BANKERS AND AGRICULTURE
Pig and Calf Clubs Fostered-Mney
Available for Livestock Cubs.

Bankers of many States are taking
an active part in fostering boys pig
clubs, and other farm activities for
both boys and girls. Indiana bank
ers. for example, are cooperating with
State club leaders and county club sup
ervisors and are furnishing money for
livestock clubs, the money to be
spent in buying pure-bred or high
grade animals. They say that their
communities need all of such stock
that can Re got, and they realize the
need OF good producers of milk, OF
meat, and of wool. The securing of
such stock is bound to be to their adj
vantage in the long run. because it
means more prosperity for the farm
ers. The prosperity or the adversely
of the town, they have found out, is
lastingly bound up with that of the
farmers of the town, and they are do
ing what they can, in Indiana and
elsewhere, to bring about an era of
pure-bred animals on every farm.
In Chemung County, n. y, the
bankers, mainly in Elmira, the county
seat. have advanced money for the
purchase of 40 pure-bred Holstein
calves at $l20 apiece, to be used in
connection with calf clubs. In Neb-
raska the bankers have not only been
willing to furnish money for the hire
of much needed farm labor but have
themselves into employ
ment bureaus to help get the labor it
self, which the farmer must have.
Much of this work OF cooperation
between city and country interests
has been fostered by the club leaders
and county agents employed coop
eratively by the State, the Nation, and
by the farmers and business men
themselves.

COUNTY AGENT NEEDS
ORGANIZED BACKING.

That the active cooperation, ad-
vice and assistance of farmers them
selves is necessary to the success Of
county agent work is one OF the most
important lessons impressed upon Of
hcials Of the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture after six years of
experience with this work in the
northern and western States The
best means Of securing this local sup
port has proved to be the establish
ment of county organization usually
known as farm bureau.
To enable the county agent an do
cal farmers to organize and conduct a
farm bureau most effectively. the de-
partment has just published detailed
suggestions as to methods of proceed
ure in a 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 con-
ditions of different counties. 1t may
be established in counties contemplate
ing the employment of an agent and
in places where the agent is now UNI
supported by local organization.

The Work Defined.
County agent work, according to the
definition given by the department, is
an organized method of carrying on
agricultural extension in county
through permanent leader chosen
locally and representing the State
college of agriculture, the Federal
and also the farmers act
ing through local organization us
ually known as a farm buraeu.
The County Agent.
The keystone of the whole struc-
ture is the county agent, whose posi-
ton, says the department, is essential
ly one OF leadership. He must have
mature judgement, sympathy with
farm problems, enthusiasm for farm
life, knowledge of the farmer mind,
clearness OF thought and expression.
tact, resourcefulness. farm experience,
industry, good health, practical and
scientific knowledge of agriculture.
These requirements are high, say
those in charge of the work, because it
takes high class man to swing the
job.
