Lower Perak. — Of the 483 acres planted up with coco- 
nuts during the year 150 acres were opened up by 
Europeans. 
The crops throughout the district continued to be good 
and the upkeep of the plantations generally is satisfactory. 
Wild pigs did considerable damage to the kampongs 
during the year, but these animals are gradually decreasing 
in numbers. 
.Kim an , Se unsing and Selama. — One thousand seven 
hundred and twelve acres were opened up in these districts 
during the year, mostly in Krian. The estates and native 
holdings are well tended and in good condition. 
Kuala Kangsar and Upper Perak. — Two hundred and 
forty-six acres were planted up with coconuts during the 
year, including 20 acres on (lapis Estate. With the ex- 
ception of a few abandoned kampongs in Upper Perak, 
which are overgrown with Jalang and blnkar, the state of 
the cultivation in these districts is satisfactory and the 
beetles and other pests have caused little or no trouble. 
The trees are healthy and bear well. 
Ktnta. — Five hundred and fifty acres were planted up 
with coconuts during the year in this district. The plant- 
ations are well maintained, though the natives have to con- 
tend against the ravages of wild pigs and tame buffaloes, 
which do considerable damage, to the kampongs. 
The State Inspector reports that in the mukim of 
Sungei Raia the silt from the mining operations in the Ulu 
is gradually driving the natives from their holdings, in the 
vicinity of the stream, which is to be regretted, as they are 
driven out of their homes without being able to obtain 
compensation. 
I regret to report that at Pusing Bliaru, in the Sungei 
Trap Mukim, a large number of the coconut trees were 
again attacked and defoliated, early in the year by a species 
of Lepidoptermis larvae (belonging to the family Tineidce)
