RUBBER PLANTATIONS NEAR HOME, 



A CORRESPONDENT suggests the following: "One les- 

 son of the war that is being thoroughly impressed 

 on the rubber trade is the necessity of having our rubber 

 supply near at home and under our own control. England 

 dominates the rubber plantations in the Far East, which are 

 intended to supply the world with rubber. There is no 

 doubt about the supply, but the great distance, militant 



Europe and Asia and the embargo 

 are very apparent obstacles. \\ hat 



i mIs a producing plantation owned 

 by Americans in Ceylon or the Ma- 

 lay States when in times of war 

 the embargo and contraband list 



prohibit shipping, even under the 



American Hag?" 



The cultivated Hevea Brosiliensis 

 produces under normal conditions, 

 saj . 4 pounds of rubber per year. 

 An acre planted with 100 trees will 

 produce 400 pounds a year, and five 

 acres will produce one ton. The 

 United States consumes about 50.000 

 tons yearly. This can be produced on 

 250,000 .ures with 25.000.000 bearing 



trees 



The shaded portions of the map 

 show where the Hevea is or could 

 be cultivated profitably. The map in- 

 dicates regions along important rivers 

 or near the coast that are easily ac- 

 cessible Millions of acres of good 

 land are thus shown. Vast tracts away 

 from the rivers are also available.
