Excerpt from Grassland: A Paper Read on June 14, 1921, Before the Plough Club, School of Rural Economy University of Oxford

Mr. President and Gentlemen,

It was with considerable diffidence that I accepted the invitation to address your Club to-night; for I fear it is very like carrying an inferior class of coals to Newcastle to talk grassland to an audience so intimately associated with Professor Somerville. The name of your Club has, however, inspired me with courage, and it is perhaps not inappropriate to read a paper before the Plough Club dealing with grass, not from the point of view of permanent grass, but rather to consider in a little detail the possibilities of grass as a crop, as a rotation crop demanding no less than wheat or roots the continued activity of the plough.

I take it that from a national point of view we are all agreed that it is desirable to maintain as large an area of these islands as possible under rotation husbandry. Whether this can be made an economic possibility must in the last resort depend upon the character of the rotation; that is to say, it is, at all events, not the part of a progressive man or of a scientific man to assume that rotation farming is unprofitable, even under apparently the most unfavourable conditions, because of examples he may see before him, but rather is it his part to endeavour to investigate the matter and to formulate a system of arable or quasi-arable farming that will be profit-bearing despite the cost of labour and despite adverse conditions of soil and climate.

If we consider the high rainfall areas - the West of England and Wales - and areas of heavy soil - in short, milk and cattle-rearing Britain, we find that grass takes a prominent place in the scheme of agriculture.
