7. GENERAL. 



The Secretary reads the following correspondence :— 



lOth May, 1911, 



The Editor, 



Agricultural Bulletin, 



Singapore. 



Dear Sir, 



At the Annual General Meeting of this Association held on 30th 

 ultimo, I was instructed to ask you whether you could make any 

 reduction in the subscription charged us of $1,000 per annum. 



Believe me, &c., 



C. St. G. Wheeley, 



Secretary. 



Botanic Gardens, 

 Singapore, May l6th, IQII, 



Dear Sir, 



In answer to your letter as to the subscription of the Planters* 

 Association to the Bulletin, I would point out that the subscription 

 for this year has been already paid, and that as I am leaving the 

 East at the end of the year, the Bulletin will then naturally cease to 

 exist, so that there will be no more subscription to pay. 



I remain. 



Yours truly, 



Henry N. Ridley. 



Mr. Gibson remarks that this is unfortunate and asks whether it 

 would be advisable to ask Dr. Ridley's successor to continue the 

 work. He would suggest that the Association ask Dr. Ridley to ask 

 his successor to continue on the same lines. He says that Dr. Ridley's 

 contributions have been highly valued by the Planting Community 

 and it would be a distinct loss if the Bulletin were discontinued.
