Rice and Climate in the Noeth-Cbn- 
tral Province. — A gentleman interested 
in agricultural progress in the more 
backward divisions of Ceylon, writes 
from Anuradhapura : — " Why is it so 
little so-called 'table rice' appears to be 
grown in Ceylon? Up here only the 'quick' 
rice is grown, which is of course due to the 
precariousness of the water supply ; even 
where village tanks exist, as they are usually 
only too small, 'heeneti' is mostly patron- 
ised There does not seem to be much 
' public ' information to be had about rice. 
I can understand it, though, as only a few 
whites are directly connected with the plant. 
I must say so, for I am charmed with the 
climate as a whole, up in this dist»ict."
