Kansas City, No. Sept, 20. - De-
velopment OF the internal resources OF
the United States. rather than striv-
ing after foreign commences. was urged
as the greatest opportunity before this
country, in an address here today by
Joseph Hirsch. of Corpus, Christi, Tex,
before the annual convention Of the
American Bankers Association. Mr.
Hirsch, himself banker. is "A msmber
Of the associations agricultural com
mission and his address served as the
annual report Of that committee.
The work being done thruout the
United States, particularly in the
south, for the development Of agricul-
tural communities was outlined by Mr..
Hirsch. He spoke of improved condi-
tions-still inferior. however, he said.
to the countries Of Europe that prac-
tice intensified farming and told how
country farm advisers, agricultural as
sociations, boys and girls clubs. col
leges and schools and various crgani-
cations were instilling ideas of better
country life turnout the nation.
The agricultural betterment work
being done in practically every state in
the union was outlined by Mr.. Hirsch
and he declared that it was his hope
that soon every county in all the states
would have employed a farm demon
stration agent thru cooperation with
the federal department of agriculture.
This Gan be done, he said, by the
Smith!Lever act under which there
now is available 81, $4,000 but which
will increase half million dollars each
year until 1922 when it will have
reached s4.5S0,000, contingent upon
similar appropriations from the states.
Seventy FIVE demonstration agents
have bene employed in Indiana. Illinois
and Minnesota, and they hace immeas-
urably increased the wealth Of their
states. by development Of the dairying
and live stock INDUSTRIES he said.
These states have been foremost in
the development Of the consolidated
rural and agricultural high schools and
good roads movements
Michigan has more than fifty agrf-
cultural schools and Missouri has
done some remarkable county agent
work. Iowa, Nebraska. Kansas and
Oklahoma report increasing interest
in the work. Thru improved farming
methods, Kansas has become one of
the richest states in the union"
Mr.. Hirsch touched upon the work
being done by practically all the states
but it was of the south, however. OF
which Mr.. Hirsch spoke at the great
est length. Texas was declared to
have employed already more than 100
agents and bankers committee COM
posed of one member from each coun-
ty is fostering the improvement spirit.
Last year, the states cotton warehouse
capacity was increased by>more than
100000 bales, and statewide cam,
paign now is being conducted for in
creased live stock production.

ticularly active, because the need OF
agricultural development has come

press agent of the board Of regents,
however, quotes me as follows:

President Worst appeared and de-
manded his reelection for another
year, and frankly stated that he wish

might 'whack a few heads to torpedo
