I had a 6-month Fulbright to Peradeniya University, a few miles from Kandy, Sri Lanka.  One day I was talking for some forgotten reason with the editor of The Sri Lanka Journal of the Humanities. He said he needed something to fill the 2005 issue and asked if I had anything he might use.  I gave him this.   It appeared under the title "The Paddy Lands of the Kandy District."  The editor made no changes except replacing  the pronoun you  with the pronoun one.  "This is a humanities journal," he explained.
