COUNTY AGENTS NEEDS ORGAN

iyYASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 24.-That
the active cooperation, advice and as
sfstance of farmers themselves is nee
aessary to the success of county agent
work is one of the most important les
SONS impressed upon officials of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture after six years of experience with
this work in the northern and western
states. The best means of securing
this local support has proved to be
the establishment of county organi-
xation usually known as farm bureau.
To enable the county agent and local
farmers to organize and conduct a
farm bureau most effectively, the de-
ipartment has just published detailed
suggestions as to methods Of proceed
ure in guide known as Handbook
on Farm Bureau Organization for
County Agricultural Agents" The plan
represents the fruit of experience in
this field thus far, it is said. 1t can be
adapted readily to the varying condi-
tiOns of different counties. 1t may be
established in counties having ineffl-
cient organizations, in counties conf

The chief functions of farm bur-
eau, as outlined in the handbook are:
(D To coordinate the efforts Of ex-
isting local agricultural forces, either
4 organized or unorganized, and to or
ganize new lines of effort. 1t does not
u supplant any existing organizations or
compete with them, but establishes a
clearing house through which all may
increase their efficiency without in any
way surrendering their individuality.
(2) To bring to the agent the coun-

The Pirates are the youngest ball
club In the major leagues. In point Of
average. There are only 1--WE or three
veterans on the entire roster. Most
of the players have not reached their
t~wenty-ffth year.
Some time ago Barney Dreyfuss de.
cldcd that the only way to build up a
ground floor and remnke the whole
structure. He decided to get rid Of as
many old-timers ms possible, many OF
whom were hanging on by their rec
ords, rather than by their accomplish
ments up to the minute.
He notified his scouts to look about
for young men with II future, and de-
cided to cut out the practice of buying
players with n past, but with small
prospects ahead OF them. which had
been popular here during the Clarke
regime.
The result has been that for a year
the Pittsburgh team has been under
going almost complete reconstruction,
Thus far rot much has been accom-

feel that now they have the nucleus
