Stockyards Pay Out Five Billions Here in 20 Years Industry Growing Rapidly and Omaha Market Will C< 'lue to Grow, Buck* ngham Predicts. Everett Buckingham, head of the Union Stockyards company, an nounced Saturday that during the last 20 years the livestock industry of South Omaha has turned back $5,000, 000,000 to producers. This means that the great Industry Is paying to stock raisers, mostly in the Omaha trade territory, about $250,000,000 a year. Moreover, the industry is grooving rapidly here and so far this year the Omaha market has held second po sition In receipts, being second only to Chicago. Heavy receipts during the first seven months of the year have placed It ahead of its great rival, Kansas City. Receipts for the first seven months of the year were larger than a year ago, although 1923 was one of the big years. During this seven-month period cat tle receipts were 952,837 head, an in crease over the egme period a year ago of 45,207 head; calves, 46,024, or an increase of 2,920 head; hogs, 2,689, 964, an increase of 268,953 head. Sheep receipts were 1,364,970, but a com parison with receipts last year were not available. The total number of cars used in transporting stock to the South Oma ha market during the specified period of this year was 77,822, an increase of 3,645 cars over the nuitiber used during the same period a year ago. Although $250,000,000 to the stock producer annually is an enormous figure, Mr. Buckingham does not hesi tate to predict that the amount will increase each year. "We're growing,” said Buckingham. "Nothing can stop us.” Nebraska State Fair to Open at Lincoln Sunday Dog Show to Be Feature This Year; Musical Revue and Carnival to Offer Entertainment ftptHal DUpntch to The Omnh* Be*. lAncoln, Neb., Aug. 23.—With fiRi'i cultgral prosperity At hand and many new features, the 56th annual Ne braska state fair, which will open at Lincoln, August 31, is expected to he a record-breaker in attendance and revenue.
