THE SCIENTIFIC APPROACH pROCEED from the immediate to the distant from the low to the high ; attain the great through the small the difficult through the simple. [...] The cultivation in the centre of the tank of a few plants of the broad-leaved varieties of lotuses (Nymphaceae) and Limnanthemum cristatum (Bengali : panchuli or pankra) is recommended as they serve the very useful purpose of keeping the water cool and affording shade to fishes which rest underneath them. [...] Practcally the only plants to be avoided are yellow watelilies and watemarigolds.' The following are regarded Plankton Vegetation Of the greatest importance in a fishery tank is the presence of a large quantity of phytplankton for it is the ultimate source of nourisment of the entire animal association found in a pond. [...] In some of the Bidyadhari spill area fisheries where diluted sewage is used for manuring it is noticed that a day or so after feeding the fishery with sewage the water of the fishery turns deep green owing to the rich growth of phytoplankton and the fish feeding on it grow to a size of 21 seers or more in the first year of their growth. [...] - Old method and the new The usual method of dealing with the old cotton stalks was to hack them with a spade which left all the underground root system intact and which in the soils of Gujarat soon produced secondary growth which was more than enough for giving the bollworm plenty of opportunity to continue the brood so as to be in readiness to attack the next crop of cotton.
