Abstract
THIS little survey, extending to 25 pages only, is quite useful as an example of the kind of inquiry that could well be made in many more of our country parishes. We are told nothing of the location of the particular parish, not even its county, and the work loses much of its value in consequence. But the survey gives a picture of a village, presumably in Wales, where the houses are let at annual rentals of 255. upwards, and where the inhabitants apparently produce most of what they need for themselves, since the sales from the farms work out to about £50 per annum only per person employed. It is interesting and should prove instructive to any rural or urban dweller interested in the human side of agriculture.
