I shall now enter into a fuller detail. The only cultivation of
any consequence that is used here is the transplanted, or Nati; yet
the natives allow, that if they used the Mola, or sprouted-seed cul-
tivation, the quantity of seed required would be much smaller, and
the produce somewhat greater. In their defence, for not adopting
a manner of cultivation so superior to that now in use, the farmers
allege, that it requires more labour, and that there is at present a
deficiency of stock.
By far the greatest quantity of rice cultivated here is the Hainu,
crop of Anaputti; on which accordingly Chica Deva Raya formed
his Shist, or valuation. I measured what was said to be a Candaca
land, as rated in the accompts of the district, and found it to con-
tain 31Vcro acres; on which my calculations in the foregoing table
are founded.
The following is the manner of cultivating the Hainu Nati, or Hainu crop
crop of transplanted rice growing in the rainy season. The ground, pianted
on which the seedlings are to be raised, gets seven or eight plough- seecillllSs«
Ings between the middle of Vaisakha and the tenth of Jyaishtha,
which are the second and third months after the vernal equinox.
In the intervals between the ploughings, the field is inundated:
