Cotton Crops of Bengal 1912-13. 

 The total area sown with the early crop is reported to be 49,250 acres 

 against 60,900 acres last year, the decrease being due to scarcity in Hill 

 Tippera and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. 



The area sown with late cotton up to date is reported to be 500 acres 

 only as compared with 1,800 acres last year. 



Sbsamum, 1912. 



The total area sown up to date is reported to be 21,200 acres. Sowings 

 are still reported to be going on in parts of Hooghly, Murshidabad and 

 Nadia. Last year the area under the crop was estimated at 22,500 acres.

The area sown this year with different monsoon rice is reported to be 

 6,153,500 acres against 6,294,100 acres last year, the normal area being

 autumn (aus) rice this year against 5,092.200 acres last year, the decrease 

 being reported to have been chiefly due to extension of jute cultivation.
