Although the seed sowing does not last many days, the period Pa-chog' continues five or six weeks. Sa'-ma is the last period of the calendar. It is the period in which the rice sementeras are prepared for receiving the young plants and in which these seedlings are transplanted from the seed beds. The last Sa'-ma was near seven weeks' duration.
November 15, 1902, the seed rice was just peeping from the kernels in the beds of Bontoc and Sagada, and the seed is sown immediately after the third turning of the earth, which thus ended early in November. Pa-chog' is the seventh period of the annual calendar. It is the period of seed sowing, and begins about November 10.
This ceremony is performed at the close of the period Pa-chog', the period when rice seed is put in the germinating beds. It is claimed there is no special oral ceremony for Po-chang'. The proceeding is as follows: On the first day after the completion of the period Pa-chog' the regular monthly Pa'-tay ceremony is held.
