Cultivable waste lands constitute one of the most important and potential additional sources of increased food production. In arid tracts like the Ceded Districts they occupy a considerable portion of the land fit for cultivation A survey to assess the physical, soil and botanical features of waste lands can give an indication of the suitability of these lands for cropping and the possible means of bringing them under cultivation. With that end in view, an experimtntal survey of Hindupur Taluk in Anantapur District, with special reference to waste land areas, was undertaken by the author in 1946 under the orders of the Director of Agriculture, Madras. The salient features of the taluk as brought out by the survey are presented in this paper.
