Oregon Tests Rubber Plants For Field Trials
Federal and state agronomists report progress in assessing rubber content of Guayule and other plants for Oregon conditions. About 260 Guayule plants arrived for Josephine County trials under O K Beals, with more seedlings to follow in Klamath Falls and Willamette Valley areas. Milkweeds show 6 to 10 percent rubber but natural abundance is insufficient for commercial use. Euphorbia lathyrus and other species yield lower percentages, while rabbit sage averages around 2 percent.
