849. The saving of seeds and vegetables. Supply of good quality seeds.
(1)The Deputy Superintendent is responsible that a sufficiency of Indian and acclimatized seeds is saved each year for cultivation during the next year and shall have to pay for any seeds or seedlings it may be necessary to purchase. A supply of good quality vegetable seeds will be obtained each year by the Inspector-General and distributed to jails.(2)During the cold weather when good vegetables are plentiful and the supply greater than the expenditure, well-matured and selected vegetables should be sliced, thoroughly dried in the sun and stored in a dry place for use in the hot weather and rains, to supplement the daily output of the jail garden at that season. Immature vegetables or those that are fibrous, over-grown or running to seed, should not be stored.
