000 fleeces, weighing 24,000
pounds, and valued at $7,000. Of these totals about
one-sixth represents estimates. The number of fleeces
produced in 1909 was 36.2 per c'ent less than in 1899.
The average weight per fleece in 1909 was 5.5 pounds,
as compared Wi th 5.2 pounds in 1899, and the average
value per pound was 28 cents, as compared with 25
cents in 1899.
-Although 49

farmers reported 106 goats and kids on their farms
April 15, 1910, only 1 reported the production of goat
hair or mohair during 1909.
Farmers should be able in general to report the production of
wool more accurately than that of dairy products. There were,
however, 84 farmers who reported the possession of 891 sheep of
shearing age on April 15, 1910, without reporting any wool produced
in 1909. Probably in a large proportion of cases this failure was due
to the fact that they did not have these sheep, or did not occupy
the same farm, during the preceding year. The returns of farms
reporting wool in 1909 but no sheep of shearing age on April 15, 1910,
would partially make up this deficiency, but it is believed that in
many cases enumerators, having found that a farm had no sheep in
1910,omitted the inquiry as to wool produced in 1909 and thus missed
more or less wool actually produeed. It is a fairly safe assumption
that the entire production of wool in 1909 bore the same relation to
the entire number of sheep of shearing age on April 15, 1910, as the
production of wool on those farms reporting both production and
sheep bore to the number of sheep reported on such farms. Statistics for this group of farms are given in the table, and the total wool
product, estimated on the basis of the above assumption, is also
given.

The total number of fowls on Rhode Island farms on
April 15, 1910, was 415,000. Of the 4,341 farms reporting fowls, 485 did not report any eggs produced
in 1909 and 648 did not report any poultry raised in
1909. The production of eggs actually reported for
the year 1909 was 2,729,000 dozens, valued at $800,000.
According to the Twelfth Census reports the production
of eggs in 1899 was 3,217,000 dozens, the value being
$657,000. The latter figures, however, are somewhat
in excess of the actual returns at that census, because
they include estimates made to cover those cases where
the schedules reported fowls on hand without reporting
the production of eggs. In order to make the returns
for 1909 comparable with those published for 1899 similar estimates have been made, the method of estimate
and the justification therefor being substantially the
same as in the case of wool. The total production of
eggs in 1909, including these estimates, was 2,894,000
dozens, valued at $849,000. The total production of
poultry in 1909, including estimates made on the same
basis as for eggs, was 602,000 fowls, valued at $482,000.
Honey and wax: 1909.-Although,as noted elsewhere,
285 farms reported 1,267 colonies of bees on hand April
15, 1910, 110 of these farms, with 304 colonies on hand
April 15, 1910, made no report of honey or wax produced in 1909. The actual returns show the production of 14,221 pounds of honey, valued at $2,904, and
185 pounds of wax, valued at $55; tho true totals
are doubtless somewhat above these figures.

farms $166,000, making an aggregate of $747,000.
This total, however, involves considerable duplication, resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals
which had been purchased by the farmers during the
same year.
The value of the cattle (including calves) sold
during 1909 represented about 80 per cent of the total
value,of animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the receipts from
the sale of all domestic animals raised on the farms
reporting and the total value of those slaughtered
during 1899, which amounted, respectively, to $157,000 and $143,000. The item of sales is not closely
cornparable with that for 1909, when the inquiry
covered all sales whether of animals raised on the
farms reporting or elsewhere. It is believed, however,
that in many cases the returns for 1899 also included
receipts from sales of animals not actually raised on
the farms reporting.

Summary: 1909 and 1899.
-The following table
summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing one
Year with the other it should be borne in mind that
acreage is on the whole a better index of the general

changes or tendencies of agriculture than either the
quantity or the value of the crops, since variations
in quantity may be due largely to temporarily favorable or unfavorable climatic conditions, and variations
in the value of the crops are largely affected by
changes in prices. (See also discussion of "Total

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

600

The general character of Rhode Island agriculture
is indicated by the fact that only 9.6 per cent of the
total value of crops in 1909 was contributed by cereals,
while one-third (33.3 per cent) was contributed by
hay and forage, over one-fourth (26.6 per cent) by
potatoes and other vegetables, and nearly one-sixth
(16.1 per cent) by flowers and plants and nursery
products. The remainder, representing in value about
14 per cent of the total, consisted mostly of forest
products, and of fruits and nuts.
The total value of crops in 1909 was 29.5 per cent
greater than that in 1899, this increase being due in
large measure to higher prices. There was a decrease
of 8.9 per cent in the total acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported, this being due largely to the
decrease in the acreage of hay and forage.

The leading crops covered by the table, in the order
of their importance as judged by value, are hay and
forage, $1,310,000; potatoes, $408,000; and corn,
$336,000. It should be noted, however, that vegetables, other than potatoes and sweet* potatoes and
yams, statistics for which are reported in another table,
are more important than potatoes or corn.
The value of the hay and forage crop is nearly three
and one-half times the combined value of the cereals.
The value of potatoes is over 8 per cent greater than
that of the cereals. Corn is the only cereal of any
importance. Among the hay and forage crops,

"timothy and clover mixed" ranks first, "timothy
alone," second, and "other tame or cultivated

There has been a marked decline in the acreage of
each crop included in the above table. The acreage
of corn decreased 34.3 per cent during the first decade
of the 30-year period, since which time it has increased,
and is at the present time a little more than fourfifths as great as in 1879. Notwithstanding a slight
increase in the acreage of oats during the last decade,
the acreage in 1909 was less than a third that of 1879.
The acreage of hay and forage has declined over 40
per cent, and the acreage of potatoes nearly 20 per
cent, within the period covered by the table.
The following table shows for 1909 and 1899 the

Fifty-five in every 100 Rhocle Island farmers grow
corn and 9 in every 100 grow oats, while only 3 in 100
grow rye, and only 1 in 100 grows barley. Seventyfive in every 100 raise potatoes and 86 in every 10
0
grow hay and forage. The acreage of corn is greatest
in Washington County; that of oats in Newport
County; and that of hay and forage in Providence
County.
The average value per acre of the combined cereals
is $31.05, corn alone ranking above this figure, the
other cereals below it. The average value per acre of
hay and forage is a little more than two-thirds that of
the cereals. The average value per acre of potatoes Is
nearly three times that of the cereals.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
The reported production of corn is exaggerated to a
slight extent, because some enumerators report baskets
of ear corn as bushels of corn. On this account the
figures here given may be revised in later census
reports.

Orchard fruits, grapes, nuts, and tropical fruits: 1909
and 1899.
-The following table presents data with regard to orchard fruits, grapes, nuts, and tropical fruits.
The acreage devoted to these products was not ascertained. In comparing one year with the other the
number of trees or vines of bearing age is on the
whole a better index of the general changes or tendencies than the quantity of product, but the data for
the censuses of 1910 and 1900 are not closely comparable, and the product is therefore compared, although
variations may be due largely to temporarily favorable
or unfavorable climatic conditions.

contributed about seven-eighths of this quantity;
peaches and nectarines and pears most of the

1909, whether used on farm, sold, or on hand April

received from sale of standing timber in 1909."
There were 2,346 farms in Rhode Island (44.3 per cent
of all farms in the state) which reported forest products in 1909, the total value of such products being
$312,022, as compared with $195,472 in 1899, an

orchard fruits, however, increased from $156,000 in
1899 to $198,000 in 1909, and that of grapes from
$4,736 in 1899 to $9,759 in 1909. It should be noted
in this connection that the values for 1899 include the
value of more advanced products derived from orchard
fruits or grapes, such as cider, vinegar, dried fruits,
and the like, and may therefore involve some duplication, while the values shown for 1909 relate only to
the products in their original condition.
The following table shows the quantities of the
more advanced products manufactured by farmers
from orchard fruits and grapes. Values were not

Farm expenses: 1909 and 1899.—The following table

labor, feed, and fertilizer at the census of 1910, as well
as the sums expended in 1909 and 1899:

Not reported at the census of 1900.

About two-thirds of the farmers of the state hired
labor, the average amount expended by those hiring
being about $500 for the year. Approximately onefifth of the amount reported as expended is in the
form of rent and board. During the decade the total
expenditure for labor increased 70.6 per cent. At
prior censuses no tabulation was made of the number
of farmers reporting expenditures for labor.
Over four-fifths of all Rhode Island farmers report some expenditure for feed, while more than


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

three-fifths report the purchase of fertilizer. The
amount paid for fertilizer is about $71,000 in excess
of the amount expended in 1899, an increase of
26.9 per cent. The average amount paid by those
farmers who bought fertilizer is about $100 per farm.
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 sales as well as the
production of the more important feedable crops (that
is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock). The following

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES. AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of Rhode Island for the
calendar year 1909, 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It also presents tables in
Which the statistics for the industries of the state as a
whole and for a few important industries are classified
by character of ownership,size of establishments, number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of. 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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 the number
of establishments and of persons engaged in the incluse
tries, primary power, capital, salaries and wages, cost
of materials, value of products, and value added by
manufacture reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries (1) for the state as a
whole and (2) for the cities of Providence and Pawtucket. It also gives the same items for all industries
combined for every city and town having in 1910 a
Population of over 10,000 but less than 50,000.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for
Providence and Pawtucket for all industries combined
and selected industries, and for each city having
from 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants for all industries
combined.
Scope of census: Factory industries.—Census statistics of Diannfactures are compiled primarily for the purpose of showing the
absolute and relative magnitude of the different branches of indus!IT covered and their
growth or decline. Incidentally, the effort
! made to present data throwing light upon character of organiza!
1
tion, location of establishments, size of establishments, labor force,
nosdsinlilar subjects. When use is made of the data for these purap es, it is imperative that due attention should be given to the
tations of the figures. Particularly is this true when the
a__ttellipt is made to derive from them figures purporting to show
4
wi ge wages, cost of production, or profits. These limitations
T
be fully
discussed in the general report on manufactures for the
united States as a whole.
The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory system, as dis-


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

tinguished from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries.
Where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced to a
comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of industries.
The census does not include establishments which were idle during
the entire year, or had a value of product of leas than $500, or the
manufacturing done in educational eleemosynary, and penal institutions, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4) clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups: (1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and
(609) .

610

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

managers, and clerks. In the present census an entirely different
grouping is employed: That into (1) proprietors and officials, (2)
clerks, and (3) wage earners. The first group includes proprietors
and firm members, salaried officers of corporations, and superintendents and managers.
•
At this census the number of persons engaged in the industries,
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 canning, 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 of wage earners the average is
obtained in the manner explained in the next paragraph.
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. From these figures 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 perform 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 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.
In particular, totals by sex and age for the wage earners reported
for the representative day would be misleading because of the undue
weight given to seasonal industries, in some of which, such as canning and preserving, the distribution of th9 wage earners by sex
and age is materially different from that in most industries of more
regular operation. In order to determine as nearly as possible the
sex and age distribution of the average number of wage earners in
the state as a whole, the following procedure has been adopted:
The percentage distribution by sex and age of the employees
in each industry, for December 15, or the nearest representative
day, has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that
date. This percentage has been applied to the average number
of employees for the year in that industry, to determine the average
number of men, women,and children employed. These calculated
averages for the several industries have been added up to give the
average distribution for the state as a whole.
In 1899 and 1904 the schedule called for the average number of
wage earners of each sex 16 years and over, and the total number
under 16 years of age, for each month, and these monthly statements were combined in an annual average. Comparatively few
manufacturing concerns, however, keep their books in such way as
to show readily the number of men, women,and children(under 16)
employed each month. These monthly returns by sex and age
were, in fact, largely estimates. It was believed that a more accurate and reliable sex and age distribution could be secured by taking as a basis of estimate the actual numbers employed on a single
day.
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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

followed in each establishment. Occasional variations in hours in
an establishment from 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 earners 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 figures 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:
The 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 taken at the amounts
carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact
should be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or
buildings is owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should
be so stated and only the value of the owned property given. Do
not include securities and loans representing investments in other
enterprises.
Materials.—Cost of materials refers to the materials used during
the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased
during the year. The term materials 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, or power, or for the process of manufacture.
Experises.—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 allowances
for depreciation.
Value of products.—The value of products for any industry
includes the total value of all products manufactured in establishments whose prbducts of chief value fall under the industry
designation. The amounts given represent the selling value at
the factory of all products manufactured during 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 manufacture.—The 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 is 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 different classes of industry is the value created as the result of
the manufacturing 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 obtained is termed
in the census reports "value added by manufacture."
There 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 establishmentand used as materials in another is duplicated, and the total,
therefore, gives a greatly exaggerated idea of the wealth created.
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 caleulated, 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 such 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

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
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.
Laundries.
-The census of 1909 was the first to include statistics
of laundries. The reports are confined to establishments using

611

mechanical power. The data are presented separately and are not
included in the general total for manufacturing industries, in order

to avoid interference with comparisons with prior censuses.
Custom gristmills and sawmills.
-In order to make the statistics
for 1909 comparable with those for 1904 the data for these mills

have been excluded from all the tables presenting general statistics,
and are given in a separate table at the end of this chapter.

