Finally there are 26,000 trees newly planted, which we put down at 117 acres. With the or ception of an undrained swamp where a pome bar of young trees are, as Mr. Machado says, "struggling for existence," the condition of the estate is well spoken af by the valuer.

Bat we observe a marked disparity between his census of trees ́according to age and his statement of the number ready for tapping. There are 9.200 trees over 3 years old at this moment, yet the waluar only considers 4,000 fit for tapping, and be estimates that in the first year the yield will be 3,000 lbs, which is equal to 15% for each tree nominally of tapping age. Evidently the growth has been, as a whole, somewhat retarded.
