The Tropical Agriculturist The Agricultural Journal of Ceylon December 1929

1929

The difficulties confronting paddy cultivation are partially known and insufficiently realised and it was with the object of gaining a full and authentic account of the difficulties and of bringing them to the notice of a wider public that the Food Products Committee of the Board of Agriculture appointed sucommittees in the different parts of Ceylon to inquire into them. [...] The respective responsibility of the Economic Botanist and of field officers for the testing and distribution of pedigree seed has not yet been so clearly defined in Malaya as it has been in Ceylon but in principle the organization of seed distribution is essentially the same in the two countries. [...] The effect of the fibre-packing is to allow a small amount of resiliency to the whole mill thus reducing the tendency of the hardened clay to crack under the vibration of rotation. [...] The work of improving the cultivation of rice by seed seletion cultivation and manuring is carried out by the General Agrcultural Experiment Station which is one of the divisions of the Department of Agriculture Industry and Commerce. [...] "Local committees have been instituted composed of the chief of the administration of the residency (district) as chairman the regent (a native chief ) the irrigation engineer the agricultural expert and one or more assistant residents to decide on the desirability of irrigation and drainage works and also to advise in connection with the distribution of the water." * THE ROTATION OF SUGAR WI
