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

Census and Statistics Office, Wellington, 22nd November, 1916.

THE last complete collection of Agricultural and Pastoral Statistics was made in connection with the Census of 1911, since when particulars of certain principal crops only have been collected annually by post.

Statistics for the 1915-16 season were collected on behalf of the Census and Statistics Office by police officers acting as Sub-Enumerators, who made a holding-to-holding canvass throughout the Dominion. The figures given in the subjoined tables include all holdings of 1 acre and upwards outside of borough and town-district boundaries.

The following tables give the areas in grain and pulse and green and root crops, and also the yields of these crops, for each county in the Dominion. The Dominion totals have already been published. Tables showing other cultivation and live-stock are in course of preparation, and will be published shortly.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
