GreasewOod Shrub Believed

TUCSON, Sept. 1.-THE greaseWood
shrub or "hediondilla' as it is called
by the Mexican people, has possibili- :
ties as commercial rubber pro-
ducer, according to Juan Evaristo.
Anchondo, Mexican consul at Tucson,
who is a druggist and chemist.
The official, who has experim9nted
with the plant, declares it to have
a high gum content, but adds that he
has neither the experience nor ap-
paratus to continue his investigation
to the point where he can tell the
exact amount of rubber which could
be extracted.
"While guayule can, be grown in
limited area only said Anchondo
"the greasewood grows wild over a
large area in the western part of the
United States and in Mexico, I be-
lieve it would be worth while to
investigate it's rubber producing pro-
perties."
Anchondo conducted an investiga-
tion of the possibilities of producing
rubber from the hedicndilll plant
four years ago in conjunction with
Elmer S. Firestone, nrother of Har-
vey W. Firestone of the Firestone
