Abstract
THE publication of the first annual report of the Imperial Department of Agriculture of India is little short of an epoch-marking event. As I have said elsewhere, agricultural research has not been wholly neglected in India in the past. Much excellent work has been done by. able men working under conditions which were never encouraging. But it has been fitful and uncoordinated, and always at the mercy of uninstructed and unsympathetic officials, whose one canon of criticism has been the solvency of the annual balance-sheet.
