COTTON-WOOL. 



Appendix. As from the great scarcity of dessy kupas in the eastern 

 provinces it appeared desirable that the growth of it 

 should be attempted in these hills, which from the descrip- 

 tion of them seemed extremely well adapted for a trial of 

 the cultivation, I prevailed on Jugul-saw to promise to 

 persuade the Rajah to allot two hundred begahs for an 

 experiment, the Rajah receiving the profit, if they pro- 

 duced any, and being indemnified by me for any loss he 

 might sustain if they failed. The land to be taken from 

 two different places in the hills, at a distance from each 

 other of near two days' journey, and the seed to be sown 

 to be of different species. 



In general the cotton-seed is sown with ouse grain and 

 paddy.
