The soil of the Barar province is productive in cereals. Corn and vegetables are found there in abundance, as is also the poppy, the plant from which opium is made. There is a great quantity of sugar-cane. A garrison of seven thousand horsemen is maintained; and the chief town lies at twenty-three degrees of latitude, and one hundred and twenty-five degrees forty minutes of longitude.
