Abstract


I sowed thin seed bed of Samba paddy on the 25th August 1913 at the rate of 7 Madras Measures of paddy in 7 cents for transplanting an acre. Doubts were expressed at first, when transplanting was done after 42 days, whether the crop would come up well. The crop suffered at the outset for want of water but subse- quently regained its vigour when freshes were received in the channel. About a month and half after transplanting, the crops had an attack of worms, specimens of which were sent to the Government Entomologist for identification and advice. He ad- vised me to drain the water off the fields which is also our local practice. The crop recovered from the disease later and tillered freely.
