Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Mechanical seedling digger working in a guayule bed. The digger is a four foot long blade which is drawn through the ground under the plants, cutting the roots loose and uprooting the plants. 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. 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"

Putting fly in ointment of "McNutt-for -president" boom. Washington, D.C., April 21. If he continues the pace he is setting to date, Rep. Albert J. Engel, Republican of Michigan, appears certain to throw the "monkey wrench" into the gears of the "McNutt-for-President" boom which got underway during the past winter. Rep. Engel is pictured studying plans he dug up for the two palaces, "Summer" and "Regular" which as high commissioner of the Philippines, McNutt wants built as Commissioner's residences in islands. The proposed palaces are to cost $500,000 and $250,000 respectively. Rep. Engel takes great pride in pointing out that plans for the palaces include 18 lavatories and bathrooms with a seating capacity of 43, 4/21/38
