I WILL now try to show the enormous importance of 

 the question of fuel and manure, both farmyard 

 manure and artificial manure, by means of the fol- 

 lowing Tables, II, III, IV, V, VI, VIA, VII, which 

 have been produced by reference to the Government 

 statistics of agricultural production and the Govern- 

 ment prices of the various productions. The agri- 

 cultural statistics give the acreage of each crop, and 

 they give the total production of a great many of 

 the crops. For some crops the Government give 

 no figures of production, and I have therefore had 

 to make an estimate. But the great bulk of the 

 figures are simply Government figures as to the 

 amount of production and Government figures as 

 to the value of the produce in rupees. 



As regards cattle, the figures are taken from the 

 Government statistics, but as regards the annual 

 value of the cattle the Government gives no statistics.
