{0 and 1908 practically all counties showed increases, but those in Norfolk, Lincoln and Cambridge were exceptionally heavy. Since 1908, however, the bulk of the increase in acreage Ii accounted for by these three counties, with Essex, Suffolk and Hampshire also showing substantial increases. (h) Hops. The acreage of hops grown in this country is now much less than it was fifty years ago, when 70,000 acres were under this crop, as compared with 26,256 acres in 1925. Kent has maintained its position as the chief hop-producing county and, with rather over 60 per cent. of the total area, has much the same proportion as formerly; but the general reduc- tion in acreage over the whole country has been much less pro- nounced in the western hop counties than in the south-eastern, Hereford and Worcester together now providing 24 per cent. of the hop acreage as compared with only 13 per cent. in 1880. That Kent should have retained pride of place regarding hop acreage is not surprising in view of the consistently heavier yields recorded in that county. During the past ten years the Kent hop fields have averaged some 12% cwt. per acre, while other counties range from 11 cwt. in Sussex and Hampshire to rather over 9 cwt. in Hereford. Owing to its high proportion of the total area and its high yield per acre, Kent produced in 1925 some 70 per cent. of the 355,000 cwt. of hops grown in England. The decline in the hop acreage has been accompanied by an improvement in the yield per acre. Hence total production. although less than before the war, has not declined proportionately to the total area. The average annual production since 1886 has been as follows :— Average annual production of Hops.

From estimates made by the crop reporters of the area of crops other than vegetable or farm crops included under the heading of other crops in the agricultural returns and the special returns obtained. from growers of crops other than farm crops:
