knowledge obtained at Rothamsted, at 

 Woburn, and other stations of the kind, 

 should be brought directly to the door 

 of the small man. 



" Experimental plots are necessary, no

 agricultural colleges, and agricultural 

 institutes, but to the small man they are 

 almost valueless: 



" I should like to see county councils 

 taking an allotment or small holding in 

 every district under their own direction 

 and control by arrangement with the 

 tenant, and applying to the cultivation 

 cf that holding the most approved 

 methods of scientific cultivation ; seeing 

 is believing, and if the small men of a 

 district saw an allotment in their midst 

 yielding better monetary results when 

 treated and cultivated in the light of 

 scientific knowledge, the value to them 

 would be almost incalculable, and would 

 be the means, not only of putting money 

 into their pockets, but of raising the 

 standard of intelligence throughout the 

 country side and of adding to the 

 interest and charm of the cultivation 

 of land — than which no more interesting 

 occupation is possible."
