PRESENTED TO BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT BY IDS EXCELLENCY'S COMMAND .
On the 25th June, 1861, I had the 'honor to publish an approximate .Agrloultura1 Statistics 1br
GenerarSummary of the Agricultural Statistics, showing the acreage, occupied itrot"'1k:mding 31st
and cultivated, and the quantity' Of produce raised "in' each- Cbunty and Pastoral District during the year ending' 3fst March, 1861. I now submit detailed Tables of the same Statistics, and take the opportunity further to illustrate the subject in the following Report.
2 Two years ago I issued the first of a 'series of " Statistical Notes on statistical NolLs 9" the • '" PrOflTe,,. of Victoria,
the Progress of VICtOrIa from the FoundatIOn of the Colony." The first and Parts I and II.
second series of the Notes were published, for 'the sake of convenience, in con-nection with the Agricultural Statistics of 1859 and 1860; but they embraced many important subjects other than the development of our food-industries. At a later period, in a prefatory essay to the Victorian Exhibition Catalogue P"'t 'atory ... eaV~~tY ~ CaEta-

of 1861, I expanded these notes so as to comprIse a large mass of facts addl- hibitionof186l,
tionally illustrative of our physical, intellectual, and moral progress. Subse-quently tothe publication of this 'essay anlnter-'Colonial Statistical Conference Statistioo,lConf.",nceheld
was held (during' the months of October and November last) at my offices ~dW~~~:be~,l~~ber in Melbourne, under the authority of certain 'of the Australian Governments. The officers who attended this I 'conference were :-, 1. The Registrar-General of New South Wales (Christopher Rolleston, Esq.); 2: 'l'he Registrar-General of Queensland (Frederick Orme Darvall, Esq,); 3. The Superintendent of the South Australian Census (Josiah' Boothby, Esq,);' and '4. The Registrar-General of Victoria. These gentlemen were unanimous in their conclusions A \Wiform plan of stan ...

colony on a simple and uniform plan, They held nine formal sittings, and went carefully over every return hitherto published in their respective yearly statistics, They eventually agreed upon such modifications of the old stereo-typed form of Colonial Blue Book as will have the effect of altogether changing
, its style and character. • It would be premature' for me to enter on a description of our proposed future publications: but I may mention that henceforth the Statistic Year Books, of New South 'Vales, South Australia, Queensland, and Victoria will, in the main,' accord, in their groupings with those adopted in the" Statistical Notes" and 44 Prefatory Statistical Essay" above alluded to. This agreement, on'the part of Australian Colonies to unite in carrying out unity of plan in statistical collection and tabulation, not only in regard to the Census, but in respect. to all other important data, will not only be satisfactory to colonists themselves, but will be highly approved by statists in every part of the world, In consequence of this arrangement it will not be necessary for me henceforth to take advantage of the publication of the Agricultural Statistics in detail to prefix, as heretofore, a tractate on the general progress of the country. That can appear in connection with Reports r~el1~ral Pr!,
the full General Statistics of each year, I now, therefore, in the following ~r~~t;;'o~~=l.t~~ paragraphs limit my observations to the Agricultural and Pastoral Statistics of the year ending 31st March, 1861.
NUMBER .AND EXTENT OF HOLDINGS. '
" . 3, The holders ,of' purchased land in"·the l year 'ending '31st ,March, 1861, numbered 13,653, 'against 1'3,175 in tIie year'ending 31st March, 1860.

The increase is not so great as in the previous year, in which 'the holders were augmented by 1,602, being ltn addition of 13'8 per cent., whilst in the year under review the augmentation was only 478, or 3'6 per cent. In the former year all the classes of holdings, without exception, showed increased numbers, but in the latter; the first four classes, comprising all those under 50 acres, had decreased by 93. The remaining five classes, including all those from 50 acres upwards, were more numerous; a tendency to occupy larger lots being thereby indicated. The increase or decrease in the number of each class of holdings is seen in the following table ;-

