Abstract

When there is so much subdivision of holdings and diminished size of farms, it is a refreshing contrast to find a family of ryots not sub- dividing the holding among themselves, but continuing to farm the entire area jointly, and sharing the produce equitably. Our interest is heightened when we know that the number of brothers who are thus co-operating are as many as nine and not only this, they have also taken more area on lease. The total number of members of the family thus fed from this joint farm exceeds 60. It will be of interest to the readers of the journal and students of agriculture to know some details about this family of co-operating farmers.
