(A) Weeding on bamboo estates is always expensive ; the 

 grass is in the land from the first, and it is difficult to get it 

 under. The above estimate is Rs. 18 per acre per annum. 



(B) Filling up Vacancies. This provides for 10 per cent, 

 of failures on the new planting, which may be exceeded 

 should the rains be unpropitious. Cost is thus arrived at : 



Re-opening, 40 pits @ 4 as. . Rs. 45 6 o

(C) The Nursery must be fully re-stocked so as to provide 

 plants for the following year's extension, and for supplying 

 vacanies over an increased area. 



(D) An annual increase of salary for both superintendent 

 and writer will not only be fair but judicious. Have 

 thoroughly efficient employes, and pay them well.
