5 CHAPTER VI.—SEASONAL FACTORIES. Seasonal Industries. We turn now to the special problems presented by seasonal factories, i.e, those places, mainly employing power machinery, open for a part of the year only, and concerned for the most part with the handling of a particular crop as it becomes available. The statistics hitherto maintained in respect of factories have not distin- guished between perennial factories and seasonal factories. We have made efforts to collect statistics but, owing partly to ambiguity in the definition of seasonal factories, it is impossible to give precise figures. The position, however, is fairly well indicated in the attached table for 1929, subject to the remarks appended. Number of factories. Number of operatives. [ndustry. India. Burms. Total. India.
