Abstract


Rama Rao, chronicled his personal experiences of visits paid to rice milling factories for a series of years. In the earlier days he used to find about the mills hillocks of paddy husk which later gave place to smaller hillocks of ashes-the husk being used as fuel. Of recent years even these ash heaps were disappearing owing to a growing demand for this stuff as manure. He would very much welcome a small mill to be driven by cattle power as it would be within the means of even the ordinary ryot to purchase. The discussion was becoming quite interesting but the President was reluctantly constrained to stop it as the hour was late and one more paper was on the Agenda
