If one of them suggested sowing a bigger acreage with barley, the other was certain to demand a bigger acreage of oats, and if one of them said that such and such a field was just right for cabbages, the other would declare that it was useless for anything except roots. Each had his own following, and there were some violent debates. At the Meetings, Snowball often won over the majority by his brilliant speeches, but Napoleon was better at canvassing support for himself in between times.
