Hioh TiIne for Action

The paving, or repair ng, OF that
lake of liquid mud, which was known
until several months ago as Lee
street but which is not now reterrea
to as street, ought not to pc neg

ell the mayor, the city engineer ana
the city super nIendent OF streets.
These various officials are mere
grouped together for the reason that
an are in a measure responsible lot
that foul and dangerous sea of mud,
where a horse Is liable TO be drowned
at any time and where pedestrians
are in constant danger of their NE
limbs and cloth ng.
That such mud hole should DC
allowed to exist is shame and
diserace to a civilized community
The mud hole ought to be converted
back into a street and at once. Here
tofore, it seems, too much regard tor

high time that some consideration
should be given 70 tho public o.

comfy Agricultural Agents.

County agr cultural agents are
sometimes referred to as county
advisers" This implies a mispnd err
standing OF the real work OF the
agent. Advisory work Is part OF
the agents duties, but is minor
part. The county agricultural
agent has about half dozen prin-
pal functions:
CD He studies the agriculture
OF the county to learn what is beins
done and what is worth while agrl-
eulturally IN each part OF IT, Tn-s
study includes farm financial and Or
ganization surveys.
90 He gives the results Of ms ms
studies to farmers, not in the wayt OF
advice, but IN facts observed and con-
clus ons drawn. This IS done
tnrough the local press, lectures, IN
stftutes, circulars, short courses ana
personal interviews
49, Based on these local studies
and the ascertained needs OF the
county, c.1I'bs, associations and the
like are organized and the ind.yid-
uaIs solicited to undertake dehnlts
lines of agricultural Improvement on
their own farms. Organizations are
also formed for cooperative puyin6
5and marketing and the standardlZa-
ton OF farm products.
90 He endeavors to coordinate
all existing agricultural agencies
within the county, so that all may
work un teddy and efficiently.
(5) He develops local leadership
The task OF improving the agrlcuI-
ture of an entire county is so stu
pendous that the agent must be pri-
inarily an administrator. He must
inspire and accept the hep OF volun-
tary assistants IN work.
T6.J He acts as. the connecting
link between the scientists OF the re-
search institutions of the state and
nation and the farmer. presenting
the results of Investigations n such
q way that the farmer can use them.
and calling attention OF scientists 70
the local agricultural problems OF
the county and soliciting their assist
ance. -. -.
relate to spraying, seed treatment,
mixing fertilizers. combating insect
pests. cultural practices, or other
miscellaneous matters which are the
stock OF trade of every well-tnformed
agent. The giving of advice IS sew
enth on the list. because in actually
improving the ayr culture OF the
county it is probably of least import
ance, though in point of time 1t may
