MISSOULA TESTS
POINT TO STATE
RUBBER INDUSTRY
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS ARE
MADE IN CULTIVATION OF
RUSSIAN DANDELION

Scientists Of the Montana State uni
versity school Of pharmacy point to
successful experiments in the cultiva-
ton Of the Russian dandelion near
Nissoula as indicating the rapid de-
velopment Of a largescale rubber in
dustry in Montana.
Ninety pounds Of dandellon seed
were brought to Missoula from Russia
by airplane several months ago and are
under cultivation at three nurseries in
Montana. The plant, technically known
as 'kok saghyz" is the basis of the
Soviet Unions vast rubber industry.
Tests conducted in the university
laboratories showed that the roots Of
the dandelion contain percent of rub
Der after 80 days OF growth. Fully de-
veloped roots weigh nearly a pound
and an acre may yield between 2 and
q tons of root, from which $50 to 200
pounds of raw rubber may be eX-
tracted. the laboratory reported.
Experimental paintings of the dan
delion have been made at three points
in the state. Thirty acres are under
cultivation at target range seven
miles southwest OF Missoula: 20 acres
have been planted at the Savenac
nursery at Haughan, and 10 acres near
Miles City.
Ray Coster, forestry service worker
in charge of the target range planta-
ton, reported 80 pounds of seed have
been collected there to be used for re-
seeding purposes.
Coster said the Russians consider
the ko-saghyz far superior to guayule
for production OF rubber because its
latex is more readily extracted.
He said that in European parts Of
the Soviet Union up to 5000 pounds of
raw roots have been produced on a
single acre Of fertile land, yielding
from 80 to 60 pounds of rubber.
Sugar and carbohydrates of the root
give alcohol as byproduct.
Coster said methods of cultivation
here differ from Russian tactics prin-
cipaly in that irrigation is necessary
to promote successful growth of the
plant.
Other modern horticultural meth
DDS. combined with irrigation, he
said, have made it possible to bring
the plant to maturity in So days. As
many as 174 flowers have been counted
on one plant, although the average is
80.
A crew Of women employed at the
target range plantation is gathering
flower heads before they are fully
opened, spreading them out on q
screen as they ripen and extracting
the seed.

State Has But FelU
Tires to Turn In

The state will have very few, if any,
tires to turn in Nov. when gasoline
rationing becomes effective, Purchas-
ing Agent ]. E. Henry said.
Henry said the states supply of tires
for its vehicles has been held to- the
minimum for some time, with only
five available for passenger cars and
one spare for trucks, except in the
case of the highway patrol and high
way department., which were permitted
by law to maintain reserve stock of
tires amounting to 10 percent of those
in use. He said he understood the two
departments were to be allowed to
maintain their reserves.
The purchasing agent said no "pool''
of tires for state-owned motor vehicles
was being maintained and that many
passenger cars assigned to depart
ments and institutions were operating
with only four tires each-without
spares.

StOckmen Can Obtain
Vegetable Oil Feed
For Less This Year

Montana rangemen and feeders
may buy cottonseed cake. soybean
meal and other vegetable oil products
at a saving this year as result of a
program being operated by the Com
modify Credit Corp. says E. P. circuit,
extension livestock specialist at Mon
tana State college.
Under this program. circuit said,
bulk soybean meal will be delivered in
carload lots to Bozeman, as an eX-
ample, at s42.S0 per ton f. o. b. cars,
and the pellet form at sl.5O ton
higher. Prices are arrived at as fol-
lows: The meal price is $50 a ton
I. o. b. processing plants and the pellet
form is $3.50. To these prices is added
the freight, which in the case of Boze-
man is sl48O ton. In certain areas
a deductino Of 81 ton may be made
and Montana is in one of these areas.
Freight rates to other points in Mon
tana vary between $11.20 and $1650
a ton. A similar arrangement applies
to cottonseed cake.
In this program the professors will
sell the meal direct to the trade at
the support prices. It is also empha-
sized that these prices are bulk prices
and that bagged meal and cake prices
are higher.
Minimum bulk prices for other vege-
table oil products for livestock feeding
are: Cottonseed cake, $3.50 a ton for
Al percent protein; linseed meal, $50
ton; peanut cake, $3.50 ton for
45-47 percent protein.

