from Agricultural Review of the Year 1922
So far as Livestock are concerned in 1922, horses were reduced in numbers but cattle have increased. Pigs have not maintained the progress made in 1921 while sheep are fewer than a year ago, again quoting the official returns, the number of horses on agricultural holdings has been reduced by 44,300 to 1,340,300. A further decline in breeding is to be noted, the number of foals being only 83,800 or 8,500 less than last year and 18,300 less than in 1914.

In the Northern counties swedes are all got in this month. Wheat receives its last weeding.
