Vets Get WAA Goods
Have you a. little surplus property
in your home? The War Assets Ad
ministration says that veterans have
snagged a billion and 260 million
dollars worth of the 18H billion dol
lars surplus property inventory and
can still get plenty mors if they want
?.
The catch is that 60 per cent a the
7 billion in snrptus war property still
on hand is "heavy" stuff like indus
trial plants, real estate, heavy ma
chine tools, etc., in which veterans
have little interest.
Right now, however, War Assets is
getting ready to offer veterans $16
million worth of' scarce equipment
now stored in the Navy's Norfolk
Supply depot. Items include type
writers, tools, office equipment,
household equipment and personal
supplies and all will be offered to
veterans through the WAA Customer
Service Centers in that region.
the millions of veterans
' who have bought surplus property
from WAA for personal or home use,
WAA says more than 16,000 have
been able to get enough surplus to go
(into business for themselves and now
operate busineeaes which employ
260,000 other veterans.
. If they could do it, why can't you?
The Charlotte Regional Office of
the WAA has dene its part, accord
ing to C. G. Carlile, Regional Direc
tor. He stated that over 2V4 million
dollars oT war surplus had been sold
to. veterans exclusively since Sept. 1,
1946. "This doesn't count the many
millions of dollars worth of war sur
plus that veterans bought in com
petitive bid and other types of'sale,"
Mr. Cgriile explained.
During the" next-two weeks, the
Customer Service Centers in the
Charlotte region?Charlotte, Greens
boro and Wilmington?have planned
sales of scpice items such as type
writers and other small equipment.
Mr. Carlile stated that the Charlotte
region is doing everything possible
to dispose of as much war surplus
property aa possible to veterans.

FARMERS WARNED TO GIT
THEIR FERTILIZER NOW
North Carolina farmers were
vised by D. S. Coltrane, assii
State Commissioner of Agriculture;
to place orders early for fertiliser in
order to be aaaured of pifficient
plant food for their crops nfcxt year.
Coltrane emphasised the necessity
for an early movement of fertiliser
because of a potential shortage of
boxcars, lack of storage space and
prospective insufficient supplies of
fertiliser on a national basis. ??
"It seems that our fanners are
rather complacent with regard to
supplies of fertiliser for the coming
year," he commented. ?
Leaders of the fertiliser industry
are anticipating no reduction in the
volume of fertiliser used in North
Carolina despite a prospective sharp
cut in tobacco acreage next year.
They-see increased use of fertiliser
for corn, cotton and pastures, and
larger applications of fertiliser on
the tobacco acreage put into cultiva
tion.
Few new fertiliser planta are ser
ving the tobacco area, and consump
tion of fertiliser is nearly double
what it waa six or seven years ago.
Coltrane said farmers would be
making a mistake to postpone order
ing fertiliser because of the impend
ing reduction in tobacco acreage and
low tobacco prices. To be safe, they
Should, get their fertilizer before
Jtnusry, he declared.
