Title:: Chapter VII. Number and size of holdings

Collection:: Economics Books

7 has been sought from occupiers in the annual return on many occasions. Unfortunately, however, and for no very obvious reasons, many occupiers, even those who otherwise fill in the rest of the return willingly and accurately, evince great reluctance to answer the question as to whether they own the holding ; and, in addition, examination has shown a number of cases where the statements made by the same person in respect of the same holding in different years were such as to give rise to doubt as to their accuracy. In the circumstances any available statistics can only be regarded with great reserve.* At the same time it is estimated that over 25 per cent. of the holdings in the country, comprising a fairly similar percentage of the total acreage of crops and grass, are owned by their occu- piers. It can also be stated with certainty that these percentages are considerably higher now than at the end of the war and that the increase is very largely due to the purchase of holdings by their occupiers at a time when many large estates were changing hands and being broken up. * Details of the returns actually received in different years are given in Part I of the Agricultural Statistics for 1924.
