105 and farmers working on their own account, was £205. These averages are not comparable with those for 1908 as given in the Census of Production Report of that year. On that occasion all the occupiers of agricultural holdings were taken into account, and, in addition, it would appear that the number of workers was somewhat overstated. Number of workers employed in relation to size of holdings.— The fact that the number of workers employed is returned on the Agricultural Schedule with the area of the holding has enabled an analysis to be made which shows approximately the proportionate extent to which the different sized holdings provide employment.

In fact, owing to the miscellaneous character of the plots and pieces of land ncluded in the group between 1 and 5 acres the figures have not much significance. An examination of the returns shows that the labour employed is oreater on holdings which are mainly arable than on mixed