4. The extent ofland in occupation was increased during the year by. upwards of half a million of acres (501,426!), an augmentation somewhat larger than that between 1860 and 1859, when the increase did not quite reach half a million of acres (496,450~). In the previous year (1859) the increase in the extent of land occupied was 406,022i acres, and in the year before that (1858) it was 580,785Jj; acres. .
5. All the classes of holdings showed an increase in the quantity of land in occupation except the three first, comprising all lots of a less area. than 30 acres, and these showed a slight decrease. Tbe extent of land. embraced in holdings of each class during the years ending 31st March, 1~60 and 1861, is compared in the following tahle, whereby it is seen that of the 501,400 additional acres occupied during the year, 401,400, or upwards of four-fifths, were in lots of the largest size, viz., those of 500 acres and upwards, whilst nearly 35,000 acres, or, upwards of a third of the remainder were in lots of from 100 to .200 acres:- ' TABU; B.-VICTORIA.-The Aggregate Extent of Land comprised'in Holdings of each Class in

6. All the counties showed an increased breadth of land in occupation, with the exception of Bourke and Heytesbury, in both of which there was an.

v
apparent decrease. The greatest increase; amounting to upwards of 98,000 acres, took place in Grenville, a county containing land suitable both for 'pastoral pursuits and agriculture, and also including some of our leading gold-fields within its boundaries. The next largest increase, amounting to upwards of 56,000 acres, was in the fine agricultural county of Villiers ; next in order came Dundas, which, although the largest county in Victoria, and also the one possessing some of the finest land, had not, previous to the year reviewed, 47,000 acres in occupation; . but, in consequence of portions of the rich land bordering on the Wannon and its tributru'ies having been brought into the mru'ket, this quantity was, during the year, supplemented by the addition of 43,000 acres. Hampden, Ripon, Grant, and Talbot, each showed an increase of upwards of 30,000 acres of occupied land; the Wimmera, the Loddon, the Murray, and Gipps Land, each showed an increase of over 20,000 acres; Mornington, Normanby, Rodney, Anglesey, and Dalhousie, each showed an augmentation of upwards of 10,000 acres; Evelyn and Follett each showed upwards of 15,000 additional acres, and Polwarth an ·increase of 372 acres. In Bourke and Heytesbury there appeared a diminution to the extent, in the former, of 14,190 acres, and in the latter, of 2698 acres, making a total decrease in the two counties of 16,888! acres, against an increase of 518,314t acres in the other counties, leaving a surplus of increase, as has been ah'eady stated (par. 4),'amounting to 501,426! acres.
7. The quantity of land in occupation in each county during the last two years, ",jth the amount of its increase or decrease in the latter year, will be observed at one view in the follo,,"ing table:-

8. The average size of holdings is gradually increasing from year to year, or,.in other words, the extent of laud in occupation increases faster than the number of occupiers. Thus, in 1858 the average size of holdings throughout the Col9ny was 206 acres, jn 1859 it was 218 acres, in 1860 it was 229 acres, and in 1861 it was 258 acres.
. , 9 .. The average area of holdings in each county and district will be found in. the. first column of 1'ablc, VII., whereby it is ascertained that the

largest holdings are in the comparatively insignificant counties of Hampden and Follett, in the former the average being no less than 1,324 acres, and in
,the latter 1,071 acres. In Rodney the average is 757 acres, and in Dundas 602 acres. The only eounties in which the average is less than 200 acres are the Loddon and Dalhousie, in each of which it is 164 acres, and Bourke, in which it is 170 acres.

11. On comparing the average size of holdings in the different counties during the last three years, it is found that in some of them but little change has taken place, whilst in others the fluctuation has been considerable. Thus, holdings have been constantly largest in Hampden, while Follett has stood steadily second' on the list throughout the whole period; but Rodney, which now st.'lncls third, was fourth in 1860, and seventh in 1859. Bourke has been nineteenth on the list throughout tlie whole period, and Grant has stood in, the re1.ation of seventeen, eighteen, and seventeen. The figures against the different counties in the following table show the order in which they have stood as regards the average size of holdings during the last three years :-

