interest-practically or otherwise-inthe rubber industry wants to know whether this promised immense increase in production will not swamp the market, and lead to such a slump in the price as was witnessed only two years ago, when rubber, as already mentioned, fell to as gd. per lb. Now, assuming that this price were to be touched again, it will be seen from the above tables that the demand for 38,000 tons of Fara rubber must be exhausted before the plantation rubber would be affected.. On this point, it is of interest to see that Mr. B. Carruthers, Director of Agricolture and Gov. ernment Botanist of the Federated Malay States, asserts that in his opinion the possi bility of over-production is only a bogey, and one which a careful examination of the figures of increase fu rubber consumption and acreages planted will at once dissipato,, fa” his pra-
