AGREE ON BAIRD
ASK THAT HE BE APPOINTED AS
COUNTY AGENT IN FARM DEM
ONSTRATION WORK.

After a lengthy discussion yester
opinions expressed pro and con, the
board OF county commissioners finally
agreed to endorse Jock" Baird for
the office of county demonstrator to
the state superintendent, and after
arriving at this conclusion Robert +.
Scivally, one of the members of the
state board of agriculture, was noti-
fled to wire W. d. Bentley that Mr.
Baird was the choice of the board and
that his appointment would be agree
able to them.
This puts an end to a lengthy con-
troversy that has been going on for
the past three weeks. For a time the
board of county commissioners was
divided and it seemed hopelessly so.
There were several applicants for the
position and it looked as If an agree
ment could never be reached and It
was believed that a man outside the
county would be selected by the state
agent for the place, but now that an
agreement has been reached by the
board it is thought by those who are
supposed to know that Mr.. Bentley
will comply with the wishes of the
county commissioners and appoint Mr..
Baird. Mr.. Baird is a successful far
mer of this section and will make 8
good man for the position. He has
one of the best farms in the county
and has made a success of it by the
application CT scientific methods.
