With regard to labour it must be undersicod that coffes planting stands upos quite a different footing to the tobacco-growing business, which is so unhealthy, and for which heavy premioms have to be paid to attract labour. Coffee planting is a very healthy cccupation, and if undertaken in a district not too far away from a post, labour can be procured exally for the reason that Asiatics prefer to work on coffee estates, readily accept reasonable wages, and abow na inclination to run away as is the case with their confrères on tobacco plantations.
