DUBLIN, SATURDAY,
IRISH AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

An important letter on this subject has been ad-
dressed to the Lord-Lieutenant by Mr. William
Levinge, a gentleman favourably known in con-
nection with public efforts for the improvement of
Irish agriculture. Mr. Levinge first points out that
a deficiency in ordinary farm manure for about
35,000 acres of land has, from different causes
(principally from the decrease in green crops and
potatoes). arisen during the present year, and that—
" This deficiency of 35,000 acres requiring to be
Rianured has caused a present loss of over £250,000
in our agricultural produce, a loss which will pro-
bably not soon be recovered, and the more to be re-
gretted because the manuring of those 35,000 acres
would have assisted much to lay the groundwork
for the future agricultural prosperity of the country."

Mr. Levinge also observes :
" The cultivated arable lands of Ireland exceed
15,000,000 acres, and, on a careful examination, yield
of agricultural produce about £43,000,000 value
annually ; but under a better system of green crop
husbandry—such a one as would satisfy a farmer
that his farm was in a thriving condition—the same
lands should yield from £75,000,000 to £80,000,000
value annually, or nearly double what they produce
at present.
" The fact of Ireland having sustained a loss in
one year of over £1,500,000 in money value of live
stock (partly, no doubt, owing to the severity of the
past season), and of about £500,000 in cereals, pulse,
potatoes, green crops, and flax, as may be gathered
from the agricultural returns for 1860 ; the preca-
rious state of the residue of this year's scanty potato
crop ; the light, because too late sown turnip crop ;
the deficiency of nearly 9,000 acres of cabbage—
the poor man's garden crop, arising in a great mea-
sure from the destruction of the young plants by
frost—are all matters worthy of the most serious
attention ; and it cannot but be regretted that when
the agricultural produce of Ireland should be on
the increase, her agriculture should appear, from
Government returns, as displaying rather a down-
ward tendency —a fact still mule apparent when it
is observed, from the same returns, that the decrease
in restorative crops is in greater proportion to the
decrease in the cereal in 1860 than in 1859.
" The general tenement valuation of Ireland
being under £12,000, it appears from the above
figures that the country has sustained a loss of
agricultural produce, in one year alone, exceeding
one-sixth of that valuation. This may appear a
somewhat startling statement, but it would be of
use if it should lead the agriculturists of Ireland to
adopt a more improved system of husbandry, and
to make better provision for the future."

In conclusion, the writer says :
" The agriculture of Ireland cannot be improved
without a due expenditure of labour and capital.
M. De Lavergne estimated that £300,000,000
would have to be expended in order to place Ire-
land on an equality with England as to farms and
cultivation. This would appear rather an extreme
view. It is certain that it would require
£200,000,000 to render the farms suitable for con-
ducting a proper system of husbandry, to complete
the main arterial drainage of the country and to
reclaim the waste lands,—a sum which may well
cause amazement when it is recollected, that
although the Laud ;Improvement Act has been in
operation for 14 years, and is still justly popular
and successful, upwards of £300,000 still remain
unexpended of the £2,000,000 originally granted
for loans. But even £100,000,000 judicially ex-
pended on the light arable lands, providing for
small as well as large farms, so as to retain a proper
supply of labour in the country, would soon enable
Ireland to yield at least £75,000,000 value annually
of agricultural produce, thus returning a very large
interest for the capital employed."
The letter to a great extent upholds the views
expressed by his Excellency on the subject of green
cropping on more than one occasion during the
Viceroyalty.
