ISLANDS MAY GROVRUBBER Sugar Barons May Try New Product Mindanao Land Suitable For Cultivation Of Plants By Rif hard t Wilson (UnUl CrM Stall lWrfMfJiW Manila, P. I. Fi Led by Philip pine President Manuel L. Queton, Filipino sugar harons are actively studying the possibilities of drvr lop ing rubber plantations to supplant the sugar industry which faces ruin when the duty-free American market is cut off coincident with Philippine independence in 1946. Quezon, accompanied by a group of wealthy sugar growers, visited vast undeveloped Mindanao island to study plans for establishment of 250, WK acre in rubber plantations. Although the vast rubber produc tion of British Malaya and the Dutch East Indies provides the world an Cver -abundance at present, Kili(-inos believe the United States which Maes nearly 80 per cent of the world's rubber consumption would give preferential treatment to Philippine Rubber, even after the islands acquire independence. Past effort to encourage rubber Production in the Philippines failed largely because bigger profits could be made more easily from sugar cane. A sugar crop could be produced in 12 months, whereas rubber trees do not begin commercial production until they are nearly seven years old and require expert cultivation from the outset. Several isolated experiments have demonstrated that the island of Min danao, situated south of the typhoon belt, is ideally suited for rubber growing. About 15 years ago. Har vey Firestone desired to establish rubber plantations in Mindanao to develop rubber production under the American flag. He was balked, how ever, by Philippine land laws prohib iting acquisition of more than 2500 acres of land by a single person or company. i Quezon plans to have the insular government establish a rubber ex perimental station in Mindanao to provide expert advice to embryo Fili pino rubber growers. He has indi cated one of the large American rub ber manufacturing companies has of fered the services of its experts. Filipino capital now concentrated in sugar would be gradually shifted to the rubber industry with the cooper -ction of the commonwealth govern ment. Quezon also envisions a second rubber growing community in Min danao's fertile Koronadal valley made up of Filipino homesteaders on public lands his administration re cently opened for settlement. A romewhat socialistic experiment, homesteaders in Knronada I va 1 ley receive paternalistic financial aid from the government The experi ment was patterned after the United l tales' resettlement project in Alas ka's Matamuka valley. Assuming a ready market for Phil ippine rubber could be obtained in the United States after independence, economists counseled Filipinos against counting on rubber as a cushion for the economic jolt the is lands face upon liquidation of the sugar industry. The transition from sugar to rubber, k was pointed out, would be slow and costly. - Sugar has long been the No. 1 product of the island. Land devoted to sugar cane totals 635.000 acres. On several islands is constitutes the only produce of any consequence. Begin ning next year, Philippine sugar shipped to the United states must pay an export tax eoual to 5 per cent of the prevailing U. S. duty, under provisions of the Tydings-McDuffie independence act. This tax will in crease 5 per cent annually until in sular independence is granted July 4, 1946, after which Philippine sugar will pay the full U. S. duty. Filipino sugar planters almost unanimously concur in the conclu sion of the joint preparatory com mittee on Philippine affairs that "no appreciable number of Philippine sugar proudcers could reduce their costs of production sufficiently to permit them to pay the full United States duty in 1946." - Rubber trees set out in 1940 would not be ready for commercial produc tion before 1946. Experienced rubber producers said that at best it would be 1950 before the Philippines could anticipate commercially profitable production, granted that a large ; number of trees were set out this ' year.

IPV Indiana's horse enthusiasts gloat over the fact that "Old Dobbin' still commands more respect and consideration on Hoosier highways than the "gasoline buggy." Investigation has revealed that there are several laws on the statute books favoring the horse, which mo torists probably have never read. Not one in a hundred motorists knows that a law states that cars must be brought to a halt when meet ing a horseback rider, or a horse drawn vehicle, or when approaching them from the rear. The law, still in force, provides a penalty of a fine not to exceed 5100 for the first offense. Another ruling that any horse can be proud of is the law which pro vides a greater penalty for stealing a horse than for the theft of an auto mobile. Pound 89c 45c 53c Pound Pail... Pound Glass..

Best Wishes to Piggly Wiggly on Opening Bend's First Super DriveIn Market We Wish You Luck . W. COPELAND YARDS Paris WAR HOLDS WHEAT FUTURE BALANCED German Win Would Mean Loss of Export Regina. Sask. U The whole fu ture of Canada's wheat industry hangs in the balance because of Ger many's drive in Europe. J. G. Tag gart, minister of agriculture fur Sas katchewan, believes. Complete naxi domination of Eu rope if effected, and followed by application of tht German theory of self -sufficiency, might force aban donment of mure than 10.000.000 acres of low grade wheat land through the west to sheep ranching, the minbfter said. t Taggart,' stressed his views were not based on fact, but upon nme of the possible outcomes ol the turo- j pean struggle. ' Canada already has lot potential j export markets lor 35000.000 bushel of wheat on the basts of 1939-1940 export. because of overseas events. In all Europe now. there u juM one market that for Great Britain and i F re which last year drew about 93,- ' 000.000 busneis. Entire reorientation of the dnm- ' inion's wheat industry would be necessary if a complete German vk- j tory were to ensue in Europe. j As far as we are concerned, it would seem to me western Canada would have to abandon something like 10.000.000 acres of our least pro ductive land and probably devote it to sheep ranching." he said. j "The reason 1 suggest this is that wool and mutton are the only impor. i tant livestock products of which there ! is a deficiency in Canada. A de 1 velopment of that kind would mean the depopulation of some areas and . complete readjustment of our local ( government organizations, such as municipalities, schools, road services and telephone companies,' Taggart forecast. If such circumstances were to arise, ; Taggart does not believe production of power alcohol and industrial prod- , ucts from wheat would be feasible.! Large quantities of cheap raw ma- I terials such as potatoes, corn sorghum 1 or sugar were needed tor the pur pose and they could be produced in greater quantity "and greater surety than we can produce wheat here."
