Not illustrated. 1873 Excerpt: ... sub-division, not a single bigha of rice-producing land probably pays rent at that rate; and within the sadr or head quarters sub-division the same fact is officially reported In the second place the amount of rent paid is not necessarily a criterion of the productive powers of the land, rent depending on various other considerations, among which are the risks of cultivation, especially in the case of failure in the supply of irrigation. Thus, land which is highly productive, but liable to frequent disasters, pays less rent than lands less productive but less exposed to mischance.

In the Kandf sub-division, an average out-turn of paddy per bigha in Thanas Gokarna and Bharatpur is returned at 10 maunds. In the southern parts of the sadr sub-division from 10 to 14 maunds of paddy would be considered a fair yield from a bigha, while in the northern tracts, the average out-turn is as low as 7 or 8 maunds per bigha. The Journal of the Agricultural Society, 1870, states that the average yield in Murshidabad of a bigha of rice land is 6 or 7 maunds; the maximum 8, and in exceptional places 12 maunds. The value of ordinary paddy is about 12 annas a maund. In addition to the rice crop, a second crop of gram, pulse, peas or vegetables is...
