SOUTH KANARA DISTRICT

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SOUTH KANARA DISTRICT has its headquarters at Mangalore. Area, 4021 sq. m. Pop. (toot), 1,134,713, showing an increase of 7 % in the decade. The
district
  is intersected by rivers, none of which exceeds too miles in length. They all take their rise in the Western Ghats, and many are navigable during the
fair
  weather for from 15 to 25 miles from the coast. The
chief
  of these streams are the Netravati, Gurpur and Chendragiri. Numerous. groves of coco-nut palms extend along the coast, and green rice-fields are seen in every valley. The Western Ghats, rising to a height of 3000 to 6000 ft., fringe the eastern boundary. Forest land of
great
  extent and value exists, but most of it is private property. Jungle products (besides timber) consist of bamboo, cardamoms, wild
arrowroot
 , gall-nuts, gamboge, catechu, fibrous bark, cinnamon, gums, resin, dyes, honey and beeswax. The forests formerly abounded in game, which, however, is rapidly decreasing under incessant
shooting
 . The staple crop is rice. The
chief
  articles of import are piece goods,
cotton
  yarn, oils and salt. Tiles are manufactured in several places out of a fine potter's clay. The Azhikal-Mangalore line of the Madras railway serves the
district
 .
