Paragraph 8. Financial Results Grouped per size 

 of Farm. 



The .VJ.'i farms have been grouped into classes according 

 to tin size of the farms, with the result shown in tin- 

 following table.

The profit per acre and the cipital per acre is greatest 

 on the smallest holdings (1 to 100 acres). 



On these farms of 1 to 100 acres, the fact that no 

 charge is included among the expenses for personal services 

 of the occupier would have a comparatively greater effect 

 than on the larger farms, and would cause a relatively 

 high profit to appear. 



Average Acreage of Farm* 325 Farms. 



It will be seen from Table 14 that the average acre- 

 age of all the farms is 431 acres. 



There are 115 tenant farms in England and Wales 

 with an average of 341 acres. 



'.'."> owners, England and Wales, average 403 acres. 



81 home farms, England and Wales, average 509 acres. 



34 Scottish farms, average 626 acres. 



The average of all the mixed farms (266 in number) 

 is 408 acres, and of all the dairy farms (40 in number) 

 255 acres. 



These figures shew that the smaller size of holding is 

 not well represented in the accounts that have been 

 received. 



Paragraph 9. Financial Results of Accounts- 

 Grouped per type of Farm. 



The types of farms dealt with in this paragraph are : 



Mixed, 



Dairy, 



Corn and Sheep, 



Sheep. 



Table 16 is a Final Summary of the accounts, grouped 

 according to the type of farming carried on, and shewing 

 bow the profit is made up. The results disclosed are :

Paragraph 10. Details of Income, per Acre, and per 

 cent. 



Ml Fnrmt. 



Table " 18 " gives details of the chief items making up 

 the total income. Each item is worked " per acre " and in 

 also expressed as a percentage of the total. 



This table is an extension of Table "D" in paragraph 7 

 of the Interim Report. 



Taking the whole of the farms, it will be seen that 48 

 per cent, of the total income is received from live stock. 



In each of the classes of farms the income from live 

 stock is of course an important item, ranging from 43 

 per cent, of the total income in case of owner-occupiers, 

 England and Wales, to 57 per cent, in case of home 

 farms, Scotland. 



The income from com, hay and straw, &c. is next in 

 order of importance ; being, in the case of the whole of 

 the farms, 29 per cent, of the total, and ranging from 13 

 per cent, with owner-occupiers, Scotland, to 35 per cent. 

 with tenant farm-'. Scotland 



The income from milk and dairy "produce is, on tin- 

 average of the whole of the farms, 16 per cent, of the total. 



Taking the " per acre " figures, the income on the whol.- 

 of the farms works out at 8 17s. \<l. ]r acre ; tenant 

 farmers, England and Wal.-s, shew the highest income per 

 acre ('Jin IS*. ."/.). 



The small value per acre represented in the Scottish 

 accounts is caused to a large extent by moorland, waste, 

 &c. on some of the Scottish farms. 



"Other receipts" include, for example, sales of wool, 

 grass keep, sporting rights, etc. 



It is probable that in the majority of cases nothing is 

 included with the income in respect of farm produce. fuel, 

 &c. consumed by the farmer and his household. 1 1 is also 

 likely that in a number of cases sundry rcrnpts from 

 eggs, poultry, &c. are not included. 



Paragraph 11. Details of Expenditure, per Acre, 

 and per cent. 



All Fa i 



1'.) " gives details of the chief items making up 

 the total expenditure. Each item is expressed as a 

 percentage of the total and is also worked out " per acre." 



This table is an extension of the table on page 8 of 

 tin- Interim Report. 



It will be seen that the combined ex|>enditure on live 

 stock, foodstuffs and manures, &c. represent, in each of 

 the classes of farms, about 50 per cent, of the total, being 

 highest in the case of tenant farms, England (." 

 and lowest in the cise of home farms, England, (4(> per 

 cent.) 



Expenditure on live stock varies from 2H ] i cent, with 

 owner-occupiers, Scotland, to 34 per cent, tenant farms, 

 England and Wales. 



Foodstuffs, manures, &c. vary from 18 per cent, with 

 home farms, Scotland, to 27 per cent, with owner- 

 occupiers, Scotland. 



Included with the item "Rates" is probably some 

 insurance and possibly a little Income Tax. 



' Otlu-rexpeus:-*" include. . ..< .. r pairs and maintenance, 

 threshing, hire of tractor*, carriage, A . . 



Further comments on rent and wages appear in the next 

 paragraph. 



Paragraph 12. The Relation of Rent, Wages and 

 Profits. 



The great majority of these farms (just over 80 per 

 cent.) are Mixed Farms, and the particulars of the various 

 types are shewn in the table below.
