The estimated pro- duction for the year is 500.000 Th., a ngalast-075,000. b. last year. Our man- ger intends to start tapping some of our young rubber of Polawi but the yield From this division of the estate for this year will not be of much importanc pro- bably about 28,000 1, which is included in the above mentionesă estimate..
