TURUT

are a hammam or bathroom, a meshid or mosque, and a
burch or old castle, probably a relic of the time when men
here must be prepared for the plundering raids of Turk-
mans. The tilled fields, which were now green, also lie of
course below the terrace, and are irrigated by the branches
and channels of the kanat. The allotments are separated
by walls of sun-dried bricks 5 feet high. To the north
the limit of the löss area is very distinct where the yellow
colour breaks off at the grey slope of the screes.
At a distance of 3 farsakh to the north, at the foot of
the hills coloured in shades of yellowish-red, stands a
saint's grave. It is called Imamsadeh-Shah-Aulia, and was
erected in honour of the brother of Imam Riza. The
mosque-tomb seems to be built of burnt bricks, but is
covered outside with tiles, and this is a mark of great
veneration. Fresh water and pastures are to be found
in the neighbourhood. When the saint's festival is held
at the beginning of summer, the people of Turut and the
surrounding villages, men, women and children, flock
to the tomb with their sheep and camels, where they
spend ten or fourteen days ; it is at the same time a
summer holiday, where perhaps religious enthusiasm plays
a less important part than the pleasures of life.
Turut has 300 to 400 camels, which are employed in
caravan traffic. Four kran a year are paid for each of
them as maliat or cattle tax to the Shah, but barely half
of the product of the tax appears to reach its supposed
destination, the rest sticking to the hands of the officials
on the way. In the time of Nasr-ed-din Shah this tax
amounted only to i 2 to 2 krans, and much displeasure
is felt at the increase. Half a kran is paid for a sheep,
and the village owns 2000 sheep. The other domestic
animals are 300 asses, a dozen cows, and two horses, besides
dogs and fowls. An adult man pays a tax of i 6 kran.
Turut provides 5o soldiers for the service of the State.
It was now their turn to come home to their village, and
they complained that they had not received a farthing of
pay for their service ; their recompense was retained in
their officers' pockets.
Turut produces wheat and barley, white and red beet,
