The position in regard to meadow hay was very similar, 

 the production above the decennial mean amounting to 35 tons 

 per acre. Both in Wales and Scotland this crop gave rather 

 better proportionate results than did the hay from clover and 

 rotation grasses.

 pared with rather over 10 million tons in 1902.
