Give Our Soldiers a Place on North Carolina Farm, May 31, 1919

From the Hickory Daily Record, May 31, 1919

Give Our Soldiers a Place

On April 28th we mailed you a list showing the names of a number of soldier farmers who are anxious to obtain positions on North Carolina farms. We are now handing you a revised list of soldier farmers who wish positions on farms in North Carolina. Some of them desire to rent or buy. This list was referred to me by Mr. S.G. Rubinow of Raleigh, assistant to director, Co-Operative Extension work in Agriculture and Home Economics, State of North Carolina, with request that we assist him in locating these men. Many sections are in need of farm labor and almost every section would welcome young men who are able to buy a farm.

Please give this list all possibly publicity, and please do what you can to help these soldier farmers find suitable places.
