THE MANN Entered at the Postoffice at h Appelt & Sh Published Ei Subscription Rates $2 MANNING, S. C., WEDNE NEW SOURCE Of RUBBER IN ANNUAL CROP IEPOR1 Science Unlocks New Doors Afte1 Years of Experimentation WitI Guayule, a Mexican Plant. New Yor , Dec. 20.-As the pro phets of cvi1 disaster and the fam ine of esstntial things are croak ing it is a eN mfort to come into con tact with rea wisdom. Are our natural resources on the verge of their exhaustion ? The: are not. Especially the motorisi need not fear exhaustion of rub. ber for his tires. Read and learn fron the words of Dr. D. T. Mac. Dougal, one of the world"s mosi distinguished scientists, upon th( subject. Especially this most eminent stu dent in the world of plant life telh me that we need not worry aboul rubber-that product which ti pessimsts have been declaring soor would be so scarce without im mense expenditure the automotivt industry would perish from the earth. That is, we need not worry if we work. "We shall have rubber in sufli cient quantities to meet our needs. lie said, without the slightest hesi tation, "and I believe that in thc days to come our needs will be tell times, a hundred times, as great a! they are now. "If it 'should be decided in th< cities, for examiple, that rubbei pavements for the streets, whicli can be taken up when worn, a blankets might be noved, and re placed by new ones between mid. night and daylight will be wor!ti the effort, I believe that we shall find the rubber out of which tc make them. "And such is my instructed faith in nature that I feel sure that rea. sonable wisdom will supply oui other future needs as generously." It is to rubber and its productioi from plants other than the gener ally known caoutchouc that Prof. MacDougal has been giving his at tention recently under the entitrly non-conImercial auspices of the Carnegie Foundation. - The mian who ov;:ns a flivvcr, the other chap who rides in a limou sine, as well as the innumerabl< and growing host who have comt to depend on automative vehicle, for the expansion of their business will be chered and fascinated by his optinjistic views and special in. ormat ion. Treasurers in Waste Ladds Mloreover lie is certain, now, he. caise of recent experiences, thal the world's supply of ruj)ber car be drawn from lands which now iit waste, thus actually adding tllil vast new asset to the world's total wealth, and, if necessary, releasing such rich lands as now are used ir thibber cultivation for other pur l'oses.

[anning as 1econd-Class Matter. >pe, Proprietors. ,ery Wednesday .00 per year in Advance SDAY, DECEMBER ?A, 1921 "Each new succeeding generation has demanded of America vnw. things. None ever has been disap pointed. I think none ever will be. Natural Resources Not Exhausted "Treasures have developed in ex act accordance with the meaning at the time, of the word 'treasure. "Now we have new ideas of the meaning of that word. Some there are who talk of the exhaustion of our natural resources, which are - our greatest treasures, but we whose field is science are begin ning to feel sure thiat this need not occur, that new sources of sup ply continually are to be found by those who realize and search and understand. "This is absolutely true in the fields of agriculture and engineer ing-the one being that of raw material production and the other that of its utilization. "When I was a boy about one fourth of the United States was shown in school geographies as. desert. Four-fifths of all that area since then has been proved to be suitable for human habitation and the establishment of various kinds of industries. "We have. developed lands once known as desert until they are at present more productive than that land which then was known as the nation's very best. "In irrigated country water is directed to a selected area, and then the greatest possible effort' follows to make that area as pro ductive as may be. "The result has been extraordi nary. The so-called 'desert areas,' of the United States which have been put into production are more eflicient acre for acre, thani any other in the world except the truck gardens of Holland, Belgium, the ea.stern edges of the United States and the market gardens of China, where the apotheosis of soil-utili zation has been reached. Where Man's Glory Lies. "Natural conjitions? Man's glory lies in his ability to overcome those, which are adverse. Today Steffans son is raising reindeer for meat up in the Arctic! Man is the only animal which can live in all en vironments, Exactly that mar does. "And now the challenge of the 'esert may be said to have been answered. Man stea:!ily has ad vanced. "Coal and oil were known at first simlply as fuel materials. Now a mere list of the many different ar tieles manufactured frtom these raw materials Would fill hundreds of pages. "When I was born coal vas coal and oil went into lamps. Now, passed along through the labora 1 tories of the chemists, both influ ence in many ways the daily lives of' allof us. ' "When. the white man came to A merical the Indians were raising corn and eating it when hoiled or* roasted. Today corni may be boiled I Or roasted, but it is prepaied as food in many Cther walys. and, be sides, produces oil and a great niumher of other useful by-prod ucts. "All these newv uses for coal, oil, (0orn and a thousand ot'her' things, have 1been dIue to the wor'k of the T lhe util izat ion of the dleser't fot' the producotion of ru bber and for num y othler' things will conme from smnhila eff'ort.
