§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Minister of Agriculture what deduction he proposes to make from the national average yield of barley and oats in respect of tailings, unsound grain and waste; and whether he is satisfied as to the accuracy of the present methods of estimating yields.
§ Sir T. DugdaleThe deduction will be 7½ per cent. for each crop. While I am always ready to consider any suggestions for improvement, I have no present reason for questioning the accuracy of the existing methods of estimating yields.
