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

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. Even when there

father has some old medals (wasn’t
he wading champion or something
in his youth?); see if your O.A.O.
will part with the medal he won
for track. Pin them to bits of col
ored ribbon and wear them instead
of your trickier lapel gadgets. If
you have a lot of medals, you can
pin them to a broad ribbon worn
diagonally from one shoulder and
tucked into your skirt belt. It’s a
fad!

ty in moving them from the area
where grown to the seed cleaning
establishments, warehouses and
markets.
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.

Something to Keep the Ladies Warm
This armload of white fox pelts being displayed by an employee of a
New York auction house is worth plenty at present prices. Fur coats,
always expensive, will be sky-high this year, dealers say. Most skins
now used come from Canada and the United States. The highest-priced
fur this season is called silver-blue platinum mink. There are only enough
of these rare pelts in the world to make up ten coats. An American mink
farmer developed the color phase by careful interbreeding.

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.

Natives Found Corporal’s
Bite Worse Than His Bark
A corporal in New Guinea proved
that his bite was worse than his
bark when he put his teeth into his
dealings with natives.
When the natives refused to take
their work for the army quarter
master corps seriously, the cor
poral released an angry tirade—
with such vigor that his false teeth
fell to the ground.
“The incident,” the army grave
ly reports, “caused great concern
among the natives. The corporal
was looked upon with respect and
awe, and his orders were obeyed.”
