EDITORIAL

The Home Demonstration Agent
is on the ground and has begun her
duties and presents an article in this
issue asking for the cooperation of
the ladies and girls in the class OF
work that she is employed by the
county and federal government to
push. This refers particularly to
the home gardening campaign; the
canning clubs later on and all such
auxiliary work in the production OF
foodstufls to help sustain our own
nation and finish substantial sur
plus TO our allies in the terrible
world war IN which our country has
become involved. The Herald man
through our exchanges has noticed
how this Home Demonstration
Work" or LADY agent" work has
been carried on of late months in
an increasing number of counties in
the state and had thought to edlto-
rialize to the end of seeing it put on
in Greene County, but we were wait
ing for adjustment of the officials
and the people to the County A
gent" (male agricultural and mark
citing worker) and there has been
considerable delay in getting a man
Mr. McWhorter arrived few weeks
ago and got active at once The su-
pervisors decided to cooperate with
the federal government at their
Jany. term towards securing also
the lady worker, so we have both in
the field now, showing in one more
instance how the war brings about
almost over night as it were long
needle but protractedly delayed real
progressive measures. So the
Herald hopes Miss Mays work will
enlist the instant reasonable cooper
alton of every possible house wife
and daughter of the home and that
next fall will show strong results in
augmented food products in their
line of pndnaVOr
