FARM SCRAP GOAL-3.000,000 TONS!
To the Farmers of Deaf Smith County:
Again let us call your attention to tie absolute necessity of getting to mark-
et every available pound of scrap metal What the war effort needs most vitally
is the heavy metal -the "grunt and heare" stuff that's worth its weight in mach-
ine guns. Look along the fence rows for discarded machine parts, old car and
truck frames and if you can dig up an abandoned tractor you have really found
a diamond in the rough. If this goal of &000,000 tons, set by War Production
Chairman Donald Nelson, is to be met, it means the farmers of America will
have to average 1,000 pounds of scrap jer farm and such a task cannot be left to
the children. This is a man's job and every man's responsibility, and since 50
percent of all new steel is scrap, no min must shirk or fail. Look at the imple-
ments of war pictured on this page aid you must realize that steel enters into
the construction of all. Would you want your son or close relative now in the
service to be without the protection of any of them? This is not an appeal to your
emotions, yet hard business sense and the law of averages compel us all to ad-
mit that the failure of one in this effort may cost the life of the very one dear to
him. It must not happen.
So make your plans to make next week, May 10th to 15th, a memorable one
in this county. Assemble your scrap and get it to market. If you have no trans-
portation for this material, we will arrange to get it to market for you -- but
please have it assembled. A commitieeman will call on you during the week
to learn just what your plans are so have something definite to report to him.
This must be an effort in which all do their part.
