course at A. & M. College, Powder
Springs. ;
‘Two boys were sent to the short
course at State Agricultural College.
.Two boys were sent to the short
course at Atlanta Fair.
. These short courses were won by
club boys and did not cost the boys
anything at all.
The Cobb county agricultural ex
hibit won first prize at Atlanta Fair.
Cobb county pig clug advertised
the county not only in Georgia, but;
among hog men all over the United
States.
The veterinary work I have done
in Cobb would have cost at least
$2,000.
Tour pigs that died from inocula
tion were replaced by me personally.
My expenses in running a Ford and
other expenses directly connected
with the work have been over $BOO.
Your board paid me last year $BOO.
Are you going to re-employ me this
year and give me $1000?
1 go to Athens to agents’ confer
ence on January sth. It is necessary
that I know the action of your board
while there, so if I am not wanted
in Cobb county I can be assigned to
some other county.
I thank you gentlemen of the board
and your clerk for past favors and
courtesies.
Respectfully,
D. E. SAWYER,
County Agent.
Marietta, Ga., January 1, 1919.
Provided I am re-employed for this
year as demonstration agent, I ask
your co-operation.
Last year with the boards help we
organized an advisory board to help
in the demonstration work.
. The authorities at Washington and
Athens insist on having a county or
\ganization that will advise with and
‘help the county agent. Such a board
(one that will work) can double the
efficiency of the county agent.
I am suggesting that we reorgan
ize this year and am submitting a
list of names of men that I would
like for you to appoint to serve on
that board, or if, in your judgment,
there are others more suitable, ap
point them.
The object of the advisory board
is to meet with the county agent to
advise and plan the work together
with a view of making the demonstra
tion work more effective. By having
an organized board back of me I
will be able to more than double the
work done another year.
