RUBBER HANDBOOK 19 11. A manual of Rubber Planting companies and Private Estates, details as to the present stage of development. COMPILED BY J. BOS. Rubber Planter and Expert. With Compliments of Messrs. LINTNER & Co. Limited. TYP. LIT. DELI COURANT MEDAN. 10) PREFACE. It is with considerable pleasure, that I send forward this first Rubber Handbook with details of companies and private- estates in the East-Coast of Sumatra (Netherlands-India). I have inserted a table of fluctuations in the price of rubber for the last 5 years, also tables of the relation of the British measures and monetary to the Chief measures and monetary of the Netherlands-India. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining exact particulars regarding some of these concerns, the details in the following pages are not guaranteed but every care has been taken to render them as accurate as possible. Should the particulars of any company have been inad- vertently omitted, the undersigned trust that the same will be brought to his notice, so that they may be included in any future issue. I cannot omit to acknowledge the valuable assistance which Officials and Planters and exclusively O. R. L. J. Magnee Esqre, General Director of the Banking and Ti-ading Corporation Naudin ten Cate & Co. Ltd. Medan and Representative of the Medan — Branche of Messrs LiNTNER & Co. Ltd., have given me, in connection with this edition. J. BOS. MEDAN, January 1911. DELI, ' ( I 1 Tabulated below is a method to see at a glance how many trees are planted per acre and per bouw when only the acreage and distance apart of planting is given. Thus if 18X20 is stated, take a cross reference with the combi- nation of 18 and 20, by which it will be found that the number of trees planted is 121. voooooor^csioo'=*0'*ooO'-it^ § roooNOor^c^vovo^iO'^rococQ lOTtOOiCOOC ir^coocMO'^iO'.-i CO lOOlOONOOC 1— '—' > 00 '-H I lO CM 00 'O O "* 8 <OOnOn( ) 00 r^ lO -^ (TO in r-^'*iO'^^OOOCMvOI>.ONQOOCO CM i-ii>.^oooqi-iooaNCO^m'^-^ CMt-Ht—li—Ii—It—^1-Hf— cMt^T-it^ininoco»-HOoi>-cMCM^ S l>.i-iOO\DiO'Nfir3CVlCS1000l>Oin fOCM^vOOa^-HOCl^-HOOONO 00 O'tONOOC^'OiO^fOCMONQO^O OOCM"—(.—(•rHi—l-.—l-i—I,—li— >.0 CO vo OOCMOOCMiOOO^ CMiO-^OOOt^^iO'^CSlOQOt^^O O O rOCMCMr-li-lT-l—l,-l,-l,-H,-l OCMvOON'^'^OO^HvOOOOt^OO vO ^r^csioo5COi>.voioroooM>.^ COCVlCMCvli—It—It—It—It—IT-Ii—I u rOQCMCOg^cr^'-iO'^iO^D^CMCM lO ^OCT^'*CMOC^OOt^vC)T^.—iOnOOC^ oooqcMCNicMT-iT-ir-i,-i,-<,-i cO'-iONOCMi>."^ocMLn'<^coQor^ QOf-HiOCOCMOONOOr^iCCvlOCOC^ OOrOCQCMCSlCM'—ii—ii—It—!•—I'.— QOlOC^t^O^COO^t->vOt^•^^^n^O 00 T-iiOl-^iOOOCMOOOO^OO'.-iC^QO '^COCMOaCMCOCMi-iT-iT-H,-!-^ COCOCMCJ^O^CM^OO'*-llO•-lO^O (M lQvOOt^lOT^CMT-lO^OO•^C<IOO^ ^rOCOCNICMCMOCICMT-11-ir-i.^rt n-CQOCQ'—i^r^iO'*'.—i|>,^CMO m^corococMoqcMCMCMi-iT-i,-ii=i ovgrQooGOCQQorocMt^T-iLO^o 00 OO'^iQT-iOOO'^OJOl-^r-iOOincYD 00 O 01 CO ^.lO Ot^OCOiOOlOO ,-H.-i,-iT-iT-i,-ir-i,-iCMCMCO00'=* 00 M M The following estimate will be of value in showing the relative activity in Sumatra's East Coast widi which we are concerned : the figures are intended to indicate the ap- proximate acreages under Rubber.
