Outturn. 



Threshing. Is threshed out as usual. 



Winnowing. Is winnowed as usual. 



The outturn of bdjra varies very much. It is grown on the very poor- 

 est land, and little cared for or watched. The under- 

 growth (moth, mting, &c.) is often more valuable than 

 the main crop, and the grass amongst the mting, &c., is valuable for fodder. 

 Eight maunds is a very good average outturn for an acre, all circumstances being 

 favourable. 



The grain is made into flour for food, the cobs burnt, and the stalks used 

 for fodder, but not so pi^ed as those of jwar, as they 

 contain less leaf-food and more silica.

Uses. 



Bdjra is very susceptible to the east wind ; if it blows in Kwdr the 

 flowers die off and fall ; the grainless heads are called 

 Kandwa. 



The area recorded under this crop in the measure- 

 ment papers is 37,961 acres.
