RUBBER PLANTATION IN As
SAM

The constantly increasing industrial
importance of India rubber renders 90
peculiar interest IA. experiments which
have been made by the Assam Forest
Department on the cultivation of the
FiCus elastica. According 20 a cor
respondent OF The Field. the initial
attempts 10 start successful Plantations
ali resulted IN failure. and u vas not
uEtil 1873 that any success was attain
ed. At the outset an attempt was made
to initiate Nature by planting the seeds
in clefts OF trees. In the hope that the
FiCus might. in terminating. become
epiphytic on its host. but failure vas
the result. Planting cuttings vas next
resorted TO, but though these struck
readily the resulting tree vas aimoss
devoid OF aerial roots. which are an
important factor in its after life. In
the end the plan was adopted. and has
succeeded. OF raising the plant from
seed and transplanting Il as It's stage
OF growth requires. Thus. the seed
lirgs. when from two inches to three
inches high. are transplanted to- nur-
sery beds. where they are inserted in
ridges about one foot apart. and re-
main here till height OF twelve inches
Is attained. Each plant IL then trans
ferred to n bed Ave feet square. where
II remains till n height OF from ten
feet to- twelve feet Il reached. Il hav-
ing in the meantime been protected
by fences from injury by animals. At
this stage OF the growth the final trans
plantation Is made. The roots being
cut back to- within eighteen inches Of
the stem. the tree is dug up and trans
ferred to- It's final resting place In the
forest. and when an age OF twenty
years Is attained Il will be ready to
tap. The capital outlay Is not large
but the money expended being locked
up so long is n drawback: skill. the
