PRELIMINARY LOCAL SHOW, KUALA LUMPUR, APRIL, 
1911. 
The Planters’ Association of Malaya have arranged to hold a 
preliminary local Show in April next, when a committee will select 
from the exhibits which are offered from the producing estates in the 
Malay Peninsula those which are considered best suited to advertise 
the quality of the various grades of rubber 'produced in the country. 
It is most desirable that every effort be made to organize a really re- 
presentative exhibit, and it is therefore hoped that companies with 
producing estates will request their local representatives to forward 
samples of not less than 25 lbs. to the Secretary, Planters’ Association 
of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, not later than April 2nd, 1911. It may 
be remembered that at the Exhibition of 1908, so few exhibits were 
sent home from the Federated Malay States that the Malay stand had 
to be partially completed from stocks held in London. 
POSITION OF EXHIBIT. 
A prominent position has been secured for the “ Malay Penin- 
sula ” exhibit adjacent to the main entrance to the Hall. In addition 
to the Malay House shown at the 1908 Exhibition, and the rubber 
samples and photographs, a large model is being prepared, showing 
part of an estate, coolie lines, machinery and drying sheds, assistant’s 
bungalow, etc. 
In conclusion, it may be pointed out that the Governments of 
many countries where indigenous rubber is produced are exhibiting 
at the Exhibition, and it behoves plantation companies to render 
every assistance to the efforts which are being made to display the 
cultivated product of British Malaya to the greatest advantage.
