The amount oi supplies obtainatife in Srilitliem Persia at
the commencement of operations, whether with or without
the approval of the Persian Government, will be almost insig
nificant owing chiefly to the unwillingness of the inhabitants to
bring in what they possess for sale. During the early part of
the Bushire operations of 1018 no local supplies of any kind were
obtainable, but. as confidence was restored and it came to be
reali ed that all supplies provided for the force would be well
paid for, the hesitation on the part of the inhabitants gradually
disappeared, and as the force advanced a considerable amount
of fodder and other articles was obtained. Until therefore expe
rience has taught that the necessity does not any longer exist,
all supplies should be ca"ried, even including fodder for animals.

Wheat .—Wheat is harvested in July and August in the high
lands and in March in the coastal area, and in between these
months in the country in between according to elevation
above sea level and the climate. The biggest holders of wheat
in each district are the ruling Khans, a large proportion of whose
revenues is obtained from dealings in produce; though they
do not trade much in their own names, purchases can be made
through their brokers.
Rice .—After wheat, rice is the most important crop as
regards human consumption, and a Persian’s material pros
perity 7 is guaged by 7 the number of times a week he can afford
to eat rice. There are two kinds generally 7 recognized in Shiraz,
called respectively shahri and champeh. The rice is of very
fair quality, but generally whiter in colour than Indian rice.
At Shiraz the rice comes mainly from the fields lying to the east
and south of the city near the marshes and the salt lake. It is
sown towards the end of May and reaped in October.
