Dr. Carl D. LaRue of the botany department will con- duct a six-month expedition in the wilds of Bolivia to discover methods of cultivation of a new type of "black rubber" important in United States defensse plans. The "black rubber" plant, which has never been cultivated, yields in wild growth a considerably larger supply per tree and is of better quali- ty than the variety now cultivated. Prof. LaRue, the only American sci- entist who has made an extensive study of black rubber, will survey the possibilities of planting the trees in the rubber region of Bolivia. Leave of absence from his teach- ing duties for the first semester was granted to Prof. LaRue by the Board of Regents last week. The expedi- tion will be composed of Prof. LaRue, another American botanist yet to be selected, and a group of South A- merican natives. LaRue declared the aims of the project to be: "making a survey of the possibilities of rubber cultiva- tion in Bolivia; inspecting lands suit- able for rubber culture; determin- ing the site for an experimental sta- tion in cooperation with the Boliv- ian governmentment; and collecting and sending out seeds, bud wood and stumps for planting in experiment stations sin Central America and South America.
