They are mostly farmers. In some of the islands suitable land is not available for many new farms and the old farmland is yielding smaller crops because the soil, which is becoming less fertile, is being washed away. This picture shows West Indians, advised by a British expert, learning how to save the soil, and how to grow more food and more kinds of food. GP/491/21 Printed for H.M.
