Letter From MIR. Sandy.
Burkeyille. Va. Feb. S

Burkeville, Va, Feb. 8.
Dear Sir:
l have your letter of the 5th, and l
note what you say in regard to Il
demonstration agent for Tazewell
county. / wish you had given me a
little more time, so that / could have
gotten Mr.. w. p. Moore, our district
agent in that territory, to meet your
board of supervisors tomorrow. He
could have given you all the informa-
tion in every way. However, | will
see If l cannot reach him by wire to-
day and get him at your place tomor-
row.
hope your people will be interested
in demonstration work. We have now
in the demonstration work in this state
fifty-two counties. These men are
doing a great work, and the way
demonstration work is growing it will
not be but a few years before every
county in the State of Virginia will
be in it. There never was a time
when the farmers of Virginia need
more help along agricultural lines
than today. The United States gov
ernment has realized this and is put
ting up for demonstration work in
| this State this year $4,000 to carry
it on, but the counties have to dc
their part by putting up like amount
Now, if Mr.. Moore does not gel
there tomorrow, / will say that ii
will be impossible for us to put man
there for less than $1,000 year to dc
this work, and we have all found out
that the better the man is the more
money we have to pay him and the
more work he can accomplish. So
would suggest to you gentlemen
who are interested in it to get youl
board of supervisors to put up $4,000
per month for this work during the
year and our department will put VI
$4,000 per month to match this, max
ing s16O per month for the man to d,
the work.
Very truly yours,
| T. o. SANDY,
/ State Agent.

COUNTY WILL HAVE
A DEMONSTRATOR
Board of Supervisors Vote Ap.
priation to Get Expert to Show
Tazewell People How to Run
Farms and Grow Cattle.

Tazewell County is to have a Coun-
ty Demonstration. 1t was so decided
on Tuesday at meeting of represen-
tative citizens of the county, held in
the Courthouse in connection with the
regular monthly meeting of the Board
of Supervisors.
Mr.. H. S. Bowen offered the resolu-
tion that the Board of Supervisors
be requested to make the necessary
appropriation, etc., which resolution
was seconded by Robert Moss, and j
rising vote taken. The resolution was
adopted unanimously except by some
three or four votes against it.
The salary of the demonstrator,
who will be recommended by the
State Agricultural College at Blacks
burg, will be $1OO per month, only
half of which the county will pay
The other half will be paid by the
Agricultural Demonstration Bureau
The meeting was called as announc-
ed in this paper last week, upon the
suggestion of Chairman ID. B. Dan
iels, for the purpose of obtaining the
expression OF opinion from the farm
ers and taxpayers of the county, in
order that the Board might have
something definite upon which to base
their action. There was quite large
number present at 80 o'clock, when
the meeting was called to order.
By request of Chairman Daniels
Mr.. l.. A. Tynes called the meeting to
order, and in stating the object of the
meeting, made some timely remarks
on the subject of farming generally,
and the need of some one to "teach
us how to grow better and larger
crops" Mr.. w. r. Moore, who has
charge of the demonstration work III
the district, was present and was in
troduced. He stated that he had read
the call for this meeting in the Clinch
Valley News, while in Wise county,
and had also received wire from L.
o. Sandy, State Demonstration, to
come to Tazewell and appear before
the meeting and give any information
desired. He made statement Of the
work in the State, saying that some
sixty of the 100 counties In the State
have now demonstrators, and that all
of them are doing good and satisfac-
tory work. He was asked number
of questions by persons in the au-
dience, in regard to the work of a
demonstration.
Messrs. Robert Moss, H. S. Bowen,
DR.. Isaac Pierce and others made
very interesting talks favoring the
appointment. There were about two
speeches against.
The motion to adopt the resolution
favoring the appointment was adopt
ed as stated above.
The Board of Supervisors entered
an order that the Commonwealth
Attorney take up the matter with the
proper authorities, and close the mat
ter up as soon as practicable.

Appointment of Demonstrator--
How and Who?

The question now of Importance is,
who will we have for county demon
strator? 1t all depends now, say the
people, ON what kind of man is en-
ployed.. A novice, man without eX-
perience or prudent, sound judgment,
would not suit this territory. The
very best man possible is what the
county demands. People are not at
all unwilling to employ young law
yer, doctor, or even preacher, but
when it comes to farming a young
man wont do at all. We: all know
more now-in fact, have forgotten
more than youngster knows. So,
we are expecting and demanding a
man who knows more than the av-
erage farmer. However, the board
and those who have the matter in
hand, will do the best they can, and
too much should not be expected. 1t
is supposed that the appointment will
come through the State authorities
at Blacksburg and Mr.. Sandy, the
State demonstration agent. Upon re-
quest and guarantee of salary a man
will be recommended to the Board
here, and if acceptable to the Board,
the appointment will be made.
This is the course supposed to be
taken in the matter. Nothing was
said about this feature of the case on
Tuesday. If the people here had a
suitable man or a preference in the
matter, they would have the right to
suggest or ask for his appointment
but up to this time no suggestion has
been made except that the demonstra-
tor should come from another State
where conditions are as nearly like
our as possible.
May a good man be chosen quick
ly, and may kind Providence have
mercy on him.

ceived in the Clinch Valley News Office
