CONDITIONS AND EXTENT OF CEYLON RUBBER PLANTING. 



Two facts of importance in connection with the planting 

 of rubber now in progress in Ceylon— and similar con- 

 ditions are obtaining in the Malay States — are (i) the 

 wide distribution ot the work, involving the interest of 

 very many people, and (2) the systematic manner in which the 

 new culture has been undertaken. It is to be noted, by the 

 way, that all planting of the more important products in those 

 countries is conducted on a comparatively large scale — gener- 

 ally by companies (often owned in England), whose estates are 

 placed in the hands of salaried managers of experience and 

 proved capacity. 



The account keeping of these estates is required to be as 



carefully done as in a mercantile house or the office of a rail- 

 way manager ; with directors and shareholders to be satisfied, 

 in the matter of returns, the estate manager must study every 

 possible economy, while the best possible product must be ob- 

 tained in order that good prices may be realized. Under such 

 conditions is produced, for example, the Ceylon tea of com- 

 merce. Of course there are many privately owned plantations, 

 but their methods do not vary, practically, from those on estates 

 owned by companies. Not the least important consideration 

 is the exchange of views and results, through the medium of 

 the well sustained planters' associations, by which means what- 

 ever progress is made on one plantation results in the common
