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

Census and Statistics Office, Wellington, 7th July, 1922.

The collection of agricultural and pastoral statistics for the season 1921–22 is now sufficiently advanced to enable preliminary figures to be given for the Dominion. Complete returns have so far been received from 111 counties out of the 129 which comprise the Dominion, and estimates have been made for the incomplete portions of the remaining eighteen counties. The tables appended hereto are, of course, liable to revision on the complete returns coming to hand.

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 ... NZGOAL is the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence ... [t]o the greatest extent possible, agencies should apply this licence to copyright material on their websites"
