Cultivation of groundnut during the summer season as an irrigated crop is becoming increasingly popular in the Madras State. While the scope for such increase is rather limited in garden lands, extension of cultivation in rice fallows offers vast possibilities. This new development deserves all round encourage- ment because (a) the increase in the production of oilseeds, which is in short supply now, is achieved without encroaching on the area sown to food crops; (b) the cultivator is financially benefited by this money crop; and (c) the leguminous crop not only improves soil fertility but also gives adequate green manure for the following rice crop.
