demand that exists amongst the agricultural popula- 

 tion to rent it. 



These associations have all met with an unquali- 

 fied success, both from a financial standpoint, and 

 also as serving the ends satisfactorily for which they 

 were called into existence. Their work has been 

 amongst bona fide agriculturists in rural districts, 

 and. their aim has been to supply holdings on 

 reasonable terms to suitable local men wanting 

 land. 



Mr. Winfrey's name is already well known in 

 connection with the formation of the Lincolnshire 

 Small Holdings Association, which rents its land 

 from Lord Carrington in the fen districts of South 

 Lincolnshire. The success of this undertaking in- 

 spired the formation of the Norfolk Small Holdings 

 Association, which is run on much the same lines. 



Of a slightly different character is an establish- 

 ment of small holdings near Wing in Bucks, where, 

 through the initiative of a local resident, a com- 

 mittee was formed for the purpose of renting some 

 glebe land and subletting it to working men.