12. For the purpose of ascertaininO' the average size of farms, as distinguished from that of holdings, it has );een the practice to deduct from the .total number of the latter all those under five acres, as being merely market gardens, and all those above 500 acres, as being occupied more for grazing purposes than agriculture. By this means it was found that in 1858 the average size of farms was 90 acres, in 1859 it had risen. to 95 acres, in 1860 it had again fallen to 94 acres, and in 1861 it had again risen to 103 acres.
13. By deducting the land on stations from tbe general total of purchased land in occupation, and dividing the residue by the number of non-squatting landholders, we have an average of 140 aCl~es to each holder, and by dividing the land so deducted by the number of squatting holders
. -
vii
of purchased land, we obtain an average of no less than 2,790 acres to each squatter.
14. The extent of land in occupation to each individual in the Colony averaged 6'5 acres in the year under review. In 1860 it averaged 5'6 acres, and in 1859 it averaged 4'9 acres; an increase being thus shown in two years of upwards of an acre and a half of occupied land per head to each individual of the population.
CULTIVATION OF THE LAND.
15. The area of land in cultivation in the year ending 31st March, 1861, ·amounted to 419,380 acres, against 358,728 acres in the previous year, and against 298,959 acres in the year before that (ending 31st March, 1859). The increase Qf tillage during the year amounted to 60,652 acres, which has been about the average annual increase of the last six years. The increase from· year to year displays considerable uniformity, as may. be observed by the folloVl-ring figures :-

16. A comparison of the number of acres under crop in each county and pastoral district during the two past years is made in Table III., p. 6, by which it appears that an increase took place in every county and district, with the single exception of Follett, wherein the cultivation was apparently less by six acres. -

17. The greatest absolute increase, amounting to 16,569 acres, was IucreaseoftillageineaelL county and district.
in Talbot; the next largest augmentation, amounting to 8,087 acres, being in the Murray; Dundas comes next in order, showing an increase of 6,741 acres; then Bourke, with an increase of 5,547 acres; Grant, Grenville, and Villiers follow, each showing an increase of about 3,000 acres ; then Gipps I,and, Vl-rith nearly 2,000 additional acres; and then Ripon, Hampden, and N ormanby appear, each .with an increase of upwards of 1,000 acres. In each of the remainder the increase of cultivation was less than 1,000 acres; the smallest augmentation being in Polwarth, where the land under tillage was only 28 acres in excess of that of the previous year.
18. The proportional increase upon the previous year, of land under Propo;rtio!,aI inprease of
cultivation, as seen by the same Table IlL, was greatest in the :Murray and =i;~~~~ldiS~~jct.cacll the Wimmera, namely, in the former upwards of 56 per cent., and in the latter more than 52 per cent. In Hampden the increase was 47 per cent. In Gipps Land it was 43 per cerit., in Dundas 41 per cent., and in Talbot, the county which showed the greatest absolute increase, it was 37 per cent.
19. It has been already stated that the extent of land in occupation Avemgeof]:;mlcultivate<l
increases faster than the number of occupiers; this is also the case with the fl61~ach occupier, 1807-
land under cultivation. In the year under review the average area cultivated by each holder was 30'7 acres, against 27'2 -acres in the previous year. In the year before that (1859) 25'8 acres under tillage was the average to each occupier; in 1858 the average was 23'2 acres, and in 1857 it was 23'9 acres. With reference to the two last mentioned years, it is, however, right to state t~at, previously to the year 1859, holders of allotments of a less area than one acre were returned with the other occupiers, which has not been done since that date, so that the change is not quite so great as stated.

