VICKS VA-TRO-NOL Although the Germans manufactured and used synthetic rubber in volume long before America, a general superiority of the American synthetic rubber over the German product has been established by technologists. To obtain enough rubber to make a tiro for a low-priced car, two rubber trees must be tapped for a whole year. Longer, more uniform tire life, con stant goal of tire manufacturers. Is now being achieved through use of a new type of synthetic rubber de veloped by B. F. Goodrich. Steering wheels of post-war cars may be cushioned with a covering of synthetic rubber.

To ur Seed Being Rushed to Europe, Asia to Avert Famine Threat UNRRA Shipped 38,000 Tons Since Early Spring By L. F. Stice, Extension Marketing Expert. First harvests from UNRRA (United Nations Relief and Rehabili tation administration) s^eds are be ing reaped by European farmers this fall, for despite early difficul ties of shopping it was possible to send some seeds in time for the 1945 spring planting. A shipping program has been drawn up to meet Europe’s 1946 spring needs and an initial pro gram has been started in China. From the multiplication of UNRRA seeds will come seeds for the first plantings in Jap-free soil. The 1945 fall and winter seed ship ping targets for Europe are mainly wheat, rye, barley, oats, vetch and alfalfa. Data from current shipping reports indicate the amounts, vari eties and destinations of the seeds included with UNRRA cargoes now going forward from the United States and Canada. For instance, on July 2 the Chief Osceola left Baltimore for Constanza with 70,000 bags of rye seed for Czechoslovakia. The following day the Aleksandar I cleared Montreal with 934 bags of alfalfa seed for Yugoslavia, and the Tamara left St. John, New Brunswick, for Piraeus, Greece, with 905 bags of alfalfa seed. The Nicholas Labodie left Houston, Texas, for Constanza, July 8, with 15,420 bags of wheat seed and 1,166 bags of rye aboard to be routed to Czechoslovakia along with other UNRRA materials and sup plies. Europe Exported Seeds Before War. In prewar times, Europe was not only self-sufficient, but a producer of an exportable seed surplus. This was true for cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, red clover and many other seeds although seed corn and peren nial grasses were Imported. But the destruction of war forced constant switches in the normal economy upon the occupied countries. At the end of hostilities such seeds as the edible legumes—beans and peas, most of the vegetables, wheat and other cereal seeds were needed. Many areas in Europe were also short on grass seeds to rebuild neglected pasture land, seeds to grow animal feed and seeds for in dustrial crops. Forage legumes, al falfa, the clovers—red, alsike, and white—and turnips for animal feed ing are called for. Seeds to grow rape and hemp for oil, and flax for fiber are also needed. Shortly after UNRRA was formed by the United Nations in November of 1943, these estimates were turned over to the Standing Technical Com mittee on Agriculture. The experts of the committee, representing both the invaded and the supplying na tions, used them as their starting point for planning rehabilitation tnrough the importation and manage ment of a seed supply. As later in formation came to light the early goals were modified. The time of year when countries were liberated also entered into UNRRA’s calcula tions. Since the military is respon sible for the initial shipments, the army would undertake to distribute supplies in countries ready to plant while military governments were in charge. Vegetables Given Priority. In selecting seeds to be sent, the committee gave first emphasis to seeds that grew food for direct hu man consumption. Vegetable seeds came first, then potatoes and cere- ^ al. Secondary consideration and shipping space went to seed that would produce forage crops for areas where the restoration of the livestock feed supply is considered urgei . The tonnages shipped and distributed to date reflect this pri ority. Seeds dispatched for 1945 spring planting were largely beans and peas from Canada and the Unit ed States, and other vegetable seeds from the United States and the Unit ed Kingdom. Food grown from these seeds is now furnishing some of the protective elements so badly needed in the diets of most of the people of the world today. Some of the seed distributions in the liberated countries were car ried on jointly by UNRRA and the military. As the military govern ments withdrew the remaining seed stocks were turned over tp UNRRA. Seeds from this source were dis tributed in the Balkans. Some of the seed held for UNRRA in the U. S. for use last spring in case of an earlier V-E Day were then chan neled into the domestic market. For instance, vegetable seeds to replant the irrigated truck lands near the city areas in Greece were first made available through mili tary supplies and later through UNRRA shipments. Vegetable and root crop seeds from plants grown in England were shipped this spring to Czechoslovakia. Root crop seeds were included with the first UNRRA cargoes for Poland. Surplus Stocks Distributed. One objective of the UNRRA seed program is to re-establish a flow of seeds within Europe from surplus pockets to areas of need. Military authorities found that Germany had been stimulating seed production in some of the occupied countries. Where crops were not destroyed these reserves are now made gen erally available. Seeds of French origin are going to Holland and Belgium. Danish seeds may flow across Danish fron tiers. Italy may have a surplus of seeds which can be routed to other countries. Seed potatoes from Cy prus have been sent to Greece. A small portion of the crops raised from the 1945 shipments of seed is being set aside to produce the seed for next year’s planting. The treakdown of interior trans- portatioi. in the liberated countries as a result of German occupation is a complicating factor in the seed situation as it is in nearly every other relief and rehabilitation pro gram. Every seedman who has led ! the fight in his own community for better farm to market roads can un derstand the situation. Roads and j waterways have been bombed. Civil ian motor vehicles have disappeared, carts have been wrecked and draft animals have been stolen and slaughtered. Much of this was de liberate sabotage on the part of the retreating Nazis.

