A Study on the Crop Improvement and Promotion of Agricultural Colleges in Northwest During Anti-Japanese War

抗战时期西北农业不得不担当起解决大量难民生活用度与支持抗战的重任。西北农业在恶劣环境下,在薄弱的基础上发展壮大。西北农业的大发展促成了诸如西北农学院等西北农类院校的蓬勃发展。西北农类院校发挥专长,积极建设试验场,培育棉、麦等农作物新品种,并积极进行推广,不仅促进了西北农民的增产增收,改善了生活,也开阔了视野,亦促进了西北农垦事业的发展,为抗战作出了重要的贡献。

During the anti-Japanese war, the burden to meet the needs and necessities of war refugees as well as supplies for the army rested on the shoulders of Northwestern agriculture. Northwestern agriculture developed gradually out of an unfavorable environment and weak foundation, yet its development greatly boosted the thriving of agricultural colleges or universities as northwestern Agriculture College. Agricultural colleges or universities in northwest fully played their specializations by establishing test bases and breeding new varieties of cotton, wheat etc, and actively promoted their skills and new breeds. All these measures effectively increased local famers＇ production and income, bettered their lives, enlarged their visions, and contributed a lot to the agricultural cultivation in northwest and the anti-Japanese war as well.
