New Rubber Seeds

Project In Malaya

London, July 5.-An attempt was being made later this year to collect rubber seeds on a large scale in Malaya, the Food Minister, Mr John Strachey, said today. If this was successful, it was hoped this potential source of oil would be used commercially in the future as it had already heen shown that crushing of the seeds presented no major difficulties, he said.

What was his Department doing to use this supply of edible oils and fats, he asked of the Minister. Mr Struchey, in his reply, added Uhat he WVAN
