As kunda grass is killed out by shade Dharwdr- American 

 cotton was grown between the lines of oranges for one year with 

 the hope that this would keep the grass down. This year jute 

 has been thickly grown with the same object after the land had 

 been ploughed and hand weeded, and it is too early yet to state 

 whether any benefit accrued. In the course of years the oranges, 

 limes, etc., will probably kill this noxious weed with their own 

 shade. Kunda grass and lamia (Gyperus rolundus) are the most 

 intractable weeds in good black soil in the Deccan. No remedy 

 except deep digging and hand picking proves effectual, and being 

 drought-resisting even a long period of dry weather does no harm 

 to them.

25. Potatoes. Marseilles and Italian potatoes were tried on 

 small plots in November and the yields calculated came to 2 tons 

 and ton per acre respectively. As the areas experimented with 

 were very small we do not consider these figures reliable and pur- 

 pose repeating the trials on a larger scale next season.

 tested with results :
