DIGGING INTO THE SCRAP PILE.
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.
