FIRST CROP OF RUBBER
GROWN FROM RUSSIAN PLANT
The first crop of rubber grown
in New Jersey has been harvested,
the United States Rubber Company
disclosed this week
The Jersey rubber was derived
from the roots of Koksaghyzn, a
Russian dandeloin, imported from
the Soviet Union and planted ex-
perimentaly under the auspices of
the United States Government
The seeds were planted in all 48
states to determine where the plant
would thrive best. Dr. John Mec-
Gavack, U. 8 Rubber Company
scientist, said the plants had done
“very well” in New Jersey.

in the FOOD FRONT
Long recognized as one of the three essential plant
foods, potash has moved up to the front line in America's
food front. Years of official experimental work have
clearly demonstrated that ample supplies and reserves
of potash must be available in the soil to insure large
yields of good quality crops
Such production is now vitally important to maintain
our armed as well as civilion forces. The American
Potash Industry has been developed. expanded. and is.
now geared to take the place demanded of it by the
