[No. 73

Estimated Areas under Wheat, Oats, Barley, and Potatoes (Season 1935-36).

Census and Statistics Office,
Wellington, 23rd October, 1935.

As in previous years, cards were sent out by post to grain-growers and to potato-growers throughout the Dominion asking them to state what areas they had sown or planted, or intended to sow or plant, in wheat, oats, barley, and potatoes this season. It may be well to note that only holdings of 1 acre and over outside borough boundaries are covered by the figures appearing below. In the case of potatoes a fair amount is undoubtedly grown on the smaller holdings and on holdings situated within boroughs.

1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright.
