...goal is a 33% increase in food production in five years-enough to enable India to feed itself. Western experts think it can be done, but the problem narrows down to the special and often exasperating problems of "the man behind the plow," the Indian khaki farmer...

Armed with masses of Biblical quotes, he expounded the theory that Moses had only 600-not 2,000,000 mouths to feed. Recalling a similar argument advanced by Manchester University's retired Professor Harold H.

As a man who travels "full-speed in the wilder regions of my own, some say crazy, head," Graves ranges airily from poetry to poltergeists, from mushrooms...
