Soonamooky. — If it will thrive on poor lands of the rent of 

 from one Sicca-Rupee to one and one-eighth per begah, the 

 cultivation will be profitable ; but if the rich lands are required, it 

 will only be a secondary object, as it must be grown on lands now 

 in use for Cotton and Sugar-cane, and can only be extended at the 

 expence of those articles, which, being profitable, are not likely to 

 be abandoned for a precarious cultivation. Cotton and Sugar-cane 

 are cultivated alternately ; the Resident thinks a crop of Sunn may 

 be obtained between the Cotton and Cane, as is sometimes now 

 done with Indigo. Board of Trade Cons, nth July, 1801.
