IOWA MAKING WAR GOODS
Two Hundred Factories of State
Engaged N Production.

About 200 Iowa factories are
now working for the government,
100 of them manufacturing food
products and the others meeting
miscellaneous needs ranging from
steam engines down to small meual
stampings, tools, gloves, garments
and accoutermehts.
The latter half of these factories
have obtained their business very
largely thru the governments adj
vertisements sent broadcast and by
the individual efforts, of the manu-
facturers and their organizations.
Very few large government orders
have come to Iowa up to the pres
ent time. This is due chiefly to
the fact that Iowa manufacturers
hesitate about making alterations
in their equipment for some par
ticular contract Of moderate size
when they see no certainty Of re-
peat orders.
Therefore most of the govern
ment stuff manufactured in. Iowa
has been along the line of the regu-
lar product of the factories. The
new policy now being considered at
Washington, of spreading the orders
over the west and relieving the
congestion in the east, it is said,
will warrent the Iowa manufactures
in making necessary. changes in
equipment to handle much larger
volume of orders.
A representative of the Iowa
manufacturers at Washington has
stated that though buying during
the first year of the war was neces-
strily done along the lines most
readily available and certain tc
meet an unprecedented emergency
hhe war industries board, part o:
THE council of national defense, is
working on a proposition intended
! to actually equalize the purchases
of the government in all parts of the
country
