seed, which are dealt with in section (k) of this chapter. Some estimates were obtained from the Crop Reporters which may be Mentioned as a matter of interest, though with small crops of this character they are not likely to be complete, especially as details of the individual crops were not obtained for all districts. Buckwheat was reported as grown on about 1,750 acres and Maize on rather over 1,000 acres, while crops such as lupins and Mustard for ploughing in and mixed silage crops accounted for Some 800 acres. Teazles were reported on 150 acres and tobacco On 20 acres. (f) Other Vegetable crops grown mainly for human consumption. Hatent of information obtained. —There is a multiplicity of ‘rops of varying degrees of importance included under the heading of crops grown mainly or entirely for use as vegetables for human consumption. The Ministry already obtains each year Particulars of the acreage of the more important of these, viz., Peas and beans for picking green, cabbage, brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli, carrots, onions, celery and rhubarb. The Crop Reporters made estimates of the average yield per acre of each of these crops for the whole of their districts in 1925. The Separate areas or the production of the remaining vegetable Cops are not easy to ascertain with any degree of accuracy, as in Many cases more than one crop is taken in the course of the year from the same piece of ground, while in addition such crops are sold by the bundle, bunch, crate, &c. and hardly admit of being reduced to any standard unit. It is recognised therefore that Such information* as was obtained in regard to these minor Vegetable crops is subject to a wide margin of error. Particulars 35 to the individual crops are not given, only the total value being Estimated. As regards comparison with 1908 the information in regard to Some of these minor crops which was obtained in connection With the previous census was more scanty than that obtained 1925, and it is possible that the figures of the earlier year may have heen under-estimated. On the other hand, the cultivation of Vegetables has certainly increased and this industry, owing % its size and nature, lends itself easily to extension on a telatively greater scale than that of other crops. The estimated acreage and production of vegetable Crops in 1924 95 is shown in Table 7 in the Appendix. The acreage shown is that from which it is estimated that crops were taken Im the year, and differs somewhat from the figures published in — A special form was sent to all occupiers of holdings who appeared bo be growing vegetables on their holdings asking for the acreage of each Vegetable crop grown in the twelve months ending September 1925, On the basis of the returns obtained the area of each of the vegetable Crops not, shown separately in the return was estimated. The average yield Per acre of these vegetable crops was estimated by the Ministry's Horti- Culturg] Division.
