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. I

Hoosier Laws Favor
Dobbin Over Motors
Fort Wayne, Ind. 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

Life Begins at 74
Nantucket, Mass. IP At 74, Capt.
Zeouion luton is just beginning to
live.
Six months ago he married his
buxom, 64-year-old sweetheart
whom he had courted 50 years and
took her for a honeymoon on his
schooner which plies between the
islands in Buzzards bay.
Recently he sailed leaving her to
visit with friends on the mainland.
Becoming lonesome, Cap'n Zeb took
his first airplane ride a 10 minute
trio back to shore where he visited
with his wife.

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."
