AGRICULTURAL RETURNS, 1895. 



In August last, in accordance with the usual practice, the 

 IBoarcl of Agriculture issued a preliminary statement showing in 

 summary form the acreage of the principal crops and the number 

 of live stock in Great Britain on the 4th June 1895, as returned 

 by occupiers of land and owners of live stock. 



Further details were published in the Journal of the Board of 

 Agriculture for September, showing for each county in Great 

 Britain the area under wheat, potatoes, and hay respectively in 

 1895, together with the total number of cattle, sheep, and pigs 

 in each county. A separate statement was also issued showing 

 the area under hops in each county of England in which hops 

 were grown. 



The following statement extracted from Tables I. and II., 

 which were published in October last, show the extent and 

 distribution of the cultivated land enumerated as under any 

 crop, bare fallow, or grass, together with the n\imber and classes 

 of live stock in Great Brita-in, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, 

 including the particulars received from the Isle of Man and the 

 Channel Islands.
