Hurriaul. — When the plants have got to the height of about 

 eighteen inches the ground must be well weeded. 



Hurripaul. — It does not require weeding, the Hemp (Sunn) 

 being set so close, and growing so thick, that nothing else can easily 

 come up. 



Malda. — The ground should be well cleaned of weeds, when 

 the plant is about nine inches high, and again when about one and 

 a half or two feet high. 



Rungpore. — In about fifteen or twenty days after the plants 

 rise, the ground should be carefully weeded. When the plants 

 have risen to about a haut (half a yard) high, if they have come 

 up too thick, they are transplanted to more open parts of the field ; 

 when they have got three-quarters of a yard high, the ground 

 should be again carefully weeded.
