The fourth Annual Report Of the
County Agricultural Agent.
To the County Board OF Villas
County
Gentlemen: / hereby beg leave to
submit my fourth annual report as
Agricultural Agent Of Villas County.
The work of our office has gone on
for four years. The period of getting
acquainted with the people and con-
ditions and in getting the people to
know what the Office is for is past.
That the people are availing them
selves of the benefits of the office is

Project No. 3 Livestock improve

Project No. 4. Food preparedness

till age, use of lime commercial fertil-
izers, manure, sprays, good seed etc.
New crops OF alfalfa, sweet clover,
soy beans, sudan grass, sorghum
millets etc. are grown and if found
adapted to this climate an attempt
will be made to have the farmers
grow them. The season was a little
unfaVorable this year but some inter

q. 2. Construction Demonstrations.
Several plans for new barns and al

drawn, showing how to install the
King Ventilation System and suffici-
