Truck loads of scrap iron go by daily toward the coast. These loads, however, are not for Japan. During the months and years past, many such loads passed by for a destination across the Pacific, and now are being used against us in the south seas. So much of this scrap iron had gone westward that we thought that the Nipponese factories had it all, but apparently tons and tons of it still exist on farms and in factories, now for our own uses. Perhaps by the time the war is over the clean-up of another great American waste will find us without iron and steel, and copper, etc., for beneficial uses. Old automobile and truck frames and engines, and out-dated machinery from mines, factories and mills, and hundreds of pieces of antiquated equip ment which we have discarded during the progres sive days of building up our American way of life, is now being gathered up and turned into imple- ments of warfare to defend that American way. It is one feature of our days wherein waste has become a storage reservoir against an hour of need, revers ing the usual proverbs against waste. Just the same this waste will have to be compensated for in the purchase of government bonds and higher prices for replacements in the future. Nowhere can this waste be better observed and its future effects be better predicted than on the farms of the United States. For many years accum ulating piles of old machinery have been noticeably observed from the new highways that have steadily penetrated the farm areas. Universal criticism has been made for lack of sheds, and protection of good high priced modern machinery. Now, in the strife of world war, farmers have been awakened to the need for new equipment to meet the productive needs required for war, and parts for the old mach inery are scarcely obtainable. When new machines are not available farmers must repair the old an- tiques, and loan to neighbors, and alongwith such poor tools do all they can to meet the emergencies of these trying days. Of course they will do it, even at increased cost and diminished production. New lessons in more rigid economy will be learned, some of which was lost in our happier days of easier going. The almost lost sense of conservation will return to us. A bet- ter estimate of the value of these metals will check our old wasteful ways. We may learn to know that the great storehouses of minerals which nature laid by for us are running down, and are not unlimited. God gave us these great resources, but likewise he gave man the power to develop a sense of the proper uses of abundance for the benefits of all mankind. COLUMBIA NEWS By Mrt.
