why SCRAP IS so IMPORTANT

First-Scrap iron and steel is
needed in the process of making
new steel from iron ore.
Second-A pound of scrap metal
melted together with a pound of pig
iron (made from iron ore) produces
nearly two pounds of new steel.
Railroads are breaking all records
in getting tremendous quantities of
iron ore from the mines in northern
Minnesota to the boats on Lake
Superior. The Great Northern Rail-
way alone is moving nearly one
third of all of the iron ore that is
being consumed by the roaring steel
furnaces of the Nation.
But iron ore is not enoughi
Scrap metal is the urgent need!
The production of tanks, guns,
shells, ships, ETC., for our fighting
forces is slowing up because of lack
of scrap metal.
Our Commander lin Chief has
appealed to every American to search
out and turn in the last ounce of
scrap metal from his home, BUSH
ness and farm.

Flax At No Less
Than $40
Is Incentive

Glacier county farmers are
among those of the state who are
being urged to begin planning
for a maximum CT flax acreage.
In story appearing in The Chief
last week, liver A. Rood, secre-
tsry of the Conrad Production
Credit Association called atcen-
ton to the need of farmers ar
ranging for seed purchase at
this time.
A later release giving interest
ing highliKhts on this seasons
financial prospects of the crop
appears as follows:
The Far Eastern war makes it
absolutely essential that Ameri-
can farmers produce all the oil
bearing crops they possibly can
to replace Far Eastern imports
that are now cut off and Montana
farmers can make a substantial
contribution by producing flax
seed. A goal of $50, 900 acres
has been established for Montana
as compared with an estimated
l94l production of l6l, 900 acres.
Production this year W i'll be en-
couraged by a government pro-
gram which will support the price
for the 1912 crop at SIS per cent
of parity, which will in no case
be less than S2.l0 per bushel,
with location and grade differen-
,ials.
Department of Agriculture Of
ficiaIs estimate that an adequate
supply of good seed is available
If orders are placed early enough
to allow time to assemble seed,
clean it and distribute it from
the surplus areas to those which
have a shortage. All the $780,
600 to 1900, 900 bushels that will
be necessary to seed the 1912
goal of a. million acres will mol
go though commercial channels
as many farmers have seed avail
able but those having weather
damaged seed in their bins are
urged to test samples for germin-
alton before seeding time.
This needed increase in flax
seed production and guaranteed
price gives farmers another
good cash crop which can b e
used to replace wheat acreage
for 1912. We've got too much
wheat on hand now so it's a
waste of time, money and re-
sources to grow more when other
crops such as flax are urg-
emily needed to help win the war.
