them in the evening, so that they may bear fruit while they are still near the
ground. When you pick seed cocoa-nuts off the tree somebody should stand at
the bottom of the tree and watch whether the “monkey-face” of each seed cocoa-
nut, as it is thrown down, turns either towards himself or the base of the tree, or
whether it looks away from both. In the former case the seed will be good, in the
latter it is not worth planting.
Plant Rice in the early morning, about five, because that is the hour at which
infants (the Rice Soul being considered as an infant) get up.
