We have reete oni studied the merits and demerits of local and other

Our continued trial of different wheats have PAPE that soft white

to warrant a distribution of soft white seed among cultivators in the 
Tápti valley. If soft white seed finds a better market than hard, it is

to the long-stapled co 
We have saved ui zem much by testing various exotics, often

: In the difficult question of Vas diseases and insect attack we have 
proved the value of several specifies, in particular the sulphate of copper

given towards the growth of road-side trees in the midst of cultivation 
as a means of enlarging the aren of tree-growth, and shown the direction 
in which such encouragement is safe. 
We have learnt much regarding the effect of manures on black soil. 
The deduction drawn is a confirmation of a widespread belief as to the
