would give 4,300 maunds per acre. ‘The trees 
want very little looking after, and seedlings spring 
up by themselves wherever the trees have been cut 
down. In many cases this tree dies off after 3 
or 4 years, but even then the wood comes in for 
fire-wood. The wood burns very well and gives 
out a large amount of heat, but it burns quickly 
and is light. It could be planted out anywhere, 
in old native cultivation near the factory would

Tooni (Cedrela toona) has been planted on 
many estates. This tree does not grow quickly 
and is very subject to Mosquito blight, which 
strips it of leaves, And some planters believe that 
it really brings on Mosquito blight. On several 
gardens it has been planted along the roads, but 
many of these trees now 10—12 years old are 
only about 15 feet high. This tree certainly does 
not come on in the open, but might do better 
if planted in heavy jungle. 
Most of the trees from which building timber 
is cut are slow growing. Good trees to plant
