be a good ride-able road, some 5 or 6 feet wide, and will cost 

 Rs. 1 20 to Rs. 150 per mile. 



(D) Pitting; this provides for pits at 6 feet x 5 feet apart, 

 (1452 to the acre), of one foot and a half cube ; the cost being 

 at the rate of 20 per 4 annas. 



(E) Filling in, costing 4 annas per 120. 



(F) Plants y although nurseries are made at the outset, 

 they will not furnish plants till the second year ; consequently 

 the first season's requirements must be bought from native 

 cultivators or elsewhere ; prices varying from 5 to 10 rupees 

 per looo. 



(G) Cleaning up. In bamboo clearings where the second 

 growth is very rapid and luxuriant, this " cleaning up " is a 

 laborious and expensive business, a great deal of grass having 

 to be dug out, and green jungle to be cut down. 6 rupees per 

 acre may hardly cover it. On forest-land, after a clean burn, 

 3 rupees may more than cover the cost of all weedings 

 between the ist of July and the 3oth September. 



(H) Superintendence. For a young European in sole 

 charge, 100 rupees a month is the usual salary to begin with, 

 while there will be a further sum allowed to pay for a " water- 

 man."
