Note 159 — Chapter XIII · AGRICULTURE ON A LARGE SCALE.
Reading edition
The total of this table exceeds the total of plough land in large estates by 1119 dessiatines, which amounts to 2 per cent. of the whole area, and could by no means influence the inferences drawn from the table. The difference concerns small tenure, on which the statements are slightly at variance with those of the large landholders.
Peasant tenure in the district is represented by the following figures:
