they best remember.
They do not always have the
time or opportunity of memo

Quinine

Java, will burn the quinine for
ests is also unwarranted.
There is nearly continuous
rain in that region: to burn
them would be impossible.
And since there are $4,000
acres or more of these forests,
TO cut them down is qually inn
possible in any short time.
THE Dutch botanists have de-
l. veloped one of the most highly
specialized agricultural projects
on earth in their cinchona plan
tations.
They have bred and cultivated
their trees so that they get 8 TO
10 per cent quinine out of the
bark, whereas the British in
India get only 2 per cent and
the Central American bark
yields even less.
This farming takes long-range
planning.
The crop natures only once in
IS years, and after the tree is
stripped ii is afterwards useless.
So every year one forest must
be destroyed and a new one
planted.
The seeds of the cinchona tree
are so small that il takes about
10000 to make a gram.
The Dutch have taught Java
nese girls to distinguish the
seeds with embryos.
They sit at table. the top Of
which is ground glass. illumi-
mated from below, and brush the
little seeds into a pile with a
feather. separating them from
the useless ones.
