PLANTING NOTES FROM BRITISH INDIES- 



The -Malay peninsula at present is the regulator of the world's 

 rubber output. Al)out 700,000 acres there arc planted with rub- 

 ber trees and the capital invested is $120,000,000. It is likely 

 that the British settlements, Singapore, Penang, Malacca, Welles- 

 ley and the Bindings may amalgamate in a few years with the 

 Federated Malay States, Perak. Sclangor, Negri Sembilan. and 

 Pahang, as well as the iioininally independent native states, Treng- 

 ganu. Perils and Kedah, and ask for a certain measure of au- 

 tonomy. Rubber culture is making their interests practically 

 identical. 



In 1918 the area under rubber in Ceylon was increased and 

 new clearings were made in several districts. The exports of 

 rubber, Iiowever, fell to 47,219,128 pounds from the 71.351,629 

 pounds of 1917. This was due to restrictions on shipping to 

 England and on imports into the United States. Members of 

 ihe Rubber Growers' .Association voluntarily restricted their 

 crop (lUijinls and had asked the Government for compulsory re- 

 striclinii, when the armistice was signed.
