During the latter part of this period, however, control of prices of agricultural commodities was in operation and between the end of 1916 and the end of 1919 there was not in the case of many of the more important products a free market. Control of prices was removed by stages and in most cases agricultural commo- dities were free from control by the end of 1920. In regard to the movement of agricultural prices in relation to that of feeding stuffs and fertilisers the changes which have taken place will be seen from the following table, which gives the percentage by which the average figure for each year from 1914 to 1925 exceeded the average in the three base years 1911-13. 1914 1915 1916 1917 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1923 1924 1925 Year.

The two sets of figures cannot be taken as strictly representing arable and pasture farming respectively, but they do show to some extent the different effects of price changes upon those farmers who depended mainly upon sales of vegetable products and of animal products re- spectively. The fourth period, 1920-1923, saw a very rapid fall in prices, as is indicated in the above table and in Diagrams VII and VIII. Agricultural prices again moved in close harmony with general
