The figures furnished by the Board of Revenue reveal that there is a large area under cultivable wastes other than folow in this Presidency.Such areas are considerable in districts of low rainfall,where nature is partly responsible for this lands being not brought under proper cultivation.The area under cultivable waste in Bellary district is estimated to be 299000 acres and in Anantpur 633000 acres.Such large areas exist also in other districts of the Presidency.
