MEN ARE EMPLOYED FOR PuR-
POSE OF AIDING FARMER IN
BETTER FARMING.
dispatches FROM RALEIGH
oo;nes and happenings That Mark
the Progress of North Carolina Peo'
,ra Gathered Around the State
Capitol.


c;x+v-pight county agricultural
,,,,r. are now employed by the
%o~th Carolina Agricultural Extension
l,.,,f-., in cooperation with the Uni
- states Department of Agriculture.
;, addition to this there are three dis
,,,iot agents into which the state has
,,oan divided for demonstration work.
This means that IS counties have an
onnorrunitv for it's farmers to find out
what the real meaning of the phrase
safe farming" is.
These men are employed for the pur
nose Of aiding the farmer to a better
Understanding of the agricultural prob
Ions which confront him in following
J diversified system Of agriculture and
as such he should be used by every
man who wishes his services. He
should be looked up, his name found
ont and a trial given him. This does
NOT mean that he is to vaccinate every
hog in the herd, prune every tree in
the orchard or spray every grape in
the vineyard. but he is to show by
actually doing the thing how it can be
done so that the farmer may be able
TO do it thereafter himself.
Every county in the state should
have a demonstration agent employed
and the people Of the county should
take the matter up with the commits
sjoners to see that they do get one.
North Carolina has 100 counties and 1t
needs 100 men employed in agricul-
ural demonstration work. Better
farming conditions always result wher-
ever an agent is employed. Some
times it happens that the agent does
not know what to do in a particular
case. but he does know where the in
formation can be had because behind
him in the trained force Of the Federal
Department of Agriculture, the State
Department of Agriculture, the College
of Agriculture and the Extension SER
vice ready to aid him at his call. This
is one thing that makes the agent as
valuable as he is.
