Agriculture
Agriculture, the term 'agriculture' has been defined in various dictionaries both in the narrow sense and in the wider sense. In the narrow sense agriculture is cultivation of the field. In the wider sense it comprises all activities in relation to land including horticulture, forestry, breeding and rearing of livestock, dairying, butter and cheese-making, husbandry, etc. Whether the narrower or the wider sense of the term 'agriculture' should be adopted in a particular case depends not only upon the provisions of the various statutes in which the same occurs but also upon the facts and circumstances of each case, Maheshwari Seed Farm v.

In Webster's dictionary (Second Edition, 1937), the word 'migrate' means 'to go from one place to another; especially to move from one country, region or place of abode or sojourn to another, with a view to residence; to move.' Corpus Juris Secundum published in 1948 gives the same meaning except that it adds one more meaning namely, 'to change one's place of residence', Kulathil Mammu v.

In its narrower connotation it meant going from one place to another with the intenti...
