Rotation of Crops 



properly. The fourth crop will be just as 

 good as the first. The present system of 

 tenant right greatly hampers the farmer who 

 wishes to resort to new methods of crop- 

 ping. The Land Holdings Act of 1908 

 was designed to give the farmer freedom of 

 cropping ; but it has not freed him from the 

 requirement of the valuer that the farm 

 when surrendered must be found to have 

 been cultivated under the four-course 

 system. 



H. Treatment and Handling of Milk. 



The oreneral treatment and handling^ of 

 milk is unsatisfactory, and far too large a 

 proportion of the supply is utilized in making 

 bad butter, which it does not pay to make. 



I. Market Gardening. 



Although in many parts of the country 

 market gardening is very well done, there 

 are few districts where the yield per acre 

 equals that of the market gardens round 

 Paris and in Flanders for example, and 

 these are for the most part on poor light 

 soils. There is therefore room for much 

 development here in this type of cultivation.
