| dc.description.abstract | In trying to make specific recommendations, I have emphasized suggestions for consideration that I believe will lead to improvement. Many others have been made orally to staff workers. But I want to add at once that I have met several competent soil scientists and soil conservationists in India. I have seen some beginnings of soil survey work, of good research stations, and, most important, of good soil conservation work on cultivators' fields and in forest reserves. Considering the short time, I feel that I have learned a great deal that will be useful to me elsewhere. India has a tremendous agricultural problem and tremendous agricultural potentialities These potentialities can- be realized by the combined development of industry to serve agriculture and of agriculture to serve industry. But every citizen of India should understand that the problems can be solved and the great .potentialities realized only by a great deal of very hard work by many kinds of highly skilled technicians working together and with the cultivators as responsible fellow citizens. A start has been made. It is only a start but it is encouraging. Although others, have helped and can help, mainly India must find within herself the spirit, the genious, and the industry to get on with the job of developing the potential abundance in her soils; water, plants, and people. These four elements of agriculture are inseparable. I shall be eternally grateful indeed for the great courtesy and consideration shown me by officials of all classes in India. Staff of the TCM have been most helpful. And I appreciate very much the thoughtful planning of the officials and staff of the Rockefeller Foundation who have made my study in India possible. | en_US |
