BINGHAM COUNTY is NOTED

Bingham county is noted for hav-

| has not fallen in line by hiring a
county agricultural agent to work
among the farms but has the task
going on without the hired agent.
| That it is being observed and that
results are expected, is shown by the
following letter from a busy man in
another state:
"Salt Lake City, Utah,

NO MORE POPULAR LADIES

Your Uncle Samuel and the postal
department have adjusted the postal
laws so there will not be many more
Of the so-called popular lady con-
tests to build circulation for news
papers In a circular letter issued
by the post office department on the
twenty-fifth of April, the rules are
laid down severely to shut out from
the mails as second class matter, all
publications offered for transmittal If
such circulation has been obtained
by giving premiums, heavy commits
sions, prizes, cut rates or any meth
cd that smacks of merely securing
circulation for it's own sake. And
hereafter, all subscriptions taken
under such arrangement must be dis
continued promptly when they ex-
pire unless the patrons renew.
That will be pretty hard on. the
publishers who keep their business
alive by getting girls to go out and
build circulation by their appeals on
sympathy and good looks.

the new ideas. The son and the
agent asked the father for an acre
of corn land right in the middle Of
the biggest field to work on. The
farmer refused at first, saying he
didn't want his boy messing up"
the field. Finally he consented, and
the boy and the agent proceeded to
mess up" their acre to the tune of
a sc bushel yield. The fathers crop
on the acres all around was 80 bus
hels. Next year he used the agents
methods on all his land and became
a volunteer co-operator.
Big Results Still Ahead
The demonstration work is al
ready showing large fruit, but the
really big results still lie in the flu
ture. The work will not be done I'M
til every farmer is using the methods
that only few of the more progress
sive farmers are using today, until
the home problems and educational
problems and social problems of
country life have been adjusted on
every farm.
The results of the work already
are greater than most people realize.
Last year there were over a million
demonstration acres planted Work
was done in $4,000 orchards; 10000
head of pure blooded stock were
bought for breeding at the instiga-
ton of agents. Over 100000 boys
and girls were enrolled'in clubs. On
the domestic side, there are such
figures as $4,000 homes screened.
$500 water systems installed, $500
community clubs organized. County
agents last year travelled total of
100000 miles, Figures are cold
things, but behind each of these
figures are facts that would make an
interesting book.
One of the most significant fea-
lures of the work is the hearty CO.
operation that makes it successful.
