Street swceplngs to the estimated
amount OF three million tons are col
lec,ed every year In the cities OF the
United States. Most OF this material
IS either used for "hlling" or thrown
away; but the department OF asricul-
ture learns that In some places farm
srs secure the sweepIngs for fertilizing
purposes. and that the farmers in such
cases, with few exceptions. report oS-
cellcnt results. Since the disposition
of such refuse is sometimes a serious
problem, the fact seems TO be worth
consideration on the part OF town and
country alike. One OF our worst faults.
as people, is n persistent disregard
of the truth that to prevent waste In
all such ways Is to Increase wealth.
