Upwards of 1,300 trees were planted along the Fanling-Taipo Road. They consisted of Poincianas, Albizzia and Camphor.
Alongside the road leading from Castle Peak to Fanling 430 trees were planted consisting of Camphor, Poinciana, Ficus, Melaleuca and Albizzia.
On the hills in the vicinity of the Fanling Golf Course over 7,000 trees and shrubs were planted of which over 4,000 were planted to give an effect when in flower.
Creepers damaging trees in plantations on Mt. Victoria, Mt. Gough, Mt. Kellett and Mt. Parker were cut.
A large felling of pine and broad-leaved trees was made at North Point in order to enable material to be obtained for reclamation purposes.
Large fellings were also made on Farm Lots purchased by the Dairy Farm Co. for the cultivation of Guinea Grass.
About 6,000,000 square feet were cleared of undergrowth at the expense of the Government in connection with anti-malarial measures.
In connection with survey work about 700,000 square feet were cleared.
In the economic garden at Fanling vegetables were grown for demonstration purposes. Several experiments were also made with artificial fertilizers.
The first rice crop was good but the second was poor in many places owing to the lateness of the rains. Much damage was done to the latter crop by typhoons which occurred just before harvesting.
Lichees were below the average but peanuts were good.
