Agriculture remains the most essential area for development: here it is felt that the most intractable problems of resistance to change exist. One may believe that scientific training in agriculture by itself is unlikely to have any marked impact on agricultural output. Any attempt at vocational training in agriculture presupposes mat a meaningful structure of incentive can be seen for the individual farmer to increase his production, improve his techniques, and expand his range of activities. Without such incentives and chances, agricultural education can have only little impact.

Tigers usually grow to lengths of more than nine feet and can be bigger than the largest lion. They have great strength. They clutch their prey to them, holding on with their claws, and depend on the crushing bite of their powerful jaws. They swim very well and can often be seen splashing about in water on very hot days, as they apparently suffer from the heat. When the air is cool, however, they avoid wet or damp vegetation. They can climb, but do not approach the leopard's ability in this. They can survive in rocky areas but generally prefer to stay on level ground. They are not as well equipped with senses as one might expect. They apparently depend on their hearing while hunting. Their eyesight is not particularly good, and they cannot spot prey until it moves.
