County Agent Warrlner Nav 81
Moved from Shenandoah.

4
/ District Agent. W. s. CampHeld. o
staunton. who has charge of th'
Farm Demonstration Work In eigh
teen counties of this State, including
Shenandoah County, was In this sec
ton Friday visiting County Agent B
A. Warmer and expressed himsel
as much pleased with the progress o
the Demonstration Work In thu
County.
Mr.. Campfeld stated, however thai
II may be necessary TO move Mr.
Warriner from Shenandoah to anoth
er county because of the small amour
appropriated by the Board of Super
vlsors for the support of this work
Mr.. Campfield explained that The
Board only appropriated 5000. 90 anc
that the State and National Govern
ment put up like amount which
makes a total of $1,000. 90 for tbs
salary and expenses of Mr. Warriner
for the coming year. "This,' said
Mr.. Campfield, "may seem to some
people like sufficient salary but
when 1t is taken into consideration
that Mr.. Warmer must pay all OF
his expenses out of this sum, which
includes cost of running and the de-
probation of an automobile, amount
log TO nothing less than $500 90 per
year which together with Office rent
and other incidental expenses that an
Agent is called upon to meet. it will
be seen that there is a very small
amount left for living.'
Mr.. Campfeld also said ''Mr. War
riner is considered by the authorities
at Blacksburg and Washington to be
one of the very best County Agents
in Virginia and there are now some
fifteen counties waiting for good men
| many OF which are willing to pay Mr.,
Warriner more money than he is
getting here"
To show what other counties are
doing Mr.. Campfeld stated that Au-
gus,a County had put up 81, 10000 as
its share of the expense for an agent,
Alhemarle appropriated 100000.
Bath 100000, and Allegheny
| 81, 1000 He said, eff such counties
as the last two mentioned can raise
those amounts for the work it is be-
You'd a question that this rich and
prosperous County could give Mr..
Warriner $4,000 or $4,000 as it's
share thus providing him with sal
airy somewhat in proportion to his
worth"
1t is understood that the Depart
ment will leave Mr.. Warriner in this
County until after the meeting of the
Board of Supervisors in December.
and that they will be asked to cpu
slider making an additional appropri
alton sufficient to ensure Mr. War
riner salary equal to what other
counties are willing to pay him.
Mr. Campfield says that it will be
very unwise to stop the work in the
County at this time as Mir. Warmer
is just getting it we'll started and that
the next two years will bring a much
greater increase in the results accom-
plished. The farmers are just begin
ming to realize the value of the work
and Mr.. Warmer Is now well &C
Quainted and in the very best position
to do real effectual work.
