He shall collect statistics of rainfall for thirty years preceding the year in which the settlement enquiry is held from the Director of Agriculture and compile the same in Form 1. He shall also collect information regarding the seasonal conditions of the zone from the Director of Agriculture and verify it by reference to reports relating to the zone, if any, issued by Government.\n(iii) Prices: The Settlement Officer shall obtain information about the wholesale prices per quintal and retail prices per kilogram of the principal crops which prevailed at each marketing centre in the zone for the last 10 years or such lesser number of years as the case may be, from the Director of Agriculture and compile it in Form 2. Where more varieties than one of any crops are grown, the prices of such varieties as may be specified by the Director shall be obtained:\n(iv) Yield of principal crops: For the purposes of this clause, the Settlement Officer shall, with the previous sanction of the Director, select such number of villages in the group as may not be less than 25 per cent of the total number of villages in the group. In respect of the villages so selected the Settlement Officer shall collect from the Collector and the Director of Agriculture, the information regarding the result of crop cutting experiments recorded by them for the last ten years or for such lesser number of years, as the case may be. He shall also try to ascertain by crop cutting experiments or by examination of accounts of individual agriculturists, the normal yield per Hectare of the principal crops grown on each class of land not having extra advantages such as wells, alluvial deposits, and irrigation. He shall tabulate the information so collected in Form 5 and 6 in respect of each of the aforesaid villages showing the average yield per Hectare and therefore calculate the average yield per Hectare for all the selected villages which will be the average for the group. He shall then calculate the cash value of such average yield at the settlement price determined under clause (iii).\n(v) Markets: The Settlement Officer shall base the information on personal observations made by him;\n(vi) Communications: The Settlement Officer shall base the information on personal observations made by him;\n(vii) Standard of husbandry: The Settlement Officer shall base the information on personal observations made by him;\n(viii) Population and supply of labour: The Settlement Officer shall collect information about population according to occupation and supply of labour from the last census report and shall compile the information regarding population in Form 7.

He shall compile the information in Form 11;\n(xii) Ordinary expenses of cultivating principal crops, including the value of the labour in cultivating the land in term of wages: The information shall be collected on the basis of crop cutting experiments referred to in clause (iv) or by examining the accounts of individual agriculturists. The result shall be recorded in the form of a statement of income and expenditure showing the net profit per hectare.",