numbers of susceptible young men are
brought together, there is likely to be
an increase in certain serious dis
eases, particularly the respiratory
group, such as measles, colds, in
fluenZa, and mumps.
Another gratifying achievement is
the relatively low incidence of the
venereal diseases, which are now less
than at any time since mobilization
The present rate is, in fact, the low
est in the history of the army, which
shows that our soldiers are, in gen
eral, clean living and are being pro-
tected against this menace to troops
Recently there have been a few
cases of jaundice, or inflammation OF
the liver, which are being studied by
leading medical scientists. This mild
outbreak is not dangerous to the gen.
eral public.
An outstanding accomplishment has
been the prevention and control OF
malaria in our army camps. This
disease afflicts millions of our civilian
population every summer and fall
and could cause much trouble in the
armed forces If not effectively con-
trolled
Not only are efficient measures
taken by army sanitary officers against
breeding of Misunderstanding mos
quitoes, but the Medical Department
has an ample supply Of quinine for
the prevention and treatment Of the
chills and fever of malaria
Visitors to army camps in malarious
regions and civilian workers in these
sections must also be protected against
this wasting disease This can be
done by taking six grains of quinine a
day throughout the malarial season If
the disease occurs, it must generally
be treated in adults with twenty grains
of quinine day for from five to
seven days.
Contrasted to conditions in other
wars, even the first World War, the
health of our army was never better.
This fact should be reassuring to all
parents and friends Of the boys in the
service, who are helping to fight the
battle of world freedom.

MEN OUTNUMBER
WOMEN IN STATE
BY ia TO 100
THIS RATIO IS DISCLOSED IN
PUBLICATION BY BUREAU OF
BUSINESS RESEARCH

Men in Montana still outnumber the
women by q ratio Of ia to 100, &C
cording to 6. book now ready for dis
tribution, 'Montana's Production -
published annually by the bureau Of
business research of Montana State
university. The section on population
is a new feature Of this years issue
Of the book.
Though the ratio Of males to females
In Montana has been steadily de-
Ginning since 1910 when there were 152
men for every 100 women, "Montana's
Production" shows that Montana's
population IS still way out ahead Of
the rest Of the United States as far
as percentage Of male citizens goes.
The ratio over the entire country Is
102.5 men to 100 women.
Distributed Over Nation
'Montana's Production" is dis
tributed all over the United States. It
Is a free university service to the
people Of Montana, Roy J. w. Ely, as
sistant professor Of economics and
editor of the book, said. This year
copies will be sent to all members Of
the state legislature, bureaus of bust
ness research throughout the west and
midwest, banking associations, Mon
tanan's Inc, all county extension
agents, educational institutions and
many other organizations.
The book is a statistical summary
Of the states industries, agriculture,
numbering, and finance.
In the agricultural division, the
book shows that 194l was a record
year for the production of mustard
seed. The crop for the past year was
three and half times that of 1898,
the second highest year, and eight and
half times as great as the average
annual production.
Other agricultural products which
show an increase for 1941 are barley,
corn, oats, winter wheat sweet clover
hay, and sheep and lambs. Mon
tana's total income in 1910, according
to the book, was 1925, 10000, of which
agriculture accounted for % percent,
by far the largest of any industry in
the state.
Record Postal Receipts
Interesting to note also, is that gross
postal receipts in ls4l amounted to
0,446, 1913, a record figure. Three
new post offices were added to the
state during 1874.
Liquor sales in 1914 approached
closely the record year Of 1897 Liquor
excise, profits. and one-half of the
liquor licenses in 1910 accounted 70,
about one-third Of the general fund
Of the state.
Dollar value Of retail sales in IS
stores for which statistics could be
compiled increased percent over the
previous year. A sharp reduction II
the number Of registered unemployed
has been made since the middle Oh

YOU CAN STETCH FLAVOR OF
SHORT MEAT RATIONS BY
MAKING A SAVORY
MEAT InAE

| Meat is valuable as a bodybuilding
| food, of course, but so are eggs, milk,
fish and cheese. They are all complete
protein foods and can be substituted
for meat so far as food value goes.
But meat has another very i'm

loaf that slices to perfection, If you
use tapioca as a binder Because it's
tasteless, every bit of meat flavor will
be retained, and because tapioca alb
serbs moisture, you'll be sure of a
tender, juicy meat loaf every time
When you make a big meat loaf,
you're accomplishing an economy of

with an assortment of hot vegetables,
as the dinner mainstay. It's a reliable
treat to have on hand when you come

keep moist and juicy overnight and
are just as tasty served cold as hot.
