In the Gutta percha plantation the trees were freed from undergrowth and 
inferior species of trees were thinned out, where necessary. The Para was drained and 
cleared. 
Four hundred and twenty-seven Para trees were numbered and measured, 
and entered in a register, the balance was measured in 1910. Thirty-four additional 
trees came into bearing, making a total of 861 tapable trees, and 3,309^ lbs. rubber 
were obtained as against 2,172 lbs, in 1910. The Conservator paid two visits 
during the year. Over 30,000 Para seeds were sown in the nurseries and are 
doing well. 
The 50 Penak and 150 Resak seedlings planted out in the Merlimau reserve 
in 1910, did not prove a success. The 100 Merbau seedlings planted are doing well. 
In the Sungei Udang reserve most of the Merbau seedlings planted out last year 
have been destroyed by rats. The Resak seedlings are doing well.
