\Tobacco re-stapled. 



KEPURT BY MR. E. COWAN, 

 Superintendent op the Experiment. 



1 have the honour to send you my 

 report on the Tobacco Experiment. In 

 all 20 acres of tobacco were planted from 

 imported Java and Sumatra seed, which 

 realised a crop of 6,700 lb. dry tobacco, or 

 335 lb. per acre, at a cost of Rs. 16,604-17; of 

 this Rs. 5,210 was salaries and travelling 

 expenses, which for the acreage planted 

 is heavy, as the same salary would have 

 been sufficient for double the acreage. 

 From this sum must be deducted a sum 

 of Rs. 1,759 45 for work done for the 1911 

 planting, as the whole of the land has 

 been dug over and is ready for planting; 

 and also ic must be remembered that 

 the drying sheds were built to last three 

 years, so that the total expended on 

 these, Rs. 2,239*94, must be divided and 

 Rs.1,393-28 deducted from the cost of 

 the 1910 experiment, which includes 

 Rs.600tora wire fence which, as it is a 

 permanent one, should not be charged to 

 Tobacco. This briues the actual ex- 

 penditure down to Rs. 7, 141 -25, which is 

 divided as follows :— 



Drying Sheds .. .. 746-64 

 Manure . . 323'00 

 Clearing by Contract .. 487'S4 

 Railway warrants . . 101 p 00 

 Sundries, Thermometers, Strings, etc. 314 76 

 Cooly wages, including picking, culti- 

 vating, planting, sorting, ferment- 

 ing 5,169-02 = 7,141-25 



In reviewing the experiment it must 

 be taken into consideration- that the 

 work was all new to everyone except 

 myself. Coolies had to be taught, and 

 were therefore slower, and so work "vas 

 more expensive than it would have been 

 it they had been trained to the Tobacco 

 work, and my best thanks are due to the 

 Superinten dent. Maha-iluppalarua , for 

 \ Tobacco re-stapled.
