New York. N. Y, June 6.-With S16.-
100000 worth of Brazilian rubber in
their hols three ships came into por.
last week, the last of them yesterday.
Custom house records show that this
is the largest consignment of rubber
ever reaching this city in a single
week All three cargoes were consign-
ed to American manufacturers for i'm
mediate use.
In view of the strenuous effort now
being made by England to wrest from
Brazil it's century old control of the
rubber output of the world. custom Of
ficials regard the size and value of the
shipment as significant.
While comparative newcomer in
the rubber field, England has made
great strides in few years and is now
a potential factor in the world, as a
producer of this now indispensable
staple of commercial life.
Through the enterprise of its depart
ment Of agriculture, England has turn
ed more than 100000 acres of waste
forest land in Ceylon and the Malay
states into rubber producing planta-
lions since 1906.
It's demonstration of the fact now sci
entifically established beyond any
question of doubt, that rubber can be
successfully cultivated outside of Bra

set some of the Oldest traditions of the
worlds rubber industry.
Rubber Grows Wild.
Rubber in Brazil grows wild in the
almost trackless forests and it has
been one of the pet heresies of the
planters there that it could not be rails
ed to a productive state in any other
way or in any other country.
Another of the heresies obtaining

sipated by the English by their expe
rience in East India, Is the notion tina
it takes fifteen years for rubber trees
to attain a state of maturity, suitable

have proved that the trees when grow
on plantations under scientific super
vision reach that stage a the end of tn
fourth or fifth year.
! In the meanwhile they make thei

ground between the growing trees.
