AGRICULTURAL CONDITIONS 

 IN JAVA. 



(From the Philippine Agricultural 

 Review, Vol. I., No. 10, October, 1909.) 

 During the months of April and May, 

 1907, 1 visited Java for the purpose of 

 studying agricultural conditions in that 

 country. These investigations covered 

 a period of thirty-two days, in the 

 course of which a number of the leading 

 plantations in different parts of the 

 island were visited. The following paper 

 is a brief report of the conditions 

 found on three plantations : — 



Coffee and Cacao. 

 Pare is the distributing centre for a 

 group of coffee and cacao estates which 

 extend along the sloping side« of the 

 recently extinct Kluet Volcano, In the 

 palmy days of coffee culture in Java, 

 before the price dropped from P 56 

 to P 34 per picul, these plantations 

 were prosperous, but the sudden fall 

 in prices reduced the profits to such a 

 degree that the owners were willing to 

 sell very cheap.
