Firstly, it is supposed, not that any established 

 tenant on a larger holding is to be evicted, but 

 that only those farms which fall in will be under

 a proceeding, the farmer's very general enmity 

 against the smaller men can only be ventilated by 

 assuring the landlord that the field he proposes 

 taking (even if it be the poorest) is of the greatest
