101 The table on the previous page shows under each heading the numbers of persons thus included in the census classification of agriculture as an industry and of the numbers classified by occupa- tion. It will be seen that a small number of men employed in woods and forests are included and also some 24,000 other persons whose occupations are not agricultural, such as smiths, carpenters, carmen, etc., but who are employed by persons in the agricultural or horticultural industry. Excluding these latter persons, the total number of persons in the agricultural industry is approximately 1,100,000, of whom about 8,000 are separately distinguished as employed in woods and forests. i The difference in the numbers in the different groups as classified by “industry ”’ and as classified by ‘‘ occupation is not very material except in the case of gardeners and gardeners’ labourers, of whom approximately 100,000 are allocated in the “industry ”’ tables to the general heading of agriculture. As already explained, a large proportion of the numbers returned by occupation are domestic gardeners and gardeners employed in public parks and gardens. It will be seen that the number of persons engaged in farming and stock raising is about 950,000, of whom 250,000 are definitely classed as “farmers ” and 93,500 as “ relatives assisting in work on the holding.” The numbers engaged in poultry farming are 11,700, in market gardening and fruit farming 66,000, and in flower, seed-growing and nursery gardening 28,500. Unfortu- nately, no exact distinction is made between employers and workers in these latter groups, though from another table in the Census Report it appears that 39,000 persons described as gardeners, nurserymen, ete., are employers or working on their own account. It is assumed that the majority of these are engaged in commercial horticulture and that they are conse- quently included in the above totals. Comparison with Returns obtained by the Ministry of Agri- culture.—The particulars afforded by these ‘Industry’ Tables enable comparison to be made with the returns obtained by the Ministry in the Agricultural Schedule in the same year —viz., 1921. The returns on the Agricultural Schedule are statements made by the occupier of the land as to the number of persons actually employed on the date of the return, whether as regular or casual workers, excluding the occupier, his wife and domestic servants, but including sons or other relatives working on the farm. These figures should to some extent be comparable with those given in the Industry Tables, though the latter are dependent on statements made by the worker, while the others rest on statements made by the occupier of the land, and there is room for considerable differences in the persons included in each case. Exact agreement is not to be expected, but the comparison between the two sets of figures, so far as it can be made, is shown below for the year 1921.
