FARM OWNERS RESPOND

Discussing this matter yesterday MT. Samuels said:
 FARM OWNERS RESPOND The repsonse of farm owners has been fine, and good white tenants are being put in touch with the farms they de- sire. With the necessity of helping feed the world, and the prospects of good
 money to be made on the farm, we now need a great many more people on good farms. To give an idea of the variety or the farms already listed: We have several good farms in the fine farming section out towards Anniston; a nice, sandy, rich loam place near the we'll known health resort of Sulphur Springs. which has a good orchard, and can be had at a very cheap rental Out on the Central of Georgia, near Birmingham, we have about six good farms, good water fine pastures and rich land, on 1 very reasonable terms.
 ] Near Bessemer is a good small farm 1 for a good tenant. Then west of Bir- mingham we have some large tracts, some hills and some bottom land. Over I in Cullman county we have an appltca- | tion from a landowner who desires white tenant. Also, we have listed one fine place down in the alfalfa black belt l country.
 | There have never been such induce ments to man to become independent OH the Idrm as now, ana DJ Cdi4iiS | at this office he can take his choice of location and thus serve himself and l help in feeding a starving world at tho same time
 'The nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals will be finished within 50 days, and be- | gin the great work of making cheaper | fertilizers. Instead of trying to rob | the farming sections of laborers, the Uni ted states employment service is devot-
 ing special attention to the recruiting of
 sufficient help to cultivate every avail able acre of land in the state, and urges | every man, especially those with fami- lies, who is interested in securing suit able home on the farm, to make appli- cation at the local office of the United | States employment service at 20l2 First
 avenue, Birmingham"
 PEACE SOLDIERS HERE l Fred E. Perry, examiner in charge of clerical help at the local federal en- ployment office, stated yesterday that he
 was making special effort to place all
 the soldiers, seeking positions here, upon their discharge from the army. Not only is he interesting himself in the Jeffer-
 son county boys who went into the army,
 but in all others, wherever their former l homes.
 | q have information that several thou | sand of the boys at Camp Mcclellan, An-
 niston, will be discharged within few days and that many of these. want to
 stay in the south," said MT Perry yes-
 terday. q have already begun can- vass among Birmingham business insti- 1 tutions with the view to placing them l as soon as they get their discharge ] papers I have met with considerable | success so far, and believe that work l can be found for all who want to come here Cooperation of the merchants and
 manufacturers is essential, however, and I hope all who need help will advise me to that effect and the kind of help they need and the number of men they can employ.
