Mr. BURNS

The acreage of agricultural land within the meaning of the Agricultural Bates Act, 1896, cannot be stated. I am informed, however, by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries that the acreage of land under crops and grass in Wales and Monmouth was:—

3,066,865 acres in 1900.

3,016,584 acres in 1910.
