Growing Rubber in Florida.

A Jacksonville, Fla, paper has lately
been giving a good deal Of attention to
the project of rubber planting in south
ern Florida. In some Of the voluminous
correspondence sent TO the paper, the
point is taken that the cultivation of
India-rubber hinges largely upon the
same point as that on which the grow
ing of orange trees depends, that is the
location of the so called frost line. The
rubber tree will stand relatively as much
frost as the orange tree. 1t has done
very we'll in Mexico as far north as Tux
pSn and Tampico 1t also las this al
vantage over the orange tree that it
Will thrive in low swampy soils where
frosts are slow TO penetrate and where
the orange cannot live. Another thing
IS noted and that is wherever the alli-
gator is found the rubber tree generally
f1ourishes A species of rubber tree is
said to grow wild to limited extent in
the vicinity Of Sarasota Bay, and midi
vidual trees have attained quite large
growth on the Keys. The best territory

Der cultivation is little further south

spread in a similar way; all the grain
and grasses have the same habit, and
depend for their rapid and dense growth
upon the moisture and the ample food
thus within reach of the close network
of roots, in some extending for eight
feet on each side of the main stem.
Without going any further in this de-
scription we may pause right here to
study the lesson this gives US so plainly
as far as it goes.
Many things depend on this habit of
plants in regard to their root growth. If
the plant is to find it's best feeding
ground in the first three OR four or six
inches of the soil, it is there precisely
that the food contributed to crops of this
kind should be concentrated. This fact
relates most closely to the manner of
blowing and fertillzing. In the blowing
the land should be turned so that the
food in the soil, whether it be from the
sod turned under or the manure in it,
may lie all the way from the surface
down to the bottom of the furrow, and
so that the first struggling rootlet may
find it's food right in its way, and derive
ample nourishment without waiting for
ii and getting weak for want Of it. So, too,
the cultivation should be shallow, merely
stirring the thin surface layer Of soil and
keeping it absorbent and opened to the
bencfccnt influences Of the life-giving
atmosphere. Deeper cultivation we may
be sure and certain will be injurious, as
it will destroy this mat Of roots so close
to the surface and thus cut off the sup
ply Of food for the crop, by closing the
feeding mouths of the plant, and check
ing the growth at the very time it needs
to be supported, and this in the most in
furious manner.
So with the fertlizing Of the crop
We must put the food Tor it ust where
the roots will most easily and surely
reach it. And it is not in the hill that
this is to be done, but broad casted over the
surface and on it, so that even summer
nights dew will dissolve it and carry 1t
down to these feeding roots, every one
of whose minute and invisible threads
root hairs as we have said-are suck
ing in the nutriment dissolved in the
moisture of the SOIL and by unaccount-
able millions of invisible mouths are
gathering food for the plants. And the
more by this surface cultivation we may
secure this end we help the crop forward,
Fastening it's m aturity and adding to the
product of it.-Henry Stewart in New
York Times.

Most of the rubber producers require a
moist, steamy, warm situation where
the soil is rich or loamy. A gentleman
who is now at Florida Keys looking into
the question of rubber planting said in
chat with a reporter:
''The land of South America is similar
to that which 1 have seen here. 1 find
that all along the coast line canal the
lands are especially adapted to the
growth Of rubber, and the farther south
come the more favorable seems to be
the condition. The climate is not too
cold. If planted in swampy soil, q
few hours of such cold as is experienced
in the north would have no effect upon
the tree, as 1t is protected by heavy
bark and the warm steamy water on the
low lands. The rubber, unlike the pine
apple, the orange, and other tender
fruit trees, is not cultivate d for it's fruit,
neither is any tender bloom to be pro-
Jected from the cold winds That
which is so valuable TO the commercial
world is the sap or milk beneath the
bark"
Have you found any of the Para
trees growing IN this state - was asked
81 do not believe that genuine Para
ru bier tree is to be found here. Several
varieties of the rubber grow along the
east coast and also in the southern part
Of the state. I have seen nearly every
kind grown, but have found nothing
similar to .the Para except a small tree
on the property Of Com modore Ralph
Monroe. This tree is not the genuine
rubber tree, but is more like it than any
have seen here"
"Do any of the trees that are found
here resemble in any way the Para?'
eyes, they do. The sap of these trees
has little resemblance to that of the
Para, but their appearance is different. ("
The speaker had also an idea that the
milk of the rubber species found along
the East Coast is destined to become of
great commercial use. He will gather
large quantity of this for the purpose
of having 1t analysed.
Conspicuous among the large mum Der
of trees Of this variety is the banyan,
which derives it's name from the species
grown in the Persian Gulf The sap of
the Banyan makes a splendid mucilage
in lis crude state, and was also put to
other use by the early settlers and Sem
mole Indians.
The genuine banyan is the Fjcus In
deus, and is tree that easily propa-
gates itself from the seed, and lives for
centuries, attaining enormous size. 1t
produces white glutinous sap that is
used in making bird lime, and in some
places IS considered panacea for tooth
ache. The gum has been submitted to
rubber experts but seemed to be of no
especial value for manufacturing pur-
poses.
In this connection an extract from
letter written by the Chief Clerk of the
Department of Agriculture at Washing
ton may be Of interest. He writes:
'There is no record of the department.

part of the plant against the pressure of
the winds, and thus at the very first we
are brought to the important consider
alton that, as the roots grow, they lose
their first function of feeders of the
plant, and become merely the supports
of it. Thus it is that as the plant grows
and the roots spread. the extreme ends
of the uncountabe branches of the root
alone gather food; the rest Of it becoming
woody matter, in which there are no
more absorptive cells.
These extreme ends of the roots are
furnished with many very slender hairs
root hairs, they are calle6--which are
the absorptive organs, and take in the
dissolved food with the water of the soil.
And just here it may be said that no
food of any kind and no water are ever
taken into the plant, except the at
mosphere, by the leaves, the roots do
ing the whole of this, their exclusive
business.
Roots vary in form greatly. There
are the so-called taproots which succeed
the first growth which is sent forth
from the seed from the lower end of the
embryo. This in some plants remains
an active root as long as the plant con-
tinues to live, as we see in the carrot or
parsnip, and in the dock or other COM
mon weeds, which are thus so difficult
of eradication-this word meaning SIM
ply getting rid Of the root. In other
plants the taproot becomes woody, and
organ, it is only a means for the support
of 1the plant, but still retaining it's
ability to send through it's woody cells
the sap taken in by the actual feeding
roots.
Sometimes this taproot descends to
considerable depth in the soil, still send
ing down feeding roots: such plants as
have these deep-rooted taproots gather
the chief part of their subsistence from
the subsoil, and for these 1t is evident
there must be deep cultivation, and as
deep cfertilizing of the soil. Almost
every plant has these deep roots, but
only comparatively few depend upon
them for support. The wild carrot is
one of this minority, and some others
which are easily destroyed by the cut
ting of the taproot.
But the majority of plants are fur
nished with a very diffuse set of surface
roots, by which they absorb the food
from the soil. The corn plant, for in
stance, is extremely we'll supplied in this
way, as might be easily thought from
it's amazing growth and prolifcacy. The
taproot of the corn plant is one sample
of that of many others which send their
feeding roots far down into the subsoil,
where they find the abundance of food
and water they require for their profuse
and rapid growth.
But, in addition to these deep-growing
roots, there is very extensive system OF
surface roots spreading in all directions
from the plant, from the surface down a
few inches. This system of roots is
mostly found in such plants as grow in
warm climates, where the soil is warmed
by the suns ardent rays. Taking the
corn as an example, we find the roots thus
spreading in dense, tangled mat, quite
