I know this can be dors because I know that the same natural law rules in the jungle that prevail in the United States where I have work ed fo r «0 year*. It is net that man is wiser than nature. Men m erely has the advan tage of knowing what he wants. That rubber tree can be developed that will produce more and better rubber is ns certain as that natural lews op erate everywhere, all the time, in the o f tree, vines and shrubs. Our com mon milkweeds produce a milk al most exactly resembling the latex produced by the various plants from which rubber is obtained, but the milkweed is too small to be e f any commercial use, end the milk con tains but n slight trace o f rubber. It gives, however, n very good ids« o f the appearance o f the rubber-pro ducing tatax, or milk. Most e f the rubber used in America comes from the valley o f the Ama- ton, wild trees burnishing the bulk o f the supply.

W e are now There era numerous rubber produc ing plants in Central A frica, Mexico, the East Indies and even in the southwestern pert o f ths United States where the gaayle shrub grow s spontaneously hi some o f (he semi- arid arena. This shrub is also cul tivated tat California end Northern Mexico fo r the production o f rubber. The rubber produced by the guayale plant is not so good aa the Brasilian rubber, but it is nevertheless suita ble fo r use in various articles. The beet o f a ll rubber, generally known aa Para rubber, comes from the hevea tree which grows wild in Brasil. The usual method o f obtain ing this rubber is by making V-shap ed *Ht* with a sharp instrument along the sides o f the trees, Those elite converge at a point one above an other so that tl^g slowly exuding la tex or milk flows into small cups at tached to the treat. The average yield o f e rubber tree, when thus tap ped, ia about two ounces o f latex a day. one-third the bulk o f which is pure rubber. Curiously enough, i f the latex be permitted to stand, the rub ber arises to its surface as cream does upon a pan o f cow's milk. The average rubber t r * v produces ten pounds o f pure rubber each year. It is net as simple, however, to ga ther the rebher aa H is to skim the cream from a paa e f milk. The latex is collected in buckets and brought into cattp in almost axactly the an cient methods that have always been employed by the Indians. This ia don* by burning certain woods and note that make a smudge. A peddle is dipped into the latex, held over a slow smoking lire, and aa the latex evaporates a thin coating e f rubber is left on the peddle.

It is wholly impossible fo r me to visit the tropics or to leave my home experimenta under any circumstances whatever; but i f I were commission ed to improve the rubber pleat, 1 should first make n very com prehen - ihre search fo r the beet individuel, all-around plant that could he found. From this plant I would raise a I would scientifically test their in dividual capacities, end from one or more— not many— would endeavor to hasten seed-production, so that the next grand step in selection might be available aa soon as peaaible. This pro case would ho repented, again and Again, until the desired re sult was obtained. The seme meth od made the eager beet whet it is. The best sugar beet need to produce only six per cant o f sugar. It now produces from twenty to thirty-six per cent. The rubber trod cannot, perhaps, be improved ee rapidly as the annual beet, or at as little expense, but the result is certain. I f the demand fo r rubber continues to increase, it will very soon be necessary to improve the rubber tree. In n way, H seems strange that so little has yet been done along this line. 80 much attention has beer paid to Improving the quality and decreasing the cost o f every ether part o f the automobile. The best brains obtainable have been employ ed to prodoc* the required quantities o f steel, to design the most efficient motors end to extract more and more o f the valuable elements o f coal, but species.' I t was necessary to make many thousands of selections through a long series o f y ea n to get this won derful tree, which can now be multi plied to any extent desired. A wealthy Japanese silk grower and denier visited me a few year* ago and commissioned me to produce e mulberry tree, the leaves o f which should be e f increased sine. In three y e a n I had a tree beeriag leaves five or six times as large as the la rg est mulberry tree hitherto known. Inasmuch as the silk industry is bas ed upon whet the silkworm can eat from the leaves o f e mulberry tree this wee something like mutliplying by five or six the acreage o f Japan aiid ell other countries that are suit able fo r mulberry tree culture. This w ill be the effect, at say rata, when the new mulberry tree has displaced ell o f the old mulberry trees. Aa necessity compels ua to de so, we shall more and more develop trees, pleats,' yralns and fruits to serve par ticular purposes. W e shall produce, fo r instance, rapidly grow ing treee for conversion into pulp from which paper it made. Printing presses are eating up our forests. It is not like ly that the presses will stop, nor is it more likoly that trees, le ft to them selves, w ill increase the speed o f their growth. But m a^can develop trees suitable fo r paper^meking that will grow to euitabl# six* relatively quickly. Mr. Edison has framed in his office a quotation from somebody to the e f fect that "M an w ill resort to a bn oat any expedient to avoid the pain o f thinking. That is largely true. It may therefore bo a good thing fo r tha world that British interests have monopolised the supplies o f crude rubber end increased prices in a man ner that is more or loss alarming. As a result, tat a few y ea n , we shall probably have better rubber trees, more rubber end better rubber.— Luther Burbank in The Dearborn In dependent Want Ads Owe Cast a Weed FOB S A L E — Some good Shropshire ram lambs eligible fo r registry.
