Cook, rubber expert of the Agri- culture Department, believes rubber can be successfully grown in the United States. “The American rubber deficiency Reed not be permanent, since rub- ber i a plant product, and many plants that produce rubber can be grown in the United States,” Cook said. “Mechanical and chemical meth- oda of extracting the rubber prob- ably must be used if the production of rubber is to become a practical possibility in the United States.

A mechanical process has been developed and applied success- fully to the extraction of rubber from the guayule shrub, a desert plant which grows wild in northern Mexico. “In addition to guayule, there are hundreds of other species of trees, shrubs, vines.'and smaller herbac- edus plants that contain rubber, many of which are known already to grow under our condition, though enly a small proportion of the eligible species have been tested. Some are tropical plants that probably would be confined to southern Florida, while others are natives of dry regions like the southwestern states.” Cook pointed out that the Assam | rubber tree, a native of northern India, is well known in household cultivation in the form of cuttings | known as rubber plants. Two | species of rubber vines from Made.- | gascar are being planted in many localities as ornamentals because of their handsome foliage and flowers. Experiments Under Way “Experiments are also being made with native rubber-bearing plants of the hot desert districts of southern California and Arizona. The most promising species is one of the desert milkweeds with tap- ering, slender stems, growing in | clumps like large bunch grass. | Methods of cultivating this plant | are being worked out, and it could be grown in large quantities in the extracting and utilizing the rubber | were developed. “Many hardy temperate-region plants also contain rubber and might be grown over a large part of the United States If the quantity and quality of rubber were suffi- clent and practicable methods of extraction were developed. “One of the hardy forms is a tree from the northwestern Provinces of China that ripens seeds at Washing- | ton and grows as far north as| Massachusetts.” Hardware City Band Gives Concert Sunday | The Hardware City band will give its first concert at Walnut Hill park on Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.

Smith expressed the view | that “some immiediate relief wonld come from an amendment to the Volstead law.” which could permit | each state to fix ifs own standard | of alcoholic coatent. “subject al- | ways to the proviso that that| standard could not exceed the max- imum fixed by congress.

When I stated that the saloon ‘is and ought to be a detunct institution in this coun- try.’ I meant it. 1 mean it today. I will never advocate or approve any law which directly or indirectly permits the return of the saloon. Declaring that he believed the solution he proposes would be that “which would today he offered by Jefferson, or Jackson, or Cleveland, * Gov. Smith pointed out | that “the platform of my party is silent upon any question of change of the law.” “I personally believe there should be change,” he added. “and T shall advise the congress in accordance to my constitutional duty of what- ever changes 1 derm ‘necessary or expedient.’ It will then be for the people and the representatives in the national and state legislatures to determine whether these changes should be made.” The Farm Problem Turning to the farm problem, the Democratic standard bearer an- nounced that he proposed “to sub- stitute action for inaction und triendliness for hostility” in dealing with the question. Recalling that President Coolidge twice vetoed the McNary-Haugen bill passed by a Republican c#a- gress, Smith said that “whether the veto of that specific measure was right or wrong, it is undisputeq that no adequate substitute was ever recommended to the congress | by the president «nd thta no con- structive plan of relief was ever formulated by any leader of the Republican party.” Emphasizing the need for cooper- ative, coordinated marketing and warehousing of surplus farm pro- ducts, the nominee expressed the view that the Democratic platform “points the way to make the tariff effective for crops of which we produce a surplu “Only the mechanics remain to be devised,” said Smith, reaffirming an intention of seeking the aid of farmers, economists, and leaders in finance and business in the work- | ing out of an ‘economically sound” solution of the problem of handling crop surpluses, At the outset of his speech, the Democrat| candidate attackea prosperity claims, declaring that “the Republican party builds its case on a myth." “The claim of governmental econoniy is as baseless as the claims that general prosperity exists.” he added, “and that it can exist only | under Republican administration."” Gov. Smith assailed the Repu- idge's record.” I believe the American people desire to assume their full shave of responsibility for the administra- tion of a world of Which they are a part, without political alliance with any forcign nation,” said the nom- inee. “I pledge myself to a resump- tion of a real endeavor to meoke cutlawry of war effective by remov- ing its causes and to substitute the methods of conciliation, conference, arbitration and judicial determina- tion.” In his discussion of transporta- tion, the mominee said fhat in- creased railroad and terminal ef- ficieney in the handling of neces- sities, improvement of highways for short haul. of small bulk commodi- ties, and development of inland wa- terways would aid in bringing down living costs. He recalled that as governor of New York he had expressed a pre- ference for the so-called all-Amer- ican waterway route through that state in preference to the St Law- rence project from the Great Lakes to the sea. Reports favoring both routes have been challenged, he said, adding that he would consid- er it his duty as president to re- study the question “impartially.” Touching on Mississippi flood re- lief. the nominee expressed the view that the amount appropriated for this work by congress was “too | small to make even a start.” “An ounce of prevention,” he cbserved, “is worth a pound of first aid and relief.” The governor referred to the pro- posed development of the (olorado river which been a subject of controversy, revolving around the Boulder Dam bill, in the river bas- in and in Congress for scverm years, declaring “I am of the opinion that the best results would tlow from the setting up of a Colorado river au- thority, representative equally of all the states concerned. The devel- opment should be by the states tlirough the agency of this author- ity by treaty ratified by congress.” As for Muscle Shoals the nominee said that while retaining govern- ment ownership and control he would seck to have it operated so that the original peace-time pur- pose of construction would be achieved He also said that undoubtedly legislation should be framed to meet just causes for complaint in regard to the unwarranted issuance of injunctions in abor disputes, Near the conclusion of his speech, the Democratie nominee made this declaration: “I can with complete honesty make this state- ment that my nomination was brought ahout by no promise given or implied by me or anyone in my behalf.
