demonstration the following week and
the arrangements are completed. An
other man wants to know what fer
tilizer is best suited for his corn
this year. He explains the nature Of
his soil and gets an analysis of ferti-
lizer which will give him the best
results. Other inquiries are made and
answered.
Part of the afternoon is spent in
advertising the Wayne county Corn
growing contest in the vicinity of
Cambridge City. Returning to his Of
Ace late in the afternoon, Mr.. Cobb
finds a letter from school boys at
Webster giving results of seed corn
testing he started there in February.
This letter is answered, with addition
al instructions. While waiting for an
interurban, farmer from Williams
burg halls him and enters into a dis
cussion regarding some pure strain
horses he is raising, and keeps the
county agent long enough to make
him miss his car. The hour is not
spent unprofitably as other farmers
are met on the streets and advice and
suggestions given. Reaching home at
7:15 o'clock, Omer Young, president
of the Columbian Farmers associa-
ton calls on the telephone and asks
the county agent to speak before the
association meeting on Thursday
night.
Another call comes Wednesday
morning from members of the Column
bian association. Getting out his ma
chine, the agent succeeds in getting
over the marlborough pike through
the deep ruts and over the piles OF
dirt that are being used in the road
making, and makes visits to -four
farms. He first notes the conditions
in an alfalfa field planted last fall,
and finds that poor soil has prevented
an excellent stand. although the good
care given it resulted in a fair stand
now and probably a fair crop later.
Another farm visited is that of one
the six successful women farmers o!
Wayne county. Advice is given as
| to fertilizer for crops and fruit trees
! Another farmer calls the county agent
regarding young calves, while another
has a new hog house completed and
ready for inspection.

morning office work, Mr.. Cobb is at a
