more.
 The oldest planting of rubber on the plantation was made In the shade, as at that time it was thought necessary to protect lhe young plants from the excess sive heat of the sun. The plant ing consisted of only few thnus- ands plants as an experiment, but it has been discovered that the shade is unnecessary, and it is gradually being removed.
 There are several thousand 20- year-old trees planted by the orig inal owner, which now form a l'ea utifuf forest, with an absolutely clean "fDor," containing number less seedlings. The average yield of these trees is one pound at tapping, but some have yielded as high as two pounds eleven ounces of dry rubber per tree, which Is considered an excellent showing.
 PLANTING AND CULTIvATING.
 The land is divided into blocks or areas of about of about JAS feet on each side, containing about 304 acres per area, which will hold bout 300 trees to the acre, accord ing to the company's scheme of development. The avenues bet ween these areas are about twenty.four feet in width, thereby giving good access to all parts of the plantation.
 The ground is not prepared, as in other parts of the isIhmus of Tehua ntepec, by stalking, but is made into small hills, 6 feet apart, as soon as possible after burning off the waste and undergrowth, lines being run every 12 feet, there by giving plant 6 by l2 feet. The making of these hills is commenced about two weeks before planting time, to allow the decaying soil to assimilate, this plan being rendered necessary by a subatratum of vol canic ash which fell all over the district in 1902, during the eruption of Santa Maria volcano in Guate- mala. This ash is from two to four inches in depth, of an almost i'm. permeable consistency, hindering the sprouting of the seed, If left in the natural state. The object in making double the number of hi lls in each row is to allow a greater selection of plants, the procedure being to put about ten seeds in each hill, at three months cutting out all but two, and at one and one half years cutting out one from each hill, leaving then 800 trees per acre. Two years later one half can be cut, leaving 400, but it is con sidered a better plan to leave the 800 until they reach the tappable age and then tap them heavilyand cut them down, experience proving that they will almost pay for the original plant. The soil in this district can carry the above num- Der of trees per acre because of depth and richness.
 Large record plantings have been made here, as many as 3,6O0 acres having been cleared and planted in one season; counting 300 trees to the acre, this gives total of 1,0S0,000 trees per season.
 The selection of seed has been made a special study, heavy, large seed being planted, the result show inc that the three and and four

Chiapas appear to be especially adapted, as 1t Is in this stale that some of the largest rubber planta- lions in the world are located. From rapachula to the Gu,tem4- Ian border the country is about the same in the general appearance, except for the occasional mangrove swamps and lesser timbered spaces.
 Chiapas now holds the suprem- acy in rubber planting, having d larger acreage under cultivation than all of the rubber districts in Mexico. The first rubber planting in Mexico was of the castilloa variety, along the Suchiate river, which for some distance from its outlet into the Pacific forms the boundary of the state of Chlapas and Guatemala. The most i'm portant planting districts in the state are SOconusco and Palenque, followed by Pichucalco and Tonala The largest extent of land, from Santa Rosa, twelve miles south of Tonala, is low, exceedingly damp, and covered with tall and prolific grass from the Pacific ocean for several miles inland, until the sta. tion of Pij japan is reached.
 In the department of Soconusco, El Suchiate plantation, stabli+hed on the alluvial lands bordering the international river Suchiate, stands as a record of the first planting of rubber in Mexico. This plantation was established by Don Matias Romero before he became minister from Mexico at Washington. Ex. hauslive trials and demonstrations in rubber culture on this estate were rewarded with noteworthy and encouraging results.
 In its present state the planta- ! ton covers 15000 acres. While a number of old trees are found, a new planting has been set out, con- sisting of 100000 trees of one to four years of age. The trees are planted after the hilhng system, about 12 feet by 9 feet apart. Wild rubber trees on the estate yielded l2O00 pounds of rubber in 1909 The plantation is located fifteen miles from the station of Marisca on the Pan.A merican railway, and is connected by telephone with TapaChula.
 LA ZACUALPA PLANTATION.
 Of the many other rubber plant ations in the department of SocO- nusco, that known as the combined companies under the head of Li Zacualpa, is taken as Illustrative more or less, Of all, and gives the necessary information concerning the industry-soil, climate, plant ing, gathering, etc.
 In the department of Soconusco, at an elevation of from 50 to $50 feet, is located the plantation La Zacualpa. The z4cualpa company was organized in 1899, with head quarters in San Francisco, Cal. This company controls seven other companies organized since that date, the whole forming the largest rubber plantation in the world, embracing a section of more than twenty.nine square miles. The planted area on the united planta- tions is $500 acres on dark, sandy loam, on level land, and $500 oorao on hooyiar sOils of fartilo
