diseases, together with a statement of the measures to be taken

An alteration has been made this year in the mode of publi- 

 cation of the Agricultural Statistics issued by the Board. Refer- 

 ence was made by Major Craigie, in his 

 Acpeag-e and Live i^st Report, to the growth of the annual 



Stock Returns , r lu a ^. ^ j? . c 

 of Great Britain, volume of the Agricultural Returns from 



53 pages in 1867 to 368 pages in 1905, and 

 in view of the increasing demand for statistical information it 

 is not to be expected that this extension has reached its limit. 

 It has been thought, therefore, that it may be more convenient 

 to issue the volume in four parts, which may, if desired, be 

 bound together to form the whole volume as before, or may be 

 separately available for those who wish to possess only some of 

 the tables. The first part (Cd. 3281, price sd.), which has just 

 been issued, contains the Acreage and Live Stock Returns of 

 Great Britain with summaries for the United Kingdom, and is 

 prefaced by a Report by Mr. R. H. Rew, reviewing some of the 

 principal features in the changes in the cultivated area, the 

 areas devoted to different crops, and the numbers of live stock.
