Planting caplm de Angola on the municipal farm at 
Bahia, Brazil. This is an especially wet peice of ground; 
instead of planting In the ordinary manner the soil is 
stirred up with hoes and the grass, after being scattered/ 
over the surface, is tramped in with the feet. Ditches 
are required to drain off the surface water, which accumu- 
lates rapidly. Ten days from planting the field is in 
active growth. Photograph by P. H. Dorsett, Bahia, Brazil,
