farm organization to meet new conditions. A clear concep- 

 tion of just what changes should be made will tend to more 

 rapidly bring about that economic balance necessary to great- 

 est prosperity. 



Mr. Atkins. I would like to inquire if Mr. Gates thinks if 

 the men on the 40-acre farms were picked up and placed on 

 the 200-acre farms their income would be largely increased? 



Mr. Gates. I do not think it would immediately; they 

 would have to learn the business gradually. 



Mr. Atkins. My point is this: isn't it usually true that a 

 man with a large farm is a man of large ability? 



Mr. Gates. Well, he is a man with more money too; but 

 there is always the way for the fellow on a small farm to rent 

 and thereby increase the size of his business. 



Evening Session. 



At the evening session Secretary Wheeler introduced Mr. 

 H. G. Worth of Nantucket as the presiding officer. Mr. 

 Worth introduced Dr. Harvey W. Wiley of Washington,
