three commissioners and manager

the question of the county agent pro,
gram they felt more than ever justified
in re-employing Mr.. Alfred. The way
the people rallied to Mr.. Alfred, both
personally and by petition, easily con-
vinced the board that he is the right
man in the right place and that he will
accomplish for the farming population
the second year much more than he was
able to do the first year. 1t is very
evident that the county agent program
is to be permanent one for this
county. ..-
