After many months Of intense in

riculture Department plant special
lists and engineers have about
concluded that there Is no quick,
easy source of natural rubber to re-
place supplies cut off by the war.
Departmental studies have been
directed at such rubber-producing
plants as guayule, cryptostegia, Rus
sian dandelion, goldenrod and rab-
bit brush.
Most promising of these, in the
opinion OF the departments rubber
specialists, is guayule, a slow-grow-
ing shrub native to Mexico and
parts of Texas. Some progress has
been made toward commercial pro-
duction of rubber from this plant
