The steel which weeks ago should
have gone through the processing
and fabricating channel, is far be-
hind schedule and, therefore, the
American Iron and Steel Institutes
Committee ON Scrap has warned
that complete return to normal in
the flow of scrap cannot occur until
the supply Of new steel approx
mates the demand.
In the ten months from August
1945 through May 1916, production
Of ingots and steel for castings was
22,036,000 tons lower than output
over the same period Of 1944-1945.
Presumably, better operating con-
ditions would have enabled at least
100000 tons Of that total to have
been made. The 100000 tons
would have supplied the steel for
100000 small dwellings, plus the
steel for 100000 automobiles, plus
all the bale ties made for farmers
over the last nine years, plus 50.-
100000 one-quart tin cans, plus a
washing machine and a stove for
every one OF the 100000 homes
mentioned above-and still there
would remain 100000 tons OF steel
for other purposes, including much
needed farm machinery and equip
ment.
The requirements for all goods,
whether for the homo, the farm.
transportation, ETC.. will be fulfilled
In direct proportion to the receipt
BY the steel mills Of scrap.

Farmers can help themselves to
get steel-whether 1t be new piece
of farm machinery, an automobile,
a keg of nails, a roll of fencing or
other products-by promptly taking
their accumulated scrap to the near.
est scrap dealer, the Committee on
Iron and Steel Scrap of the Ameri-
can Iron and Steel Institute said
today.
A grave shortage of scrap threat
ems to thwart the steel industry's
attempts to make up the 10 million
tons of steel that it has lost since
VI Day as a result of strikes and
work stoppages. The scarcity of
scrap is due largely to the fact that
Industries which usually generate
scrap in large quantities have not
been operating at all or operating
at low levels since VI Day.
Farms have always been a good
source of scrap and during the war
when drives were conducted, agri-
cultural areas yielded large ton
nages of scrap to help win the
conflict.
In view Of the current scrap
shortage which threatens the full
use of steel-making facilities, farm
ers are asked to take their scrap
now to town and sell 1t to scrap
dealers. II the scrap is unusually
bulky, preventing its easy transpor-
tation by the farmer, the scrap
dealer can be called or arrange
ments can be made through the
local farm agent to get 1t to the
dealer.

No Tomatoes on Potato Plants


Potato growers attending 'Pota-
to Day." July 10, at the University
of Delaware Experimental farm
were reminded by E. P. Brasher,
head of the Department of Horti-
culture, that research has not ad-
vanced to the point where toma-
toes will grow in potato plants.
This blasts recent reports that to-
matoes were being discovered on
potato plans in some sections of
the State. According to Brasher,
the green fruits that look like to-
matoes on some potato plants are
nothing more than potato seed
pods. While this is unusual in
Delaware, the formation of potato
seed pods is a normal thing in
cooler parts of the country where
many of our seed potatoes are de-
veloped and produced. The ap-
pearance of the pods in Delaware
this year is due to the weather.
New Poultry Circular Issued
Poultry Culling and Selection"
is the title of the latest poultry
circular issued by the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service.
Prepared by w. c. Skoglund, Ex-
tension poultry specialist, the bull
letin aims to fill requests of poul-
trymen for information on culling
during the current need for con-
serving food.
Skoglund stresses the import
ance of culling as good poultry
management. Culling the hens
that are not laying reduces pro-
duction costs per dozen eggs,
makes better use of housing space
for the better birds, and reduces
laying flock mortality.
Among the features of the bull
letin are illustrations aond charts
on how to cull-how to tell layers
from non-layers; how to determine
past production, so that the poul-
tryman can select the best birds to
keep; and how to select pullets
and males.
This poultry circular No. SO, is
available to poultrymen, and may
be obtained from the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service,
Newark, Del, or from county ag-
ricultural agents in Dover and
Georgetown.
All Members Keep Records
Thirty-seven All boys and girls
in Delaware are learning the value
of money by keeping personal rec
ord books. Under the guidance OF
Miss Louise Whitcomb, home man.
agement specialist for the Della
ware Extension Service, these club
members are keeping track of
their daily spending habits and re-
cording them in the complete re-
cord book.
In talking over the spending
habits of boys and girls with their
parents, Miss Whitcomb advocates
a regular allowance for spending,
and saving. Small weekly
based on the child's
needs for school lunches, school
treats and movies are
most common. There is also a
place in the book to record the
items furnished by the parents,
which the allowance or spending
money is not expected to cover
things like clothing, dentist bills,
music lessons, and trips. The
summary of such a record at the
end of the year is of equal satis-
faction to parents and All club
members. To parents, it gives a
concrete idea of the cost of feed
ing, clothing, and educating boys
and girls and provides a guide for
