The Eucalyptus [Page 145 - 150]
Abstract:
From time to time a considerable number of leters appear in the local papers commenting on the desirability of planting varieties of the Eucalyptus as suitable roadside trees, and also, on account of their supposed value in purifying localities where severe drought fevers are prevalent. We have received many letters asking for advice on the same subjects, and in order to give a general answer to all such correspondents, I shall endeavour to outline the success which has attended the efforts of this Department, to introduce any of the Eucalyptus family.

A New Coconut Pest [Page 155 - 157]
Abstract:
Yet another pest of the Coconut has been discovered in the Philippines and from all accounts it will prove a serious menace to plantations in the Colony and Federated Malay States unless sufficient precautions are taken immediately. So far, it seems to be restricted to certain areas in the Philippines, and the Department of Agriculture are fully aware of the danger arising from this insect, and we may be sure that they will use every means in their power, to prevent its spreading throughout the Philippines and ultimately to the Straits Settlements. It has been considered advisable to prohibit the importation of palms, etc., from the Philippines. We reprint the description, etc., of this pest as it has appeared in The Philippine Agricultural Review, together with the copy of the ordinance as it appeared in the S. S. Gazette, May 31st, 1912.
