"Both being inferior, not growing well here." I am congratulating the rubber acre. acid is used but this is all imported from Japan al tho it could be made of fruit easily in Singapore The rubber companies are now paying enormous dividends. The last dividends as published in the newspapers is 21/6% for one company, 140% for the another with 108% and many more than that. The very lowest is 7 1/2% which I suppose are mere "phantom orchards." One of the passengers Wells a rubber planter has told me that these great dividends are due to the dividends being used for buying new land & planting things making a great increase of rubber acreage.
