lieves in scientific farming and urged
each one to stand back of the Agri-
cultural schools and all other projects
for the betterment' of the community
in which they live. He then gave a
very pleasing description of his trip
through the state while officially Wis
iting the several subordinate oranges

terms of the work which is being
done by the county agents. Howard
