In the eastern counties it is naturally at its maximum and 
diminishes in the counties with a large pasture area. Thus in 
West Suffolk, 84 per cent. of the total cultivated acreage is in 
farms of this type, in Cambridge 80 per cent., Lincoln (Holland) 
and Isle of Ely 75 per cent., Norfolk 72 per cent., and East Suffolk 
69 per cent., while in Leicester, Hereford, Somerset, Westmorland 
and several Welsh counties the proportion occupied by arable 
farms is less than 2 per cent. The figures for each county are 
Siven in Table 24 in the Appendix, and they are also shown 
graphically in Map XVII. For this purpose the cultivated area 
which is occupied by holdings under 20 acres is not taken into 
account as the object is to show the extent of land in the different 
counties occupied by the definitely agricultural holdings of 
different types. 
5. Farms exceeding 20 acres in extent, mainly pasture land.— 
The farms included in this group have as a minimum 70 per cent. 
of their area in permanent pasture, and the following table shows 
that the average proportion is over 87% per cent., and in farms 
from 20-50 acres, nearly 93 per cent. in permanent pasture. In 
addition, these farms have small areas under rotation grasses. 
The number of live stock carried is generally proportionately 
heavier on the smaller sized farms, and is appreciably larger than 
On the mainly arable farms, except as regards pigs.
