The average cost of making a maund of gurh lias been proved to be Es. 1-6, so 

 that assuming an outturn of 30 maunds, the manufacturing expenses will amount to 

 Es. 41-4. Adding this to the cost of cultivation we obtain Es. 104-1-0 as the cost of 

 producing 30 maunds of gurh. 



The average outturn of irrigated cane calculated in semi-dried compost (or gurli) 

 may be taken as 30 maunds per acre in the Meerut, Eohilkhand, Lucknow, Eai Bareli 

 and Benares Divisions, 24 maunds per acre in the Sitapur and Fyzabad Divisions, 

 and 20 maunds per acre in the Agra and Allahabad Divisions. For the small amount 

 of cane grown in Bundelkhand, an outturn of 18 maunds an acre would be a high aver- 

 age. If rah is made instead of gurh, the outturn will be about 8 per cent, more than 

 this, and if shakar be made about 3 per cent. less. 



The average area under sugar-cane in the 30 temporarily N.-W. Provinces Districts 

 is shown below by Divisions, being calculated on the returns for 1878-79, 1879-80 

 and 1880-81 :—

The area in Oudh and the 5 permanently settled N.-W. Provinces Districts is 

 returned as about 3| lakhs of acres, bringing up the total Provincial area to between 

 9 and 10 lakhs of acres.
