Mr. E. L. Shaw of Parks, Singapore, and Mr. J. Lennon of the 
Economic Garden, Singapore. One of the two posts of Field Assistant 
was vacant. 
Labour. 
Labour was obtained at the reduced wages of the second half of 1921, 
with somewhat less coming and going than in that year : but still the Singapore 
roster shows 210 new engagements in the twelve months, w r hich means that 
the labourer on the average stays but eight months. 
Revenue and Expenditure. 
The revenue made in Singapore by the sale of plants and seeds was 
$2,634.37: of it $1,577.29 came from the sale of ornamental plants, 
$506.88 from the sale of economic plants and $541.49 from recoveries of 
transport expenses and from miscellaneous sales. Nothing was made out 
of rubber. 
The revenue made in Penang by the sale of plants and seeds was 
$1,062.93, being almost entirely from the sale of ornamental plants.