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.
-Rhode Island, with a
gross area of 1,250 square miles, of which 197 represent
water surface, is the smallest state in the Union. Its
Population in 1910 was 542,610, as compared with
428,556 in 1900 and 345,506 in 1890. It ranked
thirty-eighth among the 49 states and territories as
regards population in 1910 and thirty-fifth in 1900.
Nmety-six and seven-tenths per cent of the entire
Population of the state resides in incorporated cities
and towns having a population of 2,500 inhabitants
or over, as against 95.1 per cent in 1900.
The state has nine cities and towns having a population of over 10,000: Providence, with a population of
224,326; Pawtucket, with 51,622; Woonsocket, with
38,125; Newport, with 27,149; Warwick, with 26,629;
Central Falls, with 22,754; Cranston, with 21,107;
East Providence, with 15,808; and Cumberland, 'with
10,107. In density of population Rhode Island far
outranks all other states in the Union, having 508.5
persons per square mile, the corresponding figure for
1900 being 400.7. The transportation facilities are
excellent, Providence, the largest city, being one of
the most important seaports in New England, which,
together with the fact that the state is traversed by
the main line of the most important railway system in

New England, gives it direct and adequate connection
with the other parts of the country.
Importance and growth of manufactures.
-Rhode Island
is preeminently a manufacturing community, and the
growth and concentration of population in the state
have been closely related to the increase in the importance of its manufacturing industries. During 1849
an average of 20,967 wage earners, representing 14.2
per cent of the total population, were employed in
manufactures, while in 1909 an average of 113,538
wage earners, or 20.9 per cent of the total population,
were so engaged. During this period of 60 years the
gross value of products per capita increased from $150
in 1849 to $517 in 1909. From 1849 to 1904, however,
the proportion which the manufactures of the state
represent of the total value of the products of manufacturing industries in the United States decreased
somewhat. This proportion was 2.2 per cent in 1849
and 1.4 per cent in 1904; the proportion for 1909 is
not yet available.
The following table gives • the most important
figures relative to all classes of manufactures combined
for the state as returned at the censuses of 1909, 1904,
and 1899, together with percentages of increase from

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of Rhode Island as a whole
showed a greater development during the more recent
five-year period, 1904-1909, than during the preceding
five-year period, 1899-1904. During the later period
the number of establishments increased 20.7 per cent
and the average number of wage earners 16.7 per cent,
while the value of products increased 38.7 per cent and
the value added by manufacture 36.9 per cent. As
pointed out in the Introduction, it would be improper
to infer that manufactures increased in volume during the period 1904-1909 to the extent indicated by
these figures regarding values, since the increase shown

is certainly due,in part, to the increase that has taken
place in the prices of commodities.
It is a matter of interest to note that the percentages
of increase shown for wages, value of products, and
value added by manufacture are considerably larger
than those for the number of establishments and average number of wage earners. The only decrease shown
in the table is that in the number of establishments
during the period 1899-1904, amounting to 3.6 per
cent.
The relative importance and growth of the leading
manufacturing industries of the state are shown in the

It should be borne in mind,in considering this table,
that the value of products in some of the industries
involves a certain amount of duplication due to the
use of the product of one establishment in the industry
as material for another establishment.
The dyeing and finishing of textiles is the most
important of the industries included under the head
of "All other industries." It covers the bleaching,
dyeing, and mercerizing of raw fiber, yarns, and woven
cloth, as well as the printing of cotton piece goods. A
considerable number of the cotton, wool, and silk mills
in the same establishment combine one or more of
these subordinate processes with their manufacture;
therefore the statistics for the independent establishments engaged in dyeing and finishing do not fully
represent the statistics for the industry. It is of
interest, however, to know that there were 45 of these
independent establishments reported at the census of
1909, compared with 37 in 1904. The average number of wage earners employed was 7,792 and 7,562,


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

respectively, for the two census years. Measured by
value of products, this industry, with 813,955,700 in
1909, ranked fifth, compared with other industries of
the state. In 1904 Rhode Island, with products
valued at $9,981,457, was the third state in the Union
in this class of manufacture, New Jersey being first and
Massachusetts second.
In addition to the 20 industries presented separately and dyeing and finishing textiles, there are 21
industries which had a value of products in 1909 ul
excess of $500,000. They are included under the
head of "All other industries" in the table, because in
some cases the operations of individual establishments
would be disclosed if they were shown stparately; in
others, because the returns do not present properly the
true condition of the industry, for the reason that it IS
more or less interwoven with one or more other industries of similar character; while for others, comparable
.
statistics for the different census years can not be
presented on account of changes in classification.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
These industries are: Automobiles, including bodies
and parts; baking powders and yeast; rubber boots
and shoes; dyestuffs and extracts; files; men's furnishing goods; grease and tallow; steel works and
rolling mills; iron and steel, bolts, nuts, washers, and
rivets, not made in steel works or rolling mills; cottonseed oil and cake;oleomargarine; paper goods, not
elsewhere specified; rubber goods, not elsewhere specified; wood screws; shipbuilding; soap; sporting and
athletic goods; washing machines and clothes wringers;
waste; and wire. The 1909 statistics, however, for the
manufacture of men's furnishing goods, paper goods,
and rubber goods, and for the shipbuilding industry
are presented in Table II, page 630.
Although a few industries predominate greatly in
importance, it will be seen from Table II that there is
on the whole considerable diversity in the manufacturing activities of the state. The most important
industries listed in the table given above,in which they
are arranged in the order of the value of products, call
for brief consideration.
Textiles.—The textile industry of the state—consisting of the manufacture of woolen and worsted goods;
cotton goods, including cotton small wares; silk and
silk goods, including throwsters; and hosiery and knit
goods—is by far the most important branch of manufacture. Combined, the four allied branches gave employment to 57,169 wage earners on the average during the year, and the value of their products amounted
to $133,363,000, these figures representing. 50.4 per
cent and 47.6 per cent, respectively, of the totals for
all industries in the state. Rhode Island ranks fourth
among the states in the production of cotton goods,
third in woolen and worsted goods, sixth in silk and
silk goods, and eleventh in hosiery and knit goods.
Manufactures from precious metals.—The manufacture of jewelry is allied closely with the production
of silverware and plated ware, and the reduction and
refining of gold and silver from sweepings, clippings,
and scrap. These three industries combined employed
an average of 11,887 wage earners and turned out products valued at $31,325,000. In 1905 Rhode Island led
all other states in the manufacture of jewelry.
Foundry and machine-shop products.—The number
of establishments engaged in this industry and the
degree of their activity in any community are usually
a fair index of the extent and prosperity of its manufactures. The industry was really of greater importance in the state than is indicated by the statistics,
as some machine shops manufactured a distinctive
product and were assigned to other classifications.
A number of the most important establishments are
engaged in the manufacture of textile machinery.
Electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies.—The
establishments engaged in this industry are devoted
Primarily to the production of insulated wires and
cables, incandescent lamps of carbon filament, and
electric-lighting fixtures.

The four groups of industries considered in the immediately preceding paragraphs held the same relative
rank when measured by value added by manufacture
as when measured by value of products. Treating the
industries individually, however, considerable change
is noted in their order when ranked according to value
added by manufacture. Cotton manufacture displaces woolen and worsted goods from first place, and
the foundry and machine-shop industry exchanges
places with jewelry. Silverware becomes fifth in
order instead of electrical machinery, which drops to
eighth place. Printing and publishing and malt
liquors become sixth and seventh, respectively, while
silk manufacture falls to eleventh place, and gold
and silver, reducing and refining, not from the ore,
drops to twentieth place.
This table shows also the percentages of increase for
these leading industries in respect to value of products
and value added by manufacture. The cotton industry showed a greater rate of increase from 1904 to
1909 in value added by manufacture than any other of
the specified industries, namely, 67.1 per cent, while
during the same period the silk industry showed the
greatest rate of increase in value of products, 79.3 per
cent. The foundry and machine-shop, jewelry, and
woolen industries also showed remarkable increases
both in gross value of products and in value added by
manufacture.
Two of the specified industries, marble and stone
_work and flour-mill and gristmill products, showed a
decrease in value of products both from 1899 to 1904
and from 1904 to 1909, while all the others showed an
increase for both periods. Three industries showed
a decrease in value added by manufacture from 1904
to 1909, while four showed a decrease from 1899 to
1904.
Persons engaged in manufacturing industries.—The
following table shows the distribution of the number
of persons engaged in manufactures, the average
number of wage earners being distributed by sex
and age. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the sex and age classification of the average number of wage earners in this and other tables is an
estimate obtained by the method described in the

SUPPLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND.

The average number of persons engaged in manufactures during 1909 was 122,641. Of these, 113,538
were wage earners. Of the remainder, 4,109, or 45.1
per cent, were proprietors and officials, and 4,994, or
54.9 per cent, clerks. Corresponding figures for individual industries will be found in Table II.
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 13 important industries individually.

The following table shows, in percentages, for all
industries combined, the distribution of the average
number of wage earners, by age periods and sex,
calculated in the manner described in the Introduction. It also shows, for some of the important industries separately, the percentage distribution, by
age periods and sex, of wage earners as reported for
December 15, or the nearest representative day. As
a means of judging the importance of the several
industries, the average total number employed for the
year is also given in each case.

Of the total number of persons engaged in all
manufacturing industries, 3.4 per cent were proprietors and officials, 4.1 per cent clerks, and 92.6 per
cent wage earners. The highest percentage of proprietors and officials shown for any individual industry, 26.1, is for the establishments engaged
in reducing and refining gold and silver from sweepings, clippings, and scrap; measured by number of
persons engaged, the establishments in this industry
are generally small. In the bakery and the printing
and publishing industries the majority of the establishments are also small and the work is done to a
large extent by the proprietors or their immediate
representatives, so that the proportion of persons
engaged in these industries falling in the class of proprietors and officials is very much higher than for
most other industries or for all industries combined.
The high percentage shown for the slaughtering and
meat-packing industry is due to the fact that a number of the establishments classified under this head
are small establishments Qngaged exclusively in the
manufacture of sausage.
On account of the large average number of wage
earners to an individual establishment in the cotton,
woolen, and silverware industries, these industries
show the smallest proportion of proprietors and
officials.

1 For method of estimating the distribution, by sex and age periods, of the
average number in all industries combined, see Introduction.

For all industries combined, 63.6 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males over
16 years of age; 32.3 per cent, females over 16
years of age; and 4.1 per cent, persons of both sexes
under the age of 16. The larger part of the total
number of female wage earners is made up of those
employed in the textile industries. In the cottongoods industry over two-fifths of the employees are
women over 16 years of age, in the hosiery and knitgoods industry the proportion is nearly three-fourths,
in the silk industry over one-half, and in the woolen
and worsted industry over two-fifths. Th.e manufacture of electrical machinery, apparatus, and supplies, and the jewelry industry, also show a large proportion of female wage earners, 39.1 per cent and
40.6 per cent, respectively. If the four textile industries are excluded, females over 16 employed in all
industries combined represent 20.6 per cent of the
total number of wage earners.
The four textile industries combined also include
the larger part of the total number of wage earners
under 16 years of age. The proportions of such employees engaged in each industry were as. follows:
Cotton goods, 6 per cent; hosiery and knit goods, 7 per
cent; silk and silk goods, 3.2 per cent; and woolen
and worsted goods, 6.2 per cent.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
In order to compare the distribution of persons
engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at
the census of 1904 it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison
according to occupational status:

615

ployed increased. There has not been much change
in the proportion of male and female wage earners.
In 1909 males 16 years of age and over formed 63.6 per
cent of all wage earners, as compared with 63 per cent
in 1904 and 62.7 per cent in 1899.

Wage earners employed, by months.
-The following
table gives the number of wage earners employed
on the 15th of each month during the year 1909, for
all industries combined, for the cotton-goods,foundry
and machine-shop, jewelry, and woolen and worsted
goods industries, and for all other industries combined;
it gives also the percentage which the number reported
for each month is of the greatest number reported
for any month. In Table II, page 630, is shown, for
each industry in the state, the largest number and
also the smallest number of employees reported for
any month. The number for each month relates to
the 15th day, or the nearest representative day, of
the month.

Comparable figures are not obtainable for 1899.
The table shows a greater percentage of increase in the
salaried employees than in the other two classes.
The following table shows the average number of
wage earners, distributed according to age periods, and
in the case of those 16 years of age and over according
to sex, for 1909, 1904, and 1899. The averages for
1909 are estimated on the basis of the actual number
reported for a single representative day. (See Introduction.)
This table indicates that for all industries combined
there has been a decrease during the 10 years in the
employment of children under 16 years of age, although
from 1899 to 1904 the total number of children em-

There are no seasonal industries of importance in
Rhode Island which give employment to a large number of persons at certain periods of the year only.
On the contrary, all of the more important industries
show comparatively little fluctuation in the number
of Wage earners employed. Among the industries covered by the above table the greatest variation is shown
In the foundry and machine-shop industry, in which

the smallest number, 9,301, were employed in the
month of January. The number increased constantly
from month to month, however, to the end of the year,
when 12,678 were employed, a difference of 3,377 from
that at the beginning of the year. In the cotton mills
the greatest activity was in December and the next
greatest in November. The smallest number were employed in August, but represented a difference of only

