V1] MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES. To THE SECRETARY OF THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES. SIR, I HAVE the honour to submit a Report on the Agricultural Census of England and Wales, 1925, based partly on the Annual Agricultural Statistics, and partly on enquiries specially under- taken in connection with the Census of Production. It may not be out of place to refer at the outset to the discussions in the House of Commons* as to the need for a survey of the agricultural conditions and possibilities of the country. This Report, while not pretending to provide all the information desired, is an attempt to meet that demand on the statistical side. The task of compiling statistics that afford guidance as to the trend of a complicated and heterogeneous industry such as agriculture is, however, a formidable one, and whilst the Report provides some material on which a judgment can be based, there are necessary limitations to the information which can be supplied by agricultural statistics and also to the deductions which can safely be drawn from them. In the period which has elapsed since 1908—the date of the last census—agriculture has passed through an economic dis- turbance which, measured by its effect on prices, is without parallel in the last 100 years. The present enquiry refers in the main to the year 1925, seven years after the end of the war but only three years after the sharp fall in prices in 1921-22, and sufficient time has not yet elapsed to enable general conclusions to be drawn. But the evidence seems to suggest that, though appreciable changes have taken place and there have been gains and losses in different branches of the industry, agriculture has passed through this period without suffering any serious economic set-back. From the nature of the subject, the Report is necessarily somewhat detailed and itmay be useful if I attempt to indicate some of the leading figures which it contains. This brief summary needs, however, to be read with caution. In the Report an endeavour has been made to explain the limitations to which the figures are subject, and one particular limitation which needs to be borne in mind is that the figures for a single year may not be fully representative. For this reason, the Report is not confined merely to a comparison of 1925 with 1908, but summarises in more or less detail figures both for preceding and intervening years. * On the 8th April, 1925, 3rd August, 1925, 24th June, 1926 and 2nd Aucust. 1926.
