|Suggested Answers:
a. Type of agriculture and
its general, characteristics
"Ft'i's" a "typical exñóple of plantation färming. It reflects the general
characteristics of such a type of farming as below: 1) Location in the
tropical area
The sample farm is 25km from Malacca. It shows that it lies in tropical region. Plantations are usually practised in tropical regions, on fertile alluvial
soils.
2) European ownership
The farm is now owned by Dunlop Co, which is a European company. It reflects one of the characteristics that plantations are mostly owned by European countries. Usually this form of cultivation was first taken- by white people in their colonies. After the Industrial Revolution in the western European countries, the demand for tropical products increased steadily, With their immense capital,
the Europeau established farms in the tropical coastal regious..
plantations, which are
cleared out from the dense tropical rainforest, are
usually very large in size. 4) Efficient management
The work on the farm is usually well organized, e,g. five managerial staff are employed in the sample farm. Great emphasis is laid on the efficiency of cultivation and the equipment employed. Generally, besides providing for nursery beda setting up laboratories, using farming machinery, the entrepreneurs also established factories for primary processing or packing of the products.
5. Native workers employed
A lot of native workera are usually employed na reflected by the sample farms: there are 150 general labourers and 600 tappers of which 40% is Malay, 40% Chinese and 20% Indian. Natives are employed as labourers in plantations since the white people cannot stand the tropical climate.
6. Monoculture
The sample farm is specialized on the growing of rubber trees only. The characteristic of monocu is appli
plantations. Usually, on
or two crops are selected,
one
7. Systematic and
scientific work
Uging ¿tle' sample farm as an example, the fields are systematically divided into areas vielding rubber, areas with replanted but immature trees, areas of old rubber trees, and areas of being cleared. It reflects that works on ploutations" are usually systematic and scientific to ensure high yield.
8. Well facilitated
A
The estate is divided into three divisions with one village in each, The estate has also clinic, school and temple. It. reflects that in plantations there are usually villagèn for the accommodation of the hired labourers, with facilities, like markets, schools, or co-operatives scattered all over the farms.
9. Export orientated
The estate is owned by Dunlop Co., ↑ European company of which the products are sold all over the world. It shows that the prodhiets of plantation farming' are mainly for exports or are
intended for sale in the international market, There are also roads to facilitate the transportation of products for export.
b. Future development
In recent years, many of the former colonized countries begane independent. After the European plantation owners have left the country, local management becomes inefficient. The plantations either continued operation under government control
or become divided into smal} holdange owned by the native farmers, Diversification is encouraged by planting other
crops in fighting against the “přïde fructuatroir.“Vatrom
culture seldom exists in this kind of farming.
40. a. Give an account of the
favourable conditions
which used to encourage the farmers in Central Thailand to grow rice
as a major crop.
b. What problems have the
rice-growers in the aren to face with? What
measures have been
adopted by the Government
to increase farm
production in recent years?
Suggested Answers:
a. Favourable conditions for
rice growing in Central Thailand
1. Temperature
Nice growing requires 4-6 month growing season, with average temperaturė around 25oC and heavy rainfall over 1500mm or equivalent in irrigation, The temperatures in the Central Valley are high all the year. Double cropping is possible. Though the annual rainfall to total is only about 1400mm si since the valley is flanked by mountains on three sides, rainfall concentrates in the growing season and irrigation water can be easily obtained from the Ménum Chao Phraya
and its tributaries, which drain across the whole
Relief and soil
The Central Valley is a depression of vast stretches of alluvial lowlands, which allow large fields of rice cultivation. The Menam Chau Phraya and its tributaries, hotynnly supply irrigation water as mentioned above, but also leave behind vast quantity of extremely fertile sail, whichy are most ideal for the cultivation of rice. The soil fertility is replenished øvery year by the annual flood, 3. Labòur 28ùpply

h. Problems faced by the
rice farmera
During the season of high gater from May to Sept.. the whole area is diable to
fed belooding. Although extensive this sometimes help's solve the problem of insufficient rainfall in this rain-shadow ares and rejuvenate the soils, however, the length of flood seasou and the depth of flood water vary
considerably from place to
tron year to year. The food water is sometimes tao little for rice growth. On the other hand, it may rise to 3-5 mentres high to cause serious damages ta the crops,
Furthermore, the over-dependency of rice. growing on the seasonal rain and the river flood also results in the fluctuation in rice yield as well as rice prices.
Neasures undertaken by the government
Several modern irrigation works have been constructed to solve the flood problem and to ensure # cértainty of water supply. The najń scherie

instruction subject qualification Make sure that you have understood all the qualifica- tions of the subjects hefore you answer the questions. Many candidates give wrong answers and therefore obtain no marks because of their neglect of the qualifications,
(2) Experiments;
the related questions
When dealing with this type of questions, think crisically and answer concisely and precisely. Below are items generalized from the past papers which are surely helpful to you. 1. The concept of control
A control is a standard of comparison for the results of an experiment.
It differs from the test
One experiment in
respect only, that is by the one factor being investigated. Any difference in result can be attributed to the one factor that is different, 2. The experimental subjects
A proper choice of the quantity and quality of the subject for an experiment is very important for it relates to the handling of experiments and the believability of the experimental results. The table below shows how the quantity of experimental subject relates experiment.

The choice of the quality of the experimental subjects
mainly depends on the aim and the nature of the experiment. For instance, young rats should be used instead of mature rats when the growth of rats is being investigated; or sterilized seeds should be used when seed respiration is being measured,
3. The experimental set up
The purpose, use, handling, correctness, limits of accuracy and suggestion un the improvement of an experimen- tal set up will be asked, 4. Chemicals and tests
The ways to test for substances and the purposes of using certain chemicals in experiments will be asked: If you are not familiar with the common téats and the
5. To describe, explain and predict the experimental changes or results
When dealing with this type of questions, descrip- tion and explanation should be complete and presented step by step, in ʼn logical order, Do not waste time on writing things that are not needed,
6. To draw conclusions
Conclusions should be drawą directly from the experiment; do not write things that cannot be drawn from the experiment although they are true. (3) Graphs
In the KCEE, questions on graphs are set almost every year. Candidates may be asked to answer questions on a graph which' is provided, or to construct, a graph from data, given and diswer questions on it after construction. To construct graphs
The ability to construct graphs correctly is hath necessary and advantageous, for several marks can be. gained. for technique and presentation without factuo) knowledge. An improperly plotted graph may lead to inaccuracy in answering questions on value determina- tion or a wrong interpretation of the process that the graph expresses. It is there- fore suggested that in the
an
construction of graphs, keep the following points in mind.
1. Make full use of the
graph paper.
2. Select the correct axis
for each set of the data. 3. Chonge a proper scale for
ench axis.
4. Lubel ench axia fully, 5. Plot each point vith a
small cross a dot. 6. Join the points by n
smooth curve.
