These varieties were first sown in May. The germination was 

 not satisfactory owing to excesssive heat. The germinated plants 

 were parched up. The seed was again sown in the monsoon. 

 The germination was fair. The plants were progressing well till 

 the end of August, but owing to heavy and constant rains all the 

 plants rotted. The yield was practically nothing. A few plants 

 only seeded. 



23. Groundnut. The object was to treat the plots as a pro- 

 tection against white ants. 



Four plots, each one guntha in area, were put under ground- 

 nut as under : 



(1) To be treated with Jambho as green. 



(2) To be treated with kerosine. 



(3) To be treated with castor-cake. 



(4) To be treated with nothing. 



The results are as under : 





Green manure in addition to its manurial value seems to have 

 some effect on white ants. 



Castor-cake seems to have less effect on white ants than 

 kerosine, but appears to influence the yield greatly. 



The kerosine oil appears to have had a good effect on white 

 ants. 



24. Oh-ina mustard. Two varieties, viz., GUI Trang and Cai 

 Sen, were transplanted in December. The plant* irrew very 

 luxuriantly but the yield of grain was very poor.
