the field by drawing a plank over it. It requires neither weeding CHAPTER
nor manure. For fodder its straw is inferior to that of Ragy, but
superior to that of rice. The seed for a fVocula-land is 7\ Seers. July 25» &c°
Agara Jola ripens in 4§ months, and in a good crop produces 12
Colagas ; Kempa Jola ripens in 4 months, and produces 10 Cola-
gas ; the Hessaru ripens in the same time, and produces 8 Colagas.
Peck. , Bushels.
An acre sows - %@Q4kl& Agora J. produces- - - £6,
Kempa J. - - - £2, £13684
Hessaru J. - - 17,770909
The pulse called Udu here is the same with that at Seringapatam. Udu.
It grows best on a black soil, which it does not injure for the suc-
ceeding crop of Jola. Plough twice in Ashadha or Srdvana, the 4th
and 5th months after the vernal equinox. After the next rain sow
broad-cast, and plough in the seed. In 3^ months it ripens with-
out farther trouble. The straw is only useful as fodder for camels.
A Colaga-land sows twelve Seers, and in a good crop produces
£4 fold.
An acre sows 1,11068 peck and produces 6,66133 bushels.
The pulse called Hessaru is cultivated exactly in the same man- Hessaru,
ner as Udu* Cattle can eat the straw. The husks, or dry pods, of
Hessaru, Udu, and Avaray, are reckoned a fodder superior to even
Ragy straw. In three months the Hessaru ripens. A IVocula-land
in a good crop produces 4 Colagas.
An acre sows 1,11068 peck, and produces 8,8854 bushels*
In the Tarkari, or kitchen gardens, here, the principal articles Kitchen
are maize, transplanted Ragy, wheat, turmeric, capsicum, onions, Sardens»
garlic, and hemp, which is only used to intoxicate. Large gardens
are watered with the Capily, and small ones with the single Yatam.
The water in the wells is about 21 feet below the surface. A garden
of a Colaga-l&nd requires four men and four women to work it.
The men, however, occasionally perform other work, and the women
spin.
