As soon as possible after a project for a block of land has been 

 prepared, steps will be taken to put it into effect by carrying out the 

 necessary works and measures. This will entail a great deal of pro- 

 paganda and some legislation, till people are convinced of the wis- 

 dom of the measures suggested. Some portions of the projects 

 will be carried out by the cultivators themselves, with the help of 

 the normal departmental staff ; other portions will require special 

 staff. 



9. Manures. In order further to increase production, steps 

 will be taken to popularise the better preservation and greater use 

 of manures and fertilisers specially in irrigated tracts. 



Farm and milage refuse. Farmers will be encouraged and helped 

 to preserve farmyard manure and village refuse in compost pits ; 

 it is hoped to increase the present production of manure in villages 

 by about 6 million tons during the next five years (Scheme 4.1). 



As an experimental measure, compost "factories " will be star- 

 ted in selected villages. The refuse will be made over to special 

 staff who will arrange for proper composting and will hand over 

 a proportionate quantity of ripe manuie to each individual concerned 

 in due course. This will it is hoped serve to stimulate increased com- 

 post manufacture and show to farmers the best methods to be 

 adopted. It is proposed to establish 1000 such " factories" in the 

 Province (Scheme 4.2). 



The preparation of compost from town refuse will be taken up 

 at all the towns in the province with a population of 5,000 or more 

 and it is hoped to produce 400,000 tons of manure from this source. 

 Adequate steps will be taken to ensure rapid distribution of this 

 manure by subsidising its transport and use (Scheme 4.3). 



The Sewage and Sludge, available at the bigger municipal cen- 

 tres, will be utilised for increasing agricultural production, under 

 safeguards so as to ensure hygienic conditions. Fodder crops, 

 sugarcane and fruit trees will be generally grown under sewage 

 (Scheme 4.4). 



Slaughter house wastes , which are now being buried, will 

 be converted into useful manure such as dried blood and offal-cake 

 and subsidies will be offered to popularise their use among culti- 

 vators (Scheme 4.5). 



Arrangements will be made for the collection of bones (estimated 

 at tons) and their utilisation as manure in the form of bone- 

 meal or bofte-char (Scheme 4.6).
