Estate Population. — At the census taken in March, 1911* the 
Estate Population as such of the F.M.S. and Kedah was taken accord- 
ing to race. In the Colony and Johore, however, no such census was 
taken according to race; on the other hand occupation was distin- 
guished, and the figures compiled under the headings “Betel Nuts,’' 
“Coconuts,” “Rubber,” “Tapioca” and “Gambier” have therefore 
been taken as the equivalent of the “Estate Population ” in the other 
States. The totals thus arrived at are as follows ;

Standing Committee. — After due consideration, it was decided 
to appoint a Committee who would be able to consider thoroughly all 
matters which crop up from time to time, affecting this Association, 
in order to avoid any risk of resolutions being passed before matters 
have been considered on all their merits. It is hoped that this 
Committee will be of great use to the Association. 
Agricultural Bulletin. — It is a great satisfaction to hear 
that arrangements have been made for this paper to be edited and 
published in Kuala Lumpur, as it is one of great use to the Planting 
Community. 
Exhibitions. — During the year,, a successful Rubber Exhibition 
took place in London. Another Exhibition is shortly to take place in 
New York, to which it is hoped that members of this Association will 
give their fullest support, in order to shew America the value of this 
country as a rubber producer.
