Work of County Agriculturist

The work of a county agriculturist
would be q s0rdid affair indeed ii its
only purpose were TO help people make
more money, but il goes further than
this and aims to improve every feature
of life in the country including living
conditions and the social and religious
aspect of toe farmers life So with
the work last week, the value of the
activities should not be judged entirely
by the financial results it will bring to
the county, as the efforts Of the office
were chiefly confined to the household
engineering project which concerns the
health and sanitary engineering con-
ditions of rural life rather than the
financial aspect. Owing TO the excep.
tionally wet season which has prevail
ed this summer, this work has been
postponed from time to time, and it
was not until last week that the plans
made for it materialiZed. Mr.. Robey
of the Agricultural College has charge
of the work and all the parties whom
he has assisted testify TO his exception
al ability and knowledge of the sub
ject. statistics tend to show that such
diseases as typhoid fever are becoming
more prevalent in rural districts than
in the city, and the disposal of farm
sewage has come to be one of the most
important problems of country life.
1t is the purpose of the Farm Engineer
ing Department of the College to install
few septic tanks and water systems
in each county in Unconstitutional
way, then leave the further develop
ment of the work to local mechanics.
These are being installed for Angus
Mcintyre in Burtchville township,
Frank Warkmeister in Clyde township
and Arthur Hewitt in Grant township,
and it is planned to have meetings at
those places when the work is cOmplet-
ed so that Mr. Robey can explain the
work to others.
Another important event in the agri-
cultural affairs of the county was the
corn and wheat show at Sperry's store.
The quality and quantity of the exhib-
its exceeded the most liberal expecta-
tions of those who were promoting the
undertaking. Mr.. Ii. h. Larsen, Field
Agent for the Michigan Agricultural
College, was secured to Judge the dis
plays, and many favorable comments
were heard regarding his ability as a
Judge. 1t is the plan of this Office to
give such events as great an education
al value as possible, rather than the
development of something highly spec
tacular, and for this reason strong
effort was put forth to secure compe.
tent Judge. With ali efficient judge,
these shows are valuable factor in
teaching all who visit them the best
and most profitable type of product to
grow. G. l., Brody, County Agent

Oklahoma City, May 11.-Dr. W. d.
Bentley, director of extension and
state agent of the department of

with the cooperative demonstration
work of the Oklahoma department
and the federal department working
in conjunction. There are now forty
two counties of the seventy seven in
Oklahoma that employ county dem
onstration agents. Twenty-nine Of
the county agents are being paid
$1,000 year each: one receives ST.
400, one S1,650 and one but $1,000.
Onehalf of the pay of each agent is
supplied by the federal department
of agriculture, except in cases where
more than 81 200 a yea ris paid.
A woman assistant has been ap-
pointed to have charge of the dem
onstratiOn work for women and girls.
Seventeen women agents have been
employed at a salary of $75 a month
each, one-half of which is paid by
voluntary contributions in the sev-
eral counties. Twenty counties are
doing work for the girls and women
under direction of these women
agents. These counties are: Mus
kogee, Mcintosh, Kingfsher, Haskell,
Pontotoc, Greer, Jackson. Pottawat-
Omie, Grady, Logan, Lincoln, Okfus
kee, Beckham, Carter, Oklahoma,
Pittsburg, Noble, Kay, Garfield and
