not return to it till its turn came in the

 first few years to teach the people how 

 to fire-protect their area. 



12. I have written the above for the 

 purpose of eliciting information as to 

 whether any attempt has ever beeu 

 made to systematise taungya cultivation, 

 and also for favour of any suggestions 

 that may be made. I am at present 

 assisting at the settlement of an area of 

 some 850 square miles with hills running 

 to over 7,000 feet that is about to be 

 reserved for climatic reasons. This area 

 contains some 1,400 Palaungs, a race that 

 cannot live at low levels. These Pa- 

 laungs have to be provided with taungya 

 areas inside this reserve. They have 

 already done an iucredible amount of 

 damage, cutting without a rotation and 

 in virgin forest by preference. The 

 forests at the high altitudes were mostly 

 pine, and taungya cutting has caused 

 large patches to become treeless grass 

 land which has materially affected the 

 water-supply. 



If taungya areas are simply formed in 

 the usual way without regulations being 

 insisted on, I have little doubt that in at 

 most another two decades the Palaungs 

 would convert them into unproductive 

 wastes incapable of supporting any 

 population.