The average ~u~ber'of acr~s';ofland cultivated by each occupier, aI,ld the ,prop9rtion of occupied land in cultivation in each county and district, ?ere.,given in the third and fourth columns of Tahle VII., p. 8, whereby it is shown that in Ripon as many as 73t acres are 'cultivated by ,each holder; the next largestql~antities being in Rodney, where oyer 44 acres are so cultivated; in T;11bot, where exactly 4:4 acres, and -in Dalhousie, wher~ 43~ acres are cultivated by each.· In the Murray, Villiers, Gr~nville, and, Grant districts upwards of 30 acres are cultivated by each occupier, and upwards of 20 acres in like manner in Heytesbllry, Hampden, Bourke, Evelyn, and Anglesey. The smallest average ,is in FollGtt, where the quantity cultivated by each holder is only 12 acres. The county of Normanby and the Wimmera district likewise present a low average, only 14 acres to the occupier being cultivated therein; as also does Dundas, in which there are but 15 acres cultivated to ' each holder.
22. The proportion of the occupied land in cultivation is greatest in Dalhousie, where 26 per cent. is cultivated. Talbot comes next, with 22 per cent,; the Lodclon follows with 18 per cent., and the Murray and Ripon appear with 16 per cent. In Follett the tillage extends over 1 per cent. only of the occupied land; it. coveA'S 2 per cent. in Hampden, and 2~ per cent. in Dundas. , , 23. The total quantity of land cultivated by occupiers of different siz~d holdings is fou'Ad in the fourth column of Table VIII., p. 8 ;' and the average area of land placed under cultivatio~ by each of the classes, the quantity. of land cultivated by ~ach class in proportion to the total area under cult~v.fttion, and the quantity of land cultivated in proportion to the extent helq by e!lch ,.class, will ,be found., in the third, fifth, and sixth columns of
! Table, IX., p. 9 ; by ex;:tmining which it will be seen that the greatest extent ,of land is cultivated by holders of lots ranging from 100 to 200 acres, J15,729 acres, or 27',6 peI: ,.cent. of the tota.1 tillage, having been placed under cultivation. by this. class. The next largest quantity of cv.ltivation, 80, 7.42 ~cres, OT 19:3. per.:cent. of ~h~ 'total, is due to the industry of holders . of allotments bytwe~n 200 alld 350 acres ill extent; close to which, in point of the amount 9f" their:.cultivation, .. are holders of lots of from ~50 to JOO acres,. showjng 79,~6.4,acr~s.under tillage, or 18'9 per cent. of the totaL l'he.enti~·~ area ·Gultivated by these thr~e classes amounts to 65'8 per cent., 9r very n~ar~y two-thirds of the ,whole, and this proportion, as regards the ~a~e .classes, has remained. unchanged for the last three years ...
_ 24: The land cultivated by holders of allotments of the largest· class, those: of 500 acres and upwards, ,has amo:t'mted for the last two, years to about. 14 per, cent. of the ,total, proving that· agriculture as well as pa.sture lS ~atteJlded ,to .};w the large landholders; aJthough the proport~on cultivated bYlthem,is.Q.O~ quit.e so hight.as i.t w.~s three years ago, when 16 p.er 'cent. of the tillage reslvted from. their enterprise. , .

the case, each successive class showing a reduced percentage as compared with the one immediately preceding it. Thus, holders of lots of from L to 5 acres cultivate 76 per cent., or upwards of three··fourths of their holdings; those of lots between 5 and 15 acres cultivate 67 per cent., or about two-thirds; and those of lots between 15 and. 30' acres cultivate about 54 per cent., or more than one-half, and so on, the proportion diminishing at every step as the holdings increase in size, until, on holdings of 500 acres and upwards, it is found that upon the average only 2t per cent., or no more than one-fortieth of each holding, is cultivated.
27. The land in cultivation continues. to extend from year to year, Land cultlvate,l III rtr0l"'" • • tlOn to the po])ulatl<:m,

