In the case of cotton the deeply cultivated part apparently 

 absorbed more moisture than was required for a young cotton 

 crop when grown according to local custom and hence most of 

 the plants died on account of too much moisture and this part 

 had to be resown, while the crop on the shallow cultivated 

 area survived. Hence the difference in yield. 



In the case of Jowar the results are better in the deep 

 cultivated plot than those in the shallow cultivated plot, as Jowar 

 plants can withstand more moisture than cotton plants. 



Possibly by sowing the cotton at a longer interval after rain 

 a good stand might be obtained ; in this way only can a real test 

 be made. 



14. A set of plots under cotton and Jowar was set aside to 

 ascertain the most suitable distance at which they should be sown. 



The results were as under : 



The plots were under a green manurial series last year but 

 owing to unfavourable conditions the land was practically fallow 

 except plot 23 A which produced a middling crop of Udid which 

 however was not ploughed in. Spacing has had little effect on 

 Jowdr, but the quality of Kadbi in the wide spaced plots is poor, 

 being thick stemmed,' In the case of cotton the wider the spacing 

 the greater the yield under the conditions of the experiment. 



15. Groundnut under irrigation treated differently gave 

 the following resiilts :
