Hundreds Of Thousands Of Acres.

The effect of this extensive ad- dition to interior communications will to be to open up some bun- dreds of thousands of acres of land suitable for rubber plantations. The rainfall varies from 0 to 90 inches per annum, and is sufficient- ly generous to offer some restric- tons on tapping, the Burma season of latex flow being nine months, as compared with an 11 months' flow in the Federated Malay States. Burma yields, q therefore some 20 per cent. less than those of the F. M. S., but. against this, Burma planters set the lower cost of production to their advantage (an adequate sup- ply of labour is to be had with out difficulty), and also the admit ted fact that their plantations are freer from plant diseases than the Ma Malayan.
