Oil From Rubber Plant Seeds.

The vegetable oil used in making pa
per umbrellas in japan is pressed out
of the seeds of the rubber plant. This
oil is made in the various islands IA
nous for oil and seeds from these
plants. Sandy ground is favored for the
cultivation of the plant, and the oil Is
extracted from the seeds by presses.
The yield of seeds is estimated at TWEEN
ty bushels per acre. The annual pro-
duction throughout Japan amounts to
$4,000 bushels. from which over a gal
lon of oil per bushel is extracted. The
oil before it is used is boiled and then
