104 gricultural holdings, so that there remain 360,000 separate gricultural holdings which may provide either full or partial ccupation for approximately the same number of occupiers. here is some duplication owing to a number of farmers ccupying more than one farm, and there must certainly be an ppreciable number of persons for whom the management of heir farm or holding is not their main occupation or source of ivelihood and who would not describe themselves as farmers r by any similar designation. The number of persons who ould be classed in the Census either as employers or as working on their own account must therefore be very appreciably less han the 360,000 separate holdings referred to above, and it eems fairly safe to accept the evidence of the Industry Tables rom which it appears that the number is approximately 300,000, made up of 264,000 ““ farmers *’ and, say, about 39,000 gardeners nurserymen, etc stimate of total number of persons engaged in agriculture. — On the whole, taking the evidence of all these figures together, it eems reasonable to suppose that the total number of poring mployed in the agricultural and horticultural industries in 1925 was in the neighbourhood of 800,000, which, with about 300,000 mployers or persons working on their own account, gives a total f 1,100,000 engaged in the industry. It should be noted that this figure of 1,100,000 persons engaged n the industry is subject to the qualifications that whereas on he one hand the number of employers does not include certain ccupiers of land for whom agriculture is a secondary interest, n the other hand the number of workers includes a certain umber, especially females, who are not full-time workers through- ut the year. o account is taken, however, of the large number of seasonal orkers who are not on farms on the 4th June when the Ministry's eturns are collected, but who receive temporary work in fruit, op and pea picking, ete. The term ° casual worker,” as dis- inct from regular farm hand, covers a wide range of labour, varying from skilled hedgers and thatchers who move from farm o farm down to young persons employed in hop gardens. Con- equently, whereas, the figure of 800,000 workers is probably in excess of the number of persons fully employed throughout he year in agriculture, it is certainly deficient as a measure f the total number of persons who labour on the land at some ime of the year. In relation to the cultivated area, the estimate of 800,000 orkers indicates an average employment of 3-1 persons per 00 acres, while if to these are added employers and those working n their own account the number whose main occupation is onnected with the land is about 4-3 persons per 100 acres. If the figures of persons engaged in agriculture are applied o the total value of the output as estimated in Chapter VI, it appears that the average output per person employed was £282 in 1925, while the average output per person, including employers
