JUST SCRAP IRON

We note that many of the farmers are bringing a load of old iron to town and selling if every time they come. This is q splendid idea, for the old iron IS now bringing an enor- nous price, and as a usual thing is worth absolutely nothing to the farm CT. Not only this, but it causes the farmer 10 clean up in the fence corners and around the barns of all the scrap iron he has, thus making his place look much bette-Paducah Post.
 War prices are being paid for scrap iron. This means that every farmer who bought an $50 cultivator last year, and allowed it to stand in the weather all winter can now get almost four dollars for it at the junk yard. Of course that isn't a very profitable transaction, but it may save him four dollars that he otherwise would lose. Then too, fetching the old iron to town may be about as much trouble to the farmer as it would have been to put the cultivator under shelter when he finished with it last summer. But the farmer has to go to town any

Lots of cities poke fun at the kind of farmer who pays trust prices for farm implements. grumbl- ing like heck at the price, and then permits these costly tools to fall into ramshackles through the opera tion of alternate visitations of sun- shine and rain, freezes and thaws. But the State Press, who has an intuitive sympathy for all careless folks, finds it easy to excuse the farmer who leaves the blow at the end of the turn row at laying by time and finds it in bad repair when next required. Farming is a tire some business. It requires so much walking and other forms of exercise that a blow soon begins to look like an instrument of tyranny to the man who shoves it. In his own case, if
