Mr. Colville

The estimated value of the agricultural output of Scotland in the year 1908 was £26,450,000. The estimated value of the output in the year June, 1936, to May, 1937, was £40,385,000, which on the basis of the index number of agricultural prices for 1908 is roughly equivalent to £28,600,000.
