THE RUBBER SUPPLY.

TIME presence here of Mr.. Pearson, expert in the
| growth and supply of indiarubber, suggests again
that some investigation be made OF the capacity of
California grow of the rubbcrproducing plants
That important commercial article is furnished by
number of and vines widely differing in their
botanical characteristics The rubber from Central
America is furnished by the Castoa easca, related to
the breadfruit and by the Manho connected with
the widely distributed spurge family of plants, is the
Hevea another large rubber producer. The East In
dian rubber is produced by the Fcus eastca related
the fg and that of Africa by plants of the dogbane fam
ily Much rubber is also yielded by sturdy vine that
grows in Central and South America.
in view of the considerable distribution botanicaly of
the rubber yielding plants, it is quite worth while to
test them in California. Spurge is quite
American plant distributed from western deserts
the north Atlantic coast. We have also plants of the
dogbane family and fig is related to the Ficus
eastica. We have done much in proving the hos
pitality of soil and climate exotcs, entirely how
ever in the line of fruit and ornamental that it is
worth while to in rubber If the Agricultural De-
partment Washington would undertake it, in of
its experimental stations this State the result would
be watched with interest Most of the rubber producing
plants of quite rapid growth and of long life The
isothermas of their habitat extend into California and
only experiment prove absolutely that they cannot
be made profitable here.
The industry has the advantage of the absence of dis
and lack of insect enemies of the Mr.. Pear
reports that in the East Indies where the coffee and
tea plantations exterminated by predatory insects
rubber being substituted with success There is
fascination in this quest for plants of economic value
that may be made profitable here 1t has already
brought the whole citrus family and the Greek fig
and the date and about domestcate here the finest
and highest priced date known which will grow on the
Colorado Desert Only trial and experiment have pro-
duced these results. which merely prospectus of
what may be continued by effort and adventure in that
direction.
The Agricultural Department has just decided to es
tabsh experimental station fifty of land near
Chico, and it has other stations Southern California
1t is to be hoped that members of Congress will
urge that rubber plants. especially those of spurge
and hcus families. be experimental with in both loca
ties. Many of land would be glad to expert
ment themselves if the department supply them
with the plants and with such information as it pos
sesses, secure, the methods of growth.

RECTOR OF ST. LUKE'S
Ashburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the
Good Qualities Of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy,

AShburnham, Ont, April Is, 1909
[ think it is only right that l should
tell you what wonderful effect
Chamberlaiu's Cough Remedy has
produced. The day before Easter l
was SO distressed with cold and
cough that did not think to be able
to take any duties the next day, as
my voice was almost choked by the
cough. The same day | received an
order from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy. | at once procured
sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great
relief the cough aud cold had
completely disappeared and l was able
to preach three times on Easter Day.
[ know that this rapid and effective
cure was due to your Cough Remedy.
| make this testimonial without
solicitation, being thankful to have
found such Godsend remedy.
Respectfully yours,
E. A. LANGFELT, NJ. A.

THE EDITORS WIFE
Letter From an Illinois Newspaper Man
that is Well Worth Reading.

AS an usual thing editors save the
good for the columns of their own
newspapers, but the following letter
from S. Fl. Duncan, editor of the Sea-
ton, ILL.,, independents, shows that
there is at least one editor who wants
to help others. He writes as follows:
ITO the editor of the WoOD COUNTY
REPORTER:
| wish you would print the following
and thus help me to do kindness to
your readers. My wife has been a
great sufferer with stomach trouble
for the past four years, and the last
two years practically an invalid.
Nothing seemed to help her until |
procured a box of Mona, natures
cure for dyspepsia. This gave her so
much relief that she continued using
the remedy until now she enjoys her
meals, is relieved from all pain in her
stomach and has increased in flesh.
l hope you will publish this letter,
for | think there is no remedy for
stomach trouble equal to Mi-o-na, and
the more wide spread it's use becomes,
the more good will be done to human
ity.
S. H. DUNCAN,
Editor of Independent"
J. E. Daily has the local agency for
Mi-o-na and his faith in it's merits
equals Editor Duncan'S. They in
fact, offer to pay for Mi-O-na them
selves in any case where it does not
give satisfaction. No stronger ELL
uorsement of the merits of the remedy
can be given than this, that a local
drug firm is willing to sell a medicine
on their own guarantee to refund the
money if it does not cure stomach
troubles and increase flesh.
