THINGS WE WANT TO KNOW

By ‘0.18 wiD knows ,

1. It is gratifying to see that the
Municipal authorities have taken interest
in changing the looks, of the ChOwras'ta,
but canno^ someth nc be done to prevent
little and sometimes big boys from jum-
ping on the benches which have just been
painted ? If these little things are not
looked into then all efforts- of the ^Muni-
cipality will go in . vain.

It is hoped that the public will also
extend their co-operation in -stamping
su3h indiscipli'ned practices.

2. Time and again questions have
been asked under this caption, but no
answer have come forward. Are there
any reasons for this ? or are the ques-
tions uncontradictable ? It is hoped that
questions under this caption will be an-
swered bv those concerned.

Replying to the welcome address Dr.
Ahmed said tfiat the local farmersinnist
follow the scientific process for increasing
their yield and should not proceed with
the old method of farming. He advised
the -farmers and the people present to
learn something from the things exhibi-
ted in this exhibition otherwise there is
no' use of holding this exhibition here.
He said that if we want a good crop
we must apply a good fertiliser and he
requested the farmers to go and see the
crop grown on scientific method in the
Govt. Demonstration Farm at Kalimpong
where every kind of experiment is per-
formed by the Govt. ‘You should grow
more food to retain the ancient glory
of India’, he said. He concluded his
speech by thanking all the men k women
