DETTER FARMING AGENTS
NOT CHIEFLY ADVISERS
Advlsery Work Is but l0l1or Pavt Of
Tho Agents Real Work

County agricultural agents
are sometimes referred to as
county advisers" This i'm
plies a misunderstanding of
the real work of the agent.
Advisory work is a part of the
agents duties, but is minor
part. The county agricultural
agent has about half a dozen
principal functions:
(D He studies the agricul-
ture of the county to learn
what is being done and what
is worth while agriculturally
in each part of it. This study
includes farm financial and
organization survey.
(2) He gives the results of
his studies to farmers, not in
the way of advice, but as facts
observed and conclusions
drawn. This is done through
the local press, lectures, instit-
utes, circulars, short courses
and personal interviews.
| (3) Based on these local stu
dies and the ascertained needs
of the county, clubs, associa
ton, and the like are organic
ed and the individuals solicited
to undertake definite lines of
agricultural improvement on
their own farms. Organiza-
tons are also formed for CO.
operative buying and market
ing and the Standardization of
farm products.
(4) He endeavors to co-ordi
nate all existing agricultural
agencies within the county. so
that all may work unitedly aud
efficiently.
% He develops local leader
ship. The task Of improving
ing the agriculture of an entire
county is so stupendous that
the agent must be primarily an
administrator. He must in
spire and accept the help of
voluntary assistants in work.
T., (6 He acts as the connect
ing link between the scientists
of the research institutions of
the state and nation and the
farmer, presenting the results
of Investigations in such a wav
that the farmer can use them,
and calling attention of scient.
lists to the local agricultural
problems of the county.
O He gives advice. This
may relate to spraying, seed
treatment, mixing fertilizers,
combating insect pests, cultur-
al practices or other miscellan-
eous matters which are the
stock in trade of every we'll
informed agent. The giving
of advice is seventh on the list,
because in actually improving
the agriculture of the county it
is probably of least importance.
though in point of time it may
be the first work undertaken.
