W. M. STANDEN,
2nd June 1898.
Director.
ORDER-NO. 426, Revenue, dated 2nd August 1898.
Mr. Standen's report on the working
of the Government Cinchona Plantations
and the factory under his control during
the year 1897–98 is full and clear. The Government will proceed to notice briefly
the more important features in the year's administration.
2. The year under review was remarkable for the comparative failure of the
north-east monsoon and the consequent prolonged drought which prevailed from
December to March. This caused a certain amount of mortality among the young
plants, particularly among those on old land. From statement No. 6 appended to the
report it would appear that from one cause or another 122,580 plants died during the
year. All these vacancies were, however, supplied by fresh plants.
