Ng Europeans Register
From Our Own Correspondent.
Rabaul, Jan. 15.
TO date 27,000 cocoa trees have been registered by European planters in the Rabaul and Kokopo areas of New Britain and new applications for registration are still arriving at the Department of Agriculture.
Agricultural Officer, F. Ryan, has been closely supervising native cocoa production and is encouraging the establishment of fermentaries to serve groups of natives rather than that each should try to ferment his own small crop.
The Vunamami area is taking the lead in this direction and al ready cocoa sent South under this brand has earned high praise.
