Uplands being capable of cultiva- tion in Chyolls, a scheme was adopted in 1912 for increasing the plantation of this crop up to an area of 60,000 chn by 1017. This would have put half the land in the province under cot- ion, but it would have deprived the Borcans of the land necessary for the raising of their household vegetabira. It was therefore manifertly impracticable, and a more modest rebeme has been adopted.
