RUBBER IN HAWAII.
By JARED G. SMITH.


| A comparatively new industry, the
cultivation of rubber producing plants,
ers in all tropical lands. There are
probably more new areas being planted
to rubber than to any other single
crop, and much capital formerly in
vested in coffee. cinchona, tea, cotton
and sugar is being diverted to this new
| industry in the hope that the profile
will be greater than are now derived
from older established enterprises.
For those interested in new rubber
plantations in Hawaii the following
notes in regard to the plants which are
the chief sources of the worlds rubber
supply may be of value. This is main
ly a compilation from the extremely
valuable monograph on the rubber
plants of the world by Peter Reintgen:
die Kautschukpfianzen, Fine Wirths-
chaftsgeographische StudIe," Tropen-
pf1anzer, Vol VI, May, 1905.
In 1900 Africa produced $4,000 tons of
rubber, America 1856 tons, and Asia
and Oceanica 2339 tons, a total of APP
proximately $4,000 tons. The worlds
production was estimated at 53,SS7 tons
in 1902. SIS SOB tons in 1903 and 61,759 tons
in 1904. The average price for Fine
Para in Liverpool has risen from Is
cents per Id. in 1902 to $1.14 in 1904. and
has not been less than sO.75 since 1895.
and has not fallen below $3.50 since
1877. This rise in price has been due
to the greatly increased demand for
rubber in the arts and industries with
ont any corresponding increase in the
source of supply The outlook IS that
the price of rubber will continue to
rise until either the price becomes pro-
hibitive thus curtailing demand; or, an
artificial substitute for this valuable
product is produced alphabetically in
the chemical laboratory; or, until the
worlds cultivated rubber plantations
begin to weld to the full extent of their
capacity.
No extensive new rubber forests are
likely to be discovered. although in |
are almost daily adding /
names to the lists of plants from which |
rubber may be secured. New rubbers |
REQUIRE much experimentation before i
their relative commercial value be-
comes established
Artificial rubbers may resemble the
natural article in some one of its char
but none have this far been
produced which have the requisite
elasticity.
AS to the third solution, while there |
IAN be no doubt that cultivated rub
,er plantations may ultimately sup
liant the product of the wild trees, 1t
will undoubtedly be a matter OF de-
AIDES rather than years before even
,arity between supply and demand is
cached. In the meantime the question
arises. if we are to plant rubber, to
what particular variety shall we pin u
