CROP STATISTICS.
TO BE COLLECTED BY POST. Statistics regarding the agricultural and pastoral industries which have not been collected for three years, will be compiled this year. Mr Craigie, M.P. for Timaru, has been informed by the Minister for Agriculture that instructions will be given to officers of the Department immediately to prepare the necessary schedules. The census will be taken through the agency of the post, the schedules being delivered to farmers, sheep farmers, and settlers throughout the Dominion by post, and returned by them to the Department. Provision will be made in the schedules for the statement of the acreage sown in cereals, grass, roots, etc. They will be issued next month, and are to be returned in November; The taking of the census by means of the post will effect a saving of over £6OOO, the expenditure required when the schedules were delivered and collected by enumators.
