COTTON-WOOL. 



Appendix. this way is of the cotton imported from foreign countries 

 for the consumption of the province, and of which very 

 small quantities are only casually manufactured into 

 thread. 



Quantities. 



It is supposed about 100,000 begahs of land are annually 

 sown with cotton, which upon an average calculation may 

 produce 130,000 maunds of kupas. 



The above calculation is formed as follows : 



19,000 begahs sown with rarreah^ the produce of each 

 estimated at the medium rate of three maunds of 



80 sicca-weight, is 57jOOO 



1000 nurmah, ditto ditto 3^000 



80,000 munnoah at 35 seers per begah 70,000 



100,000 130,000 



The above estimate is formed upon the best and most 

 accurate information that could be obtained from every 

 part of the country, of the general medium produce of 

 the land in a good season. Rarreah and nurmah are 

 always cultivated singly ; hence the reason their produce 

 so much exceeds that of the munnoah, with which is sown 

 various other kinds of seeds, as achur, kuddow, janonrah, 

 and sawaun. 



Maunds of Maunds of 

 kupas. ruee. 



Rarreah kupas gives one fourth of ruee, 



hence 57,000, gives 14,250 



Nurmah ditto 3000 750 



Munnoah one-eighth 70,000 8,750 



Total ruee 23,750
