Guayule Rubber Could Ease Shortage on Prairies
The Toronto Star Weekly reports that the guayule shrub, grown on Canadian prairies, yields about 23 percent rubber by weight. Mexico already produces over 1,000,000 pounds monthly, with Salinas plants contributing to a projected 1943 yield of 100,000 tons. Guayule rubber costs around 10 cents a pound versus 30 to 60 cents for synthetics, offers similar mileage, and contains more resin for plastics.
