Statement: The block's tube wells are repaired only after sowing has begun, and standing crops are lost every year for want of a first watering. The repair fund reaches the block office in the second week of June; sowing begins in the third week of June; and a tube well takes about three weeks to repair once the fund is in hand. Which of the following courses of action follows from the statement?

The statement lays out three dates and shows that the trouble lies in their order: money arrives a week before sowing and the work takes three weeks. Moving the money two months earlier makes the wells ready when the crop needs them, and nothing else in the account has to change. Putting off sowing bends the season to suit the office and risks the crop for a different reason. The neighbouring block's wells will be under repair on the same calendar. Doubling the wells doubles what is repaired too late.
