Tillage operations are being carried out on the undivided lands in the hands of the Land Commission, who are endeavouring to have cultivated not merely 25 per cent. of the arable land, but an area exceeding, as far as possible, the statutory requirements. All other arable land, coming within the scope of the Tillage Order, which is in the hands of the Government, is likewise being tilled to the extent of at least 25 per cent. of such land.
