 50 lb. of Evergood yielded 146 lb. 

 50 lb, of Supreme yielded 293 lb. 



The experiments were carried out on the same 

 quality of soil, and exactly the sjine conditions, 

 but the variety Supreme is no doubt the one to 

 increase. As to cost of cultivation ; this is a 

 difficult matter to estimate, as the conditions 

 vary so much, with labour supply, cost of 

 manure, and the manure of the land, whether 

 scrub, which must be cleared, or grass land 

 which only requires deep cultivation. 



The following figures are what I paid for scrub 

 land which being rocky had to be roughly ter- 

 raced, cleaning, burning and forking 52 per aero.

NOTES FROMMNYAS ALAND. 



{From a Planting Correspondent.) 

 Mlanje, Sept. 16th. — Things are prospering 

 here. 



There ought to be considerable impetus given 

 to the Tea industry this coming season owing 

 presumably to the increased exports of this 

 product, viz., 20 tons, and the price realised in 

 the home market has been well mai ntained 

 considering that the industry is in its infancy. 



A good number of acres have recently been 

 bought up, and there are prospects of a good 

 many more selling before the season is out. 



Labour naturally will be scarcer, and imported 

 natives signed on for a term, which will increase 

 the cost of opening and planting. 



An acreage of tea, planted as recently as 

 December, 1907, has already given most promi- 

 sing results, which proves without a doubt that 

 the industry is a safe one. It is not possible 

 at present to give the yield per acre, as most 

 good bushes are left for seed purposes. Up 

 to the present, orders for 10 tons have beou 

 booked for the coming season ; this should be 

 sufficient for a good few hundred acres. 



The season has been an ideal one tor tea — rain 

 having fallen nearly every month— and instead 

 of the Hush stopping in the month of May as 

 formerly, plucking has been continued right on 

 to now. Even should the price of a native 

 labour increase to 6s. per mensem, tea planters 

 will do well as the price of 7d. realised at home 

 will leave a good profit.
