Ai less than 12 on the arable farms, while the number of sheep is also greater. Many farms of this type have, however, some rough grazing land attached to them which is not taken into account in the above figures. In this group there are 104,200 holdings, nearly one-half of which are in holdings from 20 to 50 acres. NUMBER AND ACREAGE OF HOLDINGS ABOVE 20 ACRES CONSISTING MAINLY OF PASTURE LAND.

Cambridge, Isle of Ely, Suffolk (East and West), and Lincoln (Holland) have less than 3 per cent. of their area on pasture farms, and other parts of Lincoln, Norfolk and Yorkshire (East Riding) have also very few grass farms. Monmouth, Carmarthen, Brecon, Merioneth, Westmorland and Middlesex, with over 75 per cent. of their cultivated land on grass farms, have the largest proportions. and Wales as a whole averages 65 per cent. 6. Mixed farms.—It might have been expected that the number of mixed farms in which arable and pasture are more or less evenly balanced would have exceeded both the number of mainly arable and the number of mainly pasture farms. This is not, however, the case, though the area occupied by the mixed farm group is greater than that of either of the other two groups. The area under arable and permanent pasture in all sizes of this group 1s about equal, and about one-fourth of the total area 1s In corn Crops and one-eighth in rotation grass. The number of cattle and pigs carried approximates more closely to the mainly pasture holding than to the mainly arable holding, but with sheep the opposite is the case, and, as in the other cases, the stock carried is, except for sheep, proportionately higher on the small sized farms than on the larger holdings.
