NTH COUNTY AGRICULTURIsT
Items of Interest From the Firing Line
In Colorado.

Colorado's list of county agricul-
turists includes four who answer to
the name Of Smith. They are often
called the Farm-Smiths of Colorado.
There is Smith of Las Animas. Smith
of Adams, Smith of the San Juan ba-
sin and Smith of Pueblo. So efficient
are these Smiths that it is said il is
now a distinct recommendation for a
man who applies for county agent
work in Colorado to bear the Smith
name. This merely goes to show that
these four Smiths are keeping up the
family is famous throughout the civil
lized world.
This article has to do with Stanley
V. Smith, Pueblo county. Stanley was
born on a farm in eastern Kansas.
When he was five years of age his
father was elected probate judge and
the family moved to town. Young
Stanley demurred. In spite of his ten
der years he felt that the farm was
his place and the neighbors say he
kicked up an awful fuss when he was
bundled into the surrey and taken to
town by his parents.
Fate was not to be thus thwarted,
for when the four-year term was up
Father Smith listened to Stanley's
pleading and took the whole family
back TO the old farm, where the boys
could chop wood, milk COWS. curry
the horses and help with the field
work until time came for them to go
to college. Each in urn was sent to
Kansas State Agricultural college at
Manhattan, where three of the boys
and one of the Smith girls were grad
uated. One Of the boys. upon gradua-
ton. entered the States Relations ser
vice as a county agent in Oregon, the
other is in the editorial department
OF the U. S. department of agricul-
ture.
Stanley Smith was compelled to
drop III of college three times, once
because of his fathers death and on
two other occasions because Of inan-
cial stringency. He taught country
school one year and saved enough to
get another year Of college. The sec
ond time he quit school he got a job
selling nursery stock in western Ne
braska and Kansas and eastern Colo
RADIO. Having specialized in horticul-
ture, he was able to tell the farmers
what kind OF trees to select for their
own conditions, how to plant them anC
how to care for them. He worked fol
a responsible house and he possessed
an old-fashioned farm conscience, con.
sequently he was able to go back t
the same district the following summer
and sell more trees. Now when h'
goes back owe his old territory anS
sees literally hundreds of thousand.
Of flourishing trees it gives him som
satisfaction of the sort that does no
always come to nursery statesmen
Most OF them are afraid to go back.
