22 has been general ; no counties except Westmorland and Middlesex. and one or two in North Wales, show a smaller proportion of their arable land under oats than was the case in 1880. The total area of oats in 1925 was 1,868,000 acres. The highest oat yields are found in thie east of the country. During the 10 years 1915-24, the north eastern counties averaged 15-5 cwt. and the eastern counties 14:7 cwt. per acre, the remaining divisions ranging from 10-9 cwt. in South Wales to 13:6 cwt. in the northern counties. Thus, although the north- eastern and eastern divisions had together only 26 per cent. of the total oat acreage in 1925, their contribution to the total oat production amounted to 30 per cent. or 415,000 tons out of the total production of 1,379.000 tons. Mixed Corn.—The growing of mixed corn crops is of com- paratively little importance, except in a few counties of which Cornwall is the chief. The total area in 1925 was only 124,000 acres. The mixed corn crops of the south-west and Wales are mixtures of barley and oats, and provide fodder for live stock. On the other hand, much of the mixed corn returned in other parts of the country is a result of patching winter crops which have done badly. In Cornwall this crop generally gives a heavier yield than oats, and in 1925 gave a yield of 18-4 cwt. as compared with 14-9 cwt. for oats and 18-2 cwt. for barley. Similarly in Wales, mixed corn usually gives higher yields than oats in those counties where a fair acreage is grown. The total production of mixed corn in England and Wales in 1925 was 94,000 tons, of which 35,000 tons were produced in Cornwall, 9.200 tons in Devon and 10,700 tons in Wales. Rye.—The total area under rye in England and Wales (50,000 acres in 1925) represents an insignificant proportion of the arable area. Most counties have small areas of rye, the counties with the largest areas being Suffolk, Norfolk, Lincoln (Lindsey), Nottingham, Hampshire and the Bast, North and West Ridings of Yorkshire. It is estimated that over the whole country about three quarters of the crop is allowed to ripen, the remainder being grazed or cut green for fodder. Estimates of production have only been made in the last two years, and in 1925 the total production of grain was estimated at 26,000 tons, or nearly 14 cwt. per acre. Beans and Peas—Only about 3 per cent. of the arable land of the country is devoted to beans and peas, the former covering a larger area than the latter. By far the greatest acreage is found in the eastern and north eastern counties. Huntingdon, Suffolk, Essex, Bedford, Lincoln (Holland) and Worcester have over 4 per cent. of their arable area under beans, and the same counties with the exception of Bedford have 3 per cent. or more under peas. The average yield per acre of beans is lowest in the eastern counties (where the acreage is greatest) with less than 15 cwt
