Issues popularity written literature for the enlight-
enment OF the agricultural classes. also are ex-
erlne their influence to persuade the cultivators
all over British India to make use OF modern i'm
plements. Many OF the native states, too are fol-
lowing the example of the British administration
and are carrying on similar propaganda for the
enlightenment OF the agriculturists This is espe-
cially true OF Baroda and Mysore. two Of the
largest territories under native rule II is quite
natural therefore that the demand for farm ma
chinery should be growing
Since most Indian farmers exceedingly poor
and cannot offhand afford expensive implements,
they have taken to clubbing together. sometimes
many ten of them combining their resources
to buy reaper: and in many instances they are
not satisfied with this machine alone. but indulge
in improved machinery of other descriptions. In
the central provinces agricultural associations
have been formed to interest the tenantry In the
use of upto-date methods This means India's
salvaton for the implements now In use on the
land are of the crudest character imaginable. The
plow is nothing more than a crooked stick with a
blunt piece of Iron fastened TO the point. The
handle stands up at right angles and by this the
primitive shnre is laborously guided as 1t Is
dragged through the hard-baked earth by the pa
tent bullocks. The cultvating is done with
short.handed hoe, which be used only when
the worker Is squatting his heels, and he wad-
dies along at his task without rising. The corn
is cut by a hand sickle and threshed out by the
old.fashioned method OF driving over and
over It. The wnnowng is done by pouring the
grain out OF small baskets held high above the
head by man, either standing the ground

In view Of all this, the adoption OF modern imple
ments is a move in the right direction
