The grain called Barugu is of two kinds ; Barugu and Calu - C ^TER 
Barugu. The former is sown in both watered-land, and dry-field ; f 
the latter is sown only in dry-field. The former is sown on any kind July 25, 
of soil, but injures the following crop of Ragy or of Shamay. It is sown Ba ‘ ugu ° 
either on land where something else has been sown, and owing to 
a want of rain, or other accident, has failed ; or on land that is fit 
for nothing else. In this case, plough three times in the month 
immediately following the vernal equinox. After the next rain, 
harrow with the rake drawn by oxen, sow broad-cast, and harrow 
again. When the field has been previously sown with something 
that has failed, plough twice in Bhadrcipada, the month preceding 
the autumnal equinox, and then sow in the same manner. In be- 
tween 2f and 3 months it ripens. The seed on a IVocula- land 
is 24 Seers . The produce is 5 Colagas , or twenty fold. 
An acre sows 2, 221368 pecks, and produces 1 J, 106842 bushels. 
The Calu Barugu is cultivated on rich Ragy land, which it does Calu Barugu. 
not materially injure. The process is the same as for the other kind, 
but it requires 5 months to ripen ; and in a good year, when there 
is much lain, produces 1 Candaca , or eighty fold. It is a very cheap 
food for the poor, and the straw is better than that of Shamay. 
An acre sows 2,22 19 pecks, and produces 44,42736 bushels. 
Navuny is of three kinds; Bily, which is cultivated on watered- Navony, or 
land; Rempa , which is cultivated in Palm gardens: and Mohu Pmicum Ita °

which is cultivated in dry-field. When it is sown along with cotton, 
I have already mentioned how it is managed ; but it is also culti- 
vated separately. It grows on both Ragy and Jola ground, and 
does not injure the succeeding crop of either. In the course of 
twenty or thirty days, any time in Jyaishtha, Ashddha, or Srdvana, 
the 3d, 4th, and 5th months after the vernal equinox, plough four 
times. If dung can be obtained, it ought to be put on after the 
fiist ploughing. With the next rain, harrow with the rake drawn by 
oxen, sow bioad-cast, and harrow again. The straw is reckoned 
next in quality to that of Ragy ; but the grain, in the opinion of
