I 16 estimate includes not merely the value of the land itself but also the permanent equipment—e.g., farmhouses, cottages and build- ings—Ilet with the farms. 3. Tenants’ capital. —In addition to rent and value of land the Ministry has also obtained from the Crop Reporters estimates of the average amount of tenants’ capital per acre on holdings of different types and sizes in England and Wales, tenants’ capital being defined as including the value of live and dead stock at the rates current about the end of 1925, tenant right valuation at Michaelmas or other date at which farms usually change hands and the amount of cash in hand required to meet necessary outgoings.

There is a great deal of variation in the case of fruit and vegetable holdings and although the average only works out at £37 per acre, the capital Is estimated in the different divisions at figures ranging from £20 to £80 per acre. Poultry holdings show a similar diversity the average over the whole country is estimated at £66 per acre. On the basis of the above estimates the farm capital repre sented by the value of the live and dead stock, the tenant-right valuation and other working capital, exclusive of that required in respect of rough grazings, amounted to rather less than £360 millions in the whole of England and Wales.
