"The Agricultural and Pastoral Statistics Act, 1895."—Interim Return 1900-1.—Notice No. 615.

THE attached table shows the areas under grain crops; also the grain on hand. The collection was commenced this year on the 15th October, or a month earlier than previously. This has enabled the publication of the figures at a correspondingly early date. The crops, however, are not sufficiently far advanced to allow an estimate of the yield to be made, but this will be done as soon as it can with any degree of accuracy. The harvest will be later than usual. The prospects are good, and with genial weather the returns should be quite up to the average. The area under wheat is less by 62,831 acres, but under oats there is an increase of 44,676 acres. The quantity of wheat on hand is somewhat less, but there is still a large stock of oats.
