Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Newly-seeded guayule nursery beds. Guayule seeds are very fine and delicate and cannot be planted as other seeds. A specially constructed machine drops the seeds on a very carefully prepared seedbed and then covers the seed with a band of white sand to prevent the wind from blowing them away. The seedbeds are kept damp by frequent application of the overhead sprinking system until the little plants are up and rooted. Three large nurseries at the new Salinas Valley, California, project established last spring, contain 890 of such beds and produced 310 million plants now being transplanted to about 30,000 acres of field plantations

Dr. E. Francis Warren, of Harvard U., believes he will be able to "shoot down" the heaviest clouds and fog by his new invention demonstrated recently at Bolling Field, Wash., by Army fliers.

The picture shows Lt. W. E. Melville pouring sand into the pit. Directly underneath the wing can be seen a nozzle that sprays the sand through the air
