PRELIMINARY LOCAL SHOW, KUALA LUMPUR, APRIL, 



1911. 



The Planters' Association of Malaya have arranged to hold a 

 preliminary local Show in April next, when a committee will select 

 from the exhibits which are offered from the producing estates in the 

 Malay Peninsula those which are considered best suited to advertise 

 the quality of the various grades of rubber produced in the country. 

 It is most desirable that every effort be made to organize a really re- 

 presentative exhibit, and it is therefore hoped that companies with 

 producing estates will request their local representatives to forward 

 samples of not less than 25 lbs. to the Secretary, Planters' Association 

 of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, not later than April 2nd, 1911. It may 

 be remembered that at the Exhibition of 1908, so few exhibits were 

 sent home from the Federated Malay States that the Malay stand had 

 to be partially completed from stocks held in London. 



POSITION OF EXHIBIT. 



A prominent position has been secured for the Malay Penin- 

 sula " exhibit adjacent to the main entrance to the Hall. In addition 

 to the Malay House shown at the 1908 Exhibition, and the rubber 

 samples and photographs, a large model is being prepared, showing 

 part of an estate, coolie lines, machinery and drying sheds, assistant's 

 bungalow, etc. 



In conclusion, it may be pointed out that the Governments of 

 many countries where indigenous rubber is produced are exhibiting 

 at the Exhibition, and it behoves plantation companies to render 

 every assistance to the efforts which are being made to display the 

 cultivated product of British Malaya to the greatest advantage. 



Yours faithfully.
