RUBBER, CEARA.
The following is supplied by kind
ness of Mr.. F. T. P. waterhouse:
25 Acres.-Following the method of
planting at Nahiku, 400 trees would be
planted to the acre, or 1000 trees in
all. One aivantage of close planting
at first is that the trees will not
branch too early. Another and more
important reason is that where the en-
tire ground is cultivated the trees
grow a great deal quicker and better
and as cultivating takes so much labor,
the sooner the trees shade the ground
the less labor is required. AS the trees
get larger the grove can be thinned out
by tapping every other tree to death
and removing them. This is consider
ed practicable with the Ceara variety,
as the commercial value Of the rubber
in young Ceara trees is higher than
from young trees of other species. a
family of five would be able to plant
% acres and take care of the trees,
thoroughly cultivating them, until they
come into bearing. With proper care.
the trees should he large enough to
be tapped after they are three years
old.
Income: % acres with 200 trees to
the acre. or 5000 trees, each at least
twenty inches in circumference. three
feet from the ground, should produce
5000 pounds of dry rubber of value
of s60Go Including scrap. Outside help
will be required to collect the rubber
during the tapping season, which is
usually paid for by the pound.
II the cost should be as much as
that of Wild Para" from the Amazon
region (seventy-ive cents per pound.
the net income 10 the family would be
$3.50 per annum.
