At meeting Of the Board of
County Commissioners of Torrance

it has been brought to the attention
of said board that the board of coun-

have discontinued the services of the
county agricultural agent; and
Whereas, it is the desire of this
Board to advance in as much as it is
possible the development of the ag-
ricultural resources of the state by
their aid and cooperation, and
Whereas, this development is de-
pendent not only upon the improve
ment of Milling facilities but also
upon the methods employed by farm
ers in growing of their wheat and
other crops.
Be it therefore resolved that this
Board heartily endorses the work of
the agricultural college which they
have already accomplished through
its corps of agents and their farm
beaureau in the several counties in
the advancement of agriculture in
the state.
Be it further resolved that we dis ;
approve the action of the Board of
County Commissioners of Socorro {
county for removing one of the most :
competent county agricultural agents s
employed in the state at time most :
needed by the farmers of the coun- =
ty, 9
