Inventor proposes air dropped seeds to grow rubber and fiber
Lytle S. Adams told the Associated Press that the USDA may plant guayule and yucca seeds by low flying planes to cover 750 million acres in the Southwest. Pelleted seeds would be spread with fertilizer and insect repellant, then grass would follow. The plan aims to boost domestic rubber and fiber as wartime imports falter. Senate action and a $400 million synthetic rubber program were noted as context.
