LONDON, Nov. 12.-The Bolsheviki
government" OF Russia is crumbling
| fast. 1t may already have crumbled
away.
MOSCOW Is once again restored to
control Of the provisional governme ent.
There Is every probability that the
expected clash between Kerensky's
loyal troops and the Trotsky-Lenine
factions Is now in progress.
Not since Sunday afternoon have
any detailed dispatches been received
here from Russia. And none since

This silence. as London interpreted 1t
today, betokened a battle. The last
word received from Petrograd direct

sky and his loyal government troops.
It also declared that even in the city
Itself, elements were banding to-
gether to oust the Trotsky-Lenine
usurpers OF power. London does not
expect the Bolsheviki to put UP much
of fight. They are constitutionally
not fighting men. They would not
stomach a contest where the forces
arrayed against them were nearly
their equal in number.
Despite the Kaleidoscope changes
and uncertainty Of information from
various Russian sources, the London
press reflected a more cheerful atti-
pressed everywhere that Kerensky Had
once again recovered his initial
strength.
Loyal officers Of the army are known
to be plentifully sprinkled, probably
doing their best in lining UP Keren-
sky's forces against the revolution
lists. One dispatch from Moscow told
Of certain troops ordered to entrain

mutinied and attempted to halt pas

soldiers toward Petrograd.

gh it. Any other plan is inefficient
and consequently should not be toll
Grated. Every county agent, then,
should be a real leader of organized
farmers as well as man of techni-
cal and practical training. Our pre-
sent agents are almost a unit in this
belief.
Under this plan OF organization
the Bureau directors assist the coun-
ty agent in choosing a general pro-
gram of work for the year and in
designating a few of the most de-
serving lines of work upon which
special effort Is to be conferred
These are outlined in detail by the
agent, giving the methods to be ad-
opted in their execution, and ap-
proved by the Bureau. All cooper
ating forces then unite in a deter
mined effort to get the work done.
During the present fiscal year
ending June 80. 1917, the net in
crease in crop production due to the
county agents efforts, considering
only the results obtained from de-
finite demonstrations upon which
careful records were kept, amounted
to $109,2S2. In addition to this,
double the number OF acres were car
ed for under the immediate direc-
ton of the agents in which the
same methods were used but upon
which no check plats were kept.
Assuming that the increase was on
ly per cent of the other farms, the
net increase amounts to S108,000,
making a total of $217,2S2 added
to the states income. This is but a
small portion of the real results be-
cause the vast majority of work
done could not be practically meas
ured.
The above figures include results
from only $50 farms while the
agents assisted 1922 additional far
mers by personal visits. An aver
age of three visits were made to each
farm during the year to aid with
their farm problems. More than
20, 900 persons were reached through
farmers meetings.
The above mentioned figures are
given merely to indicate the real
efficiency of the county agent sys-
tenn. 1t embodles the mobilization
Of all scientific and practical forces

David Sharp resigned from Iron
county in 1915 and Alma Esplin was
appointed July 1. 1916.
The Utah county agent resigned
in April and c. w. Lindsay was ap-
pointed in June, 1916. The Sewer
county position was left vacant by
the transfer of Lorin A. Merrill to
the office. and w. w. Owens was ap-

r. w. Stewart was transferred

pointed to succeed him.
From a system Of miscellaneous
farm visits and promiscuous meet
ings resembling that of farm doc
tor, the work has evolved into a
thoroughly organized system OF
county agent work, intensified by
a chain of County Farm Bureau or
CARNATIONS enlisted in the same
great cause. This line of work was
very uphill proposition in the
early stages but it has slowly forg

DR.. Robert J. Evans, Of the Exten-
sion Division Of the Utah Agricultur-
al College. state leader Of county
agents, reviews briefly the history
of the county agent movement in
Utah as follows. in q report Of the
years work recently issued:
County agent work was begun in
Utah January 1, 1913. when the
present state leader was appointed
to take charge. representing the Ex-
tension Division Of the Utah Agri-
cultural College and the office Of
Farm Management Of the U. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture.
No funds were available for plac-
ing agents in the field at the time
but were appropriated by the State
Legislature in 1913. 1t made avail
able $4,000 for use in 1913 begin
ming July 1st, this amount to be in
creased by $4,000 annually until a
total of $4,000 was reached.
On July LIST the two cooperating
institutions obtained the additional
cooperation of several counties, and
agents were placed in the following
districts: r. H. Stewart in Carbon
and Emery counties, ]. p. WEIGH in
Willard County, w. ]. Glenn in the
Uinta Basin. David Sharp. Jr. in
Iron county, and Miss Amy Lyman
in Sanpete county, as home agent.
On August 1, 1913, Sewer county
was added to the list with Lorin A.
Merrill as agent.
In 1914 H. J. Webb was appoint
ed in Salt Lake county on July list.

part of his time. to county agent
work.
Two agents resigned during the
year. two others were transferred,
and four new men appointed to fill
the vacancies.
Very much closer cooperation has
been brought about between the
county agents and the specialists.
largely through the reorganization.
by which both forces now operate in
the same department. County pro-
jects this year are being executed
jointly by the county agent and the
specialist through the medium Of the
County Farm Bureau.
The County Farm Bureau is
membership organization Of farmers
and others interested in agricultural
development. Its primary purpose is
to cooperate with the Agricultural
College and the U. 8. Department of
Agriculture in supporting county
agent work to the end that the farm
ing industries OF the county may
reach the high standard Of develop
ment they deserve. 1t works to in
crease the production from the farm.
to standardize these products, to re-
ceive a just reward for them. and
generally assist in the improvement
of home. school and social conditions
Through its local branches 1t reach
es every farmer in the county.
There has developed real spirit
of progress in most Of these organ
izations and they now realize their
real mission of Importance. The
membership has materially increased
with every little effort on the part
of the officers. There are now six
counties fully organized, and all
others are in the process of forma-
ton.
Utah county has led out with the
publication of monthly Farm
Bureau News" devoted entirely to
local needs and practices. Salt Lake
and Weber counties are to follow in
the same work.
So important have these county
Farm Bureau organizations become
to the county agent that we are led
to believe very strongly that no
county agent should be placed in the
field until an effective working or.
ganization is formed to support him
The work of the past year has de.
monstrated conclusively that the ag.
ent without such an organization is
so seriously handicapped that he
should be required to plan and ex.
ecute his work in the future throu
