The following Schedules point out Sir John Lawes' estimate of the 

 yields per acre of the cereal crops generally grown in this country, to 

 which are attached sale prices in accordance with the relative quotations 

 used in the two preceding relations to the Wilton House Home Farm 

 accounts. The estimate here made of the meat products is founded on 

 the proportion which Sir John's estimates bear to the realised quantities 

 of produce realised by the Wilton Farm ; for instance, Sir John esti- 

 mates wheat 28yo bushels per acre, while the attainment on the Wilton 

 Farm was 36 bushels (the requisite in the scheme of production). Con- 

 sequently, the difference has been adopted as the ratio of products, and 

 the estimate for meat products stands accordingly : mutton, 121 £ lbs. 

 per acre in proportion to 155f lbs. Thus, taken for granted the ratio of 

 decrease as equivalents, and confirm the adoption of the estimate for 

 hay, root, and green crops and cereals as equivalent in ratio.
