In all these cases of rotations the usual country manures, viz. 

 fish manure and oil cake, etc., will be supplied to sugarcane. 

 Other plots will be manured as they require it. As these plots 

 have been replaced by a more complete and definite series, the 

 yields are not given. 



F. TREATMENT OF MURUM SOILS. 



21. Cotton. A portion of the irrigated tracts of the 

 district consists of light murum soil, and the best and the most 

 economical system of managing these soils is under investigation. 

 One of the crops suggested for these soils is cotton of the 

 Hirsutum type, and as the Dharwar- American is the only variety 

 of which seed was available it has been selected. It was sown 

 according to three different methods. The first plot was sown in 

 July according to the Dharwar method, the second plot in July 

 on ridges 3 feet apart, and the third on ridges 3 feet apart in 

 September. The following are the results of the experiment :

Per acre. 



22. Cereals and Pulses. The remaining portion of the light 

 soil area was divided into ten 10-guntha plots. Eive plots were 

 cropped with kharif pulses and rabi cereals and the other five with 

 kharif cereals and rabi pulses, to see which of the systems or which 

 crops are most paying and what manures are necessary for them. 



The statement below shows the details of the experiment.
