asked the Minister of Agriculture whether he will give the figures of the workers permanently and solely engaged in the main branches of agriculture in this country, distinguishing between those employed on grass land, on corn land, on root growing, on sugar-beet, in stock-keeping, and so forth?

Males 21 years old and over 441,944

I regret that I am unable to furnish the information asked for in the latter part of the question.
