spell suddenly. She was a sister to
A. J. Martin, Of Stanton. Troy
and his brother attended the
funeral.
Wish you could all have the
pleasure of looking over the annual
report of H. H. Harrison, our farm
agent, since he has been here. II
you could see the farmers he has
visited and how he has planned
with them for greater and better
crops, how he has rode all over the
county and helped those who de-
sired his help, showing them the
better method of plowihg, selecting
of seed, planting and tending the
crop, how he has interested the
farmers in better grade of stock; of
the hundreds and hundreds of let
tiers he has written advising and
planning with them; if you could
only see the summary of all his
work since last April, when he came
here, you would see he had been a
very busy man. The statistics he
has gathered for Powell county as
to the number of acreage of various
crops and the yield of those crops
are well worth studying along and
they are valuable to us. He has
demonstrated on the farm of r. G.
Hall that Powell county can grow
alfalfa. We did not think that
possible but we know that means
that many farmers will grow that
valuable crop. AS we have stated
once before any farm that will grow
alfalfa is worth $50 an acre no
matter where it lays. The writer
called on Mr.. Harrison a great
number of times for his aid in his
garden and as a result he had the
best garden he ever had. He feels
that he was benefited tremendous
ly. But Mr.. Harrison will be more
and more valuable to us the longer
he stays here. The Department of
Agriculture will give us an assistant
this year if we will make small
appropriation. We feel that this will
be done for our County Judge is
business man and greatly interested
in farming himself and has the in
terest of Powell county at heart.
We understand that when he made
the race it was not that he wanted
the money derived from the Office
but that he might do the people of
Powell a service and help them. So
with such man as the County
Judge and the fine men who con-
stitute our Fiscal Court, and all of
them are farmers, we feel that they
will see that this small appropria-
ton is made. Mr.. Harrison made
l12 demonstrations to the farmers
of Powell county; l52 cooperative
demonstrations were made; 1876
other farmers were visited besides
65 business men; GAO personal calls
were made on him for advice and
aid; he visited 33 schools and help
ed to form boys and girls clubs in
the interest of poultry raising and
gardening. The writer is giving
you this information so that you
may know we need Mr.. Harrison
and how valuable he is to us.
These agents are of vast help to
other counties and are doing a
wonderful work in assisting farm
ers. These other counties are pay
ing these agents themselves. Some
counties employ several agents and
keep them busy. Those counties
are coming 10 the front fast in Ag-
riculture. Let Powell do her part.
We feel that the Fiscal Court will
do this.
