DRAINAGE MEETING
The Home News is author
ized to announce that there
will be a meeting at McCrory
at one o’clock, next Tuesday,
April 2, for the purpose of dis
cussing and learning what has
been accomplished relative to
the digging of the Bayou De
View drainage ditch. The
commissioners and all tax pay

Miss Elise Smith, who is
teaching school near Cotton
Plant spent Saturday and Sun

Qrday, Thursday.
FROM PUMPKIN BEND
We had the pleasure of at
tending the meeting at Pump
kin Bend on the 17th. Quite
a crowd was present, some of
the leading citizens of McCro
ry being there for the purpose
of addressing the people on
the subject of food, feed and
saving proposition. Prof. Gray
Messrs. Walter W. Raney and
G. L. Carson and Mrs. F. Lew
is and others made interesting
talks which were highly ap
preciated. Some excellent
vocal music was rendered by
the Pumpkin Bend and New
Haven choirs and everyone
seemed to enjoy the entire
program.
Now we don’t supose anyone
doubts the patriotism of the
people of this vicinity. All
they need is to have their at
tention called to the needs of
the Government and they are
ready to respond as far as
their circumstances will per
mit. There is a large per cent
of people here as well as else
where who rent the land they
farm and have to plant their
crops according to the wishes
of the land owner.
I wonder if many of the
large land owners of the coun
ty haven’t thought it would
be a patriotic act to the gov
ernment as well as a kind act
toward the man behind the
plow to furnish him plenty of
land free of all rents to raise
all vegetables and garden
stuff needed for his immedi
ate family. Also plenty of
land for corn, oats, wheat, and
peas for hay, etc., at a reason
able rate, either cash or part
of the crop as may suit the
parties concerned. Also. di
vide the good and poor lands
for the cereal and the cotton
crop.
Neither would it be just to
ask the same cash rent for
the corn and hay land per acre
as the cotton might bring this
year or did last year. Patri
otism may be shown and prac
ticed in many ways. One of
the essential ways now is to let
the farming class be self-sup
porting by allowing them to
raise what they consume while
the war lasts.
We are glad to note that all
of the resident land owners
are making provisions here for
their men and hope all those
who reside elsewhere will do
the same. Now Is the time for
each individual to show his or
her patriotism at this time of
our country’s greatest need.
Let us help the man behind the
plow as we may want he or
his sons behind the gun.
