of the utmost value to you. Not only is it always up to date in the information 

 published, as can be gauged by the articles from its columns reproduced in this 

 book, but it can always be relied upon for calling the attention of the planter, 

 agricultural expert, " plant doctor," as well as the shippers of the produce turned 

 out, to the most useful articles, reports and books published on the various crops 

 being raised, thereby helping its readers to be perfectly " a« _/a«V " of the best 

 advice obtainable. 



Started by its Editor in 1905, the views and policy of the paper are based on 

 experience gained by visits to the Tropics from 1890 and since, and also on the 

 personal reports of men and women who have lived in the Tropics since the 

 earlier part of last century, whose parents and friends in some cases went through 

 the horrors of the French Revolution of '93, and who themselves were in Paris 

 in '48, Others, whose information has been made use of, were among those who 

 have helped to build up and consolidate our power in India, from the first march 

 into Kabul, or through the trying times of the Mutiny. Such people have seen 

 the rise of Industrial Europe after the Napoleonic Wars, and watched the 

 expansion and progress of the British Empire from the days when labour and 

 time-saving machinery first came into use in the Nineteenth Century, as we sh^ll 

 see it further expand and progress in the Tropical zone in this, the Twentieth 

 Century. With such information and experience at its beck and call, Tropical 

 Life will always be found useful and reliable for those uncertain how to act 

 in these days of trial and stress, not only as regards production within the Tropics 

 and Sub-Tropics, but also when the crops, ready for export, have to be sent 

 across the seas to the various markets now under the shadow of war, to be 

 distributed among those badly in need of them to-day, but who will he crying out 

 twenty times as eagerly for them when the War comes to an end and the cargo 

 boats and giant steamers are rushing the food and raw materials to those who 

 need them. 



You will be wise, therefore, to become a Life Subscriber by sending £t^y 

 or an annual subscriber by remitting 10/-, to the Publishers.
