AMERICAS ONLY RUBBER
PLANT GROWS in TEXAS
Guayule Only Plant OF Its Kind Is
Found In the Big Bend
Country

| Alpine, Texas, Aug. 1.-THE only
rubber producing plant known to
grow uncultivated in North America
is found in the Big Bend country of
both Texas and Mexico, along the
border, and the only factory in the
United States equipped to make rub
Der from the raw latax is in Brewster
county, Texas. A factory was esta-
blished at Marathon about Is years
ago, but for the past several years
has been idle.
The plant from which rubber may
be made Is the Guayule, and grows
abundantly in this section of the
country. Large quantities have been
destroyed by prairie fires and neglect,
but much continues to grow without
attention. Apparently it will thrive in
rocky barren soil where nothing else
will sprout. h
The Guayule has no resemblance to
the rubber trees and plants of tropi-
cal countries. 1t grows in the form of
small bush or shrub and when ma
ture is about four feet high, resemb-
ling slightly the Texas crossword
bush. Its leaves are small, tough
looking, and have slight similarity
to those of other rubber producing
plants.
The milky Juice, known as latax,
from which the rubber is made is In a
layer under the bark or skin of the
shrub, extending from the root to the
topmost branch. The latax Is separate
and distinct from the sap of the
Guayule, which, flows through the
plant.
The method Of extracting the latax
differs from that used in tropical
countries where the trees are tapped
and the juice oozes out
The fluid is pressed from the entire
Guayule plant. ~. .*.e

The theory back of forecasting
Is that two places on the surface

II the forces which cause earth.
Quakes are operating, they may
come closer together. spread far
Their apart, change their relative
attitudes or the line of direction

changes occurs, it shows that the
uneasy earth is slowly moving and
shat strains are being created
which, sooner or later, will cause
a slip.
Fortunately, triangulation and
level surveys Of the greater part
Of the United States were made
many years ago for other purposes.
The whole country was divided by
engineers into triangles. Recently
these lines have been resurveyed
in regions where earthquakes are
likely to occur. and many changes
in distances and direction have
been found.
The scientists have not yet an
nounced where changes have &C.
curred-no need, they say, Of
spreading an alarm before it is
really necessary. But they have
measured the changes and caIcu-
lated their meaning. They know
already, in general terms, where
quakes will occur and about when
they will occur.
