This grass, cogon, is too thick and strong to be turned by therude plows in use, and immense portions of the countryhave thus become useless except for pasture. The buffalo is also used for riding and for transport-ing rice and sugar and timber upon huge two-wheeled carts, which are frequently roofed with palm thatch orwoven bamboo for protection against rain.

They fish with cast nets and seines andalso extensive fish pens and weirs. There is considerable trade and intercourse kept
