This estimate was formed by taking a farmer to his own field, 
asking him how much seed it required, and measuring it. The 
measures were then changed into English ; and the other farmers 
were interrogated concerning the quantity that each kind of rice 
should produce on an equal extent of the different kinds of soil. 
The produce of the same kind of rice, in the same soil, whether 
cultivated as Hainu or Caru, or as Mola or Nati, should be nearly 
the same. 
All the kinds of rice may be raised either as Hainu or Caru crops, 
or by the Mola or Nati modes of cultivation. No Pimeji is ever 
attempted. The Mola cultivation is exactly the same as at Mundium . 
The seedlings for transplantation, in the Nati cultivation, are always, 
raised as Niragy, 
Sugar-cane. The cultivation of sugar-cane being somewhat different from 
that used at Seringapatam , I shall enter into the particulars. The
