RELATION OF COUNfct '
AGENT TO PEOPLE—
By A. C. True, Director, State Relations
Service.
The copnty agricultural agent is a pub-
lie official whoso business is to inuko
, available in practical form the knowledge
of agricultural science as developed by
the State cxporiihont stations, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, and the re-
nults of the licet fnrm practice lie Is
ex]icctcd to show by field demonstrations,
publications,' and otherwise the applica
tion of such knowledge to local farm con-
• ditlons
The advantages of improved farm
practices ns demonstrated on tha most
successful farms in the county where the
agent Is employed are called to the at
tention of farmors in his territory. With
these demonstrations before them. Indi
vidual farmors are able to determine in
telligently tho oxtont to which they will
apply tho lessons of tho demonstrations
cotiductod by the agent,.
- The county ‘agent is an officer of the
State <’allege of Agrictdtnre and the
IT S. Department df Agriculture. He
may bo employed in co-operation with
the county government or the county
farmers’ organisations contributing to
Ids support anil aiding in Ids work. lie
is not, however, expected to act as tho
business agent of thostiidividuai farmer
or of groups of farmers in carrying'on
commercial transaijjwi. He is not in
any sense a IdrccLinnn, operating the
farmer's own farm ,enteritises.
Tito subjects on' wjlicli the county
ngont may give demonstrations or advice
nro as varied as the needs of the fnrm
population in hih county. It. is ids duty
to demonsfrata the application of agri
cultural science to soil innungciiiont nod
building, to the control of plant;'discuses
mid insect pests, to the Introduction of
better varieties of fnrm crops, and to im
provement la methods of feeding, breed
ing, anil earn of farm animals. Thn coo
Hondo iimnngeimmt of the farm ns a
Whole lo yield, the largest not returns, the
study of systems of marketing local farm
products, co-operatively anil otherwise,
are broader plumes of Ids diversified
work.
Ah a co-operative employee of the U.
8. Department of Agriculture, the Bthto
Agricultural College, and the county, the
county iigent ’s , first duty is to inform
hfanaelf as to how 'lie can intelligently
serve all the people of his county He
must get a general idea of conditions, pf'
tho local system of farming, the kind of
people he is to work with, and a knowl
edge bf soil conditions, lie must ineot.
with ropresentntivo farmors of tho coun
ty mid with them formulate' a definite
plan of work lii regard to their more
argent problems. \
As lie must omleijviir to rcncli ns many
of tlie pooplo ns possible!, nniOiel^ them
gram; to distinguish between essentials
and non-ensciitinls'under existing coiull-
tlons; to get people to help themselves,
mid to co-operate with thorn in such a
wny ns td secure tliolr assistance, mid to
assist thorn in mnk|ng and carrying out
tho general program.
While tho county agent’s position ami
duties mnko him the lender in agricul
tural matters, lie cannot fairly be ex
pected to be an expert on all agricultural
siilijcctA Ho should have a sufficl-mt
general knowledge to advise on tho lend
ing questions, and ho should know on
wlint specialist to call for help on tech
nical/ or difficult problems that may
arise.
Tiaiso in charge of co-opcmilvo exten
sion work, both in the C. 8. Department
of Agriculture and the agricultural /col
logos, believe that tho agents should as
sist the farmers of the county with every
problem connected with their business,
from the preparation of the soibsto tho
marketing of their products, I natur
al for the farmers to look to tho agent
us their agricultural advisor Mind loader
in marketing nH well ns production, and
to expect him to givo thorn Information
on questions of harvesting, grading, and
packing. For the,past two years the
markctlOg problem has been the moBt
vital one to all branches of agriculture.
It Is believed that it is logitiinutc and
proper for tho agent to encourage co
operative marketing, to obtain informa
tion ns to what products should bo worth,
where tho best markets may lie found,
and how these markets limy be reached
at tlie lonst expense to tho proilucor.
It would not bo proper for tho county
agent personally to engage in the buying
mid selling of the farmer's product*, to
handle funds in tho transaction, or to
offico ill marketing or other
organizations) but Aboro should
pifistion of Ids right to furnish
tlie very best information and to cncour-
ago in every way possible the farmers
who do those tilings for themselves
through some business liinungpr or co
operative association.

LETTER TO CLUB MEMBERS.
Dear Club Members: As we have

vegetables tlie year round, I feel that
you will see the importance of a fall nnd
winter garden.' You know,- with the
drouth that wo linve. experienced this
year, you will not linve enough canned
products for winter use; and, too, you
want to have some canned products for
sale, without depriving your needs. As
you noticed from Inst week’s garden
notes, there are a number of vegetables
you may plant now. Got them ready.
If you only linve n small* piece of
ground, plant something. If the veg
etables nro new to you plant them any
way, and learn how to cook them. Try
to hove something growing in the garden
tlie year round. In our cooking /Iossoub
wo shall sillily the preparation of these
vegetables you are not N familiar with,
if you linve' them. I am sending you
bulletin 180. “Vegetable Gardening.”
On page In you will find .ft vegetable
planting table,' showing tile time to
plant certain vegetables, the depth, etc.
Yon will also get sonje help from pages
3(1, 27 and 28 ill regard to garden dis
eases and their control.
Let every club girl plan for n fall
nnd winter garden, nnd just show what
can bo grown in our section of the
State.
Write mo that you not only will plan
to plant something, but that you have
something planted.
