Defects in the Economic Organization
of the village

Remedies

1.	Uncertainty  of rainfall and
inadequacy of water-sup-
ply.
 2.	Poverty of the soil.
 3.	Sub-division  and  ragmenta-
tion of land.
4.    Inefficiency of cattle.
 5.	Use of primitive implements.
 6.	Scarcity and   inefficiency  of
labour.
7.    Uneconomical marketing.
&.    Lack of agricultural education.

1.	Irrigational  facilities and
experiments in steam-
boring of wells.
2.	Manuring   and   intensive
culture.
3.	Compulsory legislation to
prevent further subdivi-
sion and fragmentation,
and permissive legisla-
tion to consolidate hold-
ings.
4.	Careful  breeding,   better
feeding and careful
housing of cattle, and
spread of the knowledge
of cattle diseases.
5.	Gradual   introduction   of
improved implements.
6.	Resumption     of    manual
work by the high class
people, introduction of
piece wages, or a system
giving a share to the
labourer in the produce
of the larm.
 7.	Co-operative marketing.
 8.	Dissemination  of agricul-
tural and rural educa-
tion.

If these defects in the economic organization, or what
may be otherwise called causes of low production in agri-
culture, are removed by the kind of measures suggested
above, the income of the village, from agriculture, which
is its principal occupation, can be greatly enhanced.
