As regards edible oils I may have to address Govern- 

 ment shortly, as they must be both cheap and above 

 suspicion, and I do not at present know of any plant in 

 this Presidency for refinino- crude vegetable edible oil in 

 such way and with such thoroughness that I could use 

 it in canning. 



lo. If these operations are successful Government 

 will have introduced notable industries of great value yet 

 workable by small folk in scores of localities all along 

 the West Coast, and on their establishment Government 

 will be able at once to sell its plant practically without 

 loss, as I know by enquiries already made. But in any 

 case the experiments are well worth the few hundreds of 

 pounds which they will, at most, cost. 



Order— No. 3488, Revenue, dated i 8th December 1909. 



The proposals of the Honorary Director of Fisheries 

 regarding the establishment of an experimental fishery 

 station at Cannanore and the operations proposed to be 

 conducted by him on the West Coast are approved.
