. Agricultural news. Agriculture -- West Indies; Plant diseases -- West Indies. 28 THE AGRICULTURAL NEWS. January lo, GLEANINGS. It is stated in The Board of Trade Jnurval that the -exportation of rubber has been prohibited from the Belgian Congo except to English or Freneh ports, or to the port of New York. Special permission must be obtained before consignments of rubber destined for New "N'ork can be exported. The food value of the jack bean {Caii'ivalia ensiffrmis) is dealt with in a note in the Monthly Bulletin of Agricul- tural Intelligence avd Flant Diseases for November 1914. In regard to the wholesomeness of this bean as a foodstuff for animals, it is stated ibat 44tb. of crushed beans were given in a ration in some of Kellner's experiments, wiihout appar- -ently producing any ill eftects. It is stated in the India Rubber Journal for October 23, ;), that the average production of rubber per acre in Malaya and Sumatra considerably exceeds that for Java, Ceylon and other countries. The article which provides this information has been written with a view to forecasting the future production at the present rate of planting. It is stated that many people have exaggerated the high yields to ?be expected. A good method of advertising is adopted by ihe American Genetic Association who have issued large sheets ? of specimen illustrations from the Journal of Heredity^ the publication of that body. All of these illustraiions have appeared some time or other in that journal, and this alone is a sufficient guarantee of their excellence. The above ? constitutes an interesting, striking and legitimate form of ? advertising a good cause. The editorial which we published in this .Journal some months ago on hedges and wind-breaks attracted some consid- able attention, and it'may interest readers to know that in the Rlwdeda Journal for August 191-3, a very useful article appears on the same subject with reference to Itliodesia.
