Abstract:
It is the practice in France to have, in addition to annual returns,
a general agricultural enquiry or census every ten years. The last
began in 1882, but its results were only published this year. This
delay, due to official economy, detracts from the interest of the figures
relating to produce and prices; but the information relating to the
more slowly changing facts of rural economy, the distribution of
property, the number, size, and method of occupation of farms, the
price of land, wages, etc., is of more enduring interest. The more
perfect administrative organisation for collecting information, the
now almost completed cadastre, and the experience gained in former
enquiries, have made this more complete and exhaustive than any
previous one.
