The Tropical Agriculturist. The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon May 1937

1937

Fay attributes the paradox of an abundance of cattle and a scarcity of all forms of cattle produce of good quality in India to social and religious custom which forbids to the Hindu the consumption of meat the killing of old and sickly animals and the regulation of breeding through the castration of bulls. [...] It is on this aspect of the problem that the Agricultural Department is now concentrating on this and on the efforts to recover by the introduction of new blood the ground lost by the progressive degeneracy of the breed. [...] The spralance was fitted with an angle-bend to facilitate the spraying of the lower surface of the leaves and the single nozzle was of the type which delivers a fine mist of spray. [...] Recording of Results.---On the day before the second or main harvest a count was made of the total number of leaves and of the number of clean " leaves on each plant of the plots. [...] The cured leaf from the experimental plots was bulked with the rest of the tobacco and observations will be made later to determine if possible if the spray has any effect on the burning qualities of the leaf.
