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. hmuiio lui liild any fwiuers’ o lioVno qil( HOW TO CAN BEANS.

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.
