of the principal crops, our aim for the present will be to give 

 a typical example, draw certain definite conclusions from 

 it, and recommend the application of these deduced princi- 

 ples in each particular case, mutatis mutandis. In fact we 

 have already hinted what we are going to do, i.e., infer from 

 a typical case of a 4oo-acre farm, that about Rs. 10 per acre 

 should be allotted for buildings, Rs. 10 per acre for cattle, 

 Rs. 10 per acre for implements, by way of capital charge, and 

 Rs. 50 per acre by way of annual expenditure. If, however, 

 the farm is very much smaller, an increased proportion for 

 buildings and implements, and if the farm is very much larger, 

 a diminished proportion for buildings and implements, will 

 be needed. The principle enunciated here refers only to 

 mixed farms, and not to gardens or plantations.
