SMALL HOLDINGS 241 



The prospects of success upon a Small 

 Holding depend chiefly upon the occupier; 

 although suitable soil is essential, and although 

 good seed, liberality in manuring, and climate 

 all play a prominent part in the process of 

 production, it is brains that tell in the end. 

 Thus without knowledge and the power to 

 apply it we cannot honestly say that a small 

 holder has much prospect of success. There 

 is no class of produce, animal or vegetable, 

 for which there is not an excellent market; 

 and while there are times when, owing to 

 adverse conditions, such as bad weather, 

 the results of labour are disappointing, yet, 

 taking one year with another, the man who 

 knows his business and who has consequently 

 taken precautions to acquire land which is 

 suitable to his purpose, should have no cause 

 to complain.
