- Negri Sembilan. — Staff. — There was no change 



riON. — The approximate area under coconut culti- 

 end of the year I estimate at 17,196 acres, some 

 the preceding year, although, owing to the large 

 lit and other trees interpknted in the kampongs, 

 in average of about 30 trees to the acre. 



Jelebu accounts for 



Kuala Pilah.— The beetles have been well suppressed, but 

 the kampongs throughout the district would still be the better 

 for more care and attention from their owners. 



Tampin.— The upkeep of the coconut plantations shows some 

 improvement, and the beetles that appear from time to time in 

 j h '-' '""kirns of Selemok, Tanjong Kling, Bongit and Chengkati 

 have been effectively dealt with. 



. Coast District.— The majority of native holdings are 

 from the UP regUkr intervals ' and arc receivin S more attention

 although I have not heard that any of them have been shot, I 

 nave been informed that thev have been quite frightened away, 

 ana not done any further damage.
