Indian Farming April 1947

1947

The cost of the scheme is in the last analysis the cost of the staff the scale of which I think does not exceed what is proposed in the post-war development plans of many provinces and States and I entertain the hope that they will be able to persuade the cultivators by example an' precept to adopt the improvements recomended by them without payment of subsidies. [...] Further because of the light nature of the soil and the general deficiency of humus need for incorprating adequate quantities of organic matter into the soil is urgent and the practice of green manuring an indispensable one in the cultivation schedule. [...] Finally the off-take of the crop has to be so arranged as to enable the grower to recover most of his crop to minimize the danger of pest and disease carryover and to facilitate recuperative processes of the soil. [...] The side tines disturb the soil on the sides of the furrow throwing it in the furrow and covering the setts. [...] Besides there is the advantage of getting the field rid of stubble which may otherwise help the carryover of the insect pests and diseases from one season to the next and the land also gets the benefit of being broken up to some extent immediately after the harvest.
