Land in the Khasi Hills proper, i.e. land in the high plateau, is held somewhat differently from land in the Jaintia Hills and the Wár country; it will be necessary to describe the land tenures and laws regarding land of each of these divisions separately. As land is always jhumed by the Bhois and Lynngams from year to year, customs regarding land with these people are naturally very simple.
U 'rai-shan is cultivated in rotation with the potato, u 'rai-soh and u 'rai-truh are generally cultivated on jhumed land, where they thrive well. The following are the best known varieties: Ka kait khún, ka kait siem, ka kait kulbuit, ka kait bamon, ka kait shyieng.
These kinds of potato are planted on all classes of land except hali, they do best on jhumed and homestead lands. The roots of the plant after being peeled are eaten raw by the Khasis. As far as we know, this esculent is not cultivated in the adjoining hill districts. This cereal forms a substitute for rice amongst the poorer cultivators.
