ELEMENTARY BUT ESSENTIAL.. This stems "like" stating the ABC of a valoor's dullen, bot unfortunately it is pecar, sary, and the future of a good many compantar is likely to justify our observations. - If, bow ever, a planting expert will make his valusties on the lines we hava suggested he can, use the Maximum as a sliding scala with perfect ease. Let us give two examples of what might occur. We will assume that a valust reportí as fol-
Occasionally one meets with a remark that ho valce of estates difisis so much that it is possible to valus on any fixed scals. But * w wald, these dB:recices form the chief reason for working on scale principles. When valuers put down their figures at random there is go check. If they a'a izclined to put a high valea on a pro, city end dafe not, fúr their pro- fessional credit's sake, state the prospectiva output abova a certain figure they have merely to alter the probis scale, 'and the whole charic" ter of the valuation is changed. From belog moderate It may be mide extravagadt. In ono "or two cases, we have heard men say that bey lered the prr fi a scale because it appeared to be the easite: way of expressing their opinions: on the high or low quality of an estate, There could be no mora il vesly or inaccurate melbod of valuing, and thy statement wa quote is more like an excure than an explanation. It is quite' possible in the rubber bosinca, for an Estate, which has a ow average of production per tree, andgreatly retarded development oʻtreg, to get the highest prices for the rubber it sends to Lendon Cam and sk It in the treatment of the In ex have as much to do'with the selling valve- of one lot compared with other lots as trees from which it in originally drawr, and an estate which may top the market one month may be at the bottom of it another.
DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Tamperieg with scale of profit is the most dangerous practice fou'd among rubber estats valvert, and is conducive to swindling vala aticny. It is more important that there should be a uniform scale than that it should be ac curate; and the licensed valuers should be tequired once each year to fix a gralo to ba used for all valuatió: a during the ensuing year.
There would be very little difficulty in sciog upon this suggestion. Suppose that the value year is taken as ist Joly to 3 h Jue. Then the cfficial records of prices made by the F.M.S. Goverment for purposes of levying ubber export duty, or the prices recorded at The London avelins for the previous three or six montka. could to taked as the bails of a scale, and all valuers would work upon it. 1, the Plauters' Associations were worthy of their ome, they would put a check on the scandals of valuation to which we have constantly to
:
(») Block A consists of 100 acres, and I am loformed that the age of the robber is three years. The tries are planted to closely, the ground has not been clean weeded, and it is not quite up to beat standard of fertility. When clean weeded, the rate of growth of the trees will increase, but they cannot be valued at a bigber figure than would be put upan trees iw years old grown under't'e best conditioën, and in my valuation I take them as equal
to that age.
to the Maximum Scale, a three year old tree "is valued at £143 151, and n-two year old trea £85 ras. The valuer may put back the age year, or even more, in that he has a perfect sliding scale at his disposal immediately that a standard rate is fixɔd. Now let us take an example of the opposite proceis (~
