Shall Claiborne County be Classed
as a Siakcer ?
People of Claiboroe:
Owing to the State's failure to
respond to a former call, the im
pression has gone abroad that the
State is a Slacker, but this cam
paign will rectify that, for the
State will raise its allotment.
But Claiborne county has fatted
to raise its assignment of $2,000,
and bas raised but $i,22o, and,
though our State will take her
proper place, our couoty will
stand before the other counties in
the State as a Slacker unless we
raise our part.
I request every mao who bas
been appointed 00 the committee
for bis district to start again and
see every citiz-n.
There are pleoty who can give
$100, $50, or even $10—every man
should give at - least $10—that
amount will care f of a soldier till

On Wednesday,NuV 28,the Ex
tension Department of the Missis
sippi A. and M. College will bold
a farm machinery demonstration
on the field near the Compress. A
full carload ot machinery will be
brought and this will be operated
all day for the heneifit of those in
terested. - f
This demonstration deals main
ly with the operation of labor
saviog machinery and the proper
preparation and seeding of dif
ferent crops. The labor shortage
is the one chief !ac>or that is con
fronting the farmers of Claiborne
County in the coming crop year,
and all indications point to a de
crease in the labor supply rather
than an increase.
Because ot the high price ot
farm products and the need of
them 00 the part of the Nation it
is to be expected that the acreage
tor the coming year will be larger
than that of the last crop season,
but unless labor saviog methods
are used to handle the acreage the
coming year we cannot do our full
part in the work. Increased acre
age with a diminishing labor sup
ply makes labor saviog machinery
imperative.
If you are interested in handling
your increased acreage with less
labor be sure to see these demon«
stratioos on ibe 28th.
