In conclusion, I might just say that, assuming that our property, when in full bearing, yields 5001b, of dry rubber per aere, and that the cont of production is Ed. per pound and selling price 18 per pound, it will show a return of 32 per cont, on our capital cost, while cash-1d per gourd added to this price will give us an addi. tonal 8 per cent. If, therefore, rubber should be at 28. per pound, the return on the original cap- ital will be equal to 129 per cent., and I may say that the figures I have given you are alroody accomplished facts on properties not so favour ably situated as our properties.
