DEMONSTRATION
 AGENTS LIN JOb

A recent paper issued from the of flee of the Secretary of Agriculture by G. l. Christie and Clarence DuBose on Supplying the Farm Labor Need" has the following to say of the very effective County Agent system now well organized and working under the United States Department of Agricul- ture and the Agricultural colleges of the country:
 Tn the very nature of things the Government seems an abstract. inn personal thing to most people. But that is not the way the farmers feel toward the particular branch of gov ernment with which they are concern ed-the United States Department of Agriculture. Indeed, no single cir cumstances, probably has contributed so much 10 the success of the Depart ment of Agriculture's war program of increased food production as the fact that farmers in almost every county in the nation call that department by | it's first name. That is to say. 10 most farmers the agricultural end of the government is typified in the per son of Bill or Tom or Henry or whatever his name may be-of the County Agricultural Agent-a man they knoW-a man they see frequently "a man who is one of them-a man who practices what he breaches, and not only tells how to produce bigger and better crops but actually does SC himself on farms which he uses foi demonstrations in various parts of the county-a man who reaches the farm I CTS in their fields and homes ant presents the suggestions, the requests the war programs of the department.
 "'Bill' and Tom and Henry were on the job before the war of course for this County Demonstration Agent system is one of the fundamental fea- lures of the Department of Agricul- ture's permanent work. But there are many more now than before the war-some 2,500 at present In stead fly increasing numbers since the wal began they have been out in tin Liz l-zies, traipsing' up and down the .counties of these United States-Bil and Tom and Henry, telling the farm CTS, first of all, why more food must
 be produced, and then, if necessary showing how to do it.
 And more food has been produced a fact made possible only by the pa triotic responses of the farmers to tho
 suggestions made by the Departmen
 of Agriculture the Department of La
 bor and the many other Federal, Statt and local organizations"

 LAND IF PROMISE

From far off India, from that sec tion lying 140O miles east of Calcutta, is coming one of these days. a band of energetic, hopeful Hindus, the members of which believe, as do their leaders who have preceded them, that in the Salt River valley is the land of promise. It may not be later than the coming December when the first of these East Indians will arrive in Phoe- nix. Just how many will come is not definitely known. but it is known that they expect to acquire, either through lease or purchase, several thousand acres of verdant lands in this section to be utilized in the rais ing of cotton.
 Just about a week ago Basanti Singh and four companions made pilgrimage to Phoenix. coming over land from the Imperial Valley in Cali fornia The visit was made for the purpose of secluring first hand in- | formation concerning the cotton situ atiOn in Arizona, particularly with re- | lation to availability of tillable lands For several days the visitors iourneyed from Phoenix to the Chandler and ! Mesa districts, inspecting acreages and talking with owners. Each night they returned to Phoenix and com l Each morning they went out into new fields, spending the day in thoroughly acquainting themselves with existing | conditions.
 A few days ago the East Indian vis- itors departed for California. but be- fore leaving they announced that they had decided that in the Salt River Valley they had found just the sec tion for which they had been seek ing and that they would return in De- cember. together with 100 or more fel- low countrymen. They had some very definite ideas of just what they ex- pected to accomplish here and were well-satisfied with their trip.
 While they did not avail themselves of the opportunity to visit the Roose- welt Dam, they secured full informa tion concerning the great reservoir and the extent of the acreage Watered by it. They expressed a determination to secure lands coming directly under the project and declared they would hardly content with lands which would require pumping plants for irri- gation. They spoke of the unusually excellent quality of cotton they saw growing in the Salt River Valley fields and said it was of a higher grade than any they had previously seen. They said that they were satis- fled that, cotton grows better ant yields more abundantly 'toH the acr, here than in the Imperial Valley anC certainly much more so than in thei1 native lands.
