FARMERS ASKED TO GET
MORE SCRAP FOR STEEL
MILLS DURING DECEMBER
Washington, D. C.
Nov. 24, 1942
Carroll Wilson
Herald
The Government is asking the
American farmer to dedicate the
remaining weeks of 1942 to an in
tensified scrap hunt. Steel mills
need more heavy scrap and the
farms are one of the best sources
of this type of metal. We need
your further help in this farm
drive, and in aiding our salvage
committees to continue this effort
throughout the next few weeks.
Mats and other material to help
you are being prepared and will
be mailed soon. All salvage com
mittees are being instructed to
continue to make available to the
farmer all their transportation
facilities and manpower, and to
cooperate with you in every pos
sible way. The nation is looking
to the American farmer. I am
sure, with your help, he will come
through.

feel better to know that they
would be well-fed. He enclosed
the following clipping from a
newspaper:

will be able to demonstrate how
they can dish it out and at the
same time take it while on duty
