RUBBER CULTIVATION IN

THE FAR EAST.

An Expert's Opinion

Mr Harold Armstrong, who has spont a good many years of his life in Bolivia and is an expert in the Para rubber trude, has recently been touring through the Federated Malay States, Java and Sumatra with an eye to inspecting the rubber plantations in the Far East so as, te judge their future effect upon the rubber market. Interviewed by the Times of Ocylon he told some interest. ing facts which had come under his observs. tion, and which bear cut much that a party of Hongkong gentlemen racently brought away in their minds after a similar trip..

Speaking about his recent tour, Mr Armstrong said he was much impressed with the rapid progress which plantation rubber is making, and particularly with the lowest price, the cost price of the wild article in South America being far higher than it is in these parts. Mr Arm. rong brat, went to the F. M. S. and says he saw "some splendid estates" there. Java was nert visited and then Sdimetra.

The best rubber I saw was in Sumatru". Mr Armstrong declared. Speaking of the

growth for aga, I think some of the estates

ia Sumatra there are the United Serdangs,

for instance-are marvellous. I was

It is almost impossible to get hold of any tos land, partly because it is mostly taken up and partly bounteo the Government resoryes land for the nativesi Although Ishour in Java is at present somewhat casual, owing to its being entirely free,' I should may that the conditions must improve from year to year, owing to the rapid increase of the population.
