Excerpt from The Bases of Agricultural Practice: And Economics in the United Provinces, IndiaMY friend, Mr. Martin Leake, has asked me to write a foreword to this volume, and I do so with much pleasure.The work is based on the lectures delivered by the author when Principal of the Cawnpore Agricultural College, and is a valuable contribution to the study of Indian Agricultural Economics. There is an extraordinary tendency in India to get into water-tight compartments, and in nothing is such a policy more disastrous than in the teaching of agriculture. Agriculture taught as so many physical, chemical or botanical facts is but dry bones. To vitalise and energise the teaching of agriculture one must show how agriculture fits in with the ordinary economic system, and it is only as we can show its bearing on life as it is that we can expect teaching to be effective.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
