ARRAS, France (AP) Farms
: hereabouts that were battlefields
are yielding a harrest of metal
almost as valuable as their har
vests of food.
Copper, lead and Iron, shot by
the cannon of all the armies, are
gathered by a peacetime army of
1,00ft mea and women. Other
thousands of boys and girls help
at family budgets with their
dally load of metal.
For ten years this has been
feint on and It probably will con
tinue another fire years. Every
time field is ploughed or bar-
rowed more metal comes to the
aarface.
- The government, theoretically
ewu all this but contractors have
bought the right to It. There are
crvts of expert workers who pass
froip'farm to farm, sometimes
picking np the metal themselves
aad sometimes buying the heap'
already gathered by the farmer
and his family. .
, A million pounds of copper and
lead were found last year in one
department Of iron and steel
there is several times as much.
The enormous quantity of cop
per, thousands of tons, consists
mostly of. empty cartridges, an

now is the center for the large
territory which it supplies. This
field is badly run down and the
task of building it up is going to
be no small one. but we are bar

make it as modern and excellent

the old plant will be closed In 0

Salem will be piped directly from

than half a million dollars.
