SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS 163 



one), and the offering of greater inducements for settling 

 more people on the land under the scheme for the extension 

 of small holdings. 



The wisdom of the principles and practice of agricultural 

 organisation, as adopted and now being actively promoted 

 by the central propagandist societies of England and Wales, 

 of Scotland and of Ireland respectively, is no less beyond 

 all reasonable doubt since we have abundant evidence of 

 the fact that the movement in each country is proceeding 

 along thoroughly practical lines, has already accomplished 

 good results, and has laid solid foundations for still greater 

 efforts in the future. 



Thus the subject of Agricultural Organisation, in its many 

 different phases, may be commended to the attention of the 

 British Public as a National Question well deserving of 

 their serious and most sympathetic attention, while they 

 will see that, although Great Britain has hitherto been behind 

 certain of the other countries in taking this all-important 

 work in hand, the right lines have now been adopted, the 

 difficulties of the pioneering stage have been surmounted, 

 and a happy combination of voluntary effort and State 

 aid, each supplementing the policy and the possibilities of 

 the other, should ensure in the immediate future a greatly 

 accelerated rate of progress, to the advantage alike of 

 agriculture, of agriculturists and of the national well-being 

 as a whole.
