Description
Excerpt from Agriculture in the Tropics: An Elementary Treatise
The tropics cover so enormous an area that it is obvious that I can only write of much of it from reading, though the general principles set forth will apply to all countries. My own experience is mainly confined to Asia, in Ceylon, India, Java, and the Federated Malay States. On the agriculture of the last named I have written a comprehensive report, which often forms the basis of the present work, and I am much indebted to the Government of that dependency for allowing the use of it. I have also visited the American tropics, but have not been in tropical Africa, though the heads (to be) of many African departments of agriculture have come to Ceylon for part of their training.
