Abstract
THIS volume is published by the direction of the Madras Government, and consists of a Report by the Superintendent of the more important results obtained at the experimental farm since its commencement in 1865. An agricultural college has been recently added to the farm establishment, but this educational work lies beyond the scope of the present volume. Of the value of the work done on this experimental farm there can be no question; the Government money spent on it has been well laid out. If the miserable and profitless native systems of agriculture are to be improved, and the land made capable of supporting the rapidly increasing population, it must be by the adoption of the methods here recommended.
