BOMBAY ADMINISTKATION EEPOET.
[1881-82.
The season was more favourable to wet than to dry crops. The
heavy rains in July washed away or crushed the early sown mai Ze
and bairi but was good for transplantation of rice and boota.
Make and bajri were resown during the break immediately fol_
lowing’ and yielded a fair crop. The rainfall m October proved
of much benefit to the later grown products of the province.
The rainfall was 47 inches 88 cents, and may be regarded as
heavy but propitious, and prices were, as a rule, cheaper. The
condition of the people may now be said to have quite rallied
from the shock of misery and wretchedness following the year of
distress.
A model farm is being established at Piplad in Bariya, where
scientific farming is to be carried on and the. breed of cattle and
sheep to be improved j and as a good superintendent has been
engaged, the scheme has every prospect of success.
The forests in Bariya on the Panch Mahals side have been
extensively denuded since the commencement o£ the railway
line to Godhra, and, on this being brought to the notice of the
R£ja, he is considering the propriety of adopting a system of
conservancy similar to that in the Panch Mahals.
The Rdja of Rajpipla has undertaken to reduce the transit
duties to the scale laid down in 1854-55; there is a want of
communication and not much through trade in this State. The
redaction of transit duties in Bariya has greatly benefited the
State, and the receipts have trebled in three years, rising from
Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 17,000 and on the opening of the railway to
Godhra a further development of traffic from Malwa and Marwar
through this little State may be confidently expected.
