of county agent work. is one Of the
most important lessons impressed
upon officials of the United States
department of agriculture after six
years of experience with this work
in the northern and western states.
The best means of securing this
local support mas proved to be the
establishment OF a county organiza-
ton usually known as farm
bureau.

local farmers II organize and con

ing conditions Of different counties.
IT may be esta bIished in counties

through which all may increase
their efficiency without in any way
surrendering their individuality.

local machinery for easily and
