The general inferance one is able to draw from many speeches made and numerous articles written by various persons giving suggestions for increasing food production is that majority of our farmers, being illiterate, prefer to follow the traditional practices and are suspicious to adopt improved (otherwise termed scientific) methods advocated by the Agriculture Department. Another line of criticism usually levelled also is, that improved methods are not within the means of poor cultivators.
