During the latter part of the dry season the rice land is cleaned of vegetation with knives, then after the first rains the people gather in parties of ten to fifty to plant the rice. The men, each of whom is equippedwith a tugda, work in a line. The instrument is raised a few inches above the ground and is propelled downward. The force of the fall causes the point to enter the ground to a depth of about one inch. The rebound occasioned by the spring in the curved lower end causes theimplement to jump upward, to clear itself. The top of the tugda is split so that it will clatter when the instrument strikes the ground, thus cheering the people at their task. | |
