 On Pests. 



11. Last season was particularly favourable for the growth of 

 insects and other pests. The following are the more important 

 insects that appeared : 



In addition to the insect pests there were attacks of fungoid 

 diseases. 



American cottons both annual and perennial suffered much 

 from rust, while the crop of Saidi beans totally succumbed to rust, 

 though the diseased plants were removed as they appeared. 

 Some damage was done to the cotton crop by wilt. 



Irrigational. 



12. These experiments were conducted on several varieties of 

 wheat with the object of determining the quantity of irrigation 

 required to produce the heaviest crop. 



The results are given in the following statement. It will be 

 seen that the produce of wheat grain has varied in many cases 

 according to the quantity of water and that later waterings 

 produced distinct effects on produce. Moondi has yielded highest 

 for each particular amount of irrigation.
