Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Packing guayule seedling as they are dug from the nursery beds. The roots are packed in damp shingle-tow (cedar shavings), in which condition the plants may be shipped for long distances. 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.
