Introduction.The peculiar method of raising a crop of rice known locally as Ko'c cultivation appears to be a practice existing only along the Malabar coast.especially in the Southern parts of the British District of Malabar and the native state of Cochin:and as far as the writers are aware the practice has been in vogue in these tracts for several decades in the past.the choice of the land selected for this purpose and the special methods employed in that connection reveal a considerable amount of ingenuity and skill on the part of the inhabitants of these localities even in those early years to utilize all available possibilities to add to their income from mother earth.
