THE POISON

In fairness to the overseers. however.
ii must be stated that a more provok-
ing set of operatives than the low caste
native could hardly be imagined. They
will work only when driven TO 1t by
starvation or coerciye measures; they
are careless in the way they do their
work: they spill the precious milk
which will subsequently be coagulated
into the rubber Of commerce: they cash
the trees instead of making the proper
cut which gets the best results. and
they frequently will cut down a whole
tree rather than take the trouble to
cut i. properly.
Indeed, it was not until the poison
penalty was imposed that this telling
of trees could be stopped. Even the
dull brain of the native could make
some connection between the sudden.

COLLECTING THE MILK

After the cupping expedition in the
evening and during certain seasons OF
the year at noon as well q tour Is
made with u large pan or jug OF jar,
into which the milk collected in the
cups is poured. 1t is not an easy job,
like tapping q sugar maple, where n
incision will supply sap for several
days. Owing to the tropical growth
the cut heals rapidly and Is sealed
over in three OF four hours In the
height of the season and in a day in
the most sluggish part of the season.
This means that new cuts and cupping
have to be done each day.
After the milk is collected 1t is car
ried back to the camp and then coag-
ulated on wooden paddles held over
the smoke made by burning the mer-
curry palm nut. A matured tree in the
swamp will give an average of five
gallons of milk during the season,
which will coagulate into FIVE pounds
of raw rubber, valued at $3.50 a pound
in gold.
IL the tree is carefully tapped 1t will
give this yield for forty years without
injury or cost OF cultivation other than
the collecting of the milk. If. how
ever. the machete in the hands of a
careless native or Indian penetrates
the bark. exposing the wood Of the
tree. it speedily dies. A weeyil called
the pumbula enters the wound made
by the machete and eats right into the
heart Of the tree.
The extent of the rubber business is
surprising. Rubber is second only to
coffee and sugar as n tropical product
The United States one-half
OF the total output: the annual impor'
tations from Brazil are worth $4,000
OOo and from Peru s12.000,000.
