220 AGRICULTURE IN THE TROPICS [PT. IV 



Another good way of getting at the rather better-to-do 

 class is through agricultural societies, which may be entirely 

 voluntary or attached to some Government department, prefer- 

 ably the agricultural or the administrative. These societies 

 may issue leaflets, manage small experimental gardens, hold 

 meetings for discussion of agricultural topics, organise local 

 finance, markets, etc., press for improvement of local transport 

 facilities, and so on. Such agricultural societies are doing good 

 work in Jamaica, Ceylon, South India and other places.
