~ EYLON is capable or yielding
large part of the worlds rubber
supply. The production of rub
Der is proceeding rapidly and in
telligently in all parts of the island,
according to the report of American
Consul-General w. : Michael of CAL
cutta. 1t is the most attractive indus
try on the island and promises the rich
est rewards.
In 1865, when her coffee plantations
went down before a disease that no
one was able to check. Ceylon turned
to rubber. The results surpassed ex-
pectations. Year after year the acre
age assigned to rubber trees increased
until it is now $4,000 or more acres.
In 1900 there were 1850 acres, yielding
1900 pounds Thes sold at 81 per
pound. In 1905 there were 10000 acres
the yield was 10000 pounds, which
were sold for $1.58 per pound The
$4,000 acres of today will doubtless yield
correspondingly larger amount, for
which a correspondingly larger price
will be paid. The Ceylon rubber, large
ly of the Para kind, contains "a to 95
per cent caoutchouc and loses only 1
per cent in washing; hence its high
price.
The rise in price in recent years Of
Para rubber was rather remarkable.
For example, 1t was $1.19~per pound In
1903, SLAP in 1904. The rise In price
In recent years of fine Para rubber and
plantation Para rubber is also worth
noting. For example, fine was s1.16 u
in 1903 and SIPS to s1.2915 in 1906;
plantation Para was $1.19 in 1908 and
SLAB to $1.45 in 1906. AS it costs little
either In care or In coin to cultivate
rubber, Ceylon is taking to 1t kindly.
The island is eminently suited both in
soil and climate to its cultivation. The
yield to each tree Is about two pounds,
and the trees run 120 to $50 to each
acre. thus yielding from $500 to $3.50 an
acre Not only Ceylon, but India, Bur-
ma, Java, Borneo and the Malay penin-
sula are putting in rubber trees when

speech out of a musical instru-

genealogical license by making good
her pledge. Not even the <faintest