28. Thus, in the year under review, 100 acres were cultivated to Proportion of land culti·
every 129 persons in the Colony, or about four-fifths of an acre to each i;~t!,~~:;:;~.individunl individual. It is probable that, in another year, the cultivation will amount to an acre per head.
NATURE OF THE CROPS. NATURE OF THE CMPS,
29. The principal crops cultivated in the year 1861, as in former Principalcrop~. years, were wheat, oats, barley, potatoes, hay, and green forage. The area Wheat.
under the first and most important of these, amounted in that year to 161,252 acres, or upwards of 38 per cent. of the ar~aunder all crops. In the pre-vious year (1860) the land under wheat amounted to 107,093 acres, so that an increase under this particular crop of 54,159 acres took place during the Increaso of land under-
year. This increase is nearly double that of the previous year (1859), which wheut. .
only showed 28,858 acres above the quantity 'under wheat in the year 1858. 30. Not only, however, is the area under wheat increasing every year, ProlJortiou of wheat 10
but, since 1858, it has, in each successive year, borne a larger proportion to totaicultlvation.
the total cultivation. It has been already stated that it now occupies 38 per cent . .of the entire area under tillage. In 1860 it occupied Jess than 30 per cent. of the same, and in 1859, only 26 per cent. In the year 1857 it equalled as much as 44'5 per cent. of the total cultivation; but the actual area under wheat has more than doubled since then, 'the extent of land devoted to that crop in that year having been only 80,155 acres, against 161,252 acres in 1861. .. .
31. The area under oats showed a slight diminution during the year, Oats.
to the extent of 3,830 acres. The quantity s~wn, however, covered upwards of 86,000 acres, and was equal to 21 per cent. of the total cultivation.
32. The land cropped with barley was 21t acres in excess of that Barley.
under the same crop in the previous year. This cereal, as a grain crop, appears to be but little iu' favor with the Victorian farmers, the whole extent under it amounting only to 4,123 acres, or oue percent. of the total cultivation . . , 33. An e~tent of land l~ss ,by 2,780 aCl~e? than in the year previous l'otatoe ••
was placed under potatoes 'durmg the year endmg 31st March, 1861. A decrease in the area under this crop had' also taken place in the previous year, to the extent of 2,404 acres. The land under potatoes in 1861 amounted to 24,841 acres, or about 6 per cent. of the land under all crops i ~ut in 1860 it. was nearly 8 per Icel1t., and 18'59; as'Jilllch as' 10' percent. of the total cultivation: .' ." ." , "

Hay. 34. A falling. off also took place in the land under hay, to the extent of 7,650 acres. In the previous. year .the increase under the same crop was 10,626 acres. Notwithstanding the diminution referred to, the hay crop during the year covered 91,000 acres, or . nearly 22 per cent. of the acreage in cultivation. In 1860 it amounted to 27'5 per cent., and in 1859 to 29 per cent. It may be well to remark that, the greater part of the hay grown in Victoria is of cereal grasses, principally oats:' only on 875 acres; out of the 90,920 acres under the crop in 1861, was the hay of any other description,. such as of rye grass, lucerne, &c.
Groonforage. 35. The land under green forage dming the year amounted to 17,661 acres~ or 4'2 per cent. ofthe total cultivation. Ofthis, 11,640 acres were under. permanent artificial grasses, 3,210 acres under cereals, principally barley, 1,091 acres under rye-grass and lucerne, 958 acres lUlder maize, 625 acres under clover and vetches, and 137 acres under sorghum. The increase under the head of green forage during the year amounted to 7,310 acres, an extent nearly equivalent to the diminution which took place in the land under hay.
Minorcrops,&c. 36. The aggregate of the land under minor crops,. vineyards, gardens, orchards, and land in fallow during the year, amounted to 34,245 acres, or 8 per cent. of the total cultivation, against 20,823 acres, or rather less than () per cent. of the cultivation of the previous yea,r.

The area placed under cereal crops, green crops, and- hay, by holders of allotments, classified as to size, is found in theJast three columns of Tahle VIII., p. 8, and the proportion tlu1t each of those areas bears to the total land cultivated by each class is found in the three last columns of the succeeding table Crable IX., p. 9). The extent of' lan(r placed by each of the classes of landholders under wheat, oats, other cereals, green crops, hay, and green forage, gardens, &c., is minutely set forth for each county and' pastoral district in Tables XIV. to XX.', pp. 11 to 14, and the extent placed under the same crops in each county and district by .landholders of the different classes, occupying their allotments uuder various kinds of tenure, is given in Table XXV., pp. 17 to 38. This general reference will be ~ufficient for the intelligent reader, and will save further more minute comment on my part. A report like this is not intended to be . much more than suggestive.

