in general has reduced it to a

that years ago a death occurred
in the house, death that shock

stupor, stupor that caused them
to leave everything as it then
was.
The results were an expensive

In addition to the residence
proper, there are several out
buildings which include tool
shed, barn, and chicken coop, all
now in a state of dilapidation.
Neighbors said that the house
has been sold 20 new owners

to whisper, Don't sell, or touch

grown wild, flowers that once

Another unocCupied home at

on the grounds when this re-

he had been ordered to place the
structure in state of repair.
Behind the building is siX-car

is now in use.
The old-timer informed us that
the materials used in its con-
struction were of the best and
that its outward appearance

turn sugar mills into rubber mills over
night
The victory of kok sagyz over the
other rubber bearing plants tested were
due to a number of advantages. First
and most important, its rubber yield is
good Secondly, where other rubber
bearing plants produced few seeds, re-
quiring a long time 10 accumulate seed
stocks for large scale paintings, kok
sagyz has more than a million seeds to a
pound. A third advantage is its hardi-
hood On the Central Asian slopes
where it grew on windswept heights
more than mile above sea-level it had
developed the capacity to Withstand
frosts and whitening heat and to ride out
winds that snapped the stems Of other
plants A fourth important advantage
of kok sagyz is that it can grow in al
most any soil. We find kok sagyz grow
ing as far north as Archangel, and in
the semi-desert steppes in the south.
Still anbther advantage of kok sagyz is
its relative immunity to insect pests and
plant diseases.
AS the war crisis approached the i'm
portance of rubber was recognized in
the establishment Of a new special COM
missariat devoted in 1941 to extending
rubber production, both synthetic and
natural BY that time kok sagyz had
become an important crop. In 1941, 17O-
600 acres were under kok sagyz and the
plan for 1912 called for a million acres.
In 1941 the average yield per acre was
30 pounds but yields as high as $50
pounds had been obtained As seed
stocks and cultivation methods are i'm
proved, higher figures may be expected.
In the early period of our rubber
crisis it was learned that the Soviet
government had offered to bring in some
Of its synthetic rubber experts to aid in
the American synthetic rubber program.
Soviet authorities have been equally
prompt in offering the fruit Of their
natural rubber researches to friendly
nations. Kok sagyz seed has been sent
by plane to America and Canada, and
to New Zealand Australia, India and
Great Britain In America, the seed
has been distributed mainly in the beet
sugar-growing regions, so that the crop
when grown, can be processed in the
