Indian Farming April 1950

1950

The vital role of statistics in agriculture has been particularly stressed at present in the context of the food situation in the country ; but I have myself been aware of the importance and utility of statistics in the investigation of agricultural problems for more than a decade. [...] Yet it must be added that in the field of animal husbandry as a whole the position is still far from the ideal in the matter of utilization to the fullest extent of the help which modern statistical tools are capable of offering. [...] The preponderance of articles pertaining to the latter as compared with those on the former subject in the issues of the Journal of your Society is in itself an evidence of the fact. [...] Considering the vastness and the economic condition of the country it is not possible to utilize the advantages of the first one for the enormous cost involved but as an alternative the following suggestions may be utilized against the bad effects of the higher temperature : (r) The grazing habits may be changed allowing the animals to graze in the morning till 9 to to a.m. [...] On reading Soils and Manures by E. J. Russel I thought that the real cause of the dissolving of kanker in my farms was not merely water but the presence of carbon dioxide in the soil which was increasing through cultivation of paddy and the development of vegetation in the farms.
