Indian Farming September 1945

1945

Though numerous commercial poultry farms have been opened in India since the outbreak of the war with the object of increasing the supplies of eggs and poultry the total production from these units is a very small fraction of the total in the country. [...] Expose the soil to the sun in the months of April and May and in early June mix the soil with old farm-yard manure or compost in the ratio of 5 to 1. Mix them up thoroughly and fill the pit again with the mixture upto the ground level. [...] The root-collar should be just under ground-level and care should be taken to secure the same position for the sapling in the pit as the one it had in the nursery. [...] A list of some of the trials conducted in 1942 and 1943 is given in Table IV which shows clearly the increase in the yield of improved varieties over that of the locals. [...] The entire work on the farm from the felling of the virgin jungle to the harvesting and storing of the crops will be performed by machinery.
