respondence which appeared in the
Jamaica Daily Telegraph last Deem
Der and January. 1t is also partly due
to the fact that banana planters be-
lieve that they are receiving too low
a price for their fruit. Besides this,
a good many are almost impatiently
anxious to relieve themselves of the
worry and very hard work and the I'M
certainty of fair profit necessarily at
tending banana planting A good many
have in the last few years been giving
more attention to the production of
cocoa, and now they are at last be-
ginning to believe in rubber.
Not being a banana planter, I had to
look ahead, and six years ago | set out
my first plants of Castilloa elastica
was not the first in the field. Two or
three other planters began before l did,
and they are the only ones who have
trees old enough and big enough to
tap. The growth where soil and shade
conditions are favorable is marvellous.
A large number of nv trees are well
above thirty feet high and are a yard
in girth two feet from the ground. This
girth is increasing at the
rate of at least three int hes annually
What the yield in latex will be | can
not tell, nor even guess. l know that
a slight cut with a penknife causes
latex to flow as if there were pressure
behind, and am therefore not in the
least solicitous as to quantity The
proper time for tapping my trees will
not be before the next or the following
year. Castilloas, it is said, younger
than eight years have a larger ratio
of RESIN in their latex than when over
this age, and this ratio lessons year
by year as the trees grow older, so
that it seems expedient to defer tap
ping.
As the cultivation of rubber is still
in its infancy. little can with certainty
be said as to profits. A friend of mine
who has property in Costa Rica as
sures me that he receives the sum of
SO annually from only five trees. He
has never seen these trees. nor does
he know their age. Probably they were
forest trees when the land was some
years ago cleared for banana planting.
But it is a established fact that
the yield of latex from tree increases
year by year at rate beyond arith-
metical progression, and that the tree
is very long-lived.
[ must say something about possible
storm damage. A hurricane. such as
smote US three years AGO, levels to the
ground every banana within its scope,
making it necessary to clean up and
replant. A castilloa tree can hardly

Ny attention has been called to an
graph of a recent date, and | have
thought that what l might say upon
the same subject would be of interest
to your readers, as coming from 1ub-
Der planter in Jamaica.
Hitherto planters here have been PUT
ting most of their eggs into one basket,
and thinking very little of any other
cultivation than that of bananas. Ba-
nanas begin to give a return after eigh-
teen months; rubber after seven or
eight years There is no banana plant
ing in Ceylon. Hence the enterprising
planters there, not having had the pos
sibility of a quick return for capital
invested, had to look ahead for what
they considered the best thing to put
their money into. They did so years
ago, and found it in rubber.
During the last six years the public
garden here have distributed about 49,,
600 or $4,000 rubber plants to planters.
For next years planting the director
has orders for a quarter of a million
seeds and plants. This seems to be
large number, although it is only suffi-
cient for $500 acres, II planted through
cocoa, and one-half of this acreage if
set out as a plantation of rubber only,
and there are thousands of acres of
land suitable for the cultivation of
rubber to be had at a fair price. This
boom in rubber is to be attributed main
ly, l think, to a lively, interesting cor

be uprooted, as it is very supple. Its
head might be blown off or the tree
broken off twenty feet up. Well, should
this occur, it seems to me that it mi ght
do good by saving one the expense of
pollarding; fort only came to my
knowledge yesterday-a suggestion has
lately been made by one of the author
tiles on rubber cultivation to thumb
nail out the leading shoot of tree
when twelve feet to fifteen feet high,
to make the tree branch and the trunk
develop a larger tapping area than it
would have if the tree we're unchecked
in its upward growth. ] shall make this
experiment. The castilloa is a hardy
tree. Three years ago a sapling was
crushed to the ground by a heavy tree
falling on it. It was bent near the
ground like a golf club, and the bark
was bruised and abrased. We imme-
diately relieved it and kept it upright
for a short time by means of stake.
At the present time the tree is erect,
and has to he closely examined for
signs of having once been injured.
Young trees have to be looked after
and protected from a scale insect and
kept free from vines; and after plant
ing this is all the cultivation necessary
no hoeing, lest surfaceroots be in
jured and the ground exposed to heat,
only handwriting of vines. The scale
insect is the same that attacks orange
trees, and one or two brushings with
a soap emulsion are all that is required
to cleanse the tree. If a young plant,
say, two or, three feet high, has this
scale insect and escapes notice, growth
ceases, and the top shrivels Cut off
the diseased part; then a vigorous shoot
appears and grows apace. ] do not
know any other plant that requires so
little cultivation.
Your correspondent, speaking of the
East, says: ''Quite a number of small
companies have been fioated whose pur-
pose is to root up all the old planta-
lions of tea, cocoa, coffee, etc. and
plant in their place the famous Hevea
brazillensls, or Para ruubber-tree. -
This is not what we are doi.sg in the
West. We are planting through both

INDUCE ,M@IcRATIoN.

II IL noted from almost all the eT-
changes throughout the South that
there 10 a great effort being made to
induce immigration, and yet We are
not maKing an EFFORT here IN this
direction. This should not be; for
with the many great advantages OF
Alachua county there 10 no doubt but
that with the proper effort many set
tiers could be induced TO settle with
~. In the past this county expended
proftably a large sum of money in this
direction, and many people came and
prospered, and had IL not been for the
di'astrous freeze many more would
have come. The State alec expended
much money in this direction, all OF
which was OF great benefit to the State
at large.
Why have these efforts ceased? IL it
because we have q Sufiiciency OF peo'
ple--is il because we do not want set
tlers? Our answer is in the negative
Of any such proposition; but, on the
contrary, We do need settlers, and We
need them badly. Alachua ia a large
and fertile county, and has an area
OF SO6,40O acres Of territory, upon the
greater portion Of which, by proper
cultivation, money can be made by the
farmer. The county has ample rail-
road facilities, the soil IL diversified
and fertile, and leaving out all the
advantages OF raising citrus fruiIs,
there are ~ many other products in
the way OF annual crops which pay
and pay we'll, that We think that
with a proper showing Of our advan-
taRes that the class Of immigration
most to be desired will he easily IL
duced to come here and live
We would suggest, as this county
il today in n better financial condi-
tion than il has been for many years,
that OF the surplus accumulation Of
means. that some OF this should bp
expended in the proper showing OF the
Of the county. Let ~
have an immigration company who
shall take up the matter Of proper
nd vertisemtnt ~ the resources OF the
county Who will be fret to step out
in the light and assist in this matter?
