search through journal, Most of the techniques necessary for the betterment of agriculture in developing countries are already available, but the necessary skills in their use are frequently lacking. The author describes a series of training courses which have been organized by Shell with the assistance of the Overseas Unit of Wolverhampton Polytechnic. The object had been to train extension workers in government service so that they can, in turn, most effectively pass on their skills to small farmers. Crop protection has been a central, but by no means the only, component of the courses.
