No matter how subtle the diplomacy or how polished, the procedure, the fact that

the Japanese attacked and wounded the British Ambassador to China within fifty miles of Shanghai,

cannot be altered.

Malayan-grown Seeds

Apropos at my remarks on the subject of Malayan seeds com- pared with imported kinds, one of our gardening enthusiasts joins is- sue with me, writes a Singapore correspondent. He tells me that many flowers grown in Malaya from imported seed will in their turn give excellent seed, in every respect as good as the imported. He was in- » formed, he says, when he first began gardening in Malaya, that all double blooms rapidly deteriorated and reverted to the single forms: -notable instances were zinnias and balsams. He said nothing, but surprised his friends by producing. season after season, big beds of magnificent double blooms, all grown seed saved from his own plants. Anyone, he says, can do it with equal success.

It is to be remembered, he explains, that it la the single forms of such flowers as zinnias and balsams that produce seed most freely.

There follows a crop of healthy-looking seedlings which are generally used to plant out the next season's beds. Naturally it is rare to find any double blossoms when these come to flower and they are supposed to have reverted in consequence.

During the year under review the Anti-Malarial Branch of the Board controlled fully 18.826 acres. or 29.4 square miles. A further 104 ∙acres was also partially controlled for anophelines.

Squatters' areas continued to give anxiety to the health branch as un previous years, although a steady effort was made to control all · such areas. The squatters' habit of digging the drain edges for worms. causes much damage.

With regard to the Maxwell and Kenny Road cases, the British Resident writes: "Breeding was found in the Batu River 'swamp near- by and the question of dealing with this is still under consideration. Attention was devoted throughout the year to destroying any notice- able mosquito breeding places Even now, though there are a few cases of malaria here and there, it can still be safely said that,' as a disease of importance, malaria has been eliminated from Kuala Lumpur."
