Apart from the variations due to size there is naturally considerable
 difference in the rents paid in different parts of the
country due to the fertility of the soil and other causes, though
when averaged over the agricultural divisions the variation is
not as great as might have been expected. This may be illustrated
 by comparing the average rentals of holdings of 100 to
150 acres of each type in the agricultural divisions.

In the eastern and south-eastern divisions the mainly arable
farms appear to be worth some 6s. per acre less than the pasture
farms, but in the midlands the difference is as great as 11s. and
