512 Report on th& Fti'i'm Pnz6 Competition in 
for all England and Wales is four. Again, the number of 
owtiers of 1,000 acres and under 10,000 in Lincoln is only 
exceeded in the two cases of York and Norfolk. In the latter 
there are 211 such owners, in Lincoln 210. 
On the other hand, Lincolnshire is almost as remarkable for 
the great number of small owners of land in it. Thus, there 
are no less than 13,380 people who own each an acre or more of 
land, but under 50 acres. Yorkshire, with its enormous area, has 
only 21,701 of such occupiers, and most other counties are left 
very far behind indeed in this comparison. 
The principal owners are the Earl of Yarborough, Lady 
Willoughby de Eresby, Mr. H. Chaplin, Lord Aveland, the 
Marquis of Bristol, the Crown, Earl Dysart, !Mr. C. Turnor, and 
others with estates almost as large. 
The following table gives some interesting particulars of the 
number of farms of certain sizes in the counties of Lincoln and 
Notts, with corresponding figures for the whole of England: —
