 nearly 2^ below 1913, losing altogether 1,020,000 tons (14 per 

 cent.) in the total out-turn. In England, however, there was 

 a gain of t)6(),000 tons. 



Mangold in England, although improving on the previous 

 3'ear's average yield, was over a ton per acre below the ten- 

 year average. Largely owing to the greater acreage the total 

 output in 1914 in that country was over 285,000 tons (nearly 

 4 per cent.) above 1913. 



One of the worst crops of 1914 was Hay, the average yield 

 in Great Britain being in the case of rotation grass nearly 

 l|, and in that of pasture nearly 2 cwt. per acre below the 

 average of the ten years, 1904-13. Coming directly after the 

 very high yields of 1913, these poor results, together with
