§ Mr. ELLIOTThe replies to these questions involve in each case a lengthy statistical statement which I am sending direct to my hon. Friend, with a view to economy in printing. He will observe that in framing the answers, it has been assumed that by "the acreage under cultivation" is meant the area of arable land as recorded from time to time in "Agricultural Statistics."
