When salvage paper is collected,
to avoid fire hazard, the Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends
that it be stacked neatly and tied
in bundles. Paper boxes should be
flattened, then tied in tight bundles.
A metal trunk or bin with a tight
cover is the safest place to store
paper. Next best is to stack paper
bundles on cement floor away
from furnace, stove or hot pipes.
Soiled or oily paper is useless for
salvage and is also a fire hazard
and should be destroyed.
Tobacco Consumption Near Record
While domestic tobacco consump-
ton has declined in recent months,
this decline has been offset by ship
ments to armed forces abroad, so
that overall consumption is at or
near the highest in the history of

Agriculture reports.
