The Landowner 



experts, of the right sort, to supervise the farms, 

 the results would be satisfactory. 



When I was unexpectedly deprived of the 

 services of the expert referred to, I was fortunate 

 in letting the three farms ; for I did not feel able 

 myself to give the necessary time to working 

 them, or to devote the capital required by so 

 large an area. I am sorry that the many ex- 

 periments which were of great interest to me 

 personally, and which might have proved of 

 public use, were in consequence dropped just as 

 they were beginning to furnish valuable data, 

 although I hope some day to take up the work 

 again on a 300 or 400 acre farm, which is a 

 better and more manageable size to experiment 

 upon. 



To make clear the various ways in which I 

 think landowners can help the forward move- 

 ment in agriculture I will now summarise the 

 different points I have referred to in this 

 chapter. 



(i) Combination comes first in order of im- 

 portance : the landowners of Great Britain 

 must combine if they wish to fight successfully 

 for the interests of the agricultural industry. 



(2) Landowners must put themselves at the 

 head of the movement for land reform. 



(3) To provide the means for carrying on 

 the agricultural movement a special parlia- 

 mentary fund should be created.
