422 PRESENT-DAY EXPERIMENTS 



spread on the land or ploughed in. Several stacks 

 of straw or of winter forage were divided into two 

 or three equal parts ; the mangels were all dis- 

 posed of at valuation price, 90 per cent, of the roots 

 being taken by the tenants ; the green-keeping 

 was sold by Mr. Rose to a neighbouring farmer, 

 and is being eaten off by sheep, the incoming 

 tenants agreeing to pay the value of the folding. 

 A survey was made of the land for the purpose of 

 apportioning the tenant-right ; and now the land is 

 allotted, it is possible to work out the acreage each 

 incoming tenant has of stubble, seeds, folding, and 

 fallows carrying cultivation, and in due course an 

 account of his apportioned tenant-right will be 

 rendered to each tenant.'* 



Dealing with Difficulties. 



As the men only came into possession at Michael- 

 mas, 1906, and much of the building and fencing is 

 not yet completed in a way to enable them to 

 accommodate a full head of stock, it is too soon to 

 offer any opinions on results. 



The scheme has, however, already been the means 

 of showing what difficulties are likely to occur in 

 undertakings of this kind, and how they can be 

 dealt with. It has been shown how the apportion- 

 ment of the tenant-right has been carried out satis- 

 factorily to all concerned.
