That the American Government is

County Agents Good Purse Filters.

According TO figures compiled by
Prof. Nat T. Frame OF the agricultural

during the past year as a result OF the
work being done by the county agents.
Ohio county profited TO the extent OF

the productive value of piece OF land
before and after the introduction or
scientific methods of farming. These
figures cover only the amount of ready
money that the state farmers can put
their hands on" as Prof. Frame
phrased it while in the city. He was
EN- route to Bethany to attend the
farmers short course school. In other
words, all the knowledge OF better
farming, better investment and a more
prudent system of handling resources,
together with the vast amount of 9TH

the agents. West Virginia farmers are

amount of money agents and extension
work cost the state il can still further
be seen that an investment is being
made that compares favorably with
That OF those who plunged in Bethle-
hem Steel few months ago. There
are 2S counties with farm agents and
the expense will average about 81 500
to the county. In brief, Prof. Frame
states that the cost to the state is con
siderably less than $4,000. Prof.
Frame says that prospects for contin.