(541,012) living in Victoria during the year, would give 6-395 bushels to each individual-a proportion which the experience of former years has proved to be nearly sufficient for the requirements of the Colony. In 1860* the whole quantity of grown and imported wheat, flour, and bread available for consumption amounted to 7'16 bushels to the" individual; in 1859t it amounted to 6'80 bushels, and in 1858 to 6'85 bushels. It thus appears that a very slight addition to the quantity raised would render the people of the Colony independent of imports, so far as breadstuffs are concerned. , 41.

the population as the divisor, the produce per individual would be 6-69 bushels. The quantity of grown and imported breadstuffs to eachjndividual, exclusive of Chinese, was 7'66! bushels in 1,860, 7'40 bushels in 1859, and 7'38 bushels in 1858; by which figures it would appear that it will be necessary to grow about another bushel of wheat per. head to meet the annual consumption of the Colony.

In the year] 857 the average was 23,2 bushels to the acre, and in 1856, 26-9 bushels, or 1'7 and 5'4 bushels per acre in excess of the year under review; but the quantity grown in those years was compara-tively small, and the prohahility is, that it was cultivated only on the very best land; for which reason any near approximation to a fair average of the Colony's productiveness as regards wheat could not then be formed. Wheat has since become a more general crop, and, from the large acreage devoted to it in all parts of the Colony, it is doubtless often sown now on indifferent as well as upon good land. It is satisfactory to find that under these circum-stances so good an average as twenty-one and a half l)ushels to the acre for the entire Colony still obtains. .
43. It has been already stated that the land under oats was less than Oats.
in the previous year by nearly 4,000 acres. Notwithstanding this, however, the gross produce of this crop exceeded that of 1860.by upwards of 80,000 hushels. This augmentation is accounted for by the average productiveness Average to tbe aere of oat
of the oat crop for the entire Colony having increased from 28'3 to 30'5 crop.
hushels per acre, the latter heing the highest rate for the last five years, with the exception of 1858, when it averaged half a bushel more, or 31 bushels to the acre.

produced, was less than the wheat crop by 826,222 bushels. In the years 1859 and 1860, the quantity of oats exceeded that of wheat, in the former year by 595,565 bushels, and in the latter by 257,480 hushels.
45. Although a slight increase in the acreage under barley took place Barley.
during the year, there was a diminution in the gross produce to the extent of upwards of 14,500 bushels. The average per acre also fell off from 24 to Average to tile acre of
20'3 bushels. The fact, however, of barley being a favorite crop for green b""leycrop.
fodder, always renders the returns of its produce more or less unreliable. A portion of the acreage under it is generally taken for that use, and the farmers, when making the statements necessary for the filling up of their schedules by the collectors, are apt to make either too large, or more commonly too small, an allowance for the portion so appropriated. The whole quantity raised is not large, amounting to less than 84,000 bushels, 'tlld therefore the mistake is not of great momept; and the high average )btained in some of the counties (31;3 bushels to the acre in Follett, 28'8

addition to 1,896,939 vines which were growing upon 811 acres, according to the returns of 1860, 941,175 cuttings were planted during the year 'upon 327 acres, making a total of 2,838,114 vines upon 1, l38 acres ofland.
, 54 .. "With regard to the produce of the vine crop, it must be borne in mind that, in consequence of its arriving 'at maturity later in the season than the other descriptions of produce, it is always necessarily taken for the previous year; and consequently the quantities severally of grapes sold, and of wine and brandy manufactured, as given in the present returns, are for the year ending 31st March, 1860, whilst the acreage under vines, and the number of vines, are given for the year ending 31st March, 186l.

disposed of in the previous year, the number of gallons of wine manufactured fell off to the extent 1,838 gallons. As it is calculated that sixteen and a half pounds of grapes, on the average, are sufficient for a gallon of wine, the quantity of the fruit sold for table use over and above that appropriated to the same purpose in the previous year, woul.:]., if converted into wine, have made 2,380 gallons, in which case the quantity of wine made in the Colony would have exceeded by 542 gallons that made in the previous year. This is not, however,commensurate with the increase in the number of vines coming into bearing, but the discrepancy is not surprising, since there is necessarily complication and uncertainty in returns which give the extent of cultivation for the current year, and the produce for the year before, The brandy made during the year amounted to 220 gallons, or an increase of 70 Brandy.

