with careful cultivation regular Weeding and protection from insect 
pests, such as beetles and termites, we should get in my opinion 
an average yield of at least 60 nuts per tree. There are so many 
men who ridicule such returns that I hope some of them will come 
lot ward and let us have the other side of the question, of course it 
may be said that no one is justified in basing returns over a large 
Kstate, from the yield of a few trees, and this I fully recognise, at 
We same time I show that the small holding, the yield of which f 
lave quoted as what coco-nuts are giving, has 13% of practically 
unproductive trees, which would certainly be considered a very 
large average on a properly cultivated Estate,

E. V. CAREY Esqr., 
Dear Sir, 
I yesterday received your Circular re agricultural Bulletin dated 
20th January, 1902. 
I agree with you that the Bulletin may prove to he a great 
source of information to all Planters, and that we should all do 
our best to contribute any information that would be of interest to 
others. 
Some men may be too shy to write thinking that others ran des-' 
cri e things better and so on ; but what we want is an opinion 
rom every Ilanter on any subject that he has the opportunity of 
experimenting on and J feel certain that all can express themselves 
sufficiently to give information that will be acceptable to all of us. 
You ask for information with regard to yields and I think the 
following will be of interest. 
fhe last two months has been the busiest time ever experienced 
oir Lowlands Estate in picking and the return per acre has been as 
follows on the last few fields picked +- 
: 2 34 Clean Coffee per Acre. 
: 2 ' 16

and I expect to average 2\ pls„ clean coffee per acre for the round 
ol 500 acres. 
Yours faithfully, 
W. W. BAILY.
