rransplanted Rubber Trees Thrive.

live
Experiments covering a number of
years in transplanting rubber trees
from the original stock seem now to
have justified the efforts Of the grow
ers. Tie former supply came almost
entirely from the district bordering
the Amazon and it's feeders. but In
recent years transplanting has been
practiced on a rather large scale, the
original stock having been taken
from the old rubber districts and
cultivated in portions of Brazil remote
from the big river. One company,
during, the last year, gathered 1880
pounds of rubber, compared with
A1.9S3 pounds in 1910. The estimate
for the CURRENT year is $4,000 pounds,
all of which comes from the interior,
far from the Amazon.-Popular Me-
chanics.
