The Census and Statistics Act, 1910.—Agricultural and Pastoral Statistics.

Office of the Registrar-General, Wellington, 7th August, 1911.

THE last collection of the Agricultural and Pastoral Statistics was made by the Department of Agriculture in October, 1908. No collection was made either in 1909 or in 1910; but in April last a return, in connection with the General Census, was taken under the provisions of the Census and Statistics Act, 1910.

A return of corn and green crops appeared in the New Zealand Gazette of the 6th July last, and the following week the actual yields of the principal crops were gazetted.

The following tables show the number of horses, cattle, pigs, and angora goats in the Dominion, and the respective totals by districts and counties. With reference to sheep, the returns are collected annually by the Department of Agriculture, and are quite independent of the ordinary agricultural and pastoral returns. The final figures for 1911 are not yet complete; otherwise they would have been given county by county with the other live-stock. An interim return (of sheep), however, has been published, which shows the large decrease of 515,035.

Government Statistician.
