In the train (Assam Mail). Dead flat country, mostly rice-fields, with areas of tall grass, resembling pampas grass, with feathery white tops, very pretty. Natives very busy ploughing the stiff mud, smoothing the surface with boards drawn by cattle, building up the mud banks dividing the patches, & pricking out & spacing the half-grown rice. Others fishing with rods, traps, or square nets on frames adapted for lowering & raising. |
