Why a County Agent?
Synopsis Of His Job

Marshall county has within its bor-
ders, including towns. sss,e4o acres Of
land II we should value the land at
an average of $3.50 an acre, and allow
s2,500 per quarter section for live stock
and machinery, the farm capitalization
of the county would total $6l, o56.0O0.
We have approximately 1000 farms
and each farm Is a mine or a factory.
This Immense business Is conducted
without single efficiency expert, and
with scarcely single effort toward
CO.. operation. Any other business of SIM
liar magnitude would employ not one.
but many, efficiency experts to eliml-
nate waste and aid in obtaining the
greatest possible results from every
effort A county agent Is an efficiency
expect. Not that one man is expert
in ali lines, but that thru great state
and national system he secures at the
proper time the needed experts.
Some counties now employ two
county agents. A former Marshall
county man. now a resident of Black
Hawk county, which has county agent
Is SO enthusiastic of the benefits de-
rived, and sees so much to be done,
that he predicts we will some day have
township agents. This emphasizes the
fact that it is the man who is without
first hand information that opposes
the movement.
1t has been stated that the greatest
work of the county agent Ia to promote
CO. cooperation. Two thousand farmers
pulling separately accomplish much
less than. If they pull together. There
are many lines along which cooper
alton could well be promoted. few

greater sowing of clover and alfalfa,
aid in securing good seed, especially
clover seed, better breeding of live
stock and the marketing of same, Sc
curing just freight rates, betterment OF
shipping conditions at nearly every
stock yard in the county, forming COW
testing associations, dairies and cream
cries, eradication Of hog cholera, adj
vancement of farmers cooperative as
sociations already founded. and let us
not forget the boys and girls club
work and the education, social and
moral cooperation most essential of
all.
We as farmers often know what is
good to be done, but fail to do it. The
county agent is nearby aid to help us
in doing better the things we already
know it is we'll to do. Remember your
farm is either mine or a factory

PALMETTO CREiMERIES
WILL MAKE ICE CREAM

Clemson College, S. c., Feb. 49,
The consumption OF ice cream in the
United States is increasing very rap
i6iy- During the last seven years the
increase has been over 100 per cent.
The revenue derived from the sale of
ice cream equals the revenue from the
sale of cheese and butter. This in
crease is due not only to the fact that
:;e cream is very palatable and re-
treshing. but because people are res
izing that it has high food value as
74elI.
Another factor that has encouraged
the increased consumption is the
change which is taking place in the
manufacturing and distribution meth
0ds. Formerly each corner drug
store made its own ice cream and the
quality varied greatly. In the last
few years ice cream factories using
sanitary methods, making ice cream
-af standard grade and high quality
have been established.
Realizing the Importance of the ice
cream industry to the State the Glenn
son College Creamery has recently
snstalled ice cream machinery and
Earring the coming season will make
:sunne of the dairy products which it
receives from the patrons into ice
cream. In adding this branch of the
Gai1y business two classes of people
will be served; the consumer who will
be assured Of product both sanitary
and of high quality, and the farmer
|ho will derive more revenue from
the sale OF his dairy products.
"a high quality for Palmetto Ice
Cream will be established and will
compare with the quality which has
been maintained for Palmetto State
butter 1t is the purpose of the Ex-
'&ezssion Division to encourage the
manufacture of ice cream in all the
e-cEsameries of the State.
