80 HAPPY INDIA 



On one acre unmamired land the value of the grain 

 was 23 rupees 9 annas, and the straw i rupee i anna 

 9 pies. On the manured land the excess value of 

 the grain was 52 rupees 6 annas, 9 pies, and straw 

 3 rupees 4 annas. On the watered land the excess 

 value of the grain was 24 rupees 9 annas 6 pies, and 

 the straw I rupee 7 annas 3 pies. 



On page 263 Mr. Kenny quotes an experiment 

 with paddy by Mr. G. S. Newman, of Ranipettai. 

 There, with a suitable manure (ground-nut 3 cwt., 

 bone-meal i cwt., potash in the form of kainit i cwt.), 

 he produced 6,168 Ib. weight of grain, and 3,610 Ib. 

 weight of straw per acre. On page 265 he gives 

 the result of his study on wet land of very poor 

 quality, and in this case without manure the yield 

 of grain was 408 Ib., and straw 9 bundles. With 

 manure, consisting of ij cwt. ground-nut, J cwt. 

 bone, and 75 Ib. kainit, the grain produced was 

 1,337 !*> and the straw 22 bundles. 



Turning to the cotton crop, Mr. Kenny, on pages 

 333 and 334, gives the results of " experiments made 

 on the peasants' own fields at Barsi in the Deccan." 

 He takes the lint crop as being about one-third the 

 weight of the seed and lint crop combined, and the 

 results are as follows : 



Ib.i 



1. Unmanured 50 



2. Manured with 4 tons cattle-dung 80 



3. Manured with nitrate of soda i cwt. and superphosphate 



i cwt. and kainit i cwt. . . . . . . . . . . 15 



4. Manured with ground-nut cake 2 cwt. and 2 cwt. each 



super and kainit 200 



From the context it appears that these are weights of lint 

 (cotton) per acre.
