About 35 per eent., or £79,000,000 of the total of 
£225,330,000 is accounted for by the sale of live stock. The 
production of live stock for meat is the most valuable section 
of agricultural production, whilst the second place is taken by 
the milk and dairy produce which, with an estimated selling 
value of £57,600,000, accounts for 26 per cent. of the whole. 
If to this we add poultry and eggs (£15,000,000) and wool 
(£3,000,000) we get an aggregate value of £155,000,000 for live 
stock and livestock products, or nearly 69 per cent. of the total 
output of the agricultura] industry. It will be understood that 
these figures, which represent the estimated sums received for 
the finished products, have to cover the cost of growing those 
corn, root and fodder crops used for feeding to stock. Con- 
sequently the value of the crops thus used is not included among 
the farm crops referred to in the next paragraph.
