SAVE SCRAP METAL


Inc shortage in the supply OF the
IRON ana steel, which this country
must nave III increasing amounts ii
'ne war Is TO be won, has developed
new source OF income for the farm
eI' ana not merely few farmers, but
most farmers.
The United States geological sur-
yoy Department OF the Interior. calls
the attention of farmers to the fact
| that even at the recently fixed prices
of iron and steel il should be Dos
sible for most farmers to resn an
overlooked profit through the sale OF
the old iron and steel scattered about
'helr premises; that the saving OF
such old scrap metal Will help to
meet the present serious deficiency
IN the supply OF iron and steel; that
the use of the old metal will accom-
pIish savings in coke, which is now
to be had only at unprecedented
prices that the delivery OF the old
iron and steel at boundaries far from
iron mines and big steel centers will
correspondence relieve the excessive
| strain on the mines. some of the fur
naces, and the railway and boat traf-
fic in the coke and iron producing
districts The farmer who turns in
| his junk while the present prices pre-
vail is likely not only to make a clear
| profit, but. through increasing the
| iron and steel supply, he is contribut-
| ing to the successful prosecution of
/ the war.
