NOTE.—The Superintendent Collectors for the North Canterbury and South Otago districts state that the estimates of grain produce, as given above, may be accepted as fairly accurate. The collection was in many cases made after the result of threshing was known, and in other instances it has been shown that farmers are quite as much given to under-estimating as to over-estimating their yield.
