3- Sec that dead standing trees are felled before any 

 planting is done. 



Burning. 



At least 3 months after fellin<^ is completed should be alliHved for 

 the jungle to dry before burning. 



Lining. Holing, Changkoling, after Burn, 



Pickets for lining must be put in carefully and deep, and lines 

 must be straight in every direction. Dig planting holes immediately 

 behind pickets, and on the same side in every case, to ensure straight 

 lining. Do not allow pickets to be removed till planting is finished. 



Holing 



The holes be must dug 2 feet square and 2 feet deep in every case, 

 whether for stumps, baskets, plants or seeds. A heap of good earth 

 is to be stacked at side of each hole for planting. Dig out all timber 

 in holes. 

 Planting. 



When stumps are planted, they are to be planted in the empty 

 hole, and earth, in half baskets only, tramped in very firm round the 

 tap root till the hole is full. The great secret in stump planting is to 

 have the earth round the entire depth of the tap root stamped firmer 

 than the surrounding earth. Do not plant deeper than the collar of 

 the stump. Immediately stumps are pruned at nursery, tar 2 inches 

 top and bottom. 

 Baskets or Seeds at Stake. 



In planting these, see that the hole is first filled with the good 

 soil and the baskets or seeds planted firmly in it. Three seeds to 

 every basket or hole. 

 Plants. 



When planting small plants, first fill the hole with firmly stamp- 

 ed good soil: make a hole with a stick and drop the tap root of the 

 plant straight into it up to the collar, and then firmly press soil round 

 plant. 



Great care must be taken to see that the coolies do not plant with 

 a bent tap root. 



If time sufficient and labour available, dig over whole area, either 

 before or immediately after planting. If there is any lalang in the 

 area, dig it out. All lalang on the boundary line should be likewise 

 treated. 



The Manager is to have whether whatever is going on directly 

 under his Personal Supervision. 



Under no circumstances whatever is the Estate to be left without 

 the Manager or one European Assistant. 



I wish to insist on the whole of the foregoing instructions being 

 implicitly carried out by the Manager and those under him.
