92 ON HEMP, 



Rungpore. — The seed is strewed lightly over the ground in 

 the month of April. Board of Trade Cons. 2Uh August, 1792. 



Jungypore. — The seed is sown when the rains set in, when 



the land is as wet as the situation will admit. 



Keerpoy. — The seed is scattered over the ground at pleasure, 

 Patna.— As the best Hemp (Sunn) is produced from stout 



and tall stems, the seed is scattered at about half a foot distant from 



each other. 



Chittagong. — The seed is thrown or laid into the ground, a? 

 fancy may direct. Board of Trade Cons. UthJan. 1793. 



The method of sowing in use among the natives appears to be 

 perfectly good, both in respect to the growth of the plant, and for 

 preparation in the European way. 



Mr. Douglas. — Bengal Cons. 5th May, 1801.
