Abstract

The Royal agricultural commision With pleasure we note the announcement of the constitution of the Royal Commision to investigate agricultural problems in India.It is oppertune that the advent of the Agricultural commision should synchronisewith the celebration, in July 1926,of the Golden Jubilee of the introduction of Agricultural Education in India.by the Madras Agricultural Student'Union.as this occassion will be uutilized to review the progress during the past 50years.It is a happy sign of the times that during the past two or three years.every section of opinion should profess to speak for the masses. for the man in te street, for the toiling peasant. Should this turn in the wheel inaugrate a new era in the development of the natural resources and propper adjustment of socety,all efforts the country has put forth will not be in vain.In certain quarters a sharp distinction is made between the agriculture and the agriculturist and the critic.would look upon the commision with certain misgivings,as in his opinion, its labours may be directed towards suggesting ways and means of increasing production without any thought for the well being of the ryot. this in our opinion ,certainly overlooks an important correlation betwee the worker and his work . You cannot improve the work without advancing the status of the worker. and he would bea simpleton indeed who will inthese days of lock-outs and strikes.tryy to stem the ragging tide of democracy and be drowned in the attempt.After all, the Royal Commission,is out to make recommendations and these can only be based on the materials placed before them Should the country decide on improvement nothing can resist her will.
