Abstract

It is not exactly the time of the year to or rather feel Anakapalle at its best, as though there is a good breeze most of the time, the sun is very hot. There are many changes notice- able in the Farm, which is now in a subcircle, under the control of M. R. Ry., D. Balakrishna Murti, the acting Assistant Director. He was manager in charge when a previous visit was paid, and it is to his energy that much of the lay out of the farm and its present improvement is due. The most striking thing about the land, is the enormous possibility of irrigation that there is, and the very slight and feeble way in which this possibility is being exploited. It is enough make Coimbatorean tear his hair see a well which costs complete, only 500, and supplies more sweet water than can be lifted by a 9 H. P engine and 3 inch pump. The installation of this engine has led to the filling up of some five or six other small wells, from which water was lifted by the picottah, the mhote being practically un- known in these parts, and the value of the land thus brought into cultivation will, it is calculated more than repay the cost of the installation. There is little doubt that there are many situations in this Vizagapatam District where such wells could be sunk with equal or greater success.
