The capture and occupation of Ger
man East Africa by the British forces
revealed the fact that the Germans had
planted in this colony extensive tracts
of rubber trees of the manihot species.
The manihot rubber tree cannot be ex-
pected to increase IFS yield year after
year. for the bark thickens after tap
ping and the tree ceases to yield after
five years. But it thrives in hot, dry
climates where other kinds cannot live.
At the end Of its productivity it is root
ed out and replaced with young plants,
which begin to yield in about two
years. The species. of rubber trees from
which the great bulk of the worlds
