I if it con be reduces I
Ml We second the motion
"?sssr We’ll do our port!
International Harvester has reduced prices to save users of
its products $20,000,000 a year. The reductions apply to a
selected list of various products made by the Company.
In making its announcement to the general public last week,
International Harvester said:
“We believe there is nothing more important to this country
than to lower the prices of goods people buy.
“The American people have insisted that the government
withdraw from its attempts to control prices in peacetime.
That places the responsibility where it belongs—in the hands
of business and industry.
“Because we believe price reduction is vital, we are widing
to assume the risks involved.”
As International Dealers we will do our part. We will pass
International Harvester’s price reductions to our customers.

Good Seed Reduce
Failures, Improve
Watermelon Yields
A good supply of high-quality
watermelon seed will be availa
ble to all Georgia farmers when
the Georgia Crop Improvement
Association develops its certified
seed program, specialists of the
extension service said this week,
j Poor seed cause many of the
! crop failures and low yields of
watermelons.
According to Elmo Ragsdale,
horticulturist, and L. E. Farmer,
I marketing specialist, only 14,224,-
000 market melons were pro
duced on 56,000 acres in Georgia
during 1946, compared with near
ly 14,500,000 market melons on
only 43,000 acres a year earlier.
The value per acre decreased
i from $146 in 1945 to slll in 1946,
they pointed out.
South Georgia farmers are al
ready planting their watermelon
crop, Mr. Ragsdale revealed. Seed
i treatment is important if farm-
I ers control seed-borne diseases
and obtain a good stand, he said.
When planting sprouted seed,
Mr. Ragsdale said, soak them for
1 five to ten minutes in a one to
1,000 solution of corrosive sub
! limate, wash the poisonous ma
terial off in several changes of
i water and sprout the seed. Un
sprouted seed should be treated
with one-third pound of either
Semesan or Spergen to 100
pounds of seed. Both materials,
especially Semesan, are toxic,
but seeds can be stored after
treatment until ready to plant.
Navy Urges Its Veterans
To File Terminal Leave
Claims Immediately
The navy urges all of its vet
erans who have not already done
so to file claim for their termi
nal leave pay immediately. Nec
essary forms for filing claims can
be obtained at any U. S. Post Of
fice and contain detailed instruc
tions on how to fill them out.
Checks or notices have been
mailed to all men whose correct
forms have been received by the
U. S. Navy terminal leave dis
bursing office at Great Lakes,
111., although the navy has on
hand more than 1,000 applica
tions which cannot be processed
because addresses were omitted
on the claims. In addition, 1,700
bonds and checks have been re
turned by postal officials because
wrong addresses were given. Reg
ulations forbid the forwarding of
such mail. Any navy veteran who
filed claims before Dec. 1 and
| has not yet received payment is
urged to check on their claims
immediately.
The theory has been advanced
that some former navy men may
not be filing claims because they
believe Congress will authorize
terminal leave payments in cash
instead of bonds. It is pointed
out by the terminal leave dis
bursing office that bonds issued
now could be cashed as easily as
checks in such event.
The Sixth Naval District Civil
Readjustment Officer, Room 24,
The Center, Charleston, S. C.,
will be glad to investigate de
layed payments or to assist vet
erans in filing claims. Depend
ents of deceased veterans are
also advised to file claims or to
investigate claims not yet re
ceived, which were filed previous

with us. ’

Parts that have kept equipment operating for our customers
