f The expenditure for planting the 100 acres each year includes cutting 

 and clearing jungle, removing roots, digging, staking, pitting, and sowing the 

 seed. In fact all expenditure including part of the pay of Manager and 

 Establishment. The rate per acre decreases each year, because each year 

 there is more expenditure of other kinds, which helps to pay for the Manager 

 and Establishment. 



J The reason why the rate for cultivation on the 100 acres planted each of 

 the three first years increases each year is given in the table and remarks at 

 pages 84 and 85.
