LINCOLN SINPAY JOI RNAL 8T4H. SEPTKMBEH 6. ABC OF THl RUBBER SITUATION America Hunts a Victory Crop BY ALEXANDER R. GEORGI WriUf.l old crude in small amounts from Latin-Amorlca and Africa will help our new synthetics keep the rubber cupboard from going bare. This shipments are expected to tatal about 35,000 tons 17,000 from Africa, 14,000 tons from Brazil and Peru and 4,000 from Central America, including guayule.

These contributions will amount to only 4 per cent of the United of 800,000 tons. But because crude can be made to go much farther by mixing with scrap and some of the synthetics, it will help a lot as our stockpile of natural rubber grows smaller. OuUook Not Promlalnf. Here is the U.S.A. there are many species of trees, and plants which are sources or sources of natural rubber.

However, plant of the Department of Agriculture say that none of these as yet gives promise of providing large supplies within the next two or three One of the most promising, say the experts, is guayule. Seeds of this slow-growing desert shrub are being planted in the Southwest, but It will take four or more to grow enough to make a substantial contribution to the rubber supply. Congress has authorized the planting of 75,000 acres. At least 600,000 acres would be required, say the specialists, to provide a sixth of the normal needs. Others (tvdied.

Uncle Sam's plant specialists are giving considerable attention to two species of Cryptostegia, a Madagascar rubber vine which has been planted in many parts of Florida for ornamental purposes. Rubber from thesg vines, which are limited to frost-free areas, is of good quality, but the yield runs only from 2 to 3 per cent and no practical method of St. Anthony Church In Diamond Jubilee St. church near West Point will have its diamond jubilee Monday. Solemn high mass will inaugurate the celebration, and Rev.

Considerable publicity has been given to the Russian dandelion, but the Department of Agriculture says the yield of rubber from the plant has been Selected 'foldenrod has given promise of a substantial rubber content, but the say that up to the present the quality has been low.

Satisfactory methods of extraction have not been devised. There are two species of milkweed which could be grown in large quantities in desert areas but again, the rubber yield ha? been very low and no method of utilizing it commercially has been developed. Rabbit Bmeh Too Expensive. The rabbit brush, which in California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, contains appreciable of rubber. Good of It are limited to widely-scattered local areas so collecting and transporting it would require an enormous, and probably uneconomical, expenditure of labor.

At this stage of investigation, the Agriculture specialists believe that the development in tropical America of original No. 1 crude, like the Japs grabbed in the Far the best hope for long-term natural rubber supplies. Steel City On The Volga World Ever since 1589 when a fort was erected there for protection against raiding Kalmucks.

If nazis conquer Stalingrad they will be taking one of most strategic cities. Stalingrad mushroomed into gigantic industrial center as result of first five-year plan. The city of more than 400,000 produces tremendous quantities of tanks and other machines of war. Loss of city would place nazis on Volga river, seriously endangering vital supply route to Moscow and north. 204 Babies Vie For Health Title At Fair There are interesting sidelights to this business of soldiering.

Joe Schmidt of Brandon is one farm fire warden who views the fire fighting program as a success. sure has says Joe as he tells you that there were no fires in his district this year. But it only in the hard- land country that the fire prevention program has caught hold. Up in the sandhill range country, ranchers have feared prairie fires for many, many years and they know from experience the ravages the sandhills have been particularly active in spepeding up their control measures. The Forest Service at Halsey and Gus Hokanson, county extension agent in that district, have helped push the speeded up protection.

Ranch fire wardens have been appointed for the entire territory. Fred Licking is the in Thomas county, Dave Walker in Hooker county and Sid Manning in Grant county. The first thing these men, and the ranch wardens, did to survey the equipment on hand for fighting fires. They wanted to make sure that every- had a and Cher eduip- outbreaks this year when the grass is so luxuriant and cattle are so valuable. Ronchsn A Ranchers In the Thomas, Hooker and Grant county area in Fire guards have been plowed around much of the area.

Take the case of Earl Triplett, ranch fire farm warden. He organized a group of his neighbors to plow 14 miles of guards recently. One other scheme the ranchers have of controlling fires is the establishment of fire tool houses in the area south of Thedford. Don Smith, forest ranger, helped them get this plan organized. Three different houses are located out on the prairie.

Ranchers contributed funds to stock each house with fire fighting equipment. Roy Lowry, Orville Howell and J. H. Figard headed up this work in their own areas as fire wardens. Equlpmsnt These hou.ses are sealed shut and the seal will be broken in case of fire.

There are six homemade torches, six shovels, matches, 2 gallons of kerosene in each house. The torches, of course, are used for lighting back to check the prairie blaze. Shovels are used for throwing sand and said can knock down ten feet or so of blaze by properly throwing sand on it from the shovels. All of these tools will probably be used this fall to fight fires because the forthcoming months are critical ones. Just the other day, a big fire broke out on a ranch northeast of Thedford.

It was put out by noon and men from Thedford, Halsey and Purdum left the scene thinking It would be watched and not start again. While they were at dinner, the fire broke out and travelled about 4 miles to the northwest. One hundred and fifty men responded to the fire caR with shovels and a few wet sacks Three tractors and plows were trying to head off the head lire which was finally brought under control about 6 It burned off around 4 sections of It is Just such fires that ranch- or get in touch with someone who other purposes.

County Agent Ed Van Boening says it was this realization that country was vulnerable that organizaticm was deemed, necessary and a campaign on this work was started early in the spring. Through the efforts of the Cherry county extension service and the county defense organization a fire control setup was J.

G. Lord, forest ranger of the Niobrara forest reserve, was appointed chief fire warden for the entire county. Precinct wardens were elected by the ranchers themselves. People discovering a fire telephone the local operator has a phone, telling the general location of the fire and in which direction it is burning. The one making the discovery of the fire then goes to the scene and takes available equipment with him.

Meanwhile, the telephone operator puts out an emergency warning and reports ttie fire over the local line and then calls the operator in the direction which the fire is burning who in turn puts out an emergency call. It is this type of organization that is set for what may come this fall. In the hardland area of the state, farm folks are now checking up on defects about their homes and buildings. Just as food Is valuable today in the war effort, so are buildings and equipment. It all adds up to the fact that "careless matches help the Farents.
