county agent Is not hired, it will con-
tinue to pay $400 and receive nothing,
but If the agent is employed, the
county will again receive $1,000 an
nually from the state in return for
the $400 taxes.
The old trustees apparently had
nothing to do with the refusal of the
board to accept the county agent
However, since the election deter
mined who the new trustees will be,
strenuous personal work has been 60
ing on, even to the extent of enter
tainments for the men who will hold
the votes after the present incumbents
leave office.
Drop Matter Now.
The new board returned report
that the resolution which provided for
the caucus would be concurred in.
This resolution was to the effect that
the county agent matter should be
dropped now and taken up for dis
cussion again at the meeting in May.
Jesse Stevens. a we'll known hOrti-
culturalist and for years regarded as
the best corn grower in the state, de-
clartu that he had secured for himself
Il statewide reputation as the cnamp-
ion liar because he had grown 100
bushels of corn to the acre.
Joe Helms who took my place has
+ the same reputation Mr.. Stevens de-
! clared. only a few of us high class
/ agriculturalists can see the value OF
! spending dollar on specialist but
! the farmer, the man at the plow who
cannot raise forty bushels of corn tC
! the acre, and says it was a dry spell
| that caused the small crop, will swear
to you he knows more about farming
than a trained man.
The question before the farmers is
Are you willing to back up an agent
accept his science and throw away
= your ignOrance?' Put to vote in this
county, ninety per cent Of the farm
ers would say. 'NO!' and continue tC
raise small crops. That's the bunch
who need an agent to help them.
Shows His Value.
The state head of county agents
Mr.. Coleman declared that county
, agent would be considered successful

the yield of corn one bushel an acre
