COUNTY AGRICULTURISTS
BY o. NJ. Plummer.

During the past year the writer
has had an opportunity of Investigate
ing the work of county agriculturists
or county agents, in this western
country particularly. He has talked
with the national leaders along this
line, as we'll as with many of the
state and county men. That the
county agent Is making good In all
parts of the country goes without
saying. No county, once having
made an appropriation for an agent
and having given it a fair trial, would
think of doing away with the office.
The newspapers of different states
nre very glad TO give good space to
the weekly reports OF the county
agents and much valuable informa-
ton is being distributed all the time.
1t is only question of time, and a
very short time at that, until every
county in the United States will have,
not only an agent, but assistant
agents as well. At the present time
the demand for these men far ex-
ceeds the supply-the people having
in charge their selection being very
careful that those whom they ap-
point are capable of making good.
In the budget which will be passed
by the county commissioners shortly
will be found no item which will be
a better investment than that set
aside for the purpose of cooperating
with the federal government in the
of this work. The time
will come, and very soon, when pros

pective settlers will inquire first of
all things whether or not the county
in which they desire to make their
home has county agent.
If they should find it has not.
surely they will look elsewhere. The
taxpayers of no county are going to
sit idly by for any length of time and
ahead because of these selfsame
agents, while their county stands
still, therefore every taxpayer should
take occasion at once to write to
their county commissioners compli-
menting them for their support of
the county agent plan, or, in case
they have no county agent, request
ing that they give good consideration
to the proposition at the time the
budget is made up. No board of
county commissioners can do a great
er service for their county during
their term of Office than establish a
precedent along this line, for every
dollar invested by the taxpayers will
be returned to them MANIFOLD. Let
county commissioners, where there
are no agents, get in touch with their
colleagues in other counties, while
those county commissioners who
thoroughly endorse the plan can do
no greater service to the state than
to write to other county commission
ers telling of their success. Let's
make this a Coast-Wide issue to the
end that our Pacific Slope may be
recognized as being way in the lead
in all constructive work which has to
do with the upbuilding of rural COM
munities. The bankers and business
men of the large centers of popula-
ton have been quick to realize the
Importance of this county agent
movement and have in every case
heartily endorsed the work and have
been more than glad to carry their
share Of the taxation.
