 "B" Series.

Series A. Almost all the kharif pulses grown yielded 

 well except math, guar, and velvet beans, which gave a less 

 outturn of green fodder than last year, probably on account 

 of the late arrival of the monsoon which delayed sowings. 

 The cowpeas and math grown as green fodder were con- 

 sumed by the farm stock. 



In the case of the* rabi pulses the yield of grain 

 amounted to about one-half of last year's outturn on 

 account of the late winter rains in February which fell 

 when the crop was just in flower. The Yellow Gujarat 

 and the local gram suffered most. 



Series B. The grain yield of kharif pulses is high as 

 compared with that of last year, but the late ripening of 

 the crop prohibited the sowing of the succeeding rabi 

 pulses. 



(/) Experiments with Java and Sumatrana indigo con- 

 ducted in collaboration with the Indigo Research Chemist 

 and the Imperial Agricultural Bacteriologist, and the wilt 

 disease experiments in collaboration with the Imperial 

 Mycologist and the Fibre Expert to the Government of 

 Bengal, were continued. These experiments will last over 

 a period of years and the results will be dealt with from 

 time to time by the Indigo Research Chemist and the Im- 

 perial Mycologist in their respective reports. 



As in past years, crops were grown in the North Pan- 

 garbi field for the other Sections.
