Comparison of this with figures which appeared in last year's report 

 will indicate substantial increases in the number of head of livestock and 

 poultry. Nearly one thousand acres of new land have been cleaned up and 

 there is a corresponding increase in the area under cultivation by these people 

 which, it will be noted from the foregoing, aggregates 3435 acres, a matter of 

 between five and six square miles. 



In all, 600 Relief Land Settlers received transportation from the inception 

 of the work until its suspension. Of these, 42 returned without any attempt 

 to settle. The remaining 93 returned from *ime to time for reasons already 

 given. 



Insofar as returnees are concerned, the following table is of interest: 



1932 1933 1934 



Returned without locating 10.6% 4.0% 1-4% 



Returned after locating 26 . 5 10.8 10 . 9 



Remained on land 62 . 9 85 . 2 87 . 7 



In 1932, 10.6% of those who received transportation made no attempt 

 whatever to become established and within a few days of departure returned
