Abstract

Industrial Crops:It is a truism that a person afficiated with a malady can think of nothing else and in this morbid state of mind falls a prey to the advise of any one who professes to know a sppedy and sure cure rather than listen to his family physician.Unfortunately ,India is in such a state to-day in regard to the food crisis and lends her ears too easily to the innumerable suggestions,plans and programmes which promise to usher an era of plenty and prosperity without reference to their practicability or adyisability Among the proposals which in our opinion is fraught with grave danger to the future balanced economy of the nation is the proposal emanating from certain quarters that the area under the so-called industrial crops should be restricted,by legislative enactments,=.industrial crops hould be restricted,by legislative enactments.We are afraid that in the panic caused by the dislocation of our food supply.we are apt to lose our sense of values and allow enthusiasts for special causes to hold the field.We submit that the cultivator himself and also the crop of persons employed by the state to offer advice on agricultural matters,namely the organised agricultural departments in the various /provinces,have a right to be heard on the matter.