Early this spring there was a sur plus of sorely needed alfalfa seed in one of the liberated countries but the farmers couldn’t thresh it be cause there was no power or fuel. Even if it could have been threshed there was no means for getting it to the seed cleaning plants. Through out the channels of distribution the same problems of fuel power and transportation arise. ^However, the trucks, tractors and draft animals now going to the liberated countries are beginning to ease the situation. The 1946 spring shipping targets are being worked out now by UNRRA in consultation with the agricultural officials of the countries receiving aid. All shipments will be based on estimates which reflect the actu al minimum requirements to pro duce maximum crops.

High School Crowd Taught How to Drive In Safety Program Anticipating a teen-age rush to used ■ car lots for “jallopies” dis carded by the motor public when new model automobiles are placed on the market, state and local school officials are accelerating programs in high school driver education. Termed “behind the wheel” pro grams, those in operation or planned for the near future are designed to teach high school students to drive safely on the public highways. Some 5,000 high schools through out the country now have behind-the- wheel programs, according to infor mation to the American Municipal association, with six states ap parently well in the lead in devel oping such programs: North Da kota, Iowa, California, Wisconsin, North Carolina and Illinois. In each of these six states, at least 200 high schools offer driver education courses. Delaware includes behind-the- wheel training in 27 classes in 18 high schools. Only six high schools in the state remain without the state wide driver education program be cause of wartime lack of personnel and equipment. The West Virginia board of edu cation has approved the proposed course of study in driver education prepared by the West Virginia driv er education committee and includ ed it in the standard state high- school curriculum. Minnesota held a three-day educa tion institute at the University of Minnesota this summer through co operation of the university and state departments responsible for traffic education. The summer institute fol lowed three regional institutes held in May. One of the difficulties involved in behind-the-wheel training in North Carolina has been solved by using the state school buses for training purposes. Thousands of students have already learned the principles and practice of safe driving through this expedient. LOWER EGG PRICES EXPECTED IN 1946 Egg prices are expected to remain strong during the rest of 1945 and may even advance in coming weeks because of the usual seasonal de cline in production and upward re visions of price ceilings. In the first half of 1946, however, the price is expected to be somewhat lower than for the same period in 1945. The over-all meat shortage and a 6 per cent decline in egg production were major factors supporting egg prices at the 1945 level. In 1946 civilian meat supplies will be more plentiful and egg production may be higher, depending on the number of chick ens sold for meat. As civilian, military and export de mands for eggs decline, a lower level of production will be necessary (see chart). Egg producers in the corn belt states will be particularly af fected because a relatively larger part of their output has been dried and the production has increased relatively more. 50 Ua 30. 20. 10- O T920 nunoM r;cs PRODUCTXOI or KGS, U.
