Of Peru The steady barking Of the
trees rendered it scarce. and the price
steadily advanced for number Of years.
About 1870. if we remember rightly,
the experiment of the cultivation of the
cinchona tree was tried. and large or
chards we're set out in Ceylon and In
aia. Those got old enough to begin
barking about 1873, and since that the
production of cultivated bark has siea-
Oily increased. This resulted in driv-
ing down the prize. which is now lower
than ever before. The tariff bad 20
more to do with reducing the price than
it has with the rainfall.
