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

Census and Statistics Office, Wellington, 14th July, 1925.

THE collection of agricultural and pastoral statistics for the season 1924–25 is now sufficiently advanced to enable preliminary figures to be given for the Dominion. Apart from any clerical error consequent upon the haste in compiling this return, the figures should be practically identical with the final figures, as only three counties are incomplete out of the 129 which comprise the Dominion.

MALCOLM FRASER, Government Statistician.
