MINISTEY OF AGMCULTUKE AND FISHERIES. 



ORDNANCE SURVEY MAPS. 



The plans on the scale of 1/2500 or 25.344 inches 

 to one mile are of special use to farmers and agricul- 

 turists generally. They are published for the whole of 

 the cultivated areas of the United Kingdom, and show 

 every ENCLOSUEE, EOAD, STEEAM, FOOTPATH, 

 BUILDING and PLANTATION. ALL PUBLIC 

 BOUND AEIES are also shown. 



Each plan covers an area 1^ miles by I mile, and 

 contains 960 acres. All FIELDS and ENGLOSUEES 

 are given a reference number, and the acreage of each is 

 printed on the plan. The acreage is computed, 

 generally, to the centre of the fence or other boundary 

 of the enclosure. LEVELS are shown on the plans, 

 facilitating their use for field drainage purposes. 



The numbers of the Fields are required in con- 

 nection with the claims in connection with the Minimum 

 Prices of Wheat and Oats for 1921. 



On this scale a square inch on the plan equals, for 

 practical purposes, an acre on the ground; thus large 

 fields can be sub-divided for different crops, and a 

 record of cropping kept on the plan. 



The price of each plan is 5/-. The maps can be 

 obtained from agents in all large towns, or direct 

 from : —
