The Agricultural Journal of India

1923

In the course of an investigation I have recently undertaken details of which I hope to publish shortly I have had reason to attempt the measure of the extent of the dependence of the agricuture of the province on the monsoon and I have used the correlation coefficient as just described as an indication of that measure. [...] By this is meant that the available water is supplied to the commanded area with the important result that owing to the prescriptive rights established thereby in times of short supply restriction occurs in the direction of fewer runnings throughout the commanded area and not in the direction of a reduction of the area to which a full supply is given. [...] This fortunately for the province is unlimited throughout the major portion of the alluvial area lying between the Hills and the Jumna-Ganges line and the question of agricultural development being as it is in the first instance a question of an assured water supply is therefore primarily one of the development of wells. [...] A corollary of the former the necessity for pukka channels seems to indicate the desirability of reducing within limits the size of the plant and of increasing the number. [...] Co-operation must in that case extend not only to the erection of the plant and the distribution of the water but to the handling of the crop.
