  "The 
  origin 
  of 
  these 
  varieties 
  is 
  not 
  known. 
  The 
  crop 
  is 
  used 
  both 
  as 
  human 
  

   and 
  animal 
  food. 
  There 
  are 
  no 
  special 
  methods 
  of 
  cultivation 
  of 
  this 
  crop, 
  and 
  

   the 
  usual 
  methods 
  obtaining 
  in 
  the 
  hills 
  for 
  the 
  cultivation 
  of 
  winter 
  cereals 
  is 
  

   followed. 
  Briefly, 
  these 
  consist 
  in 
  thoroughly 
  preparing 
  the 
  soil 
  in 
  the 
  monsoon 
  

   by 
  repeated 
  ploughings 
  and 
  harro 
  wings. 
  A

  cattle 
  manure 
  or 
  

   house

  if 
  available, 
  is 
  given 
  in 
  August 
  and 
  the 
  seed 
  is 
  sown 
  broadcast 
  

   in 
  October. 
  Very 
  little 
  care 
  is 
  required 
  after 
  sowing, 
  except 
  irrigation 
  if 
  possible, 
  

   and 
  the 
  crop 
  matures 
  in 
  five 
  and 
  one-half 
  to 
  six 
  months. 
  The
