Gather Up Your scran Metal.

For the past two years VI e have been reminded by innumerabla agencies to avoid waste. Net, little CT nothing has
 been said or written regarding the waste of scrai, iron and other metals.
 Doubtless there are very few farms in Connecticut that do not have from twenty to several hundred pounds
 of discarded metal of various sorts,
 lying about; material that is useless
 as it is. but if put into proper hands
 would greatly allsviate tho present shortage of metals in tie United States, says NJ. S. <linK farm machin- cry specialist for the eXtension service of Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs. We are unable to comprehend the enormous amount Of iron, steel, 1 brass. copper. etc, that has leen used 1 in carrying out the extensive war pro i grarume. Moreover, the ending of the war will not appreciablv lessen the 1 scarcity, because of the great need of maChiRery and materials fer recon | StrHction work in the devastated areas. 1 The difficulties experienced in ob- 1 taining farm implements, as well as l the unprecedented high prices for the same. were and are due not only to | transportation congestion, but also very largely to scarcity of material for manufacture. Although yoI:r partic- | ular collection of scrap metal m/y | seem of little valle, yet when combin- 1 ed with others. over the entire coun- i try, there would be q sum total of sev- eral thousand tons avai!2bie for re-
 smelling and making into farm imple- mentS.
 Accordingly it would be consistent
 with the spirit of the times and of the | financial advantage to yourself, says l Mr. klink. to learn the correct market l prices for the various kinds of old met al. and to cooperate with Honr neigh hors in the collection, saving, and 1 proper disposal of this n1EGfacturinE l necessity.
