 pegs and their outlay, not forgetting to have a few 

 hundred over for breakages, &c. Lining usually 

 comes to a little over Rs. 2 per acre, but every-

 reckoning 1,500 holes to the acre, fifty holes per 

 coolie per day, say 3,750 coolies at 6 annas, will 

 make the expense per acre close upon Rs. 16. 

 "Filling in" if one man does 125 holes per day 

 (and he cannot do more properly), then this will 

 give an expenditure of Rs. 6 per acre. 



The figures are rough, but approximate.