850, or 2.9 per cent, from the largest number. In the
woolen mills September was the month when the most
wage earners were employed, while the fewest were employed in January. April was the month of least
activity in the jewelry industry and November and
December the months of greatest activity.
Prevailing hours of labor.
-In the following table
wage earners have been classified according to hours

of labor prevailing in the establishments in which
they are employed. In making this classification
the average number of wage earners employed during
the year is used, and the number employed in each
establishment is classified as a total according to the
hours prevailing in that establishment, even though
some few employees work a greater or less number
of hours.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
In 1909, 80.7 per cent of the total value of products
was reported from cities and towns having over
10,000 inhabitants, and 80.3 per cent of the average
number of wage earners were employed in such cities
and towns. The figures indicate that while very
little relative change took place during the last 5 or
10 years, yet on the whole the industries of the manufacturing cities and larger towns have gained very
slightly on those of the districts outside during the
last decade.
The group of cities and towns having between 10,000
and 25,000 inhabitants consisted in 1910 of Central
Falls, Cranston, Cumberland, and East Providence,
and those having between 25,000 and 100,000 inhabitants comprise Newport, Pawtucket, Warwick, and
Woonsocket. Providence is the only city having
more than 100,000 inhabitants.
The population in 1900 was used as the basis in
making the classification for 1904 as well as 1899. The
increase in the population of different cities has affected
the grouping in the table. In 1900 Newport and Warwick were in the first group, but during the following
decade the population of each increased so that both
now fall in the second group. Prior to 1910 Cumberland had less than 10,000 inhabitants, and so was
not included in that group.
The first group shows a proportional loss and the
second group a gain in 1909, as compared with 1904,
While the manufacturing industries of Providence
Show a slight decrease in relative importance, although
a decided absolute gain was returned for all items.
Of the total value of products reported for the state
in 1909, 10 per cent was reported from the four cities
and towns of the first group, 27.8 per cent from the
four cities and towns of the second group, and 42.9
per cent from Providence alone.
The relative importance of each of the nine cities
!laving a population of 10,000 or over in 1910 is shown
in the following table, in which the value of products
and average number of wage earners are shown separately for 1909, 1904, and 1899:

ever, were generally greater from 1904 to 1909. The
greatest gain, 243.2 per cent, was made by Cranston,
and was due in part to the establishment of such new
industries as the manufacture of automobiles,of foundry
and machine shops, and of street-railway repair shops.
The next largest increase, 64.7 per cent, is shown for
Cumberland, and was due mostly to the increased production of the cotton mills of that town. Manufacturing in Newport was practically at a standstill
from 1904 to 1909, as there was scarcely any change
in the value Of products and a decrease in the average
number of wage earners. The totals presented for
Newport do not include the statistics for the naval
torpedo station in that city, operated by the Federal
Glovernment. In 1909 this plant employed an average of 270 wage earners and turned out products
valued at $471,712.
Providence, the largest and most important city
in the state, shows an increase in 1909, as compared
with 1904, of $28,259,621, or 30.7 per cent, in value of
products, and 6,577, or 16.5 per cent, in the average
number of wage earners. The relative importance of
Providence as a manufacturing city is indicated by
comparing it with the leading cities of the United
States. This comparison shows that when ranked
by value of products it was seventeenth both in 1899
and 1904 About one-fourth of the total value of the
textile products of the state was reported from this
city. Practically all of the establishments of the
state engaged in manufactures from the precious
metals were in Providence, 98.4 per cent of the value
of products of these industries being credited to this
city. All of the establishments engaged in "gold and
silver refining, not from the ore," and in the production of silverware and plated ware were located here.
Seventy and three-tenths per cent of the total value
of the foundry and machine-shop products of the
state was reported from Providence.
Pawtucket, Woonsocket, and Warwick still maintain their importance in the manufacture of textiles,
these industries contributing 53.4, 70.5, and 77.8 per
cent, respectively, of the total value of products of
these places. In Woonsocket the woolen mills are
the most important textile establishments, while in
Pawtucket and Warwick cotton mills predominate.
Character of ownership.—The table that follows has for
its purpose the presentation of conditions in respect
to the character of ownership, or legal organization, of
manufacturing enterprises. For all industries combined comparative figures are given covering the censuses of 1909 and 1904. Comparative data for 1899
are not available. Figures for 1909 only are presented
for several important industries. In order to avoid
disclosing the operations of individual concerns it is
necessary to omit several important industries from
this table and the one following.

Less than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

The most important distinction shown is that between corporate and all other forms of ownership.
For all industries combined, 33.8 per cent of the total
number of establishments were in 1909 under corpo-

rate ownership, as against 66.2 per cent under all
other forms. The corresponding figures for 1904
were 31.7 per cent and 68.3 per cent, respectively. In
respect to value of products the difference was even
more pronounced, for in 1909 the establishments
operated by corporations reported 86.8 per cent of the
total value, as against 13.2 per cent for those under all
other forms of ownership, while in 1904 the corresponding figures were 78.3 per cent and 21.7 per cent, respectively. The greatest relative decrease from 1904
to 1909 is shown for establishments operated by firms,
which represented only 16.9 per cent of the total number of establishments in 1909, as compared with 21.5
per cent in 1904.
-The tendency for manufacSize of establishment.
turing 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 and for important
industries separately as measured by number of wage
earners, value of products, and value added by manufacture. The totals for all industries are shown for
the last two censuses, while for certain important industries figures are given for 1909 only.
This table shows that, in 1909, of the 1,951 establishments only 69, or 3.5 per cent, had a value of
products exceeding $1,000,000. These establishments,
however, had an average number of wage earners of
49,126,or 43.3 per cent,of the total number in all establishments, and reported 48.3 per cent of the total
value of products and 44.7 per cent of the total
value added by manufacture.
On the other hand, the very small establishments
that is, those having a value of products of less than
$5,00.0-constituted a very considerable proportion
(24.4 per cent) of the total number of establishments, but the value of their products amounted to
only four-tenths of 1 per cent of the total. The
great bulk of the manufacturing was carried on in
establishments having a product valued at not less
than $100,000.
It will be seen from the table that during the five
years from 1904 to 1909 there was a considerable
increase in the relative importance of the largest
establishments-those reporting products of not less
than $1,000,000 in value-and a decrease in that of
all other classes.
The fact that the average value of products per
establishment increased from $124,990 to $143,692,
and the value added by manufacture from $55,187 to
$62,610, can scarcely be taken as in itself indicating a
tendency toward concentration. The increased values
shown may be, and probably are, due in part to the
increase that has taken place in the prices of commodities. The average number of wage earners per establishment decreased by two.

Includes the group "$1,000,
000 and over."

In some respects, and especially from the standpoint of conditions under which persons engaged in
naanufactures 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 next table shows such a classification for all industries combined and for 13 important
industries individually, and gives not only the number of establishments falling into each group but also
the average number of wage earners employed.
The per cent distribution of the number of estabhshinents is not shown in the table; of the 1,951
establishments reported for all industries, 8.1 per cent
employed no wage earners; 38.1 per cent, 1 to 5;
23.2 per cent, 6 to 20; and 11.1 per cent, 21 to 50.
The most numerous single group consists of the 744

next, of the 452 establishments employing from 6 to
20 wage earners. There were 117 establishments that
employed over 250 wage earners; 15 employed over
1,000, of which 5 were cotton mills and 4 woolen mills.
Of the total number of wage earners, 61.2 per cent
were in establishments employing over 250 wage earners. The single group having the largest number of
employees was the group comprising the establishments employing from 251 to 500 wage earners. This
group employed 25,828 wage earners, or 22.7 per cent
of the total. The individual industries listed in this
table, but not in the preceding one, namely, electrical
machinery, hosiery and knit goods, silk, and silverware and plated ware, are all industries in which comparatively large establishments do most of the business,
as appears from the classification according to the
number of wage earners.

The foregoing table shows, 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 II.
This table shows that, for all industries combined,
65.3 per cent of the total expenses were incurred for
materials, 27.2 per cent for services-that is, salaries
and wages-and but 7.5 per cent for other purposes. As
would be expected, these proportions vary greatly in
the different industries.
Engines and power.
-The next table shows, for all
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 censuses of 1909, 1904, and 1899. It also shows
separately the number and horsepower of electric
motors, including those operated by current generated
in the manufact
\uring establishments.

The table indicates that the increase in primary
power was in power generated by steam and gas
engines and water wheels, that generated by water
motors and the forms of owned power included under
the head of "Other" showing a decrease. The more
general use of gas engines is shown, the number of such
engines reported being 100 in 1909, as against 63 in
1904 and 43 in 1899. The figures also show that the
practice of renting power is on the increase, 7.4 per
cent of the total power being rented in 1909, as against

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects,
by means of special schedules, details regarding the
quantity and value of materials and products and
the number and classes of machines used in manufactures which do not appear on the general schedule.
Certain data of this character for five important industries in Rhode Island are here presented.
Textiles.
-The progress of the textile industries is
indicated by the increase in the number of spindles,
looms, knitting machines, and other equipment. The

The total number of producing spindles shows an
increase from 1904 to 1909 of 347,022, or 13.9 per cent;
the number of looms an increase of 17,263, or 27 per
cent; the number of knitting machines an increase of
499, or 42.6 per cent; and the number of combing
machines an increase of 167, or 56.8 per cent; while
the number of sets of cards decreased 44, or 6.6 per
cent. The gains for producing spindles and for looms
were much greater than the gains shown for the fiveyear period 1899 to 1904, which were 5.9 per cent and
25.6 per cent, respectively. The cotton mills made the
largest gain in absolute number of spindles,the increase
being 277,887, or 13.3 per cent; this industry also
reported by far the largest number of spindles,
2,363,689. About one-fifth as many spindles were
used in the woolen and worsted mills, and tile increase
was 79,753,or 21 per cent. The knitting mills and the
silk mills each used fewer spindles in 1909 than in 1904.
The number of looms used in the cotton mills increased
15,309, or 28.3 per cent; in the woolen mills 1,149, or
14.2 per cent; and in the silk mills 805, or 47.2 per
cent.
Woolen and worsted goods.1-This industry in the state,
which consists exclusively of the manufacture of woolen
The title of this industry in the tables, being uniform for all
states, is "Woolen, worsted,and felt goods,and wool hats," but in
Rhode Island only woolen and worsted goods are made.

and of worsted goods, dates from 1804, when the first
woolen mill was started at Peacedale. It ranks first
among the manufacturing industries of tile state both
in cost of materials and in value of products, and second
in value added by manufacture.
The quantity and cost of the materials reported for
this industry in 1909, 1904, and 1899, by kinds, are

Both the quantity and the cost of the foreign wool
used more than doubled from 1904 to 1909, while from
1899 to 1904 there was a decrease of 549,263 pounds in
quantity, although there was an increase of $208,658
in cost. Of all wool consumed in 1909, 73.5 per cent
was domestic, representing 67.9 per cent of the total
cost of this material, while in 1904 the proportions
were 85.9 per cent and 81.6 per cent, respectively. A
decrease is shown in the quantity and cost of the cotton
consumed. The most conspicuous gains shown for
any materials not made in the mill were for tops and
for worsted yarns. For tops increases of 6,256,762
pounds in quantity and $5,431,904 in cost were reported, and for worsted yarns increases of 3,020,616
pounds in quantity and $3,917,500 in cost. Shoddy,
wool and other waste and noiLs, and woolen, merino,
silk, and spun-silk yarns all show decreases in quantity
and cost, but cotton yarn shows a decrease in quantity
only.

Silk and silk goods, including throwsters.-The third
industry in importance among the textile industries
of Rhode Island in respect to value of products is the
manufacture of silk and silk goods. The first silk
mill reported in the state was at the census of 1879.
The recent development of this branch of the textile
industries has been more rapid than in the case of
any other of the textile group. In value of products it
has displaced hosiery and knit goods in rank since 1904.

The relative increase in the use of raw silk from
census to census is the most noteworthy feature of
this table. There has been an increase of 221,218
pounds in the quantity of this class of material reported and of $994,011 in its cost since 1904. While
there has been far more cotton than woolen or worsted
yarn used, the increase in the use of the latter material has been proportionally greater than that in the
use of the former.
A detailed statement of products can not be shown
without disclosing the operations of individual establishments. The principal product, however,consisted
of silk-mixed, piece-dyed broad silks. In 1909 no silk
was thrown for other establishments under contract,

while in 1904 a total of 88,000 pounds was thrown
68,000 pounds into organzine and 20,000 pounds into

Hosiery and knit goods.
-This industry has been carried on in the state at least since 1870, when three
mills were in operation. Its real growth, however,
began in 1889. While it is the least important of the
textile group in respect to value of products, the
gains have been substantial from year to year.

A conspicuous feature in the development of this
industry is the marked decrease during the last decade
in the quantity of raw cotton and wool consumed.
In 1899, 735,548 pounds of wool and 125,733 pounds
of cotton were used. In 1904 the quantity of wool
had decreased to 559,124 pounds and the quantity of
cotton to 47,000 pounds, while in 1909 only one establishment spun a portion of the yarn knitted. The
material reported for 1909 consists mostly of yarn
spun in other mills. Cotton yarn was the principal
material used, the cost of which formed about onehalf of the total cost of all materials at each of the three
censuses. From 1904 to 1909 decreases are shown in
the amounts of worsted and cotton yarns consumed,
while increases are reported in the case of merino
yarns and of silk and spun-silk yarns.

CHAPTER 5.
MINES AND QUARRIES.
Introduction.—The present chapter contains a complete statement of the statistics of all mining industries, which include all mines and quarries,in the state
of Rhode Island for the year 1909, as shown by the
Thirteenth Census.
A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
mining industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
The explanations here given show the usage of the
mining census generally, though some of the special
rules have obviously no relation to particular states
m which the industries referred to do not exist.

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however, could be furnished only in those
cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and materials_
used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the beginning and
at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from
general among mine operators, and there is reason to believe that in
many cases the reported cost of supplies and materials covered all
purchased during the year rather than those used during the year.
The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for

CHAPTER 1.
NUMBER OF INHABITANTS.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the population of
Vermont, by counties and minor civil divisions, as
enumerated at the Thirteenth Census, taken as of
April 15, 1910, with comparative statements of population where possible, and a statement and discussion
for the state as a whole of the population living in
urban and in rural territory. The statistics are given
m detail in two general tables.
Table 1 (p. 572) shows the population of Vermont,
distributed according to counties and minor civil divisions, at the last three censuses, namely, those of
1910, 1900, and 1890. The arrangement of counties
and of the primary divisions in each county is
alphabetical. The figures for secondary divisions are
printed in italics. The changes in boundaries, name,
or form of organization. that have taken place since
1900 are indicated in the footnotes to the table. For
changes between 1890 and 1900 reference must be
made to the census report of 1900.
Table 2 (p. 574) shows all cities, towns having in
1910 over 2,500 inhabitants, and incorporated villages
In Vermont, alphabetically arranged, with their population in 1910, 1900, and 1890. For incorporated villages there is given in each case, in addition to the
county, the name of the town in which it is located
and of which it forms a part.
The population of Vermont, by counties, at each of
the last five censuses,from 1870 to 1910 inclusive; the
increase during the last two decades; the density of
Population at the census of 1910; and the distribution
of the population at the last two censuses according
to urban and rural districts, are given.in Table I of
Chapter 2.
The tables and text of the present chapter contain
few technical expressions whose meaning is not apparent. The census usage in regard to certain terms is
explained in paragraphs following.
HISTORICAL NOTE—The name Vermont is of French origin and signifies "green
mountain."
Thefirst visit by white men to the territory now covered by thisstate was
probably
Made in 1609, when the French explorer,Samuel de Champlain,discovered
the lake
Which bears his name. The first permanent white settlement was founded in
1724,
When the English built Fort Dummer near the present site of Brattleboro.
The territory now embraced within the limits of Vermont was included
in the
grants conveyed by the first charter of Virginia, 1606, the charter of New
England,
1620, and the royal
grants of 1664 and 1674 to the Duke of York. Until 1740 a considerable portion of what is now Vermont had been claimed by the Massachusetts
colony, under the terms of the charter of 1629, which granted it all the lands
lying
"within the space of three English miles to the northward of the * *
* Merrimac,or to the northward of any
and every part thereof," and extending westward
to the Pacific; but in
1740 the present northern boundary of Massachusetts was
established by royal decree.
For some years prior to 1764
New Hampshire contested the claim of New York
to the territory west of the Connecticut
River,on the grounds that the charters of

