Wartime Canada urges horsehair milkweed and gardens for war effort
Farmers should save horsehair for army needs and sell to dealers as demand rises. Milkweed gum from rural Ontario and Quebec shows promise for blending with synthetic rubber. The National Research Council oversees processing, with hope for large scale viability. Rationing and farm machinery access remain tight as wartime production targets push 1944 gardens to outpace 1943, while polymer rubber output from Crown agency Polymer Corporation grows to meet military needs.
