NEED OF IRON AND STEEL IN
FARMING.

Following the receipt of letters
from hardware dealers indicating
a serious shortage in the kinds
of iron and steel used by country
blacksmiths and in farming op-
erations, the Bureau of markets
made a survey of stocks held by
wholesale hardware dealers and
of their estimated needs for six
months. A QUESTIONABLE was
sent to dealers who furnish sup
plies directly or through retail
dealers to country blacksmiths
and farming communities. Re-
plies from some $50 dealers indi-
cate that in most instances sup
plies on hand on June l, 1918,
were much less than those of a
year ago. Many dealers report
a shortage below actual require
ments for the next six months,
particularly in the case of barb
ed wire, nails, and other fence
ing materials, sheets for roofing
and for silos and steel bars of a
size suitable for wagon tires
and farm repair work.
Because of the need for iron
and steel in war industries the
priorities committee of the War
Industries Board requires dealers
in need of supplies to file a Estate
ment on blanks provided for that
purpose, showing the uses for
which materials are desired. The
committee then gives the dealer a
rating, determined by the essen
tial character of the supplies re-
CURED, and the higher ratings
receive the first attention in dis
tributing the available iron and
steel.

WAR BOARD ANNOUNCES RULES
TO GOVERN WEEKLY
PAPERS

The order of the Pulp and
Paper section of the War Indus
tries board, issued a few days
ago to the country weekly news
papers makes it necessary for
each publisher to put his paper
on paid-in-advance basis.
In place of asking the individ-
ual paper to make forced re-
duction of Is per cent in its cir
culation, the board has taken the
industry as a whole and is asking
for an average reduction of Is
per cent of the total tonnage
used by the country weekly.
The board has recognized the
eight-page paper as a minimum
in size an does not ask that any
publisher of a paper of this, or
smaller size, make any reduction
in size, but that such newspapers
must cut out all that unpaid-for
circulation, and stop all other
forms of waste.
The order issued by War In
dustries board follows:
To Publishers of Country week
ly Newspapers;
The priorities board of the War
industries board has listed paper
mills as an essential industry, and
has rated them in the fourth class
for priority for coal, on the dis
tinct understanding that the
greatest possible economy in the
use of paper be exercised, and
that the reduction in the use of
paper by the newspapers snail be
Is per cent. Each paper mill
will be put upon the priority list
for coal, conditional upon their
signing a pledge that they will
furnish no paper to any consumer
who will not also sign pledge in
duplicate that he will exercise
the greatest possible economy in
the use of paper, and will observe
all rules and regulations Of the
conservation division Of the pulp
and paper section of the war in
dustries board.
These pledges are now being
prepared and will be furnished
shortly.
One copy will be left on file
with the mill and the other will
be sent to this Office.

scriptions after three months af-
er date of expiration Of same I'M
less subscriptions are renewed
and paid for. ,

LEGATION at an exceedingly low or
nominal subscription price.
No publisher shall sell his pub
LEGATION to anyone below the pub
llshed subscription price.
No publisher shall offer pre-
miums with his publications.

ing or other contests for the pur-
pose of obtaining subscriptions. !