Density of population.—The density of population of a state or
county is obtained by dividing its total population by the number
of square miles in its land area.
Minor civil divisions.—The counties are divided generally into
smaller political units which bear different designations in the
different parts of the country,such as towns,townships,election precincts,etc. Of these minor civil divisions those which rank next to
the county as geographic areas are termed primary divisions. In
many instances, however,these primary divisions contain political
units of still smaller area,such as incorporated villages or boroughs.
These smaller political units are referred to as secondary divisions.
Urban and rural population defined.—The Census Bureau,
for purposes of discussion, has defined urban population as that
residing in cities and other incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants
or more. In the New England States, in addition to cities
having this population, all towns having a population of over
2,500 inhabitants have also been classed as urban, without regard
to the population of the villages (whether incorporated as such
or not) which they may contain. The result is that the "urban
areas" in New England include some population which in other sections of the United States would be segregated as "rural." This
departure from the general rule, rendered necessary by local conditions in New England, probably makes no great change in the
proportions of urban and rural in those sections where population is
dense and generally devoted to manufacturing. In other sections
a considerable variation doubtless results, but there is no reason to
suppose that it materially affects the distinguishing characteristics
of urban and rural population as defined by census statistics.
Urban population being thus defined, the remainder of the state
or county is classed as rural. In the New England States, therefore,
the rural population consists of the population outside of towns
and cities having over 2,500 inhabitants.
The comparisons of the urban and rural population in 1910 with
that at earlier enumerations may be made either with respect to the
varying proportions of the two classes at successive enumerations
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 preceding census, it is necessary to classify the territory according to the conditions as they existed at each census. In
this comparison a place having less than 2,500 inhabitants in 1900
and over 2,500 in 1910 is classed with the rural -population for 1900
and with the urban for 1910. On the other hand, in order to present fairly the contrast between urban and rural communities, as
regards their rate of growth, it is necessary to consider the changes
1664 and 1674 were obsolete,and that, Massachusetts and Connecticut having
been
allowed to extend their boundaries westward to within about 20 miles
of the
Hudson, New Hampshire should be given the same privilege. The
original
grant of New Hampshire had not included the territory in dispute, and
in 1764
the claim of New York was sustained by royal decree. Nevertheless, the "New
Hampshire Grants," as the country west of the Connecticut was
then called,
remained in dispute between New Hampshire and New York until
the outbreak
of the Revolution.
In January,1777,a convention at Westminster declared the Grants an
independent
state with the name New Connecticut. In June,at an adjourned session,
the present
name was adopted,and in July, at a third session, the constitution
was drafted.
Vermont continued an independent republic until March, 1791.
At that date it
became a member of the Union, being the first state admitted after
the adoption of
the Constitution by the original thirteen states.
In 1781 Vermont had laid claim to territory extending westward to the
Hudson
and a line drawn due north from the source of that river to the internationa
l line,
but in 1790 its boundaries were established substantially as they now
exist.

in population for the same territory which have occurred from one
decennial census to another. For this purpose the territory which
in 1910 was urban or rural, as the case may be, is taken as the basis,
and the population in 1900 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 avoids the disturbing
effect on comparisons which would arise frou. the passage, for
example, of communities formerly classed as rural into the urban
group. These two distinct forms of comparison are made in Table I
of Chapter 2 for the state as a whole and for each county separately for the last two censuses.

TOTAL POPULATION, INCREASE, AND DISTRIBUTION.

Population of the state.—The population of Vermont is 355,956. Compared with a population of
343,641 in 1900, this represents an increase during
the past decade of 12,315, or 3.6 per cent. During
the same period the total population of the United
States increased 21 per cent. The percentage of

increase for the state during this decade, though

comparatively small, is larger than that shown by any
census since 1870.
The following table shows the population of Vermont at each census from 1790 to 1910, inclusive,
together with the increase and per cent of increase
during each decade, in comparison with the per cent
of increase for the United States as a whole.

It will be noticed from this table that for the early
censuses there was a very rapid rate of growth in this
state. During the 20 years from 1790 to 1810 the
absolute increase in population was 132,470, while
during the century which has elapsed since 1810 the
increase has been only 138,061. Between 1810 and
1850 the increase in population was 96,225, or 44.2 per
cent; since 1850 the increase has been 41,836, or 13.3
per cent. The increase in the six decades has not been
evenly distributed, as in three of them the absolute
increase was less than 2,000 persons, and the relative
increase for each of these three decades was less than
1 per cent.
A comparison of the rates of increase for the state
with those for the United States, as given in the
preceding table, shows that the increase for the
whole country during the decade from 1900 to 1910
was almost six times the rate of increase for the state;
and that at every census since 1810 the rate of growth
for the state has been much lower than for the country

When the First Census was taken, in 1790, Vermont
had 8.5 per cent of the total population of New England, which was 1,009,408. In 1810 the New England
States contained 1,471,973 inhabitants and Vermont's
Proportion, after 20 years of rapid growth, was 14.8
per cent. A hundred years later, in 1910, in an aggregate population of 6,552,681 in the New England
States, Vermont was represented by 5.4 per cent of
the whole. In the years that have elapsed since the
First Census was taken, the population of the New
England States has multiplied more than six times,
while that of Vermont has multiplied only a little
more than four times.
The net growth in the population of a state depends
not only upon how many persons are born in it, but
also how many of them remain there, and how many
come in from other places. Migration modifies the
rate of increase which would otherwise prevail, and
while some states gain others lose by this shifting of
the population. Vermont is one of the states which
has lost heavily by migration.
Principal cities.—Vermont has 6 cities, of which the
largest, Burlington, has a population of 20,468, and
the smallest, Vergennes, a population of 1,483. The
aggregate population of the 6 cities is 60,468, or 17 per
cent of the total population of the state.

the cities and towns of 2,500 inhabitants or more
contained 168,943 inhabitants, or 47.5 per cent of the
total population, while 187,013 inhabitants, or 52.5 per
cent, lived in rural territory. The urban territory as
it existed in 1900-that is, the cities and towns then
having 2,500 inhabitants or more-contained 139,180
inhabitants, or 40.5 per cent of the total population,
while 204,461. inhabitants, or 59.5 per cent, lived in
rural territory. There has thus been a considerable
increase in the proportion of urban population. For
the United States as a whole the urban population
constituted 46.3 per cent of the total population in 1910
.
and 40.5 per cent of the total population in 1900.
counties having a larger
Table I of Chapter 2 shows 12
proportion of urban population in 1910 than 1900,
while 2 counties are wholly rural.
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 basis and the
aggregate population in 1910 and in 1900 of the same
places is then compared. Thus, as shown in the next
table, the total population in 1910 of those cities and
towns which at that time had over 2,500 population
was 168,943; in 1900 the total population of these same
places (so far as separately reported) was 148,406.
It may be noted that the latter figure exceeds the
total population in 1900 of those places which at that

time had over 2,500 each, 139,180 (see table above),
by 9,226. The difference is the result of the passage,
between 1900 and 1910, of certain communities from
the rural to the urban class.
In the following table the population for the state
as a whole is distributed so as to show, for 1910 and
1900, the combined population of cities and towns
having in 1910 2,500 inhabitants or more and the
population of the remainder of the state.

The comparison of the total population in 1.910 of
places having a population of not less than 2,500 each
with the total population of the same places in 1900,
as given in the table above, shows an increase of 13.8
per cent. This represents the rate of growth of urban
communities as thus defined. During the same period
the rural population, comprising the remainder of the
state, decreased 4.2 per cent. The population of
urban areas thus increased nearly four times as rapidly as the state as a whole, while the population of
rural territory decreased. For the United States as a
whole urban population increased 34.9 per cent in
the last decade and rural population 11.2 per cent.
As shown by Table I of Chapter 2, there were 12 coma
ties in Vermont in which the population living in
rural territory decreased and 1 county in which there
was a decrease in urban population.

CHAPTER 2.
COMPOSITION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POPULATION.
Introduction.
-The first chapter having given the
number of inhabitants of Vermont by counties and
minor civil divisions, the decennial increase and the
density of population, and the proportions urban and
rural, the present chapter deals with the composition
and characteristics of the population. The two chapters cover all the principal topics of the population
census except occupations and ownership of homes. "
Description of the tables.
-The greater part of this
chapter consists of three general tables, which present
statistics of color, nativity, parentage, sex, citizenship,
illiteracy, school attendance, and dwellings and families, as follows: Table I for the state and counties;
Table II for cities of over 10,000; and Table III for
places of 2,500 to 10,000.
A series of summary tables (numbered 1 to 11)
reproduces from the general tables the more important
state totals, and presents also certain additional data
relative to state of birth, age, and marital condition.
On account of the wide differences in characteristics
among the different classes of the population, the statistics on each subject are shown according to race,
and for the whites according to nativity and parentage.
Classification according to nativity and parentage is
scarcely necessary for the other races, since nearly all
negroes and Indians are native born of native parentage, and nearly all Chinese and Japanese either
foreign born or of foreign parentage.
The white population is divided into four groups:
(1) Native, native parentage-that is, having both
parents born in the United States; (2) native, foreign parentage-having both parents born abroad;
(3) native, mixed parentage-having one parent
native and the other foreign born; (4) foreign born.
As the second and third classes do not differ 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, it is
desirable that the two classes be distinguished in presenting census data. The Bureau of the Census has
undertaken to do this by classifying as urban the
population of all incorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more. In New England, however, where
many villages of considerable size are not separately
incorporated, it was deemed best to classify also towns
of 2,500 inhabitants or more as urban, although this
classification is not very satisfactory because such
towns generally *ludo more or less population that
is essentially rural.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

The census inquiry as to school attendance was
merely as to whether the person enumerated had attended any kind of school at any time between September 1, 1909, and the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910.
The Census Bureau classifies as illiterate any person
10 years of age or over who is unable to write, regardless of ability to read.
Color and nativity (Table 1).
-Of the total population of Vermont, 229,382, or 64.4 per cent, are native
whites of native parentage; 75,055, or 21.1 per cent,
are native whites of foreign or mixed parentage;
49,861, or 14 per cent, aro foreign-born whites; and
1,621, or 0.5 per cent, are negroes. The corresponding
percentages in 1900 were 65.6, 21.1, 13, and 0.2,respectively, the comparison indicating very slight changes
in the color, nativity, and parentage composition of the
population. By counties, the proportion of whites of
foreign birth ranges from 5.9 per cent in Addison to 21.6
in Essex; and the proportion of native whites of foreign
or mixed parentage, from 11.5 per cent in Orange to
28.3 in Chittenden and Essex. (See maps on page
587.) In five counties more than three-fourths of
the population are native whites of native parentage,
and in two,Lamoille and Orange, more than four-fifths.
Of the urban population, 54.3 per cent are native
whites of native parentage; of the rural, 73.6 per cent.
The corresponding proportions for native whites of foreign or mixed parentage are 25.7 and 16.9 per eent,
respectively. The percentage of foreign-born whites is
19.2in the urban population and 9.4 in the rural; the percentage of negroes is 0.8in the urban and 0.1 in the rural.
-In the total population of the state
Sex (Table 2).
182,568 males and 173,388 females, or 105.3
there are
males to 100 females. In 1900 the ratio was 103.9 to
100. Among native whites the ratio is 101.6 to 100;
among foreign-born whites, 127.3. The urban population is about equally divided between the sexes,
while in the rural there are 110.3 males to 100 females.
-Of the total native

population-that is, population born in the United
States-81.8 per cent were born in Vermont and 18.2
per cent outside the state; of the native white population, 17.9 per cent were born outside the state, and
of the native negro, 72.4 per cent. Persons born outSide the state constitute a larger proportion of the
native population in urban than in rural communities.
-Of the foreign-born

gary, 1.1; all other countries, 3.8 per cent. Of the
total white stock of foreign origin, which includes
persons born abroad and also natives having one or
both parents born abroad, Canada contributed 54.4
per cent(French stock,32.4, and all other, 22); Ireland,
15.7; Italy, 5.3; England, 5.1; Scotland, 4.3; Russia,
2.9; Sweden, 1.9; Wales, 1.8; Germany, 1.7; Austria,
1.2; Hungary, 0.5 per cent.
Voting and militia ages (Table 6).
-The total number of males 21 years of age and over is 113,506, representing 31.9 per cent of the population. Of such
males, 61.1 per cent are native whites of native parentage, 17.1 per cent native whites of foreign or mixed
parentage,20.9 per cent foreign-born whites,and 0.9 per
cent negroes. Of the 23,759 foreign-born white males
of voting age, 10,811, or 45.5 per cent, are naturalized.
Males of militia age-18 to 44
-number 73,685.
Age (Tables 7 and 8).
-Of the total population, 9.6
per cent are under 5 years of age, 18 per cent from 5 to
14 years, inclusive, 16.9 per cent from •15 to 24, 28.4
per cent from 25 to 44, and 27 per cent 45 years of
age and over. The foreign-born white population comprises comparatively few children, only 7.8 per cent of
this class being under 15 years of age, while more than
three-fourths (76.9 per cent) are 25 years of age and
over. Of the native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, less than half (46.8 per cent) are 25 and over
and of the native whites of native parentage only a little
more than half (53.7 per cent).
As compared with the rural, the urban population
shows a larger proportion of persons in the prime of
life, 30.6 per cent of the urban population being from
25 to 44 years of age, and 26.6 per cent of the rural.
-The total number of
School attendance (Table 9).
persons of school age-that is, from 6 to 20 years, inclusive-is 94,701, of whom 66,845, or 70.6 per cent,
attended school. In addition to these, 2,768 persons
under 6 and 918 of 21 and over attended school. For
boys from 6 to 20 years, inclusive, the percentage attending school was 69.2; for girls, 72. For children
from 6 to 14 years, inclusive, the percentage attending
school was 92.9. The percentage for children of this
age among native whites of native parentage was
93.1; among native whites of foreign or mixed parentage, 93.3; among foreign-born whites, 89.3; among
negroes,87.6. (See Table I.) There is little difference
between urban and rural communities as regards the
percentage of school attendance, the percentage being
slightly higher in the urban for those from 6 to 14 years
of age and in the rural for those from 15 to 20 years.
Illiteracy (Table 10).-There are 10,806 illiterates
in the state, representing 3.7 per cent of the total population 10 years of age and over, as compared with
5.8 per cent in 1900. The percentage of illiteracy is
13.1 among foreign-born whites, 1.9 among native
whites, and 4.8 among negroes.


