Near Jessore town the yields are larger than in other places, 

 and in village Khartalar some very fine trees exist. This particular 

 village was visited first on December 26th and 27th. In consequence 

 of the high yields it was thought worth while visiting the garden 

 again in early February. 



The statement below shows the yields recorded by us in one 

 particularly good plantation in this village in December and again 

 in February. The outstanding features of this garden were -the 

 exceptional thickness of the trees, and the excellent cultivation. 

 It seems that 300 Ibs. of juice per tree per season might be 

 expected in this garden, i.e., 37 J Ibs. of gur. 



The yields in all the other places mentioned appear to be much 

 about the same. 



In conclusion, the author considers that 170 Ibs. of juice per 

 tree per season may be taken as a fair average yield throughout the 

 date sugar districts.
