WANTED All the iron and steel
scrap that is lying dormant on
farms, such as obsolete, broken and
worn out equipment and other ac
cumulated material. It is urgently
needed to maintain and increase the
output of steel plants and foundries
More scrap means more steel!
If steel mills and foundries are
to achieve any increase in produc
tion over the present high level, all
available farm scrap must be
started moving off the farms, says
the Committee on Iron and Steel
Scrap, of American Iron and
Steel Institute
Farmers everywhere can help
toward more steel by scrapping
their obsolete equipment and sell
ing it promptly to a local scrap
dealer, with other iron and steel
scrap from their farms. It will be
used to make steel for defense
equipment and essential civilian
items
The need is urgent. Steel plants
and foundries are now using rec
ord quantities of scrap. Every day
in 1951 about 98,000 tons of pur-
chased scrap are being used.
Never before have such large
quantities been required. Even so
the need will increase, for steel
capacity 'is scheduled to rise
sharply over the next year or two.
Farms have always been a good
source of scrap and during the
war when drives were conducted,
agricultural areas yielded large
tonnages of scrap to help win the
conflict
Farmers are asked to take their
scrap now to town and sell it to
scrap dealers. If the scrap is un
usually bulky, preventing its easy
transportation by the farmer, the
scrap dealer can be called or ar
rangements can be made through
the local farm agent to get it to
the dealer
Farms are one of the principal
sources of the scrap that is re
quired by steel companies and
foundries. Auto wrecking yards,
factories and railroads are among
the other major sources.
More scrap from farms means
more steel!
OR MORE!

There are times when even the
most devoted of brides feel a wild
desire to wallop their beloved with
the nearest available object. For
fifteen minutes I had been patiently
watching Jeff wander silently from
room to room picking up article*
and putting them down, rattling
doorknobs, poking in cabinets.
Finally, in as polite a tone as I
could muster I inquired:
"Looking for something?”
"Just curious,” he volunteered
at last. “I wondered how many
items we have around here made
of copper. You know. With the
silent butler, plant holders, trays,
fireplace stun, doorknobs, and I
don’t know what all, we have
enough copper to start a small
war'”
"No, thank you,” I put in firmly.
"But that's exactly where copper
is going,” Jeff replied, "because
without it our

sa:d, warming up to the subject,

It finally developed that Jeff had
read an article describing a new
government copper order effective
March 1st which will prohibit the
manufacture of more than three
hundred item* using copper and it*
alloys. Wnat piqued Jeff's curiosity
was that the article declared the
order would affect every American.
He pointed out the truth of this
statement bv listing a few of the
prohibited items tuch as jewelry,
dress ornaments, and decorative
accessories used in homes. Even
more important, the ban will reach
manv nelcs including building
which depends heavily on copper
