Excerpt from Plantation Rubber in Hawaii Company for the above analyses. In reporting on various samples tested by them they have remarked: Nahiku Rubber is almost as good as Ceylon, except that there is some loss in washing. The above rubber compares favorably with Ceylon, being about 5 to 10% poorer in quality. About 10% poorer than Ceylon, as loss in washing is about 2 l-s%' etc. With regard to the rubber cured in light, and in ordinary temperature, their comment was that it could best be classed with guayule. From this it may be concluded that, tapped and collected as above described, and dried in the vacuum dryer, our plantations can turn out a product about 5 to 10% below Ceylon plantation rubber in quality. Even if it were possible to make our Ceara rubber equal to. The Ceylon Para, of which there is some doubt, by keeping the latex clean with the use of cups and spouts, the additional expense would more than offset the dif ference. It is possible also that with better facilities and greater experience we may be able to overcome some of the difference that now exists.