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

For all classes combined,the percentage of illiterates
is slightly higher in urban than in rural population, 3.9
as compared with 3.6, but for each class separately
the percentage is higher in the rural.
For persons from 10 to 20 years of age, inclusive,
whose literacy depends largely upon present school
facilities and school attendance, the percentage of
illiteracy is very slight (1.0). (See Table I.)
-In the population 15

years of age and over, 34.3 per cent of the males are
single and 26.4 per cent of the females. The percentage married is 58.5 for males and 60.6 for females,
and the percentage widowed 6.2 and 12.2, respectively.
The percentages of those reported as divorced,0.9 and
0.8, respectively, are believed to be too small, because
of the probability that many , divorced persons class
themselves as single or widowed.
That the percentage single is so much smaller for
women than for men is due largely to the fact that
women marry younger. Thus 9.9 per cent of the females from 15 to 19 years of age are married, as compared with 0.8 per cent of the males; and 49 per cent of
the females from 20 to 24 years are married, as compared with 22.1 per cent of the males. In the next age
group, 25 to 34 years, the difference is not so great,
the percentages being 75.3 for females and 62.7 for
males, while in the age group 35 to 44 the difference
practically disappears. That there is a larger proportion of widows than of widowers may indicate that
men more often remarry than women, but, since husbands are generally older than their wives, the marriage relationship is more often broken by death of
the husband than by death of the wife.
For the main elements of the population the percentages of married persons among those 15 years of age
and over are as follows: Foreign-born whites, 63.6 for
males and 68.6 for females; native whites of native
parentage, 58.8 and 59.6, respectively; native whites
of foreign or mixed parentage, 53.5 and 57.3, respectively; negroes, 23.5 for males and 62.2 for females.
These percentages by no means indicate the relative
tendency of the several classes as regards marriage.
To determine that, the comparison should be made by
age periods,since the proportion married in any class is
determined largely by the proportion who have reached
the marrying age. Similarly, the proportion widowed
depends largely on the proportion past middle life.
The percentage married is slightly higher for males, and
decidedly higher for females, in rural than in urban
communities.
Dwellings and families.
-The total number of dwellings in Vermont is 77,466, and the total number of
families 85,178, there being 109.9 families to each 100
dwellings. (See Table I.) The average number of
persons per dwelling is 4.6, and the average number
per family, 4.2.

CHAPTER 3.
STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE FOR THE STATE AND ITS COUNTIES.
Introduction.—This chapter presents a complete
statement of the statistics of agriculture for Vermont
collected at the census of 1910. Statistics of farms
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.
.Parm.—A "farm" for census purposes is all the land which is
directly farmed 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, enurne;ators were instructed to report as a "farm" any
tract of 3 or more acres used for agricultural purposes, and also
any 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 census definition, is a person who directs the operations of a farm.
rfence owners of farms who do not themselves direct the farm operations are not reported as "farmers." Farmers are divided by the
Bureau of the Census into three general classes according to the
Character 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 census
reports as "part owners," the term "owners" being then restricted
to those owning all their land.
Farm tenants are farmers who, as tenants, renters, or croppers,
°Perate 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-third, or onc-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 are 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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

land includes all land regularly tilled or mowed, land pastured
and cropped in rotation,land lying fallow, land in gardens, orchards,
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 unimproved land includes brush land,
rough or stony land, swamp land, and any other land which is not
improved or 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 definite 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
were unable to make 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 duplication
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 products 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 farmer was not always able to report completely and accurately the products of the land for the preceding
year. It is 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-products sold.

FARMS AND FARM PROPERTY.
Vermont ranks forty-second both in area and in
population among the states of continental United
States. From the standpoint of agricultural development it has long since passed out of the class of states
having a large area of land suitable for cultivation by
current methods and not yet so utilized, and is now
included among the states that utilize for farming
most of the land adapted to that purpose. The surface of the state everywhere is irregular and broken,
because of mountains which divide it into nearly
equal parts. The western part of the state has the
best tracts of arable land.
The two maps on the opposite page show, for the
different counties, the proportion of the total land
area which is in farms and the average value of farm
land per acre. Of the state's entire land area four-

fifths is in farms, and the first map shows that in
every county except Essex at least three-fifths of
the total land area is in farms, while in four counties
the proportion exceeds nine-tenths.
The average value of farm land per acre for the
whole state is$12.52, and,as shown by the second map,
in Grand Isle County the average value exceeds $25
per acre, while in Essex, Orange, Windham, and
Windsor Counties it falls below $10. In all other
counties the average value per acre falls between
$10 and $25.
Progress during the decade 1900 to 1910.—The following table summarizes for the state the more significant
facts relating to population and land area, the number, value, and acreage of farms, and the value of all
other farm property in 1910 and 1900:

Between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase of
12,315, or 3.6 per cent, in the population of the state,
while there was a decrease of 395, or 1.2 per cent, in
the number of farms, and of nearly 61,000 acres, or
1.3 per cent, in the area of farm land. The average
size of the farms was, however, practically the same in
both years.
Farm property, which includes land, buildings,
implements and machinery, and live stock (domestic
animals, poultry, and bees), has increased in value
during the decade nearly $37,000,000, or 34.1 per cent.
This increase is chiefly made up of increases of
$16,945,000 in the value of buildings and of $12,571,000
in the value of land, the latter representing an advance
of 29.1 per cent in average value per acre. There was
also an increase of $7,432,000 in the value of farm
equipment, including implements and machinery and
live stock, of which more than three-fifths represents
a gain in the value of live stock and the remainder the
increase in the value of implements and machinery.

In considering the increase of values in agriculture the
general increase in the prices of all commodities in the
last 10 years should be borne in mind.
The average value of a farm with its equipment in
1900 was slightly under $3,300, while 10 years later it
was a little over $4,400. The average value of land rose
from approximately $10 per acre in 1900 to over 812.50
in 1910, this advance being accompanied by increases
in the average value per farm of implements and machinery and of live stock.
Population, number of farms, and farm acreage:
1850 to 1910.—The next table presents, for the
state as a whole for each census from 1850 to 1910,
inclusive, a statement of the total population, the
number of farms, the acreage of farm land and of
improved land in farms, the percentage of the land
area which was in farms, and the percentage of farm
land improved, and also shows the percentage of increase during each decade in the number of farms and
in the land in farms.

In the 60 years since 1850 the population of the
state has increased by 41,836, or 13.3 per cent.
There was a gradual increase in the number of farms
from 1850 to 1880, the total increase during the 30year period being 5,759. During the 30 years from
1880 to 1910, however, there was a net decrease of
2,813, or an average of nearly 94 per year. The average
decrease during the decade 1900 to 1910 was smaller,
being only 40. In the northwestern part of the state
(Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle Counties) there
has been an appreciable increase in the number of
farms. Elsewhere the number has remained practically stationary or has shown a decrease, the decrease
in no case, however, exceeding 9 per cent.
The land surface of Vermont is approximately
5,839,360 acres in extent. Of this area, 4,663,577
acres, or 79.9 per cent, are included in farms. Of
the farm acreage, 1,633,965 acres, or 35 per cent, are
reported as improved land, representing 28 per cent
of the total land area of the state. The total acreage of farm land decreased 1.3 per cent during the
last decade. The reported acreage of improved land
shows a greater relative decrease from 1900 to 1910
than does the total acreage in farms, the percentage
of farm land which is improved being considerably
lower at the Thirteenth Census than in 1900.
For the longer period covered by the table a gradual
increase from 1850 to 1880 in the total farm acreage and
in the acreage of improved land is shown. The proportion of the total land area of the state which was
occupied by farms rose during this period from 70.7
per cent to 83.6 per cent, while The improved land increased from 63.1 per cent to 67.3 per cent of the total
land in farms. Since 1880, however, the proportion
of land area in farms has decreased until in 1910 it
was 79.9 per cent, though during a portion of the
period—the decade 1890-1900—there was a slight
increase. During the same 30-year period there has
been a continuous decrease in the reported acreage of
improved land, until in 1910 the percentage of total
farm acreage improved was but little more than onehalf as great as in 1880. The decrease doubtless represents a change in the classification of land by many
farmers who now report as "unimproved land" much
acreage which they formerly called "improved."

The total wealth in the form of farm property is
$145,400,000,of which over three-fourths is represented
by land and buildings, 7 per cent by implements and
machinery, and over 15 per cent by live stock. The
total value of farm property increased from 1900 to
1910 by $36,948,000, or 34.1 per cent. Of this increase,
$29,517,000 represents the increase in the value of land
and buildings, $2,630,000 the increase in that of implements and machinery, and $4,801,000 the increase in
that of live stock. The actual and relative gain during the decade from 1900 to 1910 was over five times
as great •as during the decade immediately preceding;
while in the two decades between 1870 and 1890,
decreases in value were reported.

crease of nearly 8 acres, followed by a decrease of onetenth of an acre during the last decade.
The average value of a Vermont farm, including
its equipment, is a little more than $4,400, of which
over $3,400 represents the value of land and buildings,
almost $700 the value of live stock, and over $300
the value of implements and machinery. The average
value of land and buildings has increased $6.56 per
acre during the last decade. An increase also took
Place during each decade between 1850 and 1870,

It will be seen that, in 1910, 81.8 per cent of all land
in farms was in farms operated by their owners
(including part owners), 4.5 per cent in farms operated
by managers, and 13.7 per cent in farms operated by
tenants, the percentages for owners and managers being higher and that for tenants lower than in 1900.
As shown by the next table the average size of farms
operated by managers in 1910 (328.5 acres) was more
than twice as great as that of farms operated by tenants (159.2 acres), which was in turn somewhat larger
than that of farms operated by owners (136 acres).
The average size of farms operated by managers increased greatly from 1900 to 1910, while that of farms
operated by tenants increased slightly, and that of
farms operated by owners showed a small decrease.
In 1910 the percentage of farm land improved was
highest for farms operated by tenants and lowest for
those operated by managers.

is significant that while there was a decrease of
95

decade, an increase of 417 was reported in the number of farms operated by owners and managers and a
decrease of 812 in the number operated by tenants.

Of the total farm acreage of the state in 1910, 46.9
per cent was in farms of 175 to 499 acres, this being
by far the most important size group from the standpoint of total acreage. The farms of 100 to 174 acres
comprised 26.5 per cent of the total acreage. Between
1900 and 1910 there was a considerable increase in the
proportion of the total acreage which was in farms of
500 acres and over.
As shown by the table below, the percentage of
farm land improved steadily diminishes as the size of
the farms increases.

For the reason stated 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 also
diminishes with the increase in the size of the farms,
except that it is somewhat higher for farms of over
1,000 acres than for those of 500 to 999 acres; it is
very much higher for the farms under 20 acres in size
than for those of any other group.
Color and nativity of farmers: 1910.
-Prior to the

of agriculture to secure information concerning the
nativity of farmers. The table which follows shows

Nearly nine-tenths of the Vermont farmers were in
1910 native whites and one-tenth foreign-born whites.
Only 20, or one-tenth of 1 per cent of all farmers,
were negroes. No other nonwhite farmers are reported. It is significant that only 10.8 per cent of
the foreign-born white farmers were tenants, whereas
12.4 per cent of the native white farmers were in
this class.
Of the 3,721 foreign-born white farmers in Vermont
in 1910, 2,463 were born in Canada; 463 in Ireland;
210 in England; 158 in Wales; 118 in Scotland; 102
in Germany;- and 61 in Sweden. Other European
countries were represented by 144 farmers, and nonEuropean countries, other than Canada,by 2.

DOMESTIC ANIMALS, POULTRY, AND BEES.
-The census of
Domestic animals on farms: 1910.
1910 was taken as of April 15 and that of 1900 as of
June 1. Since a great many domestic animals are
born during the six weeks between April 15 and June
1, and on the other hand a considerable number of
older animals are slaughtered or die during the same
Period, the numbers of the different classes of animals
for the two censuses are not closely comparable, and
the same is true in somewhat less degree of the values.
For this reason the figures for 1900 are not presented in
this chapter, but in the general reports of the census the
figures for the several states will be presented and the
extent to which their comparability is affected by the
change in the date of enumeration will be discussed.
The next table summarizes the statistics of domestic animals on farms for the state, recorded as of
April 15, 1910. Cattle and sheep are divided into


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

age and sex groups, while horses, mules, and swine are
presented by age groups only.
Of all the farms in the state, 86.4 per cent report
cattle, 85.4 per cent "dairy cows," and only 22.6 per
cent "other cows." Only 324 farms have cattle without having dairy cows. The total number of cows
increased slightly during the decade, while the average
value of dairy cows increased from $28.65 to $35.89.
The farms reporting dairy cows show an average of
nearly 10 per farm.
The census of 1900 was taken as of June 1, after all
the spring calves were born; while that of 1910 was
taken as of April 15, before the close of the calving
season, and when the calves on hand were on the
average younger than at the enumeration of 1900.
As a result, the calves enumerated were fewer in
number and of lower average value in 1910 than in

1900, the number decreasing from 101,584 to 67,573,
and the average value decreasing from $5.57 to $4.84.
Horses are reported by 86.1 per cent of all the farms
in the state, but only 9 per cent report colts born in
1909, and 0.6 per cent report spring colts. The average value of spring colts is more than one-third, and
that of yearlings slightly over one-half, that of mature
horses, which is $108.79.

