The project has been estimated at Rs.17, 821.77 million including foreign exchange component of Rs.9264.25 million.

THORBURN,INDIA CIVIL SERVICE, SETTLEMENT OFFICER OF THE BANNU DISTRICT. LONDON: TRtJBNEIt & CO., 57 and 59, LUDGATE HILL, 1876.All Rights Reserved. HERTFORD :PRINTED BT STEPHEN AUSTIN AND SONS. PREFACE In the spring of 1848, just twenty-eight years ago, the late Sir Herbert Edwards, ............ In England, with all its advantages, successful farming depends on capital, which is always procurable on reasonable terms, but in this country it never is. Out here, when the State even has supplied Our model farms the meaus, and with lavish hand started model farms, either failure has resulted, or profits have been so small, that were the farm assessed at full rates, the Settlement would break down. Tea, coffee, and indigo planting con- TENURES AND SETTLEMENTS. 135 cerns have, no doubt, often succeeded, thanks to capital ;but let us not forget that many a fortune has been sunk in them as well. The peasantry of this District are probably as deficient as any in the Punjab in agricultural knowledge and energy ; indeed Pathans are proverbially worse cultivators than Sikhs, Awans, Jats, or Eajpiits. Three years' study has opened my eyes considerably, and has dispelled many prejudices. Instead of being the lazy ignorant beings I once thought them, the majority of the agriculturists of the District have proved, on better acquaintance, to be a shrewd, hard-working, and intelligent class, who understand thoroughly how to make use of their slender means in extracting full measure from their soil. When I state — and, remember, I am writing of Pathans, kSwredgetnd perhaps the worst cultivators as a race in Upper India — p^^^^^^ces. that they appreciate the value of fallows, rotation of crops, selection of seed, deep ploughing and manuring, and can tell to a nicety which of their known cereals or pulses are best suited for each soil, I shall hardly be believed, but it is a fact nevertheless. In Bannu Proper fallows are seldom resorted to, because the Kurm is ever renovating the soil with fertilizing silt, and manure is everywhere used to supplement it. So highly is house and farm manure valued, that disputes concerning the right to a share of that of dependents — one of the last manorial dues which remain to the descendants of the original founders of each village — are a fruitful source of long and bitter litigation. Even with such powerful auxiliaries as water silt and manure, the soil would soon be impoverished and exhausted, but for the system of rotation which Rotations, is practiced, whereby two crops, which withdraw similar constituents from the soil, are seldom grown in succession. The number of crops is so various — wheat, barley, peas, tobacco, and clover in spring or early summer, and rice. 136 LAND REVENUE SYSTEM— sugar-cane, turmeric, cotton, and maize in autumn or winter — that the husbandman has a wide field to select from ;and every year he always raises two, and sometimes three, crops on every rood of land he possesses. In the un-irrigated parts of the district gram is rotated with wheat in light soils, and bdjra with wheat in stiff" soils ; or fallowing is practiced, intentionally or involuntarily, for rain is seldom abundant in two successive years. In at least one village, occupied by Thalokar Jats, and not Pathans, the truth has, however, dawned that the rearing of cattle is not incompatible with the growing of corn. In it many hundred head of buffaloes are fed, to a great extent on Kiwi, a kind of grass, and other green crops are grown for them on the best lands of the village, which, in the following year, produce first-class wheat crops. Selection of seed. Throughout the District the best seed is always reserved for sowing, and in some parts, where excess of humidity or overworking of the soil causes the production of a poor grain, wheat- seed is annually imported from the Thai, where the finest grain is grown. Deep ploughing, ^g to deep ploughing, it is a fact that in this country the soil is rather scratched than ploughed ; but the reason is, that the means for piercing deeper than from four to six inches do not exist. The oxen are small, and for at least five months in the year in poor condition, and have not the strength to force the plough, light though it be, through the soil at a greater depth. I have never yet spoken to a peasant on this subject, but he has lamented his inability to turn over the soil to a greater depth ; and, pointing to his sorry yoke of oxen, asked what more he could do. That they are lean and hungry looking is no fault of his, but of the heavens, for drought and heat in summer, and frost and rain in winter, are invincible enemies to size and condition, with whom it is vain for poor men to contend. In Bannii Proper, where the soil is in many villages a stiff tenacious clay, the plough is not used at all, but a large heart-shaped spade, worked by two men, one on either side, with which the soil is turned over to a depth of nine or ten inches, and each clod is subsequently broken up.
