Indian official guest describes farming in India at district meeting
At the Clare County Soil Conservation District meeting August 11 an official from the Indian Department of Agriculture, Mr. Singh, spoke to the group about India's farming. He noted small farms, limited mechanization, and crops like rice sorghum and wheat. He said India aims to build industry to produce machinery and extension work, plans that may take generations. Mr. Singh, educated in India, has studied at Purdue and will return after visiting extension and soil conservation efforts in the United States. He has seen Mahatma Gandhi and called him a Christ-like figure for India.

2 4-D weed killer effects on soil and crops
Specialists report that 2,4-D soil acidity and moisture greatly affect its weed control value while toxicity decays faster in waterlogged soil than in air dry soil. High sodium 2,4‑D levels fail to kill weed seeds in muck, and corn shows greater resistance than peas or radishes under all conditions.
