Sumatra Needs Tigers
to Save Her Best Trade

Palembang, Sumatra.-The ma
tlves Of Sumatra were greatly
excited when the Dutch COVER.
nor forbade them to kill tigers
under severe penalties. 1t was
hard to convince them Of the
necessity to protect the terrible
man eater. The most important
Industry Of Sumatra is growing
oil palm trees, and 1t was threat
ened by the increase Of wild
boars, which prefer the fruit to
all other food, killing the trees
with their tusks. The more Il.
gers killed the more wild boars
there were. The tiger likes
wild boar meat better than any
other, although 1t kills also cat
tie.
Under such circumstances, the
, government decided to protect
the tiger to save Sumatra's main
industry.
