Chitty of Gwr' £//w, worth TTT of a Pagoda. The produce in a middling
crop is 12 Colagas of Navonay, worth 12 Pagodas, together with 15
Tacadks of cotton, worth $£ Pagodas ; orlf Colaga of Jo la, worth if
Pagoda; or 1 Colaga of Sujjay, worth 1-| Pagoda; or 1 Colaga of
Gwr' .E//m, worth If Pagoda. It must be evident from this, that the
people who gave me the account diminished the real produce of
the Jo la, which would never be the common object of cultivation,
while Navonay was so much more profitable.
Sujjay is here the next most common crop, and is always accom- Sujjay, or
panied by Huruli, or Alasunda,. or Tovary, or Hessaru. This is the ca*v^i spi"
crop commonly taken from the red soil, or that of the second qua-
lity. In the month preceding the summer solstice, the field is
ploughed once, then manured, and then hoed with the Heg Cuntay,
At the end of the month the seeds are sown with the drill, and
covered with the Bolu Cuntay. On the 20th and 28th days, the field
is weeded with the Edday Cuntay. In three months the crop is ripe.
The Mar requires for seed ± Gydna of Sujjay, worth —■ Pagoda ; to-
gether with 2 Gydnas of Huruli, worth ■— Pagoda; or 1 Gydna of
Alasunda, worth ■—■ Pagoda ; or 3 Gydnas of Tovary, worth -f Pagoda;
or If Gydna of Hessaru, worth ~ of a. Pagoda* The average pro-
duce is 12 Colagas of Sujjay, worth 13-f- Pagodas ; together with t|
Colaga of Huruli, worth if Pagoda ; or If Colaga of Alasunda, worth
I-f- of a Pagoda; or 2 Colagas of Tovary, worth 3± Pagodas; or 1 Co-
laga of Hessaru, worth 2 Pagodas. The rent is about 2-H- Pagodas.
From these data, the share which the farmer gets for his stock and
labour may readily be calculated. For instance, the gross produce
©f a Mar sown with Sujjay and Huruli is;14f Pagodas; while the rent
and seed are rather more than Q% Pagodas, or 17^ per cent, of the
gross produce, This is another proof, that the cultivators concealed
