STATISTICS AFFECTING BRITISH 
AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS. 
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE STATISTICS, 1893. 
The official report on the Crops of 1893 was issued by the Board of 
Agriculture on April 27, 1894, under the usual title of “Agri- 
cultural Produce Statistics.” The extraordinary nature of last 
year’s harvest, and the disasters which befell the great majority of 
farmers in that part of England lying south of the valley of the 
Trent, are abundantly reflected in Major Craigie’s report, which is 
prefixed to the tables, and from which the subjoined details are 
extracted. The summary table presented on pp. 416-17 is compiled 
partly from the Agricultural Produce Statistics, and partly from the 
previously issued Agricultural Returns. 
Totals for the United Kingdom. 
To enable a general statement to be prepared for the United 
Kingdom — exclusive of the Isle of Man and Channel Islands, where 
statistics of this nature are not collected — particulars of the yield of 
the Irish crops have been included. 
In dealing with the aggregate results obtained by combining the 
available data, it must be remembered that these totals fail in some 
respects to indicate the characteristics of the season of 1893, which 
perhaps more than any recent year was distinguished by a striking- 
variety of local experience. Throughout Ireland, with the exception 
of a section of the country in the South-East, the year proved a pro- 
ductive one, while Scotland and some of the more northerly English 
counties similarly escaped the more serious effects of the prolonged
