It will be seen that the yield in the unirrigated plot is nearly 

 the same as in the twice irrigated plot, a result quite contrary to 

 that of last year when under a rainfall of only 20" the 

 twice irrigated plot yielded 3| times as much as the unirrigated 

 one. The watering appears to have been most effective when the 

 bolls are forming. 



The plots were very even in germination and the difference 

 in yield is only due to irrigation water applied. 



33. The results with lucerne are shown below : 



It will be seen from the above that though the seed inocu- 

 lated last year failed to give the highest results that year, still it 

 has given the highest results this year. 



It will also be seen that plots receiving irrigation every 15 

 days have yielded much better than the plot receiving irrigation 

 water every 30 days, and that the lucerne sown on ridges does far 

 better than that sown in beds. It is also less liable to disease 

 than that sown in beds. Established lucerne appears to give 

 much better results in the 2nd year than in the year of sowing. 



34. The following statement shows the outturn of Guinea- 

 grass and fodder Jowar (both irrigated). Guinea-grass has been 

 grown from 1898-99 and fodder Jowar has been added for compa- 

 rison onhi, since 1905-0(5.
