Show INDUSTRY PUTTING 1 FARMS ON RUBBER The rubber industry is transforming trans-forming the farmer from "the man with a hoe" into a machine-loving, cost-conscious producer. To keep the farm on wheels, the industry expects to turn out 5' million rubber tires this year for tractors, plows, manure spreaders and combines, as well as for automobiles and trucks used in agriculture. With rural electrification, rubber rub-ber V-belts by the thousands are driving workshop tools as well as field implements. Many farms have conveyor belts to carry corn from crib to barn and manure from stall to spreader. |