LAND TENURE.
59. An endeavor to obtain returns of the description of tenure under which the several occupiers hold their land, was made for the first time in the year ending 31st March, 1860; but this attempt was not so successful as it might have been, as, in a considerable number of, cases, the tenure was unspecified in the statistics for that 'year. It is satisfactory to observe,
. however, that an attempt to attain the same object in the year under review was entirely successful, not a single schedule having been returned with the tenure of the occupier unstated. The result is given in the following table, the classification adopted being the same as in the returns for 1860, viz., "freehold," "leasehold," and "connected Vicith squatting runs :"-

Of the purchased land connected with squatting rUDs. only HO tS7S acres, or no more than a twelfth partl is held under lease, all the rest being freehold.
l{esult, cOlllpnre(L 60. On comparing the results in this table with those for the previous year, it is found that the relative proportions of the different classes of occupiers have undergone but little variation, but the proportion of the land held by freeholders'to the entire quantity in occupation has diminished by 5 per cent. ;' that held by leaseholders has increased by 1 per cent., and that occupied by squatters bas augmented from 44 to 48 pel' cent. The latter is now nearly equal to the quantity held by both the other classes, the exact figures being-l,690,347 -1 acres in the occupation of squatters, and 1,826,686 acres ill that of freeholders and leaseholders.
61. Of the laud in cultivation about 66t per cent. in both years was freehold; 29 per cent. in 1861, against 28 per cent. in 1860, was leasehold; itt,ld about 4t per cent. in 1861, against 5t per cent. in 1860, was connected with runs.
b,nd . 62. In Table XXiII., page 16, further details will be found of the cultivatiql1 of the pril~cipal crops. by the first two classes of holders, or those not in connectitm with squatting runs. In this table the holdings of the descriptions mentioned are classified according to size, and the gross number of acres as well as the quantity of acres in every thousand placed under each crop are set forth in separate columns.
63. The next table (XXIV., page 16), shows the same details (classi. fication as to size excepted) for the holders of land under the several descrip· tions of tenure.
, . 64. In the foItowing table (XX:V.,· pages 17 to 38) the number of holders, th~ extent of land occupied and cultivated, and the area placed under each of the principal crops, by freeholders; leaseholders, and stationbolders, in allotments classified as to size, are given in detail for: each county and pastoral district and for the entire Colony. The compilation of this table (XXV.) involved considerable labor, and will, it is h~ped, be found not only
xvii .
interesting but permanently useful, presenting, as it does, a minute index of the exact state of cultivation as practised in the Colony by landholders, of whatever size their allotments, and under whatsoever tenure they occupy the soil.
LIVE STOCK.
65. The quantity of Live Stock" in the Colony in 1860 and 1861 'are compared in the following table, by which it will be found that a decrease has taken place in the number of she~p, to the extent of upwards of 13,000; but this is more th~n compensated by the large increase in cattle, the numbers of which, in spite of the ravages of pleuro-pneumonia, have been augmented by 38,798; the number of horses has also increased by 7,248, and pigs by 10,294.

description kept on land both connected and unconnected with statiops, so as to distinguish the' stock belonging to the squatters from that of the farmers. It thus appears that out of nearly six millions of sheep in the Colony, only 156,491, or less than 3 per cent., are depastured on farms or land not connected ~th squatting runs; but that of the cattle appearing in the returns nearly a third are kept apart from runs, whilst of the horses only about a third, and of the pigs no more than a twelfth, are the property of squatters.
67. In submitting this Report, I feel it my duty to state, that the leisure at my command has been insufficient to permit nie to give the various tables anything like the careful analysis their importance merits. Enough, however, I hope, has been adduced to show the extraordinary progress which continues to be made in the development of the agricultural resources of Victoria.
