pound on this plantation, and brings
from 0cents to 81 per pound. 1t has been
thoroughly well demonstrated and estab-
lished that the raising of rubber Is az
enormously profitable industry Indeed
1t has been proven to be one of the most
profitable Industries in the world. The
enormous demand for rubber has doubled
in the last six years. This is due to the
bicycle tire, the rubber tires used on
automobiles and carriages and thousands
OF other new articles for electrical aRpli-
ances, ETC., that have recently come into
use.
Destructive methods of tapping have
denuded tropical forests of wild rubber
trees to an amazing extent Plantations
of cultivated rubber trees must supply
the worlds rubber market in the future.

tion to find that an interest in a rubber
plantation, properly managed, Is better
