Temerloh. 



The total land revenue, exclusive of land sales, was $13,305, being 

 $1,343 more than in the previous year. No arrears of rent were 

 carried forward to the present year. 



The rice crop was, as a whole, satisfactory. 



Pekan. 



The land rents collected in the Pekan district amounted (including 

 $1,540 mining rents) to $10,987, practically the same amount as in 

 1908. The arrears due— viz., $377 — are too large. 



The areas held on permanent and incomplete titles, respectively, 

 are as follows : — 



vmagelands. Agricultural. Mining. 

 Lots. Acres. Lots. Acres. Lots. Acres. 



Held on perma- 

 nent title 74 3 ... 781 5,125 .. 41 2,131 



Held on incom- 

 plete title 36 3 ... 4,123 10,209 ... 15 460 



About 1,700 acres, mostly of plough-land, held on temporary 

 licence, are not included in the above return. 



The new applications received for lands to be held by title of 

 entry in the mukim register numbered only 180, the smallest number 

 received during the last five years. 



The padi harvest 1908-1907 is reported to have been fairly good 

 in quantity and quality: the yield was estimated at 400,000 gantangs 

 from 4,000 acres. 



The number of applications and incomplete titles awaiting regis- 

 tration in the mukim register on the 1st January, 1909, was 4,051; 

 the similar number on the 1st January, 1910, was 4,093. In the all- 

 important work of registering native holders, this district, so far from 

 progressing, has accumulated further arrears. 



Kuantan. 



In the Kuantan district, land rents, other than mining rents, 

 increased by $1,200 to $7,564. 



Agriculture is not of great importance in Kuantan, although a 

 considerable extension in estate cultivation of rubber is probable. 



The number of applications and incomplete titles awaiting regis- 

 tration in the mukim register on the 1st January, 1909, was 1,649; 

 the corresponding number on the 1st January, 1910, was 1,581. 

 Progress is unsatisfactory. 



Coconut Cultivation. 



The Inspector of Coconut Plantations estimated a total area of 

 15735 acres as being under cultivation in Pahang at the end of 1909. 

 The increase over the previous year is negligible.
