COUNTY AGENTS HOLD
FOURTH ANNUAL MEET

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 14.-Coun-
ty agents of the ninety-six counties
of the State completed their fourth
annual conference here to-day. Prac-
tically every county in the State was
represented. All subjects pertaining
to farm demonstration work were
discussed by the agents and by
specialists of the division of agri-
cultural extension, University of
Tennessee and United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Reports were
made by the agents and plans set for
the coming year. Among the subjects
discussed were marketing of live
stock, dairying, purebred livestock,
hog cholera, forage crops for hogs,
lime and legumes, farm machinery
and drainage, orchards, forestry.
boys club work, poultry, farm man
agement, and community organiza-
ton.
DR.. Bradford Knapp, chief of ex-
tension said: 1.-THE farmers of the
South in 1917 and 1918, for the first
time in their history, drew but SPAR
ingly on the food supply of the
country for their own use. They
fed themselves. Theirs was an in
telligent response to the call Of the
Government in time of war 1t was
an unselfish, patriotic response.
Mr.. Knapp said that the country
could not again go back to the ways
of the past in doing things. I'm
selfishness must continue to urge
people on to greater things. 1--WE
won't measure you to-the standard of
the boys who are coming back, if
we let ourselves do things as they
used to be done, if we are led on by
sordid selfishness," he said. 1.-THE
valley of the future is ours, but it
cannot be conquered by the ways
back of u.s. Mr.. Knapp then gave
in outline the safe farming program
for which he, in his broad practical
experience. is willing to stand spon-
sor. The county agents will carry
this program back to county and
community organizations for their
consideration.
