SOUTH OMAHA'S RECORD YEAR Nebraska's Great Live Stock .Market Forged Ahead at a Great Kate During the Year 1015 riUWI'ECTS ARE GOOD FOK 1916 Plenty of live slock within ship ping distance, feeding territory near by, adequate transportation facili ties, stock yards accommodations, ample packing house capacity, and n live bunch ut the market to handle the business, these are the things that go to make up a f reat. modern live stock market. South Omaha has them all. With the large increase of business at that market, more packing house capacity might be acceptable, but with four Immense plants, employing between thirty thousand and forty thousand people the year 'round, she is able to take care of all the fat stuff that come3 in, besides handling a feeder and stocker business that is simply remarkable for magnitude. The year 1915 was a year of rec ords at the South Omaha market. October 11 was the record day of the year, and of the history of the yards, in the number of cattle and total number of car loads of live sfock of all kinds received.

This was the largest day's buciness ever handled at the South Omaha yards. Also, during the sev en days ending October 16, 1915, cat tle receipts total 52,421 head, and total cars of live stock, 2,810 cars, also being the greatest number of cars of stock and head of cattle re ceived In any one week. Receipts for the year show a total of 1,218.342 head of cattle, breaking all previous records with the excep tion of the year 1910. when 1,233,- 533 head were received. Sheep re ceipts were the greatest In the his tory of the yards, 3,268,279 head having been received, as compared with the previous record receipts of 3,222,133 head during the year 1913. The total hog receipts foot up 2,642,' 973 head, which was only exceeded once before at South Omaha. Total carloads of live stock received were the largest for one year since the or ganlzation of the yards, 101,786 cars being unloaded and yarded, this enormous number being nearest ap proached in 1911, when 94.313 cars were received. As to total number of head of all classes of live stock re ceived at South Omaha, the year 1915 has been the banner year, 7,- 171,273 head of cattle, hogs, sheep and horses having been received. The following comparison or re ceipts of cattle, hogs and sheep for 1914 and 1915 will show at a glance the Increase In the number of head received and the percentages of In crease.

' South Omaha has gained the dis tinction of furnishing cattle feeders the best class of stuff obtainable for their purpose, coming principally from western Nebraska and Wyom ing, and this fact has become so thor oly established that, with the cloalas of the Chicago market to this olaa of business, the output of stocker an4 feeder cattle during the year 1919 was the largest In the history of tka yards, 475,179 head having bee shipped to the feed lots of Nebraska. Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Souta Dakota, as well as to other state further distant. Nebraska aloaa took 223,757 head of feeding cattle, 171,624 head going into the Iowa feed lots. Illinois took 6.000 head more than during 1914. One of the remarkable features of the seasoa was the big demand for stock cattle from the west, the range country. Wyoming took 6,000 and South Da kota 5,000 more head than durlag 1914. It was South Omaha's biggest year in stockers and feeders and the dis tribution of the stock demonstrate the steadily growing popularity ot this market and the big increase la tributary territory. A notable fea ture during 1915 was the great num ber of eastern feeders who had beea accustomed to get their stock cnttl from Chicago, who were forced t ; come to the Missouri river for sus 1 plies this year.
