Some farmers in the third year sow Sholum between the drills of
cotton. The crop is very poor.
The manner of cultivating these crops is as follows: the field, Cultivation,
while in grass, is manured by folding on it as many cattle as can
be procured. Then between the 26th of May and the 27th of July
it is ploughed five times. During this season there are slight
showers of rain; but in a few clays afterwards the heavy rains ge-
nerally commence. When this happens, sow the Cambu broad-cast,
and cover it with the plough. On the second or third day furrows
are drawn through the field, at the distance from each other of six
cubits. Into these a man, who follows the plough, drops the seeds
of Tovary, Muchu-cotay, Mutu-cotay, and of Tata-Pyra (see the
annexed Table), while another plough comes behind, and covers
them with a second furrow. These accompanying seeds are never
intermixed ; one being sown in one part of the field, and another
in another part: but in every field a proportion of each is sown.
The Tata-Pyra is sometimes mixed with the Cambu seed, and sown
broad-cast. At the end of one month, the young Cambu is about 4*
or 5 inches high, and the field is then ploughed. In five months it
ripens, and two months afterwards the accompanying grains come
to maturity. The ears of the Cambu, when ripe, are cut off, and
