crop produces 10 Colagas.

WuUay Suja. JVulLdy Suja is the same as what at Seringapatam is called 
Chica Cambu. There is here another kind called Hulu Suja; but 
not having seen it growing, I cannot say whether it is a different 
species, or merely a variety of the Holcus spicatus . The Wullay 
Suja is cultivated on Ragy ground, and does not injure the suc- 
ceeding crop of that grain. In the course of fifteen or twenty 
days, any time in Vaisdkha , or Jyaishtha, the 2d, and 3d months 
after the vernal equinox, plough four times. Then after a good 
rain harrow with the rake drawn by oxen, and either sow broad- cast, 
or with the drill. In the last case, rows of Amray, Tovary, or Huruli , 
are put in with the Sudiky, and the field is again harrowed. At the 
end of a month hoe with the Cunt ay , and in the course of fifteen 
days repeat this twice. A JVocula of land sows 8 Seers of Suja, and 
8 Seers of the pulses, and produces 10 Colagas of the former, and 
two of the latter.

The Jola that is cultivated on dry-field is of three kinds; Agara , 
Kempa, and Hessaru . I have had no opportunity of ascertaining 
their botanical affinity or difference. They are all, probably, mere 
varieties of the Holcus sorghum , The best soil for them is a black 
clay ; and the next, the same mixed with sand. For Ragy these 
soils are of a poor quality ; but, on the same dry-field, Jola and 
Ragy may be alternately cultivated, without injuring either. In 
Vaisdkha , or the 2d month after the vernal equinox, plough four 
times. After the next rain sow the seed. It is sown either broad- 
cast, or by dropping it in the furrow after the plough. Smooth
