The results obtained at those farms will then be tried out on 

 trial plots belonging to landlords or selected cultivators under theiV 

 own conditions (Scheme 9.2). 



If the results are found to be satisfactory, field demonstrations 

 will be given on a large scale on the fields of cultivations (Scheme 9.3). 



15. Vegetables. The existing production of vegetables needs 

 to be increased 2 times to moot the nutritive needs of the popu- 

 lation. Steps will therefore be taken to increase the acreage under 

 vegetables and to supply seed for vegetables at subsidised rates in 

 the beginning (Scheme 10.1). 



Arrangements will be made for the production of potato seed 

 and its maintenance in cold stores to prevent deterioration (Scheme 

 10.2) and where this is not feasible for the transport of the type of 

 potato seed needed for each block from the area producing the same 

 (Scheme 10.3). 



. 



16. Fruits. In order to improve fruit culture, it is necessary 

 to select bud wood of the right type ; existing orchards will be sur- 

 veyed! to'-ascertain the kinds and varieties of trees growing success- 

 fuU^'m each orchard and to locate trees of outstanding merit (Scheme 



ir.ij. 



These selected trees will be utilised for propagating nursery 

 plants and Government nurseries will be set up for producing and 

 distributing plants of good varieties (Scheme 11.2). 



Experimental orchards will be set up to ascertain the best va- 

 rieties to be used and the best methods of cultivation to be adopted 

 for each block (Scheme 11.3). 



Along with them commercial orchards will be established to serve 

 as demonstrations or models ; they will in course of time supply good 

 quality bud wood (Scheme 11.4). 



Fruit growers will be helped to set up new orchards in 



acres and to renovate acres of existing orchards by top work- 

 ing or otherwise (Scheme 11.5). 



The training of mails will be taken up on practical lines so as 

 to make malis available for fruit growers who wish their orchards 

 to be properly looked after (Scheme 11.6). 



A Fruit Development Board or Fruit Growers Association will 

 be set up which will encourage the adoption of better methods of hor- 

 ticulture and hold fruit shows for the purpose (Scheme 11.7).
