♦More than ? of tliis amount came from the Ahram vichiliy which has
irrigated land independent of rainfall.
(h) Supplies available inland, with special reference to the Bushire-
Shiraz road.
In order to meet the demand for fodder and provisions which
is created by the passage of large caravans of merchandise up
and down the main roads, the stocks of fodder available at
various stages are generally considerably in excess of the
quantities actually grown by the village concerned, as fodder is
brought in from the area round for sale to persons in the village
who make a business of supplying caravans.
It thus happens that with a few exceptions large stocks of
bhoosa and barley are available at every stage from Bushire up
as far as Isfahan, and more could usually be brought in at short
notice.
It should however be carefully noted that the whole of the
countryside lying along the main caravan route to Shiraz; and
thence to Isfahan is as regards surplus supplies available for sale
almost entirely dependent 01 the annual rainfall. Irrigated
land produces little, if anytliing, beyond bare local needs. For
the last 10 years this rainfall has steadily decreased, and, whereas
previous to 1910 wheat was exported in quite large quantities
direct to Europe, since that time the yield has barely sufficed for
the needs of the local inhabitants. So small were the crops in
some years that large amounts of foodstuffs were imported from
India along the Bushire-Shiraz road and as far as Isfahan. The
present year (19’22i should give excellent harvests as the rainfall
