Veterans Land Act,.

This legislation, implemented
at the conclusion of the Second
World War, was designed to
farming on a full or part time}
basis following their discharge
from active military service. It!
has been effective in ac-.
complishing this goal, with
more than 140,000 veterans
having been setlled under its
various provisions, involving
advances of public funds of over
$1,250,000,000,

There is no question in my
mind thal the original concepts
and provisions of this Act were
sound. and invaluable to the
successful establishment of
many thousands of veterans
wha elected to seek em-
ployment In agriculture in the
years since the way. -

It is a fact, however, that the
average age today of World War
Il veterans is approaching 60 -
