You will remember that last year estimated that we should produce our 1924 and 1925 year crop at. around 10d, per Ib, all in. Tt must therefore be satisfactory to you to note that, in fact, we did so at something better than 2d. lg, or 9.210. ver Ib, Though this figure ism: ferially higher than the best Malay an estates work at, even while rentricting output, yet it compares favourably with that of any estate "of similar size as to reflect the greatest credit on the manager and ing the year under review a very conservative system of oper: ing was in force and. you wil observe from the report that only 365 acres, or 58 per cent. of our total tappable acreage, was used to give-us the full crop that we were allowed to produce.
Bark consumption has been very carefully supervised and in no month has exceeded the normal average, andiin his latest report our visiting agent notes that the standard of tapping has been very creditable.
