xiv Coco-nuts The Consols of the East 



assist in some other way to further develop 

 coco-nut planting and allied tropical industries, 

 so as to ensure that we make the most of this 

 enormous field for human activity. Coco-nut

 experiment in this direction. The profits are 

 so great that any young planter could pay 

 a sufficiently high rate of interest on the capital 

 to allow a wide margin for insurance purposes 

 to the Government, and the security is of the 

 best.
