half the salary of the demonstration
agent and nearly half that of the can
ning'club agent is paid by the United
States government. But the govern
ment will not help those who refuse to
help themselves. W must put up our
part or lose the part available for gov.
eminent services. This county has had a

has been paid $1,000 by the county court

would say he has not been worth many
times this sum? If you will only look
at the excellent plots of clovers and

grains thruout the county he cannot

has been worth the $1,000. Besides
these he has supervised and directed
the planting and cultivation of plots of
corn and cotton that have made most
surprising yields, thereby returning to
these farmers largely increased profits.
beside giving them the training that
will enable them to continue more
profitable farming. Next year the
agent will cost Fayette county but
5000 and the court will Lbe asked to pay |
$500 as in other years, and The Falcon
is ready to guarantee the additional
Sl00 by pnbfc subscription. Are we
going to discontinue the services of the
agent at this critical time just when
the. boil weevil makes necessary CON-

good stock and diversified crops, but to
a majority of farmers in this section
cotton must remain the principal money
crop, but these same farmers will have
to grow feed and food for their stock
and families instead of depending on
the supply man. And if every farmer
will look squarely at this condition he
will find himself this year in good
