The Culture of India Rubber

The cultivation of rubber is a compare
lively new industry. The reason for this
is self-evident EacE new day brings
new uses for rubber. It Is but few
years since the rubber tire was invented
and to-day more vehicles use rubber tires
than iron.
Furthermore, each day brings greater
demand for old uses. This increase
alone would produce demand which all
known sources could hardly supply, but
added to this is the shortage caused by
the natives wantonly destroying the wild
rubber trees. With savage want OF
reason the native has killed the tree,
which otherwise might yield him an an
nual income during his entire life, in or
der to get few pounds more rubber at
that flow. Governments have laid heavy
penalties on this destruction. but to no
use. -...
The result of all this is that the cul-
tivation of rubber to-day is probably the
most remunerative industry in the whole
world Great hnanciers like Coils P.
Huntington have repeatedly said that If
they had their lives to live over again
they would spend their time on Mex
lean plantation raising rubber.
We have studied Mexican conditions
carefully, watched the methods of other
planters and become convinced that the
only way to make great success OF the
plantation business is to run 1t on Dig
scale We own over 1000 acres of the
best land in Mexico, in the state of Ia
basco. A portion Of this plantation is
already under cultivation and paying good
dividends. The plantation houses are in
good condition and a fair amount of ma
chinery is already on the ground. We
intend greatly to increase these profits
from other crops, such as sugar, by put
ting in the most improved machinery at
very great expense. We shall also go
into the cattle business to a considerable
extent, as there is an excellent local mar
ket in Mexico for beef at high prices,
and large and comparatively quick returns
can be derived from this business. Many
tropical crops yield almost as great re-
turns as rubber. and it is the intention
Of this company to develop an all-around
tropical plantation. If you are looking
for sound business investment, this Will
interest you. 1t has nothing to offer the
