Will turn his attention to a little
shrub of the southwestern deserts
known as guayule.
For generations, Indian children
have been chewing on guayule to
extract its rubber and make rub.

abs been going on since 1904 and
an estimated 200, 900. OOe pounds
mas been going on since 1904 and
ers..
Three guayule mills in Mexico
operate on wild bushes, gathered
by native labor, but here at Salinas
the situation is being attacked with
scientific, mechanical farming.
The firm that is doing it is Amer
lean Rubber Producers, Inc. a
subsidiary of the big Continental
Rubber company of New York.
American went into action in
the 192O's when rubber was selling
at ~ cents a pound. Prices crashed
to 8 cents a pound, and only grad
ual!y have they climbed back to
around 20 cents , but the company
continued its experiments.
It's Civilized Now
Today, according to DR.. W. B.
McCallum, botanist in charge, qua
yule has been pretty well tanned
and civilized. Its rubber content
has been increased, mechanical
cultivators have been designed to
handle the crop and the milling
operation perfected so that the
final product is identical with the
rubber imported from the tropics.
Guayule does not produce a rub

Today there are about 900 acres
in guayule here, aside from the
nursery where seedlings are grown
for transplanting in the field. The
shrub grows slowly and at matur-
ity is only knee high. Harvested
at the age of four years, it yields
an aveage of 1900 pounds of rub
Der and acre, while plants that
have been left in the ground ten
years have yielded at the rate of
3,400 pounds an acre.

The entire plant is plowed up,

it floats. Cost of the finished pro-
duct locally is given at 16 IL

Farmers Join With Experts

This is the second article in
the Land Use Program series:
Correlation of Land Use Programs
Inevitably, in their terms, some of
the details of One program, when
put into practice, have been found
impractical or in conflict with the
details Of other programs. Dove
failing one program with another so
as to get a logical and workable
whole is a job that can be done
only when farmers join with experts

Goal Of the county land-use plan
ming program is the development OF
active farm committees in every
agricultural county in the United
States. Because conditions affect
ing agriculture don't stop at county
lines, planning must be done, too,
by states; so that land-use planning
committees are forming. state COM
mittees have the job not only OF
stimulating the work of county COM
mittees but also of advising on its
direction and coordination. Just as
weather and water and markets and
prices flow over county lines, so
they move over state lines. To be
sound, state land plans need to be
related to each other and to Federal
programs. Central clearing house
for this is the newly reorganized
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
It is through this bureau that the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
~cooperates with the state agricultural
colleges, and with state and county
governments in the planning job.
Each county committe consists of
at least 10 farm people-men, and
sometimes women. In addition, rep

eral agency in the county which has

BRONCHITIS HITS i
POULTRY FL0CKS
Losses From Disease Have
Dealt Staggering Blow To
Industry In N. c.
BY GENE KNIGHT
Assistant Extension Editor
N. C.. State College

RALEIGH, June 16-R-Losses
from infectious bronchitis have
dealt a staggering blow to the North
Carolina poultry industry this year,
H. c. Gauger, disease specialist
of the N. c. State College poultry
department, said today.
While it is often difficult to de-
termine how infectious bronchitis
enters a poultry flock, the disease
frequently appears in chicks that
have been overheated or chilled.
Crowding, irregular temperature.
and poor nutrition may also be
considered p~redisposing causes.
However, Gauger said, it is .rea-
sonably believed that the wides-
pread occurance Of bronchitis this
season has been due to it's dis
semination through infected hatch
cries. Frequently, during the
peak of the chick-hatching season.,
surplus chicks are placed in chick
batteries in the same room with the
i%ncubators.
Infection in chicks in these bat
teries, Gauger went on, constitutes
a great hazard in that all Of the
chicks exposed to infection and
even the newly Matched chicks still
in incubators may become in
fected. This is because of the Cir
culation of air from the hatchery
room through the incubators.
The seriousness of the disease
is further complicated because
there appears to be no satisfactory
method of control, the state college
specialist explained. At the
present time, scientists know Of
no product that al be placed in
the feed or water or sprayed or
busted on infected chicks that will
halt the disease.
Although no satisfactory medi-
cal control measures have been
developed, certain practices may
be used which will help chicks
to throw off the infection. e
Some of these re-: Checking of
temperature to see that there is
sufficient heat near the heating
unit, being sure that the house
at a distance from the unit is
comparatively cool; plenty of fresh
air but no drafts; cod liver oil
on the grain to increase the vita
min A level; and feeding wet mash
at least twice a day. 2

main stages. Beginning stage is Or
ganization. Before county commit
tees are actually formed, there is
a job to do in just getting acquaint.
ed. County agents and administra.
tors Of Federal action programs meet
with farmers. The talk ranges over
many things: Troubles farmers are
now meeting in their production and
marketing Of products; kinds of in
formation experts have which can be
put to use by farmers; details OF
farm programs as drawn up by Con-
gress and administered by federal
agencies. Farmers who can see be.
yond their own fences learn, through
such talk, to think in terms of group
interests. Out Of conversation grows
the desire to work together in solv-
ing their problems. Out of this desire
energies a county land-use planning
committee. This is the preparatory
stage.
From organization, committees
move into the second stage when
intensive planning is undertaken. In.
tensive planning centers around the
development of as complete a pic.
ture as possible Of existing resources
in the county. Facts are gathered
regarding climate, temperatures, to.
Biography, irrigation, vegetation, pop
ulation, crops, livestock, the number
and sizes Of farms, labor needs

bearing on the natural and human
materials available for producing a
living for people living on the land.
Farmer committees make land use
maps. These maps show land not
now in cultivation which the COM
mittee considers should v be in
cultivation; lands now in cultivation
which should be definitely and per-
manently retired from use; lands
that should be used for this or that
type of commercial crop; lands that
are threatened with erosion and

Proper Sidedressing Of
Corn Highly Important

On May 81, the Star published a
farm story dealing with the side
dressing of corn in which the sub
head read Nitrate of soda should be
applied after corn is about waist

That statement was incorrect in
that article, written by L. G. Willis,
official in charge of the Wilmington
Soil Research Laboratory, said: In

duced to show that nitrate OF soda

the adjustments that are needed in
each area to bring about better land

To this process, farmers contribute

ever has a bearing on the economic
use of a particular county. Admins.
traitors contribute their knowledge Of
the powers and provisions of the
various national farm programs.
Graduating to the third state of
planning, county committees now
scrutinie existing action programs,

by Federal agencies. Balancing these
programs against the needs of the
