Robert Henry Elliot, (1837 – 1914), was an early British coffee planter in Mysore, India, and author of books upon plantation life in Mysore, and on farming in Scotland. According to Elliot's own account in Gold, Sport, and Coffee Planting In Mysore, he arrived in Bombay in 1855 at 18 years of age. From there he sailed to Mangalore, then headed inland through the ghauts to the high plateau of Mysore. There he joined Frederick Green, who had begun his plantation in 1843. The first European coffee plantation to its south had just started in 1854, while the second some 70 miles (110 km) north was being established by three Scottish planters. In 1856 Elliot started his own plantation at Bartchinhulla, Saklaspur, Mysore State. (His address in Scotland was Clifton Park, Kelso, Roxburghshire.) At his farm called Clifton Park in Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland he formulated what he termed the "Clifton Park System", and several editions of his book on this subject (originally titled Agricultural Changes, with the last two editions (of 1908 and 1943) being titledThe Clifton Park System of Farming and laying down land to grass) were published between 1898 and 1943. In this book, which was written prior to the widespread availability and adoption of man-made fertilizer, he advocated building up the organic content of soil by planting a mixture of grasses and other plants, particularly deep-rooted plants such as chicory. Modern organic growers still find Elliot's work applicable today. [more]
