13s. per acre, and in the south-west it rises to 19s. per acre. 
The wide differences in these areas are probably due to the good 
quality of much of the pasture in these districts. On the other 
hand, it is noticeable that in the northern and the north-western 
divisions the average rental of pasture holdings is somewhat 
below that of arable holdings. The highest rents for arable 
farms are in the north-west, while the lowest rentals are found 
in Wales. 
As regards rough grazings, information regarding the average 
rental value was obtained separately from crop reporters, but, 
in addition, reporters were asked to estimate the average number 
of live stock grazed on rough grazing land with the object of 
providing some indication of the tenants’ capital required in 
respect of such land (see section 3 of this chapter). These par- 
ticulars are shown in the following table :—

The estimated average rental value of rough grazing land 
varies considerably in different districts. In the eastern and 
north-eastern divisions, and the east and west midlands the 
estimated average is between 7s. and 8s. per acre, while in the 
south-west it is as low ag 4s., and in North Wales only 3s. per 
acre. 
The various estimates given above provide a means of calcu- 
lating the gross rental value of agricultural land (including 
buildings) in England and Wales. This has been done by apply-
