STATISTICAL TABLES Table 1. —Combined Statistical Data on Departmental Development Schemes (all Districts)

Table 2.—Analysis of Cash Receipts for the Year 1945-46

Note. —Butterfat receipts for State schemes denote only that proportion of cream cheques which is assigned to the Department in repayment of advances and interest due thereon. On settled schemes the policy is to accept an assignment of a percentage of the farmers' monthly cream cheque, leaving the balance for maintenance and living expenses. On those dairying schemes which have not yet been individualized, th§ full amount received for butterfat is retained, the workers being paid wages, but in the majority of cases a proportion only of the cream returns is actually paid to the Department.
