Expert that the Government of India may be able to send out,
may I su^^est that you will be well advised to send samples
of your soil from various places in the Island, in canisters
to the Imperial Agricultural Chemist, Imperial Institute
of Agricultural Research, New Delhi with a request to have
it chemically examined and favour you with his report.
This analysis will be oi considerable help to any exoert who
may be deputed later on to advise your Government on
developing Agriculture in your Island. Each soil sample
should be of one cubic foot and should be thoroughly mixed
together. Apart from the problem of soil amelioration ,
you will have to face the difficulty of counter-acting the
etiects of sea breezes laden with salts.
/>
It will be interesting to know what is grown there
at present. Also I would suggest your making a collection
of the flora of the Island. Have your specimens put in
between two sheets of blotting paper and put it in a wooden
press for a few d^ys until they have dried up. These then
can be sent to us if you so desire and we will get them
identified for you. This information will^dln additional
A
help to the Agricultural Expert in advising the right things
to grow. I would further suggest your getting in touch with
Dr. ?/. Burns, Agricultural Expert, Imperial Council of
Agricultural Research, bimls who X am sure will be able to
assist you a lot with his valuable advise.
Anything further that you want from me please do not
hesitate to write.
