ABSTRACT

In Bombay, propaganda is carried out as a combined effort of the Co-operative and Agricultural Departments. A programme of work is drawn out for each unit of area under the control of one agent of either department,—and the work contained in that programme whether for co-operative development, or for technical agricultural improvement, is looked after by one man in that area. The arrangements for disposing of any agricultural produce are, in fact, very highly organised, and with those which are common market commodities a man need usually not leave his holding in order to sell, and many products, like fruit, are often taken possession of before reaping and reaped by the purchaser. With the proper missionary, who has the resources and information of the agricultural, co-operative, sanitary and other Departments at his back,—the future is more than possible.
