Abstract


For many years the Department of Agriculture, Madras has been distributing purified paddy seed, but the demand has almost always exceed- ed the supply. The Department is always blamed because it cannot produce enough seed, and is again blamed when, after a year or two, crops appear mixed. It would be better for those who complain to look further into their own side of the question of pure seed than blindly to throw the blame on to those whose labours are primarily involved in the provision of good seed stocks; and a little more attention to the care of the crop would make it possible for more cultivators to raise their own seed stocks and thus solve the difficult question of supply and demand.
