FOREWORD
Using the resources of the libraries listed in "Sources consulted' 1 ,
efforts were taken to make this alphabetical list as complete as
possible. All phases of guayule - the shrub s extraction of rubber
from it, and the manufacture of finished products from this rubber -
are covered .
In the heyday of the wild shrub industry in Mexico } during the first
decade of this century, references of some kind were made in many
issues of the trade journals, especially India Rubber World. Since
many of these were small items, it was decided, with few exceptions,
to exclude thos„ less than a half -page in length.
Only published items arc included and no attempt was made to search
for references to newspaper articles. However, a few rather long,
signed articles came to the attention of the compiler, and have been
included.
For convenience. Department of Agriculture Library call numbers have
been inserted f :>r items available in that Library.
Numerical symbols in the index refer to item numbers.

The purpose of the present paper is to set the matter right, so
far as I now understand it .In the guayule, as in some other
rubber-bearing plants, the rubber occurs in the parenchyma cells
and is thus segregated. In contrast with t his condition is that
in the so-called latex-bearing rubber plants. such as Hevea... in

which the rubber is a constituent .. .of a white or colored milky
fluid, which is stored in tubes from which, when opened, the fluid
flows mori; or less freely. . .This general statement may now be
extended to the gur.yule,f or . . .the fluid here is equally a latex
confined to individual cells."

Includes an historical account , general characteristics, problems

growing in the United' States.
"Mien considering the amount of land available in the United
States on which guayule will grow well, it does not seem an
impossible task, or even an essentially difficult one, to produce
within our own borders 25$ of our normal rubber needs* This would
require, in general terms, 1,000, 000 acres of land, 200,000 of which
would be harvested and replanted each "year » 1. During a period of
about ten years there have been established' and maintained a
series of 53 experimental stations of from one acre to five acres
each, extending from southern Texas across to California ,and up
the coast region and the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys to
Red Bluff. These stations. . .were dispensed with -only after the
final results from each had been obtained. Thus. . .it is known fair-
ly accurately just what guayule will do in the various regions.
The greatest amount of available land is In southern Texas."

''A solution of the important problem of finding a source of

of rubber from the Mexican guayule plant. This undertaking was
begun about eighteen years ago and the experimentation has now
reached the stage where a factory for the commercial extraction

of the rubber from this plant is in sight. The problem of rubber
cultivation in the United States has been studied from various
angles - botanical, chemical, agricultural, mechanical, and economic -

"When guayule rubber is deresinated it is of the same quality
as the lower grades of hevea rubber and can be used inter change-
ably with them... The capital investment for agricultural, equip-
ment , nurseries, buildings, maintenance shops, rubber extraction mills,
and deresinating factories probably would amount to about 20
million dollars for every 100,000 long tons of yearly productive
capacity. "
