CATTLE AND SHEP RETURNS.
1923 AND 1924 COMPARED.
The following Jable gives some idea of the extent of farming operations in the Dominion. A comparison is given
The total population is thus estimated to have increased by 22,662, or '1.70 per cent.
The area occupied has decreased by 80,599 acres (0.18 per cent.) whilst the number of holdings in 1924 was 620 greater than in 1923 (0.72 per cent.) The reduction in area is largely due to reversion of land from lease (by Europeans) to Maori communal ownership. In one county alone this amounted to nearly 140,000 acres.
