There era numerous rubber produc

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

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

cream from a paa e f milk. The latex

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.—
