Plan to grow guayule rubber at home urged by O Neill
Harold H Burton and Don Harter back a fasttracked program to train farmers in California New Mexico Arizona and Texas in guayule cultivation and rubber extraction. They propose pilot plant sites with 8000 plants per acre, five year cycles, and establishing extraction facilities near Salinas with open imports from Mexico to boost supply and stabilize prices. The plan emphasizes low cost, rapid production and no large appropriation, citing a Salinas plant built for 250000 could be duplicated for half that amount.
