FARM AGENT

MARSHALL CO.
HIGHLY COMPETENT DEMON
STRATOR DISCUSSED LOCAL
SITUATION. MARSHALL COUNTY
APPRECIATES HIS SERVICES.

II. Garland Of Madill, farm demon
stration agent Of Marshall county, was
in the city today en- route to his home
from Oklahoma City where he had
been on official business.
MIR. Garland is considered one of
the best demonstration agents in the
state and so well is his service looked
upon that he has received many flat
tering offers from Texas counties just
over the border.
In speaking Of the work this morn
ing, Mr.. Garland stated that he re-
GREETED that Carter county was going
to be without a demonstrator for even
part of the year as he considered
nothing Of more real value to any
county than real scientific farming.
"All wealth comes from the soil" said
Mr. Garland. "and if by the eXpendi-
ture of a few hundred dollars by the
tax payers of the county, aided by the
appropriation from the federal govern
ment will cause a greater increase in
the crops and a greater value of farm
lands then it looks to me as if it
would be good business policy to en-
ploy one. Mr.. Garland has been en-
gagged in the work in Marshall county
for a number of years, and the tax
payers there would not think of part
ing with his services under any cir
cumstances. Just what action will be
taken here, has not been decided upon
by the commissioners and the cham
Der of commerce. There seems to be
but one course. and that is for the
chamber of commerce to put up the
money until the end of the fiscal year
when the levy will be available, other
wise the county will have to do with
out a demonstration agent until that
time.

AS SOON AS DEPUTY BAL.LEW is
ABLE TO TESTIFY, THE CASE
WILL BE GIVEN A THOROUGH
PROBE BY THE OFFICIALS.

As soon as deputy sheriff Bud Bal.
lew Is able to leave the sanitarium,
the unfortunate shooting of yesterday
will be thoroughly probed and the
blame If any, fixed, according to a
statement of county attorney Hardy
this morning. Mr.. Ballew is getting
along as we'll as could be expected un-
der the circumstances, and the attend

as to his ultimate recovery but he
spent very restless night and was
suffering considerable pain The other
principals of the affair are not making
any statement nor will they until the
investigation is held, when the facts
will probably be made known.
The entire city and community re-
grets the sad affair and none more so
than the officers who were involved.
Arch Campbell was known to all of
them for many years, and at many
times he has been associated with
them as an officer. They regret exceed
ingly the circumstances that com
PEELED his death, but state that under
the circumstances there was no alter
native for them to pursue.
