THE FARM ADVISOR.

THE FARM ADVISOR.
The office of farm management of
the department of agriculture at
Washington advises that laws be pass
ed by the states permitting county
boards to pay the salaries of farm
advisors. That might be a good thing
and then again it might prove a bad
thing. Unless some arrangement is
made to keep the selection of the adj
visor out of politics it would be a bad
thing If the county should pay the
salaries it would not be long until
there would be a demand of the poll
ticfans that the county boards should
appoint the officer or that the office
be an elective one and then where
would the farmers be? knowledge OF
soils then wouldn't be half so impor-
tant to the advisors IS knowledge of