Of all farms, 55 per cent report swine, the average

value of the swine, reported as "hogs and pigs born

The total value of all domestic animals in the state
in 1910 was $24,572,000, of which the value of animals
not on farms represented 10.5 per cent. The number
of horses not on farms was nearly one-fourth as great
as the number on farms, but in the case of the other
classes of animals the proportion not on farms was
much lower.

LIVE STOCK PRODUCTS.

The returns for live stock products obtained 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 linimals 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.

The number of farms reporting dairy cows on April
15, 1910, was 27,947, but only 26,636 reported dairy
products in 1909. That there should be this small
difference is not surprising. Doubtless some farmers
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 which made any report of milk
produced during 1909 was 25,433 (somewhat less than
the total number reporting dairy products), and the
number of dairy cows on such farms on April 15, 1010,
was 247,000. The amount of milk reported was
114,317,000 gallons; assuming that there were the
same number of cows in 1909 as in 1910, this would
represent an average of 463 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.
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, cream,
and butter fat sold and the reported value of butter
and cheese made, whether for home consumption or
for sale. The total thus obtained for 1909 is
$12,128,000, which may be defined as the total value
of dairy products exclusive of milk and cream used
on the farm producing.
Considerably less than one-third of the milk produced in Vermont in 1909 was solcl as such. A comparatively large quantity of milk and cream was sold

on a basis of butter fat. The butter made on farms
in 1909 was valued at $4,185,000.
Comparisons are made between 1909 and 1899 for
but few of the census items relating to dairy products,
for the reason that in 1899 estimates were made for
farms with incomplete reports, which was not done at
the census of 1910. The figures for milk produced and
milk sold are particularly affected, but those for butter
and cheese are approximately comparable. The table
shows a material decrease between 1899 and 1909 in
the amount of butter made, and a still greater relative
decrease in the production of cheese.

The total number of sheep of shearing age in Vermont on April 15, 1910, was 84,360, representing a
decrease of 53.7 per cent as compared with the number on June 1, 1900 (182,167). The approximate
production of wool during 1909 was 91,000 fleeces,
weighing 626,000 pounds and valued at $192,000.
Of these totals about 5 per cent represents estimates.
The number of fleeces produced in 1909 was 52.7 per
cent less than in 1899. The average weight per fleece
in 1909 was 6.9 pounds, as compared with 7 pounds
in 1899, and the average value per pound was 31
cents, as compared with 20 cents in 1899.

wool more accurately than that of dairy products. There were,
however, 1,148 farmers who reported the possession of 9,831 sheep
of shearmg age on April 15, 1910, without reporting any wool
produced in 1909.• Probably in a large proportion of cases this
.
failure was due to the fact that they did not have these sheep, or
did not occupy the same farm, during the preteding year. The
returns of farms reporting wool in 1909 but no sheep of shearing age
on April 15, 1910, would partially make up this deficiency, but it is
believed that in many cases enumerators,having found that a farm
had no sheep in 1910, omitted the inquiry as to wool produced in
1909 and thus missed more or less wool actually produced. It is
a fairly safe assumption that the entire production of wool in 1909
bore the same relation to the entire number of sheep of shearing age
on April 15, 1910, as the production of wool on those farms reporting
both production and sheep bore to the number of sheep reported
on such farms. Statistics for this group of farms are given m the
table, and the total wool product, estimated on the basis of the
abo,ve assumption, is also given.

The total number of fowls on Vermont farms on
April 15, 1910, was 939,000. Of the 27,528 farms
reporting fowls, 2,618 did not report any eggs produced
in 1909, and 4,207 did not report any poultry raised in
1909. The production of eggs actually reported for the
year 1909 was 6,580,000 dozens, valued at $1,604,000.
According to the Twelfth Census reports, the production of eggs in 1899 was 6,272,000 dozens, the value
being $960,000. The latter figures, however, are
somewhat in excess of the actual returns atthat census,
because they include estimates made to cover those
cases where the schedules reported fowls on hand
without reporting the production of eggs. In order
to make the returns for 1909 comparable with those
published for 1899,similar estimates have been made,
the method of estimate and the justification therefor
being substantially the same as in the case of wool.
The total production of eggs in 1909, including these
estimates, was 7,037,000 dozens, valued at $1,715,000.
The total production of poultry in 1909, including
estimates made on the same basis as for eggs, was
1,283,000 fowls, valued at $759,000.
Honey and wax: 1909.
-Although, as noted elsewhere, 1,124 farms reported 10,215 colonies of bees on
hand April 15, 1910,377 of these farms,with 1,152 colonies on hand April 15,1910,made no report of honey or
wax produced in 1909. The actual returns show the
production of 160,283 pounds of honey, valued at
$25,351,and 2,899 pounds of wax, valued at $815, the
true totals are doubtless somewhat above these figures.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.
. Sale or slaughter of domestic animals on farms: 1909
and 1899.
-The next statement presents statistics relating to the sale or slaughter of domestic animals
by Vermont farmers during the year 1909, with certain items for 1899.
The total value of domestic animals sold during
1909 was $5,991,000, and that of animals slaughtered
onfarms $1,468,000,making an aggregate of $7,459,000.
This total, however,involves considerable duplication,
resulting from the resale or slaughter of animals which
had been purchased by the farmers during the same
year.
The value of the cattle (including calves) sold during
1909 represented about two-thirds of the total value
of animals sold.
The census of 1900 called for the receipts from the
sale of domestic animals raised on the farms reporting and the total value of those slaughtered during
1899, which amounted, respectively, to $2,786,000 and
$1,348,000. The item of sales is not closely comparable with that for 1909, when the inquiry covered all
sales whether of animals raised on the farms reporting
or elsewhere. It is believed, however, that in many
cases the returns for 1899 also included receipts from

599

sales of animals not actually raised on the farms
reporting.

Summary: 1909 and 1899.
-The following table summarizes the census data relative to all of the farm
crops of 1909 and 1899. It includes not only general
farm crops, but also flowers and plants, nursery products, and forest products of farms. In comparing one
year with the other it should be borne in mind that
acreage is on the whole a better index of the general

changes or tendencies of agriculture than either the
quantity or the value of the crops, since variations in
quantity may be due largely to temporarily favorable
or unfavorable climatic conditions, and variations in
the value of the crops are largely affected by changes
in prices. (See also discussion of "Total value of farm
products.")

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.

(straw, garden and grass seeds, etc.) derived from the
same land as other crops reported, or of orchard fruits,
nuts, forest products, and the like. The combined
acreage of crops for which acreage was reported was
1,203,795, representing 73.7 per cent of the total
improved land in farms (1,633,965 acres). Most of
the remaining improved land doubtless consisted of
improved pasture, land lying fallow, house and farm
yards, and land occupied by orchards and vineyards,
the acreage for which was not reported.
The general character of Vermont agriculture is
indicated by the fact that only 9.7 per cent of the total
value of crops in 1909 was contributed by the cereals,
while about three-fifths (59.5 per cent) was contributed
by hay and forage, and more than one-eighth (13.3
per cent) by forest products. The remainder, representing in value 17.5 per cent of the total, consisted
mostly of potatoes and other vegetables, maple sugar
and sirup, and fruits and nuts.
The total value of crops in 1909 was 51.1 per cent
greater than that in 1899. There was practically no
change in the total acreage of crops for which acreage
was reported, there being a decrease in the acreage of
the cereals and of potatoes and an increase in that of
hay and forage and of vegetables, other than potatoes.
. General farm crops, minor grains and seeds, and sun-The following table

regarding cereals, other
presents statistics for 1909
grains and seeds, hay and forage, potatoes, tobacco,
and sundry minor crops:

The leading crops covered by the table, in the order
of their importance as judged by value, are hay
and forage, $16,336,000; potatoes, $1,743,000; oats,
$1,169,000; and corn, $1,102,000. It should be noted,
however, that forest products of farms, reported in
another table, are more important than corn, oats, or
potatoes.
Vermont appears to be declining as a grain-growing
state, and about stationary in the production of hay
and forage. The total value of hay and forage crops
for 1909 is six times that of the cereals, while the value
of potatoes,the second crop in importance,is but little
more than one-tenth that of the former. There is a considerable list of other grain and seed crops, of which,
however, only a few are important in acreage and
value. Of these, beans are the most important, yet
they are grown by but one farmer in twelve, and by
them on an average of less than an acre each. Alfalfa
is reported from every county except Orleans; yet
for the state as a whole but one farmer in three hundred and twenty-seven raises it. "Timothy and clover
mixed" shows by far the greatest acreage of any of the
forage crops. "Other tame or cultivated grasses,"
"timothy alone," "coarse forage," and "grains cut
green" follow in the order named. The hay and forage
acreage is nearly eight times as great as the cereal
acreage, and is generally distributed over the state.
Potatoes are raised on a large percentage of the farms,
though less than 1 acre per farm is reported.
The fluctuations in the acreages of some of the
principal crops during the past 30 years are shown in

A decrease in corn acreage is shown in 1909 as compared with 1879, although in 1899 the acreage was
larger than that reported at any other census. While
every county reports a decrease during the past decade, the decline is heaviest in the northern part of
the state. Half of the corn acreage in the state is in
Windsor, Rutland, Addison, and Chittenden Counties.
The acreage of oats exceeds that of corn, but it too
shows a decrease since 1879. The maximum production of oats was reached in 1889. Half of the oat crop
is reported from Addison, Franklin, Chittenden, and
Rutland Counties. Barley reached about the same
figure in 1909 as 30 years before, having been well
above that point at the two intervening censuses.
Wheat shows a continuous and marked decline during
the entire period, and in 1909 had slightly less than onethirtieth of the acreage occupied in 1879. Buckwheat
also shows a constant decrease during the whole period,
and had in 1909 an acreage less than half that of 30
years before.

and sweet potatoes and yams, the acreage of vegetables
was 8,548 and their value $872,000, both acreage and
value being decidedly greater than in 1899. The
table distinguishes between farms which make the
raising of vegetables a business of some importance
(having produced vegetables valued at $500 or more
in 1909) and other farms, on most of which vegetables
are raised mainly for home consuniption. While
there were in 1909 only 122 farms in the first class,
they reported nearly one-tenth of the total acreage of
vegetables and about one-eighth of the total value,
the average acreage of vegetables per farm for these
farms being 6.8 and the average value per acre $134.
The raising of flowers and plants and of nursery products is relatively Unimportant in Vermont, only 60
acres being devoted to them in 1909, and the total output being valued at $89,740. Most of the product was
raised on a few farms where these branches of agriculture were carried on as an important business.

A marked decrease is noted in the percentage of
farms reporting cereals. Slightly more than two out

SELECTED FARM EXPENSES AND RECEIPTS.

Farm expenses: 1909 and 1899.—The following table
shows the number of farms reporting expenditures for
labor,feed, and fertilizer at the census of 1910, as well
as the sums expended in 1909 and 1899:

fertilizer shows an increase of about $124,000, or 27.7
per cent, since 1899; and the average amount spent
per farm, reporting in 1909, is $30.
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 sales, as well
as the production, of the more important feedable
crops (that is, crops ordinarily fed to live stock).

Approximately 25 per cent of the amount expended
for labor is in the form of rent and board. During
the decade the total expenditure for labor increased
51.5 per cent. Slightly more than two-thirds of the
farmers hire labor, and the average amount expended
by the farmers hiring is about $218. At prior censuses no tabulation was made of the farmers reporting
expenditures for labor.

Whereas more than 26,000 farmers purchased feed
during the year 1909,less than 6,000 sold any kind of
feed. The total amount expended for feed by those
who reported purchases was nearly five times as great
as the receipts from sales by those reporting sales.

COUNTY TABLES.

Tables 1 to 6, which follow, present by counties

CHAPTER 4.
STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES FOR THE STATE, CITIES, AND
INDUSTRIES.
Introduction.—This chapter gives the statistics of
manufactures for the state of Vermont for the calendar year 1909 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 main facts printed in the general tables are
given in convenient form for the state as a whole and
for important industries. It tilso presents tables in
which the statistics Tor the industries of the state as
a whole and for a few important industries are classified by character of ownership,size of establishments,
number of wage earners, and prevailing hours of 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 three general tables.
Table I gives for 1909, 1904, and 1899 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 reported for all industries combined and
for certain important industries for the state as a
Whole. It also gives the same items for all industries
combined for the three cities having in 1910 a population of 10,000 or over.
Table II gives statistics in detail for 1909 for the
state and for a larger number of industries.
Table III gives statistics in detail for 1909 for each
City having from 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants for all
industries combined.
• Scope of census: Factory 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 purPoses, it is imperative that due attention should be given to the
.
lunitations of the figures. Particularly is this true when the
attempt is made to derive from them figures purporting 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.
The census of 1909, like that of 1904, was confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under the factory system, as dis*
Lingulshed from the neighborhood, hand, and building industries.
where statistics for 1899 are given they have been reduced to a
comparable basis by eliminating the latter classes of 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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org

manufacturing done in educational,eleemosynary,and penal institutions, or in governmental establishments, except those of the
Federal Government.
Period covered.—The 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 not 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
state. A selection has been made of the leading industries of the
state 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.
Comparisons with previous censuses.—Owing to the changes in
industrial conditions it is not always possible to classify establishments by industries in such a way as to permit accurate comparison with preceding censuses. Table I, giving comparable figures
for 1909, 1904, and 1899, therefore, does not embrace all the industries shown for 1909 in Table II.
Influence of increased prices.—In considering changes in cost of
materials, value of products, and value added by manufacture,
account should be taken of the general increase in the prices of
commodities during recent years. To the extent to which this
factor has been influential the figures can not be taken as an exact
measure of increase in the volume of business.
Persons engaged in industry.—At the censuses of 1909, 1904, and
1899 the following general classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industries have been distinguished: (1) Proprietors and firm
members, (2) salaried officers of corporations, (3) superintendents
and managers,(4) clerks, and (5) wage earners. In the censuses of
1904 and 1899 these five classes were shown according to the three
main groups: (1)Proprietors and firm members,(2)salaried officials,
clerks, etc., and (3) wage earners. The second group included the
three classes of salaried officers of corporations, superintendents and
managers, and clerks. In the present census an entirely different
grouping is employed: That into (1) proprietors and officials, (2)
clerks, and (3) wage earners. The first group includes proprietors
and firm members, salaried officers of corporations, and superintendents and managers.

