Brazil HOPELESSLY OUTDISTANCED As
RUBBER PRODUCER BY PLANTATIONS IN
CEYL0N, JAVA, BURMA AND SINGAPORE
Great Virgin Forests Along Source of Golden Flood of
Other Days Now Grow Than Per Cent Of Worlds
supply-Lvng and Labor Conditions Give East Advant
age and Model Tracts Are Developed

How Brazil possessing in her vast
forests millions of huge rubber trees
of the finest quality growing in rich
luxuriance all ready for the knife Of
the Taper, has been forced by unfav-
orable conditions to permit the crude
rubber supremacy of the world to be
swept from her in decade by the far
east is. one of the big events in mod
ern business history.
That Brazil can do big things in the
most approved fashion needs no proof
beyond her coffee industry, her I'M
disputed supremacy there being due to
scientific methods of the highest Or
der In cacao and cattle raising she
also is demonstrating her capabili-
ties. But in rubber production she
has been hopelessly outdistanced.
About 40 years ago some seeds from
the rubber trees of Brazil were taken
to England and sprouted. Then few
thousand nurslings were transplanted
to Ceylon, Java. Burma and Singapore.
For years little was heard of the en-
terprise and then came the demand
for rubber tires, and with that de-
mand rubber from plantations in the
far east began to trickle into the mar
kets.
LIKE GOLD RUSH
Meanwhile the Amazon rubber dis
trict was going through scenes typi-
cal of a gold mining rush. Fortunes
trocketed to the skies and as the stream
of crude rubber flowed down the river
there flowed back to Manaos Il golden
flood which made the rubber city more
luxurious for its size than Paris and
made Manaos the best diamond mar
ket in the world. Anything that was
expensive could be sold and jewels,
fine silks, good wines and foods costly
furniture and gorgeous carriages found
their way of the great yellow river,
passing for thousand miles only the
walls of jungle that edged the stream.
Manaos and Para became beautiful
cities with splendid buildings. costly
homes and fine streets.
That the position of Brazil, with it's
great virgin forests OF rubber trees,
could ever be assailed was a ridiculous
thought in those days. Even the man
ufacturers of Europe and America did
not take the plantation efforts seri
ously. When plantation rubber began
to appear in the worlds marts it was
taken without enthusiasm and at prices
we'll below those paid for the Brazilian
product.
But by 1910 change came. The
demand for rubber for automobile tires
and for a thousand other uses had be-
come tremendous and Brazil was UNI
able to meet the demand. That was
the plantations opportunity and they
made the best of it. Enormous acre

ages were planted and hundreds OF
millions invested.
BRAZIL FALLS BEHIND

BRAZIL FALLS BEHIND
Today Brazil is far to the rear. The
worlds output of crude rubber for the
current year will probably. reach about
$50, 900 tons. OF this total Brazil will
produce, by the most liberal estimate,
not to exceed $4,000 tons, while from
the far east comes $4,000 tons.
The explanation for the change is
EASILY found. In Brazil the rubber
trees are found in the dense jungles
and the work is done along lines de-
veloped by the Indians and little i'm
proved upon. In the far, east trained
business men and scientists have now
brought their Skill into play. In Brazil
the worker cuts his way through the
jungle to a tree and then to another
and another until he has laid out a
path which he can travel day after
day to tap the trees along the route.
In the far east vast areas are laid out
like great orchards. the weeds are kept
down, every tree is carefully nursed
and the stately plantations are among
the horticultural wonders of the world.
TOO MUCH FEVER
On the Amazon the rubber collector
works on shares with the man who
grub stakes" him. He is not a trained
or careful worker and his biscuits may
include leaves, sticks and dirt, due to
carelessness, and have been known to
include old nails, stones, Jumps of
wood and axe leads, deliberately in
troduced by the worker to make his
rubber weigh more. But plantation
rubber under the supervision of ex-
perts, is placed on the markets in such
form that the manufacturer can send
it direct to his mills so free is it from
impurities.
In Brazil most of the areas richest
in rubber trees are swampy, fever
breeding spots. The rainy season cuts
the working season down to seven
months, but the average working ca
pacity of a collector is only 100 days,
chiefly as the result of sickness. In
many places sickness is the normal
condition. Speaking of one of the
principal areas a Brazilian tropical ex-
pert declared there We're no natives
there, "all children born there die"
In the far east the trees are tapped
all the year round and modern medi-
cine is at hand to fight disease.
Before the days of it's great prosper
ity the Amazon rubber district grew
much of it's own food, but the rubber
boom brought about almost complete
cessation in agriculture and today the
prices paid for necessities is fantastic.
Prices are from double to five times
as high as at Rio Janeiro. The price
to be received for the rubber is to
considerable extent a gamble, depend

PLANNING FOR HUGE
MOTOR TRUCK SHOW
Many New and Instructive Fea-

Big Exhibition of CONNER
cial Vehicles in January.

Hundreds of inquiries about the big
transportation conference to be held
in connection with the national mo-
tor truck show in the Eighth Coast
Artillery armory. New York City, jan
uary $40. have been received by Man
ager s. A. Miles from all parts of the
country, according to the New York

problems and in the motor truck as a
solution of some of the more pressing
of them has become universal lately.
Since the railroad question, fuel short
age and tie-ups of common carriers
because of labor difficulties have
forced upon the public realization of
how vital uninterrupted channels of

CARRYING ESSENTIALS

Broader and more direct opportuni
ties for public service have been af-
forded to the motor truck since the
war In case of labor difficulties On
the common carriers, urban popuia-
tons must depend upon motor trans
portation for the necessities of life.
Analysis of the use of trucks in vari-
Gus industries shows that the major
ity are employed in carrying such es-
sential commodities as food, clorhing,
coal, building material, steel and iron.
According to statistics furnished by
leading truck maker. coal dealers have
invested over $7,o00,00O in trucks; eio-
GERS, $3,40O,000; milk dealers and
creameries, $1,500,00 and lumbermen,
$4,000,0 900.
Motor transportation Is economical
as well as dependable. The greater
rapidity with which the truck can or-
crate, its ability to supply twenty four
hour service and elimination Of the
cost of several landings by doorto-
doot delivery are factors that comn,enl
the use of motor trucks to managers
of leading industries. Economy in dis
lribution is passed on directly 70 the
ultimate consumer in lower cost of
living. The number of trucks in use
has increased from All in 1904 t. 49,
900 at the present time. 1t is esti-
me ted that an average of 4 100000 tons
are hauled daily by motor trucks, With
a saving in transportation costs alone
