a time, w/ 3 mil the largest

land for loan guarantees

1 hektar = 10,000 M2 = 2.47 = 1/100 k2

they saw when the weaving is macet, 
nobody works ("kalau tenun 
macet semua tidak ada pekerjaan")
((remember, however, all peng. at are 
meeting large - small may or may not
be more involved in agr)) 
- pop. desa 11,000 people, 2400 
K.K.
size of desa 600 hektar (so 
density is 1833 per sq. K) 
Pak Lurah estim that 50%
of the people have no tanah
garap

are 1000 people in the desa who regularly 
migrate out (merantau) looking
for wage labor as far as Jakarta
and Sumatra - these are all 
men - they find work as ditch 
diggers (mengali saluran) 
carpenters, etc. 
usually stay away about 2 mo 
at a time - Pak Lurah explained
that they usually have to borrow
money from a neighbor when 
they set out on their meragtau  &
then after about 2 mo. they 
return to pay back the money 
and visit their families
- they have had rat infestations 
in their fields for the last 4 years.
