This last objective brings up the regulations regarding the sale of lands by the RFC. AU government owned land which is declared surplus will be offered for sale to the original owner, from whom it was purchased by the government st the price paid. If saie is not then made, it is offered to heirs or assigns. Then the property is divided into family sized plots and war veterans are given preference as buyers. Thus farmers will have an opportunity to buy back their land and if they do not, war veterans are given preference. Although much of this land is farm land, hundreds of acres are included in suburban plots near or adjacent to cities and towns. erty l- -Uf rf' aA fr yf- , A y J&Ars. A 4 . 4 r , f t..'.-n- MAJ.
