The Tropical Agriculturist - The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon October 1937

1937

In the old days of the Ceylon Agricultural Society this journal was the medium through which working planters and other agriculturists published the results of their experiments with the crops in which they were interested while the research officers attached to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Peradeniya usually took their erudition to the editors of The Annals of the Royal Botanic Gardens Peradeni [...] Finally the appointment of a notechnical administrative officer as the head of the Deparment not only deprived The Tropical Agriculturist of that source of original articles but also reduced the time available to the staff to produce scientific literature by the emphasis that he naturally laid on the economic as opposed to the scientific aspect of the Department's activities. [...] Tf however the whole of the smaller crop is eaten by the cattle then the production of the latter is very much more economical than the production of the larger crop. [...] 25.00 1 125 00 Nett cost of Manure 3 665 00 I have not taken into account the manure of the calves nor the value of the compost which is made from the liquid part of the droppings and which would add a considerable quantity of humus to the soil. [...] In each case the April maximum is the higher of the two maxima while the December minimum is the lower of the two minima.
