Explanation

Deserts (pronounced with stress on the second syllable) means what someone deserves - either reward or punishment, often used in the phrase 'just deserts'. 'Punish as by beating' describes thrashing or whipping, not the concept of deserving. 'Deportment' refers to behavior, manners, or bearing. 'Fit for growing crops' describes arable or fertile land.