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.

At this census the number of persons engaged in the industries,
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, ot
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 canning, 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 of wage earners the average is
obtained in the manner explained in the next paragraph.
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. From these figures
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 perform 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 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.
In particular, totals by sex and age for the wage earners reported
for the representative day would be misleading because of the undue
weight given to seasonal industries, in some of which, such as
canning and preserving, the distribution of the wage earners by
sex and age is materially different from that in most industries of
more regular operation. In order to determine as nearly as possible
the sex and age distribution of the average number of wage earners
in the state as a whole, the following procedure has been adopted:
The percentage distribution by sex and age of the wage earners
in each industry, for December 15, or the nearest representative
day, has been calculated from the actual numbers reported for that
date. This percentage has been applied to the average number of
wage earners for the year in that industry, to determine the average
number of men, women,and children employed. These calculated
averages for the several industries have been added up to give the
average distribution for the state as a whole.
In 1899 and 1904 the schedule called for the average number of
wage earners of each sex 16 years and over, and the total number
under 16 years of age, for each month, and these monthly statements were combined in an annual average. Comparatively few
manufacturing concerns, however, keep their books in such way as
to show readily the number of men, women,and children(under 16)
employed each month. These monthly returns by sex and age
were,in fact, largely estimates. It was believed that a more accurate and reliable sex and age distribution could be secured by taking
as a basis of estimate the actual numbers employed on a single day.
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 establishment from 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


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

all the wage earners 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 figures 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:
The 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 taken at the amounts carried on the books. If land or buildings are rented, that fact should
be stated and no value given. If a part of the land or buildings is
owned, the remainder being rented, that fact should be so stated
and only the value of the owned property given. Do not include
securities and loans representing investments in other enterprises.
Materials.—Cost of materials refers to the materials used during
the year, which may be more or less than the materials purchased
during the year. The term materials 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, or power, or for the process of manufacture.
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, and allowances for depreciation.
Value of products.—The 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 during 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 manufacture.—The value of products is not a
satisfactory measure of either the absolute or the relatiye importance of a given industry, because only a part of this value is 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
different classes of industry is the value created as the result of the
manufacturing 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 obtained is termed
in the census reports "value added by manufacture."
There 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 created.
No such duplication takes place in the total "value added by
manufacture."
Cost of manufacture and proilts.—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 such 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 bound-

INDUSTRIES IN GENERAL.
General character of the state.—Vermont, with a
gross area of 9,564 square miles, of which 440 represent water surface, is one of the smallest states in the
Union, both in area and population. Its population
in 1910 was 355,956, as compared with 343,641 in 1900
and 332,422 in 1890. It ranked forty-second among
the 49 states and territories of continental United
States as regards population in 1910 and thirty-ninth
in 1900. In 1910 the density of population for the
entire state was 39 persons per square mile, the corresponding figure for 1900 being 37.7. Forty-seven
and five-tenths per cent of the total population of the
state resided in incorporated places having a population of 2,500 or over, as against 40.5 per cent in 1900.
The state has three cities having a population of
over 10,000—Burlington, Rutland, and Barre. These
three cities contain only 12.6 per cent of the total
Population of the state and are credited with only 19.5
per cent of the total value of its manufactures.
Apart from these cities 34.9 per cent of the population
of the state resided in places of 2,500 inhabitants or
ever.
Vermont has good railroad service, and Lake Champlain furnishes excellent facilities for water transportation in the northwestern part of the.state.

Importance and growth of manufactures.—The manufactures of the state have increased from a total value
of products of $8,571,000 in 1849 to $51,515,000
in 1899 and $68,310,000 in 1909. During 1849 an
average of 8,445 wage earners, representing 2.7 per
cent of the total population, were employed in manufactures, while in 1909 an average of 33,788 wage
earners, or 9.5 per cent of the total population, were
so engaged. During this period the gross value of
products per capita of the total population of the
state increased from $27 to $192. From 1849 to 1909,
however, the proportion which the manufactures of
the state represented of the total value of the products
of manufacturing industries in the United States
decreased somewhat. This proportion was eighttenths of 1 per cent in 1849; five-tenths of 1 per
cent in 1899; and three-tenths of 1 per cent in 1909.
In 1849 the state ranked twenty-first in respect to
value of manufactures; in 1899, thirty-fourth; and in
1909, thirty-eighth.
The following table gives the more important figures relative to all classes of manufactures combined,
for the state as returned at the censuses of 1909, 1904,
and 1899, together with the percentages of increase

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.

614

In general, this table brings out the fact that the
manufacturing industries of Vermont, when measured
by value of products and value added by manufacture, showed less development during the more recent
five-year period, 1904-1909, than during the preceding
five-year period, 1899-1904. The number of establishments, however, dropped from 1,938 in 1899 to
1,699 in 1904, but had increased to 1,958 by 1909. In
the earlier period wages increased 33.2 per cent and
the value of products 22.5 per cent, whereas in the
more recent period they increased only 13.5 per
cent and 8.3 per cent, respectively. As pointed
out in the Introduction, it would be improper to
infer that manufactures increased in volume to the

full extent indicated by these figures representing
values, since the increase shown is certainly due, in
part, to the increase that has taken place in the prices
of commodities.
It is a matter of interest to note that the percentages
of increase shown for wages, value of products, and
value added by manufacture are much larger than the
percentage of increase in the average number of wage
earners. The only decrease shown in the table is that
in the number of establishments during the period
1899-1904, amounting to 12.3 per cent.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
Butter, cheese, and condensed milk.—This industry is
very important in the state. To avoid disclosure of
individual operations the statistics for one condensedmilk establishment were omitted in 1904, for which
reason the percentages of increase for the industry
are not given in the preceding table. From 1899 to
1909, however, the total value of products increased
$2,456,000, or 43.4 per cent, and the value added by
manufacture, $285,000, or 37 per cent. The decrease
in number of egtablishments from 255 in 1899 to 186 in
1909 was due to the abandonment of small local creameries and the establishment of larger central plants.
Textiles.—The textile manufactures of the state, including woolen and worsted goods, hosiery and knit
goods, and cotton goods, are important as a whole,
although each branch of the industry showed a general
decrease during the five-year period 1904-1909. The
manufacture of woolen and worsted goods,which is by
far the most important of the textile industries in Vermont, decreased 4.3 per cent in value of products and
15 per cent in value added by manufacture from 1904
to 1909. The hosiery and knit-goods industry decreased during this period 12.2 per cent in value of
Products and 15 per cent in value added by manufacture. The statistics for the three establishments
engaged in the cotton-goods industry are omitted, to
avoid the disclosure of individual operations. No
establishments were reported in the state as engaged
Primarily in making felt goods or wool hats and only
One in manufacturing worsted goods.
Flour-mill and gristmill products.—This industry
shows a steady growth during the decade. The industry is not very important, however, from the
standpoint of the number of wage earners, giving emPloyment to an average of only 156 persons. Owing
to the
comparatively simple processes involved and
the extent to which these processes are carried on by
machinery, the value added by manufacture is not
commensurate with the gross value of products or the
/lumber of the establishments.
Paper and wood pulp.—The establishments which
produce pulp as a final product, as well as those
i
ci
whch
manufacture paper or pulp and paper, are
111, uded under this classification. The industry has

take seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth places, respectively, while the hosiery and knit-goods industry drops
from eighth to eleventh place. Tho car repair shops
of steam railroads hold the same position when
measured by value added by manufacture• as when
measured by value of products. The flour-mill and
gristmill industry falls from fifth to thirteenth place.
This table shows also the percentages of increase
for these leading industries in respect to value of
products and value added by manufacture where these
statistics are comparable. Four of the 13 leading
industries decreased from 1904 to 1909 in value of
products and 5 in value added by manufacture.
The flour-mill and gristmill industry showed a greater
rate of increase from 1904 to 1909 in value added by
manufacture than any other of these industries,
namely,81.1 per cent,while during the same period the
steam-railroad repair shop industry showed the greatest
rate of increase in value of products, 32 per cent.
In addition to the industries presented separately
there are 19 other industries which had a value of
products in 1909 in excess of $100,000, but which
are included in all other industries in the table. In
the case of 2 of these industries—the manufacture
of food preparations and the turning and carving of
wood—the returns do not present properly the true
condition of the industry, as it is more or less interwoven with one or more other industries of similar
character. The other 17 industries are included under
this head, to avoid disclosing the operations of individual establishments. These industries are: Boots
.
and shoes, including cut stock and findings; brushes;
cases, and undertakers' goods; cotton
coffins, burial
goods,including cotton small wares; cutlery and tools,
not elsewhere specified; dairymen's, poulterers', and
apiarists' supplies; firearms and ammunition; furnishing goods, men's; grease and tallow; leather, tanned,
curried, and finished; musical instruments, pianos and
organs and materials; paper goods, not elsewhere specified; photographic apparatus and materials; scales and
balances; shoddy; toss and games; and window shades
and fixtures. Statistics, however,for cutlery and tools
and musical instruments are shown in Table IIfor 1909.
Persons engaged in manufacturing industries.—The
next table shows, for 1909, the distribution of the
number of persons engaged in manufactures, the average number of wage earners being distributed by sex
and age. It should be borne in mind, however, that
the sex and age classification of the average number
of wage earners in this and other tables is an estimate
obtained by the method described in the Introduction.
The average number of persdns engaged in manufactures during 1909 was 38,580,of whom 33,788 were wage
earners. Of the remainder, 3,088 were proprietors and
officials and 1,704 were clerks. Corresponding figures
for individual industries will be found in Table II,

Of the total number of persons engaged in all manufacturing industries, 8 per cent were proprietors and
officials, 4.4 per cent clerks, and 87.6 per cent wage
earners. In the flour-mill and gristmill industry the
majority of the establishments are small and the work
is done to a large extent by the proprietors or their
immediate representatives, so that the proportion of
persons engaged in this industry falling in the class of
proprietors and officials is very much higher than for
other industries or for all industries combined. The
percentage of proprietors and officials is also relatively
high in the butter, cheese, and condensed-milk, the
lumber, and the printing and publishing industries,
where the small establishment predominates.
The following table shows,for 1909, in percentages,
for all industries combined, the distribution of the
average number of wage earners by age periods, and
for those 16 years of age and over by sex, calculated
in the manner described in the Introduction. It also

average number in all industries combined, see Introduction.
2 Loss than one-tenth of 1 per cent.

For all industries combined, 85.7 per cent of the
average number of wage earners were males 16 years
of age and over; 13.7 per cent,females 16 years of age
and over; and six-tenths of 1 per cent, children under
the age of 16. It will be noted that in three industries,
the manufacture of men's clothing, hosiery and knit
goods, and patent medicines and compounds, the
women outnumbered the men. In the men's clothing
industry nearly nine-tenths of the wage earners were
women. The wage earners under 16 years of age in
Vermont are .employed principally in marble and
stone work, and in the woolen and the lumber industries.
In order to compare the distribution of persons
engaged in manufactures in 1909 with that shown at
the census of 1904, it is necessary to use the classification employed at the earlier census. (See Introduction.) The following table makes this comparison
according to occupational status:

This table indicates that for all industries combined
there has not been much change in the proportions of
male and female wage earners 16 years of age and
over. In 1909 males 16 years of age and over formed
85.7 per cent of all wage earners, as compared with
85.5 per cent in 1904 and 85 per cent in 1899.
Wage earners employed, by months.
-The following
table gives the number of wage earners employed on
the 15th of each month during the year 1909, for all
industries combined, for the lumber and the marble
and stone work industries, and for all other industries
combined; it gives also the percentage which the number reported for each month is of the greatest number
reported for any month. The wage earners for the
lumber industry are divided in the table in such a manner as to show separately the number engaged in the
mills and in the logging operations. In Table II, page
628, are shown, for practically all of the important
industries in the state, the largest number and the
smallest number of wage earners reported for any
month. The figures are for the 15th day, or the
nearest representative day, of the month.

It is evident from these figures that for the great
majority of wage earners employed in the manufacturing industries of Vermont the prevailing hours of labor
range from 54 to 60 per week, only 17.7 per cent of
the total being employed in establishments where the
employees work less than 54 per week, and 1.9 per
cent in establishments whose employees work more
than 60 per week.
In, the marble and stone work industry, in which
nearly one-third of the total number of wage earners
for the state are employed, the prevailing hours of
labor are 48 per week and,under for 38.2 per cent of
the wage earners, between 54 and 60 per week for 50.4
per cent,- and 60 per week (which is the maximum for
the industry) for 3.3 per cent. The prevailing hours
in the steam-railroad car repair shops and in establishments making men's and women's clothing are
between 54 and 60 per week. In the bakery, canning
and preserving, cooperage, flour-mill and gristmill,
hosiery, lumber, and woolen-goods industries the prevailing hours of labor are 60 per week. In the furniture industry about one-half the wage earners work 60
hours per week, and the rest either 54 or between 54
and 60;and in the butter and cheese industry a majority
of the wage earners work over 60 hours per week.

In 1909, 19.5 per cent of the total value of products
and 18.8 per cent of the average number of wage earners were reported from the three cities having over
10,000 inhabitants in 1910. The figures indicate that
while little relative change took place during the 10
years in the amount of manufacturing done in cities
of 10,000 and over and in districts outside, yet on the
whole the manufactures of the cities have gained considerably on those of the districts outside. This is
due to some extent to the increase in the population of Barre, which city had less than 10,000 inhabitants in 1900, and so was included in the districts
outside in 1899.
The population for 1910 and 1900 of the three cities
which had 10,000 inhabitants or over in 1910 is given
in the following statement:

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.

