Trojan War in Greek legend is a famous war waged by the Greeks against the city of
troy. The tradition is believed to reflect a real war between the Greeks of the late
Mycenaean period and the inhabitants of the Troad, or Troas, in Anatolia, part of
present-day Turkey. Modern Archeological excavation have shown that troy was
destroyed by fire sometime between 1230 BC and 1180 BC, and that war may have
resulted from the desire either to plunder the wealthy city or to put an end to Troy’s
commercial control of Dardanelles. Legendary accounts of the war traced its origin
to a golden apple, inscribed “for the fairest” and thrown by Eris, goddess of discord,
among the heavenly guest at the wedding of Peleus, the ruler of Myrmidons, and

Blueberries

Blueberries really stand out. They contain both insoluble fiber which “flushes” fat
out of your system and soluble fiber which slows down the emptying of your
stomach, and improves blood sugar control. In a study by the United States
department of Agriculture, people who consumed 2.5 cups of wild blueberry juice
per day for 12 weeks lowered their blood glucose levels, lifted depression and
improved their memories. Researchers credit these results to anthocyanins in the
berries, a natural chemical that shrinks fat cells and also stimulates the release of
adiponectin, a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, among other things.

Furrow irrigation is conducted by creating small parallel channels along the field
length in the direction of predominant slope. Water is applied to the top end of each
furrow and flows down the field under the influence of gravity. Water may be
supplied using gated pipe, siphon and head ditch or bankless systems. The speed of
water movement is determined by many factors such as slope, surface roughness
and furrow shape but most importantly by the inflow rete and soil infiltration rate.

spacing typically range from 0.75 to 2 meters. The crop is planted on the ridge

Clever Farmer
One night a clever farmer was returning home from a cattle fair. He bought a
buffalo from there. As he passed through a dense forest, a dacoit came in front of
him. He has a thick stick in his hand. He said, ”Hand over all that you have.”
The farmer got scared and gave his money to the dacoit. As he turned to go,
the dacoit said, ”Gave me the buffalo too. Why are you taking it away?”
The farmer handed over the buffalo’s rope to the dacoit. Then the farmer said,
“You have taken everything of mine. Can you give me your stick?”
“Why do you need it?” the dacoit enquired “My wife will be pleased that at
least I got a stick from the fair.”
The dacoit gave the stick to the farmer happily. Immediately the clever farmer
