AGRICULTURE IN THE EMS.
CAN INTERESTING REFORT.
The report on Agriculture in the F. M. S. it signed by Mr. J. B. Carruthers, although that gentleman has cow left the service. It is a document that should be carefully read by all actively connected with rubber, as managers, assistants, or directors, and might well be lo the hands of agents and shareholders, that is, shareholders who hold for investment.
In regard to agriculture the year has been a satisfactory one, especially in regard to rubber | cultivation. There have been no outbreaks of serious pesta or disastes, and good growing weather prevailed all the year round. The agricultural" estimates show that in 1998 there were under cultivation, not including padi and horticulture, Selangor. 111,710, Perak 131,830, Negri Sembilan 58,718 and Pahang 17,484, 4|| total of 310,000 acres. Of this rubber is respon sible for 168,000 acres and coconuts 118,697
Bores.
Concerning, this last camed trade product, the value of which is estimated at 23 million dollars, the report says (mm)
very large proportion of the world's 'demand for rubber.
lo, in years (190)) presuming that 25,000 Acres are plated noually, daring the next ve years (a very rosionable estimate, con- "idering that over 40,000 acres were planted during the year in both 1957 and 1958), the robber, 1r.es of the Federated, Malay States should yielḍ not less than ro,non tons of dry rubber, which at 38, per lb. reprosents a valos of $144.000,000. This amount, should the demand for rubber increase at the rate it bast been annually rising for the last nine years, will probably at that time be less than 25. por cent of the world's consumption.

The constant rainfall of Malaya makes it of.cn impossible to properly dry the copra without artificial heat and readers it very fiable to attacks of moulds and bacteria which damage its marketable value. It is posin sible to improve the quality by putting up light roofs which can be quickly placed over the capra being dried when rain is coming.
That the market will be ovamstocked with rubber is still a baunting fear of the owner of rubber property but as each year brings new

Many expert authorities expect that develop, ments in the direction of robber street-paving, covering for decks of ships, etc., may be locked for in the near future. Some two or three years 280, when I was looking into the question of robber pavement, I estimated that two inch- thick rubber of the quailty which the London and North Western Railway bad to successful-