The most important distinction shown is that between corporate and all other forms of ownership.
For all industries combined, 19 per cent of the total
number of establishments were in 1909 under corporate ownership, as against 81 per cent under all
other forms. The corresponding figures for 1904
were 18.2 per cent and 81.8 per cent, respectively.
In the other three items shown in this table the
totals for establishments operated by corporations
show a decided increase. Decreases are shown in the
proportions of the total number of wage earners,
value of products, and value added by manufacture reported by establishments under individual and
firm ownership and the forms of ownership included
under the head of "Other," except that the establishments under "Other" forms of ownership report a
slightly larger proportion of the total value added by
manufacture.
The forms of ownership prevailing in the different
industries varied considerably. Unlike other important industries,the largest percentage of the marble

and stone works were owned by firms,only 15.8 per cent
being under corporate ownership. In the butter,
cheese, and condensed-milk industry the most common
form of ownership was the cooperative, classed under
"Other" forms of ownership in the table. These
cooperative establishments are operated largely by
farmers who have organized for the purpose of securing
steadier and better markets for their milk.
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 following table groups
the establishments according to the value of their
products. The table shows also the average size of
establishments for all industries combined and for
important industries separately as measured by number of wage earners, value of products, and value
added by manufacture. The totals for all industries
are shown for the last two censuses, while for certain
important industries figures are given for 1909 only.

STATISTICS OF MANUFACTURES.
This table shows that, in 1909, of the 1,958 manufacturing establishments in the state, 131, or 6.7 per
cent, had a value of products exceeding $100,000.
These establishments, however, employed an average
of 19,353 wage earners, or 57.3 per cent of the total
number in all establishments, and reported 57.5 per
cent of the total value of products and 56.7 per cent
of the total value added by manufacture.
On the other hand, the very small establishments
that is, those having a value of products of less than
$5,000-constituted a considerable proportion (35.2
per cent) of the total number of establishments, but
the value of their products amounted to only 2.5 per
cent of the total. The bulk of the manufacturing was
reported by establishments having products valued at
not less than $100,000.
It will be seen from the above table that during
the five years from 1904 to 1909 there was a considerable increase as measured by value of products
in the relative importance of the establishments

621

having a value of products between $100,000 and
$1,000,000.
The decrease in the average value of products per
establishment from $37,130 to $34,888, and in value
added by manufacture from $18,042 to $17,103, during
the five-year period, is due to the large increase in
the number of small establishments-those reporting
products valued at less than $5,000. There was also a
decrease from 19 to 17 in the average number of wage
earners per establishment.
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 next toble shows,for 1909, such,a classification for
all industries combined and for 13 important industries individually, and gives not only the.number of
establishments falling in each group, but also the
average number of wage earners employed.

SUPPLEMENTARY DATA REGARDING IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES.
(With statistics for laundries and custom sawmills and gristmills.)

For certain industries the Census Bureau collects, by
means of special schedules, details regarding the quantity and cost of materials and the quantity and value
of products and other information for securing which
no provision is made on the general schedule. Certain data of this character for three important industries in Vermont are here presented.
-With the exception
Lumber and timber products.
of the marble and stone work industry, the lumber
industry in Vermont is the most important one in the
state, whether measured by average number of wage
earners, value of products, or value added by manufacture, while in number of establishments it ranks first.
The quantity of lumber, lath, and shingles produced

The returns for 1909, as compared with 1899, show
decreases of 6.4 per cent in the output of lumber, 22.2
per cent in that of lath, and 54.6 per cent in that of
shingles. The principal kinds of lumber produced are

one of the leading dairy-product states, ranking ninth
in respect to number of establishments and tenth in
value of products. The quantity and value of products of the butter, cheese, and condensed-milk industry for 1909,1904, and 1899 are given in the next table.
The value of products for this industry shows an
increase both from 1904 to 1909 and from 1899 to
1904. The total value of butter, packed solid and in
Prints and rolls, represented 74.2 per cent of the
total value of products of the industry in 1909, 91.1
Per cent in 1904, and 83.3 per cent in 1899. From
1899 to 1904 there was an increase both in the total
quantity and in the total value of butter produced,
While from 1904 to 1909 there was an increase in value
notwithstanding a marked decrease in quantity.
In 1899, 22.7 per cent of the butter produced was put
Up in prints and rolls, and in 1909, 37.8 per cent. A
number of the factories purchased cream at their
(
central stations" for resale, using only a part of it


http://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

for manufacturing purposes, because it is often more
profitable to dispose of it as cream.
In the manufacture of cheese, there was between
1904 and 1909 a decrease of 36.4 per cent in quantity
and of 7.4 per cent in value. The quantity and
value of condensed milk produced in 1909, however,
was about seven times that reported in 1899. The
increasing custom of the farmers to separate the cream
on the farm instead of sending the whole milk to the
factory is apparent, since only 123 cream separators
were reported as operated by factories in 1909, compared with 307 in 1904 and 382 in 1899.

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.

624

There was an increase of 28.9 per cent in the total
value of products between 1904 and 1909. This was
due chiefly to the increase shown for corn meal and
corn flour, amounting to $402,688, or 19.1 per cent,
and for feed, amounting to $496,216, or 48 per cent.
The amount of wheat and rye milled in the state is
insignificant. Barley meal, of which a considerable
quantity is manufactured in Vermont, is included
under the head of "All other products."

decrease in this industry in Vermont,
there was a
due to the falling off in the manufacture of woolen
goods. Similar conditions prevailed in most other
textile manufacturing states in the Union, but the
loss in woolen goods was overcome by the increase
in the production of worsted goods. The quantity
and cost of the different materials used, and the quantity and value of the various classes of products,
reported at the censuses of 1909, 1904, and 1899, are

The most common form of organization was the
individual, for which 27 establishments were reported,
the other 5 being operated by firms. Fourteen had
receipts for the year's business of less than $5,000;
17, $5,000 but less than $20,000, and 1, over $20,000.
The number of wage earners employed each month
and the per cent which this number represented of
the greatest number employed in any month were as
follows:

MONTH.

Although the cost of all materials, the quantity
and cost of yarns purchased, and the cost of fuel and
rent of power increased, all other items decreased
from 1904 to 1909, while during the preceding fiveyear period every item of materials increased. The
cost of yarns purchased was the largest item of
materials used in 1909, constituting 37.6 per ceiit of
the total cost of all materials, whereas the cost of
wool was the largest in 1904 and in 1899. This
condition indicates a change of methods in the
industry.
With the exception of minor increases in the value
of all-wool woven goods and the value of the articles
included under the head "All other products," each
item of products decreased from 1904 to 1909, while
every item except "All other products" increased
from 1899 to 1904. All-wool woven goods was the

CHAPTER 5.
MINES AND QUARRIES.
Introduction.—The present chapter contains a complete statement of the statistics of all mining industries, which include all mines and quarries, in the state
of Vermont for the year 1909, as shown by the Thirteenth Census.
A brief explanation of the scope of the census of
mining industries and of the terms used, in so far as
the usage differs from that followed in the census of
manufactures, is presented below in order to prevent
any misinterpretation of the statistics.
The explanations here given show the usage of the
mining census generally, though some of the special
rules have obviously no relation to particular states
in which the industries referred to do not exist.
Scope of census.—The Thirteenth Census covered all classes of
mines, quarries, and petroleum and gas wells that were in operation
during any portion of the year 1909, both those which were producing and those whose operations were confined to development
work. Mines, quarries, ar wells that were idle during the entire
year 1909 were omitted from the canvass. The following operations
were likewise omitted from the canvass: Prospecting; the digging
or dredging of sand and gravel for the construction of roads and for
building operations; the production of mineral waters; and the
operation of small bituminous coal banks producing less than 1,000
tons annually. Where the mineral products are not marketed in
their crude condition, but are dressed or washed at the mine or
quarry, the statistics of mining cover the entire work of obtaining
the crude material and its preparation for the market.
Period covered.—The 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 enterprises
which began or discontinued business during the year.
Number of operators.—As a rule, the unit of enumeration was the
"operator." Every individual, firm, or corporation was required
to furnish one report for all mines, quarries, or wells which were
operated under the same management or for which one set of
books of account was kept. Separate reports were obtained for all
properties operated in different states, even where they were owned
by the same operator. Likewise, where the operations of one
individual, firm, or corporation covered more than one class of
mines and quarries, such as coal, iron, limestone, etc., a separate
report was received for each industry.
Number of mines, quarries, and wells.—This figure represents
the total number of mines and quarries in operation or in the course
of development at any time during the calendar year 1909, or the
business year that corresponds most nearly to that calendar year,
and the number of completed petroleum and natural gas wells in
operation on December 31, 1909.
In most mining and quarrying industries the number of mines
or quarries varies but little from the number of operators.
Expenses of operation and development.—A certain amount of
development work is incidental to the operation of every mine.
The expenses reported for producing mines include the cost both
of operation and of development work which was done in connection
with operation.

Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

Wages.—The amount shown as wages includes only the compensation of regular wage earners hired by the day, week, or month,
or under the piecework system.
Supplies and materials.—This item includes the cost of lumber
and timber used for repairs, mine supports, track ties, etc.; iron
and steel for blacksmithing; rails, frogs, sleepers, etc., for tracks and
repairs; renewals of tools and machinery and materials for repairs;
and supplies, explosives, oil, etc., as well as the cost of fuel and the
rent of power. The schedule called only for the cost of such supplies
and materials as had been used during the year covered by the
report. Accurate figures, however,could be furnished only in those
cases where the operators kept an account of supplies and materials
used, or had an inventory made of all in stock at the beginning and
at the end of the year. Such a system of accounting is far from
general among mine operators, and there is reason to believe that in
many cases the reported cost of supplies and materials covered all
purchased during the year rather than those used during the year.
The crude product of some operators was purchased by others for
further dressing or refining; the cost of such materials is shown
separately in the general table.
Capital.—The census schedule required every operator to state
the total amount of capital invested in the enterprise on the last day
of the business year reported, as shown by his books. There is,
however; a great diversity in the methods of bookkeeping in use by
different operators. As a result, the statistics for capital lack uniformity. Some of the figures reported apparently represent capital
stock at face value; others include large investments in mineral
lands which are not at present being actively mined, but are held in
reserve; still others may include expenditures for unproductive
mining ventures in no way related to the operations carried on
during the census year.
Persons engaged in mining industries.—The statistics of the number of operators awl officials, clerks, and wage earners, are based
on the returns for December 15, or the nearest representative day.
The reported number of wage earners includes overseers and foremen performing work similar to that of the men over whom they
have charge; those whose duties are wholly supervisory are classed
as superintendents and managers. Because of the common practice
of shutting down mines at frequent intervals, it is impossible to
ascertain with any satisfactory degree of accuracy the average number of employees—that is, the number who, if continuously employed, would be required to produce the actual output of the year.
Value of products.—Statistics of the value of mineral products
were obtained by the Bureau of the Census in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey, but the two bureaus follow different methods in presenting these statistics. The Geological Survey shows separately the value of each mineral product, whereas
the Bureau of the Census presents the value of products of each
mining industry. The value of products given for a mining industry often includes the value of some products not covered by the industry designation. The crude product of metalliferous mines may
include varying combinations of metals,such as gold, silver, copper,
lead, zinc, and iron. Similarly, the total value of all products of
the granite quarries is not identical with the value of the total output of granite, but may include the value of some marble or other
stone quarried in connection with the principal product.
The value of products for 1909 in most cases represents the value
of the products marketed during that year, not the value of those
mined during that year.

SUPPLEMENT FOR VERMONT.
MINING IN VERMONT.

Summary.-Statistics for all mining enterprises in
the state of Vermont are presented in Table 7, which
gives statistics for all industries combined and for
producing enterprises separately in all cases where the
statistics could be given without disclosing the operations of an individual establishment. Statistics for
nonproducing enterprises are also given separately
from producing enterprises.
The total value of products of all mines and quarries
in Vermont in 1909 amounted to $8,221,323. Of this
amount, marble, granite, and slate quarries contributed $7,971,764, or 97 per cent. Other products of the
mining industry, with a combined value of $249,559,
were: Talc and soapstone; clay (sold as such); limestone; mineral pigments; asbestos; and scythestones.
The total number of wage earners employed in the
producing enterprises on December 15, 1909, was
8,388. Of this number, 8,113, or 96.7 per cent, were
employed in the stone quarries.
-Table 1 classifies the
Character of organization.
producing mining operations of the state under form
of organization, distinguishing corporations from individual owners and firms, while Table 2 gives further
details for incorporated enterprises distinguished from
those which are unincorporated. Out of a total of 137
operators, 57 were corporations. These corporations
reported 82.2 per cent of the total value of products
and employed 78.2 per cent of all wage earners. In
the marble industry the classification of production
according to forms of organization can not be given,
since to do so would disclose the operations of individual enterprises. In the slate industry the share of
corporations in the total production is not so great as
in the granite industry or in all industries combined.

producing enterprises reported in 1909 there were only
17 which had in excess of 100 wage earners, but these
enterprises reported 70.8 per cent of the total number
of wage earners employed in all producing mining
enterprises in, the state. The proportion of wage earners employed by the larger enterprises is somewhat
greater in marble quarries than in granite and slate
quarries.

STATISTICS OF MINES AND QUARRIES.
Prevailing hours of labor.—In Table 4 all producing
enterprises, except those which employed no wage
earners or which were operated exclusively by contract
work, have been classified according to the prevailing
hours of labor per day in each enterprise. The table
shows the percentage of the total number of enterprises falling into each group, and also a per cent distribution in which each enterprise has been given a
weight according to the total number of wage earners
employed December 15, 1909, or the nearest representative day. It should be borne in mind that this latter distribution does not show the exact proportion of
the total number of wage earners working the specified
number of hours per day, since in some cases a part of
the employees worked a greater or less number of
hours than those generally prevailing in the enterprise.
In nearly one-half of all the enterprises 10 hours per
day were the prevailing hours of labor, and the enterprises in which these hours are found employ somewhat over two-thirds of all the wage earners reported.

Comparison of mining industries: 1902-1909.—In
order to make comparisons between 1909 and 1902 it
is necessary to include for 1909 figures for the production of lime, which were included in the report on mines
and quarries for 1902,but classified as a manufacturing
industry in 1909. In any case only the few items
specified in Table 6 can be compared for the two
years.

Duplication between manufactures and mining.—In a
number of industries some of the operators subjected
the products obtained to certain manufacturing processes on the premises before marketing. Such enterprises have been included in the statistics both for
manufactures and for mining. As a result of this fact
the combined value of products for manufacturing
and mining industries in Vermont involves a duplication of $6,699,723.
