It has done a good deal of damage with its flood flow in the past, but now it can be made to do some good ir the people who live along The flooding came at an opportune time, Russell continued, because the grain had begun to show the need of irrigation.

The system worked automatically, the tenant operator of the farm going ahead w'ith his corn planting without Interruption. This use of flood water, it was pointed out, will give the added moisture to Increase crops and farm income in normal years. In years when rainfall is slight it will go a long ways toward preventing crop failures such as were experienced a few years back, thereby helping to avert the hardships which farm families have suffered in drouth periods.

The Brcatrice unit operates in Gage and parts of Jefferson counties. The Hebron unit operates in Thayer, Nuckolls, Fillmore and parts of Jefferson and Clay counties.

Avery A. Batson, state director for WPA, explained that the following systematic collection plan has put into operation A superintendent is placed in charge of each area operating three units each under a foreman. The foremen using a pick-up surveys the salvage available and schedules the trucks to pick up the metal. Under each foreman eight trucks are operated with two laborers to each truck. In addition, a truck with hoist is provided to handle implements too heavy for hand loading.

He pointed out that a considerable portion of the metal being collected is of the type which is not economical for the scrap dealer.s to move from the farms to the junk yards. The scrap metal is hauled to the collection centers where it is weighed and stored until a sqf- ficient quantity is a.ssembled to warrant to dealers. After sale by the U. S. Treasury Department, the dealers sort the metal and ship it to the mills for conversion into steel.

Farmers may either donate their surplus or the government will reimburse them by government check. In addition to the WPA trucks being used in the collection of scrap iron, the Department of Agriculture through the Forest Service and Soil Conservation Service has made available additional trucks for this work. Collection Totals. At the West Point center 58 tons of scrap iron have been donated and 805 tons purchased. There have been 1.3 tons o' rubber donated and 16.5 tons purchased.

At this center 11.5 tons of rubber has already been sold to dealers. Operating out of this center are IP trucks and 45 workers. At the Beatrice center with 12 trucks and 37 workers. 22.5 tons of scrap iron has been donated and 148 tons purchased. Farmers in that area have donated 565 pounds of rubber and 3.5 tons has been purchased.

At the Hebron center there are now employed 36 workers with 8 trucks They have collected 1.5 tons of donated scrap iron and 75 tons have been purchased. There has been donated 76 pounds of rubber and 0.75 of a ton has been purchased. The variance in the amount collected at the various centers is caused by a variance in the time the work started While this collection service is available to farmers they are at the same time urged, w'here possible, to sell their own scrap and dispose of it to local dealers. In the West Point area where the work first started there has been a greatly accelerated disposal of these vital materials directly to dealers by the farmers.
