Agriculture Experiments
From a Special Correspondent WAU, Nov. 10.
EXPERIMENTS have been made in the * Ramu District with Cinchona seed (quinine) and Jamaica coffee seed with good results. The seeds have germinated and the growth has been promising.
It was the intention of the Agriculture Department to experiment in the cultiva tion of tea, and seed from Fiji was ex pected to offer opportunities to prospec tive tea planters. Unfortunately, the seed that arrived in October was in such poor condition that the Department despaired of any successful results.
It is understood that a further supply will follow shortly.
