Excerpt from The Tropical Agriculturist, 1883, Vol. 2: A Monthly Record of Information for Planters of Coffee, Tea, Cocoa, Cinchona, Rubbers, Sugar, Tobacco, Cardamoms, Palms, Rice, and Other Products Suited for Cultivation in the Tropics, Containing Numbers I to XIINo comment has so far been offered on the letter of a. Matale correspondent who endeavoured to shew, by his rainfall return during several blossoming sea sons and the succeeding crops, that the weather this year could have little to do with the poor prospects for 1882-3. But I have no doubt a good deal could be said by planters of equal experience in other districts, to shew that, however applicable to his own corner, of the land, our Matale friend's inferences could not be drawn from the figures and facts recorded elsewhere.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
