the House of Commons chancellor Nc

EXPERT
+. NOW IN Orient.
At Head Of Department Of Agri-
culture In the Malay
States 80

l.. LewtOn- Brain, formerly an assist
ant at the sugar planters experiment
station is now director Of agriculture
in the Federated Malay States. In his
annual report for 1913 Lewton- Brain
states that the total area planted in
rubber was over 433, 900 acres in the
Malay States, over 10000 acres IN the
Straits Settlements, and l64, 900 acres in
the nonfederated states. The total
planted area in Malaga amounted to
nearly 10000 acres, of which only 2l3,-
600 acres had come into bearing.
The average yield of rubber is 800
pounds per acre. Malaga produced over
10000 tons of rubber in 1914, or nearly
two-thirds of the worlds plantation
supply. Production is increasing at the
rate OF nearly thirty per cent each year
as new areas come into bearing. r. 90
Scope Of Work
Less than 10000 acres Is in coffee,
but about $4,000 acres are in cocns-
nuts. About l25,00O acres Is In rice,
the principal food crop Of the country.
The department of agriculture con.
ducts three experiment stations at
which it is carrying on Investigations
with Central American rubber, bananas,
roselle, indigo, oil palms, Manila hemp,
sisal, ipecac, Brazil nuts, camphor, and
other money crops. Particular atten-
ticn Is given to the insect pests and
fungus diseases of rubber and cocoa.
nuts and experiments in cultivation are
also under way.
Lewton Brain says in his report that
the cultivation Of catch crops and COW
er-crops on the plantations is unpopu-
lar unless a direct profit from growing
them can he shown. Hence there was
less than 900 acres of rubber planted
with inter-crops in 1918. These were
chiefly sweet potatoes and beans.

MANGANESE IS NOT
SUGAR FERTILIZER
italian investigators Throw New
Light On Problem Of Indi-
rect Fertilizers

Much has been written on the sub.
ioct of the relation Of manganese salts
TO fertility and sugar production and
Experiments have recently been con
Quoted at the Modena, Italy, expert.
ment station to test out the theory. As
result of work done in 1914, the work
eTs at this experiment station now re-
port that they "consider that applica.'
tions of salts Of manganese are efici.
ent only in the mfrequent cases where
the element is deficient in the soil.
They state that manganese salts in.
teffere with the intrifcation process
when they are present in excess. How
ever, when added in very small
amounts to soils lacking manganese
they tend to promote the active fOrms-
ton Of nitrates. When present in ex-
cess manganese pOisons many plants
and obstructs their growth. They state
in conclusion their belief that thorough
aeration Of a soil by blowing and cul.
tivation gives better results than can
be obtained by aeratiny or oSidns
the soil by using manganese as a fer
tilizer.
How Indirect Fertilizers Act
The so-called catalytic, or indirect,
ferGlIIzers, they state, are mainly ear
riers Of oxygen and the, problem seems
to be that of aeration. Besides man
ganose, the Italian investigators carried
on experiments with sulphur, pyrites,
gypsum, magnesium salts, nitrate of
lead, and nitrate of uranyl, all of which
substances have been alleged by vari.
Jus authors as apparently having some
influence on the production Of sugar by
crops.
Their belief is that the gains where
made have been simply those due to in
crease in soil 'nitrates, which can be
! accomplished to better purpose by using
heterogeneous fertilizers, or by more thor,
ough cultivation. 80.

ESTIMATE OF FINALS.

Total shipments by the Sugar Fact
ors Company to September 80 amount,
ed to 520,692 tons. The crop thus far
shipped by all agents foots up total
Of o29,220 tons or twelve thousand tons
more than the entire crop Of 1914.
A conservative estimate of the crops
manufactured but not shipped, still to
be manufactured and sugars locally con.
umed may be placed at between q, 700
and $4,000 tons so that the 1918 crop
will probably exceed 65l 900 tons when
all is counted.
