TRITICUM AESTIVUM. 25921. Prom Leh, Ladakh, Kashmir, India. 
Presented by Mr. RassuT Galwan. Received August 27. "Be- 
fore this seed is sown the field is put under water till 
the ground is wet a half foot deep. After ten to twenty 
days when the ground is fairly dry, the seed can be sown. 
Before the seed is sown manure is spread about -g- inch 
thick over the ground. The first water is given when the 
wheat is about 2 in. high. After it becomes dry again a 
second watering is given. Up to the third watering care 
must be used. After that the wheat is strong and water 
can be given any time it is dry. The more water given the 
better the crop." (Galwan.) 
LATHYRUS SATIVUS. 25924. "This is sown with the wheat 
and there is no need to use any manure. The sowing 
methods are the same as for the wheat. It is sown about 
the 10th of May and ripens in about three months. The 
ground needs more moisture than for wheat." (Galwan.) 
PISUM ARVENSE. 25925. "This is sown in hot places and 
does best in sandy soil. It is sown here about the 20th 
or 25th of April and ripens in about 3 months. The method 
of sowing is the same as for the wheat except that no 
manure is put on the field. If manured the plants grow 
very large but without beans. The stalks are good to feed 
to. animals. The ground should be wetter than for wheat."
