PLANTING IN THE SOUTHERN PROVINCE 
OF CEYLON : UDUGAMA, CEYLON. 
This is a small district near Galle very compact com- 
prising the following estates: — Riseland above the river 
Gindura near Udugama village,and also Udugama estate. 
These two places lie separately from the main district. 
Then taking the new cart road from Udugama village 
you ascend and arrive at Saumarez, where there is a nice 
factory and machine worked by steam. This is the 
largest factory in the district and takes the leaf from 
the greater part of the district. Then passing along the 
cart road, you come next to Daphne, then " the Com- 
pany" as it is familiarly called (Ginniedomine is tbe 
name of the estate). Taking the bridle path branching off 
at Ginniedomine bazaars you reach Doonebale, beyond 
which are Beau Sejour, and Digdolle, while lying 
between Doonebale, Saumarez and Ginniedomine is 
Indian Walk where the only clearing of the year is 
in progress. I have mentioned Saumarez factory, but 
there are besides the Doonebale factory, a con- 
verted set of lines, and the Riseland faotory a neat 
small building. Indian Walk has just been furnished 
with a factory, so that there are now four factories 
in the district. 
Beyond Beau Sejour, tbe cart road, now in course 
of metalling, leads away through forests and chena 
to the road between Galle and Kauaka. Tbe road is 
being splendidly laid with metal and will soon be in 
fino order. The only complaiat now is that there is so 
litUe depth of metal. 
Labour. — Most estates, — in fact all, — use Tamils for 
the ordinary work and call in Sinhalese when 
pressure comes. Sinhalese get 2| cents per lb. of 
green leaf. There are many Sinhalese located on 
the estates and in many cases the Tamil has taken 
unto himself a Sinhalese wife — and invariably the 
union has been mote satisfactory than if he had a 
wife from among his own people The Sinhalese is 
a b< tttr wife than a Tamil, being more obedient and 
careful with tbe cooking. 
There is a laige field in the villages from which to 
draw all surplus labour, and Tamils form the peima- 
nent forci j . 
Tea Prospects — A great part of the district having 
been opentd in various New Products, the cream of 
tho soil was taken off before the tea was put in and,
