L1. THE CONS UMPTION OF WOOD.

about 3,000,000 tons, di. trihuted as shown in the following table:

11. 'I.'he 'e estimates are believed to be lowel' than the actuals.
Fu1' example, in BUl'ma, where t h e conditions al'e similar to tho 'e in
thi country, iL is con idel'ed that" one ton of timber is a sufficient
GLumHI.I gl'an t fOl' the l'epa,ir and maintenance of an agricultul'i ,t 's
house." "" It is almost cel'tain that. ome items have beeu ovel'looked
entirely. It will be noticed that the output of timbel' is lower in
, elangol' and hi gher in PahauO' than might have been expected,
the l'eason p1'obably being that a certain amount of timber shown
ag£Linst Pahang is exported to ingapol'e, and that ::L certain amount
imported into Selangor for consumption in that State does not
appear in the e timates at all. The e tim ate of tot~\.l consumption is
probably fair-ly accurate. Additional interest and importance will
perhaps be attached to the figul'es by a study of the following table
comparing the use of wood ill the Federated Malay States and in
certain othel' parts of thA wOl'ld.

The estim ates already given must however be largely
lDcreased in considering the needs of the future. The population is
being swelled by immigration far beyond the natural incl'ease; t h e
output of rubber will probably rise to 250,000 tollS in the next
10 years; the railways will be enormo usly extended witll a more
than proportionate inOl'ease of traffic a,nd fuel consumption; and 11e,\'
industries will cedainly be . tarted, Assuming a continuation of
pre ent methods it therefore eems un afe to allow for an annual
wooel con ump tion of 1 s than 4,000,000 tons. Outside sources
cannot be relied on to maintain the neces ary supplies, which the
following paragraphs will show are already, in the case of one State
at least, beyond Lhe capacity of the nu. uJ'al f01'88liR Jmturally
regenerated to produce.

13. Wood i at pre 'ent obtained from reserved fo rest, State
land, and alienated land, but it may be a serted with confidence that
at no very distant date we ·ball have to rely, except perhaps in
Pahang and Upper Perak, alma t en tirely on t he 1'8 erved forests.
Rural Malays still satisfy their requirements largely from State and
alienated land, but the fOl'est on such land in the prin cipal mining
and rubber-gTowing centre ' of Pera&-, Selangor and Negri Sembilan
have been wallowed up, and repeated applications are being received
for other tate land in the more acce ible localities. Alienated land
with very few except ions i exhau, ted of it · wood within five years
or alienation, or perhaps a little longer in t he ca e of mining land,
but rubber planters state t hat with proper management their
plan tations can be made to supply from tbinnings and from naturally
dead wood all th e domestic requirement · of their labom' force for
fuel in addition to the timber required for 'moking rubber, estimated
to amount in all to two ton per head of the labour force. It should
h owever be stated Lhat .'uch supplies are by no means always avail:l,ble,
and t hat ome planters are already finding difficulty and incuning
h eavy expendit ure in pUI'cbasing fuel for tbeil' ·moke -bouses. Pahang
is more favourably situated tban the other t.ates, aud the Pahang
Con olidated Conces. ion, T.Jimited, has more than enough wood on i
own land to supply it needs till the end of th e
. in 196 ,
LV. D}!;MAND ON THE .FORE T . .FOH. WOOD .
14. Table II gives an estimate of the present demand on the
for wood, after making allowance for supplies available from
alienated If.nd. The following assumptions are made:
(i) that the rural Malay population obtains 70 pel' cent. of
its domestic fuel from alienated land ;
eii ) that rubber plantations will yield 2 ton~ pel' head of the
labour force a very liberal estimate which allows
sufficient fuel both for t he domestic requirements of the
labour force :llld for u e in the rubber factories;
(iii) that Perak, Selangor a.n d Negri Sembilan obtain
5 pel' cent., and t hat Pahang obtains 80 per cent. of
its mining fuel and timber (items 2 and 14 of 'l.'able I)
from alienated land. No estimate can be made of
the amoLlDt of mining t imber included in item 12 of
the table, which is in any case small and is therefore
