Abstract:
As the Society is aware, during the recent troubles the
system of complete enumeration of agricultural statistics broke
down in this country, and since then it has been necessary to
rely on estimates derived from a sample of returns received
through the post from a very large number of farmers distributed
all over the country. It is proposed to change this system
this year to a sample of districts, but before doing so it was
necessary to investigate the error which the method involved,
and this paper is the outcome of that investigation.
