The grain called Barugu is of two kinds ; Barugu and C«/m- CHAPTER
Barugu. The former is sown in both watered-land, and dry-field ; ^JJ'
the latter is sown only in dry-field. The former is sown on any kind July 25, &c,
of soil, but injures the following crop of Ragy or of Shamdy. It is sown
either on land where something else has been sown, and owing to
a want of rain, or other accident, has failed ; or on land that is fit
for nothing else. In this case, plough three times in the month
immediately following the vernal equinox. After the next rain,
harrow with the rake drawn by oxen, sow broad-cast, and harrow
again. When the field has been previously sown with something
that has failed, plough twice in Bhadrapada, the month preceding
the autumnal equinox, and then sow in the same manner. In be-
tween &§• and 3 months it ripens. The seed on a fFocula-l&nd
is 24 Seers. The produce is 5 Colagas, or twenty fold.
An acre sows 2,221368 pecks, and produces 11,106842 bushels.
The Calu Barugu is cultivated on rich Ragy land, which it does CaluBarugu.
not materially injure. The process is the same as for the other kind,
but it requires 5 months to ripen ; and in a good year, when there
is much rain, produces 1 Candaca, or eighty fold. It is a very cheap
food for the poor, and the straw is better than that of Shamay.
An acre sows 2,2219 pecks, and produces 44,42736 bushels.
Navony is of three kinds; Bily, which is cultivated on watered- Navony,or
land; Kempa, which is cultivated in Palm gardens; and Mobu, f™™umIt*'
which is cultivated in dry-field. When it is sown along with cotton,
I have already mentioned how it is managed ; but it is also culti-
vated separately. It grows on both Ragy and Jola ground, and
does not injure the succeeding crop of either. In the course of
twenty or thirty days, any time in Jyaishtha, Ashadha, or Sravana,
the 3d, 4th, and 5th months after the vernal equinox, plough four
times. If dung can be obtained, it ought to be put on after the
first ploughing. With the next rain, harrow with the rake drawn by
oxen, sow broad-cast, and harrow again. The straw is reckoned
next in quality to that of Ragy; but the grain, in the opinion of
