In N. Guinea
From Our Own Correspondent.
Madang, June 21.
SOMETHING new for New Guinea, and an industry that should be given every advertisement and encour agement, is the re-opening of Magaria Rubber Estate, in Astrolabe Bay, by Mr.
Vic. Maxwell.
Mr. Maxwell now has the Estate again in production, and is turning out the first New Guinea rubber to be ex ported for many years, and deserves the congratulations of everybody.
This venture will be watched with interest. Already several planters are interested in this crop as a change from copra.
I understand that Mr. Maxwell’s next crop of seed has already been sold to a planter on the Rai Coast for planting.
