Agricultural Returns, 1921. 



[Dec, 



The total production is estimated at 3.197.000 tons, or 2,430,000 tons less than 

 in 1920, and this and the yield per acre are the lowest recorded except for the 

 year 1893. The total quantity of hay produced is thus about 5,340,000 tons, 

 which is about 35 per cent, less than last year, and about 2,000,000 tons less 

 than the average of the 10 years 1911-20. 



The estimate of the hop crop was issued on 20th October.* The estimates 

 of the potato and root crops will be issued later in the year.
