NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES AND OUDH MEMORANDUM.              43

Ganja, after being cut, is stored in a convenient place, and is daily crushed by the culti-
vators with their feet before it is made in small bundles. This is done when the ganja is
green.

A certain amount of charas is obtained in this (Gwalior) State by scraping off the resin
which adheres to the hands in cutting the ganja plant. In tahsíl Antri cultivators do not care
much about the charas. In tahsíl Kolaras, district Narwar, I hear charas is obtained in small
quantities by the same process as in Kumaun and Garhwal.
