SAYS COUNTY AGENT
WAS A BIG FACTOR

To operate a farm of 319 acres
with only two young boys to do the
work is not an easy job. To make
it produce net profit of $500 in
one year under those conditions is
considered a real achievement. A
farmer near Rockford, Coosa county,
Ala, in a letter to the United States
department of agriculture gives this
as the record made by his own sons.
But he adds that the county agent was
a big factor in the achievement. It
was the agent who helped to select
the seed and gave advice on drain.
age, terracing, pasturing and the
care of the cattle and hogs. In a
general way he has helped by organi-
ling the boys pig and calf club that
are working wonders for the improve
ment Of stock" writes the farmer
Also he adds that this county agent
and his wife have caused the canning
industry at home to increase 500 per
cent in the last two years.
