HIGH CROP DAMAGE

& WASHINGTON, Sept. 20. -(P-
The Weather Bureau reported to-
day that last weeks Atlantic hur-
ricane caused extensive damage to
all crops in coastal sections of Vir-
ginia, Maryland and New Jersey
and resulted in some harm in
southeastern New York and parts
of Massa chusetts and Connecticut
where matured fruit was blown
from trees.
Rain which fell before and dur
ing the hurricane, however, was
beneficial in replenishing depleted
water supplies and conditioning the
soil, the bureau said in its weekly
advanced crops rapidly following
unfavorable weather earlier in the
week, the bulletin said.
Cotton picking advanced under
favorable weather conditions in the
western part of the belt but was

CHAMBER SEEKS
FACTORY SITES

The Wilmington chamber Of
commerce, stimulated by tt in
terest of several establishments in
locating plants here, yesterday
bent all efforts toward locating al
properties in New Hanover coun
ty that are suitable for the estab.
lishment of manufacturing plants.
Walter J. Carrier, chamber
secretary, said the renewed efforts
to learn the location of buildings
in the county in which various
types" of manufacturing in
terests could settle were instigat-
ed by inquiries from the N. c.
Department of Conservation and
Development.
The chamber secretary acknow-
lodged that he knew of only one
abandoned manufacturing plant
here, but pointed out that Others
must certainly be available, and
we want to know about them. p"
Cartier asked that the pro-
perty owner, or anyone knowing
of a plant, Immediately relay the
address of the site and its size
to the chamber. We want to know
about large or small available
plants that could be used by manu-
featuring interests" he said.
