Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. A two year old guayule plantation in the Salinas Valley of California. Guayule plantings will produce an estimated 600 tons of rubber in 1943, provide a crop in 1944 which should yield 33,000 tons and a harvest in 1945 to yield 47,000 tons. An annual production of 70,000 tons to 80,000 tons will materialize if full capacity of nurseries now being built is utilized. Addition: This program is part of the Department of Agriculture's Emergency Rubber Project, administered by the Forest Service under congressional authorization "to make available a source of crude rubber for emergency and defense uses"

Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Irrigating a two year old field of guayule in the Salinas Valley of California. Guayule will grow on dry land in this section, but produces rubber quicker when irrigated. Guayule plantings will produce an estimated 600 tons of rubber in early 1943, provide a crop in 1944 which should yield 33,000 tons and a harvest in 1945 to yield 47,000 tons.
