Reports On Bud Grafting. The reports received by Mr. Hen- derson indicate that through bad grafting Major Gough has success- fully and consistently made trees yield from 70 to 95 pounds of crude rubber of latex a year, while the average yield is 3 pounds a year. This would indicate a yield of 7,000 pounds to the acre. In a long report on his experiments Major Gough esys in part:

"Look whereever you will, in- digo, ordinary vegetables, what, root crops, all have been improved beyond recognition in comparative- ly few years. Trees and bushes also: cinchona, pears, oranges and other trees have shown that trees also do not differ but can be great-, ly improved..

"It does not need a great effort of imagination to picture a not too distoot future when companies having by degrees planted new areas with over increasingly higher yielding material will be earning with rubber at ød. a pound as high dividenda as they at present enjoy at id. a pound. When that time arrives new uses of rubber will have come to stay. A large consumption rubber for roads, for
