RUBBER AS SHADE FOR COFFEE

RUBBER GROWING ASSAM

An interesting Account of the growing of rubber traps in Assam has been published by Mr. P. Copeland, Deputy Conservator of Foresis, Darrang Division. The rubber tree in question is the "Ficus slastica, and the information given cannot fail to be of interest in these days of high prices for India rubber. The fig in question does not produce so valuable a latex as the lleven Castillon, but for all that its cultivation is found to be profitable, and it is questionable whether planters in Southern India could not turn to profit the many varieties of Ficus which grow. on their

estales.

The Ficus clastica, in its natural state, starts in the forks of other trees, often 30 feet and more from the ground, and the young plant remains for years an epiphyte, until its aerial roots touch the ground. The methods of germination in vogue in Assam are the same as those practised by planters on Mysore and Coorg with tha Ficus glomerata, Indica, My orensi, etc., which they grow as shade trees for coffee. The seedlings remain for two years in nurseries in Assam and then they are plant- ed out in the forest on, mounds four feet high and then staked. In art'ficial planting the Ficus elastica is found to grow best when treated thus. It can, however, be propagated also from cutting, if ripe young branches or shoots are used, but the trees so raised do not appear to throw out aerial roots to the same extent; and from its aerial system will 'the future yield of rubber he eventually extracted.

In Assam the Ficus elastica is found to grow well anywhere the atmosphere is damp. Tho best natural rubber trees are met with in the forests at the foot of the hills, or lon the hills 'themselves up to an elevation of 2,500 feet Artificially planted trees thrive equally well, on high land or low land, in forest land of grass land, so long as they are planted on a mound, and their roots when the plants are still young are not exposed to the sun. It will thus be seen that the Ficus elasticn is very similar in its habits and predilections to the various kinds of Ficus which are so popular among coffes plantere. Madras Mati;
