Under the auspices of the department of botany, Frederic W. Taylor, vice-president of the Am erlcan Rubber Producers cojnpany, will speak Friday evening on Cal-ftornla's unique Industrial enterprise—the commercial production of rubber from the cultivated guayule shrub which is grown ln California.

The commercial production of rubber raised in the United States is nof an assured fact, and the company believes that thia country may be independent of foreign sources of rubber, especially during times of war.
After nearly twenty years of investigation by botanists and chemists, the rubber content of this shrub haa been increased from a small per ccntage to 16 to 20 per cent.
Engineers have been designing new factory and agricultural machinery and agriculturists have been solving problems of cultivation. This cooperation has resulted ln the production of 1.S00 pounds of rubber per acre In four years and production is expected to attain 3,000 pounds in the near future.
