Indian Civil Servants should farm for profit. They must not be distracted 

 from their official duties or have interests that might clash with those 

 duties, or be even open to suspicion of irregularities in dealings \rith 

 tenants or labourers or traders in produce. But these objections vpould 

 hardly apply to district officers permitted to hold small areas of 50 or 100 

 acres on lease for purposes of recreation and experiment. If this per- 

 mission vrere given to the comparatively few who would care to have it, 

 a good deal of practical experience of much value might be accumulated.
