In 1960 - 1961, Chad harvested 9,800 tons of cotton seed for the first time in its history,and put out the flag a little too soon. The efforts of the authorities to get the peasants "back" to work, asthey bad slacked off a great deal the previous year during independence celebrations, largely con-tributed to it. Also, rains were well spaced, and continued through the whole month of October. If the1961 - 1962 total is back to the region of 45,000 tons, it is mostly because efforts slackened again andsowing was started too late.The average date of sowing is about July 1st. If this date is simply moved up fifteen or twenty days,30,000 to 60,000 tons of cotton are gained, depending on the year.

Those who have done so would receive extramoney whereas the last planters would not receive their last payment until later.Only the first steps are hard, because once work has started the peasants continue willingly on theirway. Educational campaigns among the peasants will play an essential role in this basie advance, earlysowing, on which all the others depend. It is not a
