For the wet form rice-cultivation, the land must be lightly flooded for a good part of the season ; A good agriculture season is one in which a large proportion of the fields have water enough for an early start and in which the rainfall is steady, not leaving
the surface to dry up by a long break in the rain nor deluging the soil at other times. All the agriculture alluvial land of favorable elevation and quality is laid out in level rice-fields. Where the rainfall is ample-fifty inches and upwards portions of the diluvia land's soil can be utilized in the same way by merely saving the surface-water. In agriculture regions of lighter rainfall, in a few localities, such land is brought under rice by help of irrigation and if need be by terracing as well. The agriculture rice-fields are	Myanmar Agriculture Hamlet Mill
bordered by low turfy mounds (kazin) about a cubit high, to keep in the water.

A rotary implement is coming into use to prepare the clods for the harrow. There is very little open grass-land in the moist region. Unless the scrub which springs up is cut, the land soon relapses into jungle.

For the above Myanmar agriculture operations cattle are needful to the cultivator, though he makes little use of the manure and does not use the milk at all. The cattle are only used for

- In certain Myanmar agriculture localities of the delta cattle have to be protected with curtains.

In the arid region fodder has to be grown for the cattle, but goats find pasture and are kept for their milk.

The Myanmar agriculture  rice-fields first ploughed and ready are sown broad-cast for nur'series (fiyo-gin). A month later, when the rice-plants are about a foot high, they are taken up and transplanted into the prepared fields, a span apart. The roots are simply pressed down into the soft slush with the fingers or with a forked stick. The acre produces thirty to eighty bushels of grain, according to soil and season.

The Myanmar agriculture ripe corn stands three to five feet high, and so thick as to keep down tares. Unlike hill-rice which requires several heavy weedings in the season, the wet rice-fields need no care beyond that of regulating the water-supply. Where there is drainage for the water, it is allowed to stand only a few inches high on the ground.

As tee grain ripens, the soil is allowed to dry. If there is a head of water available during the rains, channels are led to the fields to keep the supply equal. If the supply is near and only at a slightly lower level than the fields, the effects of drought are counteracted by various devices such as the ka-hnwe. Running water at too low a level to lay on to the fields is utilized by help of a bamboo water-wheel (jut), or if the water be still, the wheel is driven by ox-gear. In some parts, Myanmar agriculture rice is planted on the river banks as the floods begin to subside.

The varieties of rice, of which there are many, suited to

different soils and modes of cultivation, take from three to five months to mature. The Myanmar agriculture harvest of the crops is from October to December, according to the variety and time of planting out.

When the grain turns yellow, flights of parakeets and other birds descend on the crops, from which they have to be scared till reaping-time. Bamboo clappers are worked by bast lines in a radius of a hundred yards from the watcher's hut.

Where there is an abundance of pasture for cattle, the stubble is left very high and is burned where it stands, to manure the ground.

But if straw is needed for fodder the corn is cut close to the ground, having first been laid by pressing it down with bamboos, which makes it easier. For reaping the Myanmar agriculture villagers cooperate. But in the plains of the delta, where cultivation has extended so greatly, there is not labour enough on the spot to reap the crop. Harvest laborers come down from Myanmar proper.

The sheaves are left to dry for a day in the sun and then gathered into garbs. These are piled on a dry field into a circular heap some three feet high, and broad enough for a herd of buffaloes to tramp round upon and tread the grain off the ear, to which it is attached by a slender petiole. Another way is to pile the garbs in a high crescent-shaped heap, round the central space of which four to six head of cattle are made to travel abreast and tread the garbs which are cast down from above. The grain keeps best in the husk and is stored in bins of bamboo wattle smeared with clay.

The covering of the rice-grain is a strong adherent husk like that of barley, but without any beard. Rice in the husk is called Saba (Engl. paddy). Leaning the coarse yellow husk is a shell of bran, and beneath that a delicate white pellicle. The two outer coverings have to be removed and the inner one preserved. " Cargo rice," which forms the bulk of the mill produce, is three parts rice, simply husked, and one part paddy. The mixture bears the transport better than white rice. Cleaning the rice with the hand-mill, cakes and sweets, rice is ground with water in first soaking, it is passed through the mill fluid, which is strained and used while fresh.

Myanmar's agriculture clean the rice according to daily need. This is done either by simple pounding or by first husking the grain in a wooden mill (kyeissiin), and then pounding it to get off the bran. The mortar is of hard wood, with a hard wood pounder as heavy as the arm can wield ; or else the pounder is mounted in a tilting-beam for foot-power. Chaff and bran are separately winnowed out with sieves and trays (sagchv) of bamboo, and in exposed places by the help of the wind also. For wholesale husking, the native mill is composed of two strong wicker-work cylinders made solid with clay, in which are embedded upright staves of hard wood As the mill wears clown, the layers of wood keep above the clay like the layers of enamel in a herbivore's tooth, maintaining a rough surface for work. In the early clays of the export trade, rice was husked for shipping in this way. The separation of the chaff is done with a machine copied from our farmyard and now manufactured.
