Sixty-two counties have made ap- propriations to help to pay the sal aries of i2s county agents, home demonstration agents and negro agents. As a result this state will lead all others in the number em- ployed in the work for better agri- culture. This stamp of approval put upon the work of the Agricul- tufal hsxtt.llsiun Division Of the Uai- versity of Arkansas led by w. c. Lasselter. director, shows that our people were alive to their oppor- tunity and willing to do their share to help develop She work as made possible by the recent increased federal appropriations. It also shows that our people recognize the value of scientific methods in farming and the business men are to be congratulated for their fore sight in realizing what the work will do for increased production and what increased production will do for better business. They have hacked up their judgment by boost ing the work and have demonstrated their sincerity by being willing to bear their share If the taxes to sup port the work.
