TABLE 5. Average Yield per Acre of the Principal Farm Crops in England and Wales in ten-year periods from 1886-1895 to 1916-1925 Figures for individual years will be found in the annual issues of the Agricultural Statistics. TABLE 6. Acreage and Production of other Farm Crops in 1925. * In addition to the areas here shown, there were areas of these crops on which the crop was cut for green fodder or silage. The total areas under the respective crops are given in the Agricultural Statistics for 1925. TABLE 7. Acreage and Production of Vegetables, Flowers, Nursery and Glasshouse Produce in 1925. (See Chapter III.) * These crops accounted for 67 per cent. of the total value of glasshouse produce. NOTE. The areas of most of the crops as shown in this table differ from those published in the Agricultural Statistics, 1925, as the areas given in this table relate to the total areas from which a crop was taken in the year, whereas those given in the Agricultural Statistics relate to the areas actually under the particular crop on 4th June, 1925. * The acreages of the different kinds of small fruit differ from those published in the Agricultural Statistics, 1925, and given on page 38 of this Report, owing to the areas of mixed small fruit being allotted to the different varieties. †The acreage of orchards under which small fruit was being grown (31,444 acres) is included both in the orchard acreage and the small fruit areas. The total acreage of fruit in 1925 was 274,989 acres. The production of other kinds of orchard fruit (chiefly nuts) was not estimated. TABLE 9.
