Is India`s Population growing disproportionately to its food supply? Will famine once again hit millions of people? Most Agriculture experts agree that a Malthusian crisis is not likely to occur in the near term. The reason, the overall food situation in India has been characterized by a Large increase in regional output since the famine-ravaged 1960s. At that time, the food situation was described as "desperate" in India. Famine had plagued India`s Bihar state in the sixties.

Instead, average Crop yields per acre soared, thanks to the introduction of high-yielding varieties of Rice and Wheat and to expanded Irrigation and chemical fertilizer use. It has been called the "green revolution". Double Role of Irrigation The keys to the Higher food production have been irrigation, the Adoption of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of foodgrains and the increased use of modern inputs such as fertilizers. Irrigation has played a Double role, it has not only helped raise yields through synergistic interaction with HYVs and fertilizers, but has also contributed to considerable increases in harvested area by enabling higher cropping intensity.

In Smith's accurately portrayed South (Fair and Tender Ladies ; Cakewalk), class consciousness, tradition and a strong sense of place (anybody not born in the South is a "foreigner") are of vital importance. Her characters, in blue-collar or the lowest of white-collar jobs, live mundane lives illuminated by flashes of yearning. With few exceptions, the women in these nine short stories have seen one or more marriages collapse; in two of the tales, the protagonists are still stunned by their husbands' departures. These are women trained to be gallant and to carry on; to take care of elderly parents and be polite at all costs. On the other hand, they are inflexible in their desire to preserve the status quo, and are surprised when life runs away from them. Only one character dares to make a break from orderly existence; this is the male protagonist of the touching "Intensive Care"--who leaves his wife and children and marries a waitress. Smith's stories gain significance from her insights and the graceful, effortless prose that places her characters firmly in their regional--yet universal--milieu., Ballantine Books,<
