1.In the coastal tracts of Tekkali taluk.Vizagapattam district.where the villagers are able to get fuel from various topes,and where the soils are in need of manuring.ryots do not at all waste cattle dung by using it as fuel.but add every bit of it to their fields after careful conservation.Soils are frequently spread over the floor of the cattle sheds for catching cattle urine:and the urinary earth.dung and litter are carefully conserved in pits with great care.It is refreshing to note in this tract where Depatmental propoganda was not undertaken tillrecently the practices in the conservation of cattle manure have been developped to a high degree of perfection.Possibly the availability of fuel.and the hungry nature of the soils requiring manuring are responsible for the adoption of these commendable practices that are proving uphill tasks in other areas.
