39 201. The results of the two last columns are not of course known at the
40 dates the local report is submitted The failures are due to the stoppage of
41 the water-supply as already described. The Inspector-General visited the
42 works with the Conservator and Officers in charge during the winter.
43 902. The above work consisted in sowing and planting Shisham (Dalbergia
44 Sissu) and other staple trees, including 100,000 willow cuttings, and cuttings
45 of Tamariz in bad soil.
46 203. I should here note that the “ Kikar” (4. Ara-
47 bica,) interspersed among other trees, escaped the frost,*
48 and died when sown by itself in lines.
49 904. Some idea of the extent of work in trenching and making water-cuts
50 in a year’s work for such a large plantation may be
51 gathered from the facts that it amounted to 13,083,686
52 cubic feet of earth-work.
53 Nesult with ‘‘ Kikar.”
54 Extent of earth-work.
55 Scie av thinnin 205. It is satisfactory to find that for 1,200 acres of
56 ; a thinnings a sale was found ; this was at first in such a
57 locality doubtful.
58 206. Lahore Saildbd—consisting of the old Jagran Plantation, extended
59 Gailabé, or river washed by the ‘ Shddera” rakh land, and a plot lower down the
60 land. river called Sddhanwali. Jagran was before completed ;
61 it was thinned out, yielding 5,000 maundst of wood, selling at Rs. 5v0, or
62 Rs. 10 per hundred maunds for mere thinnings.
63 207. In Shddera 530 acres wore sown in the spring of 1871, but totally des-
64 troyed by the extraordinary floods, which also carried away
65 100 acres of land besides; this incidental loss is the neces-
66 sary set-off to extreme cheapness of work and otherwise
67 easy success on Sailibd or river-washed lands.
68 Destruction by floods,
69 Nocessary evil.
