FARMER THINKS COUNTY
AGENT SHOULD BE KEPT;
6 PAID BY COMMISSIONERS

the destiny of my county and my
state in this present day. Let things
move as fast as they WILL will do
my dead level best to keep pace.
mo man has the right to throw
the machine of progress out OF gear
or stop its speed. If he wishes to
be a back number, let him crawl
into his own little hole and be con
tented with his fot. We progressive
farmers are not content with that
manner of living and just as fast as
honest labor will produce bountiful
crops we aim to increase our ability
to live more happily and contented
on our farms.
"The farmers are asking the com
missioners of Grady county to make
an appropriation sufficient to main.
tain the work of a county agent of
sufficient ability to be of direct bene-
fit to our agricultural interests.
There is nothing unfair or unreason-
able in this request. If we get this
appropriation, it is the only money
spent directly for the benefit of ag-
riculture from the county funds. We
feel that we are entitled to this
much, and we feel there should be
no opposition from any man or bust
ness. We know we are a class of
people who do not always stand up
and demand what is coming to us
and the other fellow usually gets
his voice heard and his wants known
long before we know what Is going
on. This is for the reason that we
are isolated and are not organized.
Now folks here is the situation in
a nut she'll: No commercial organi-
izatiOn under the law can contribute
to the support of the county agent
after July 1st. We have asked the
county commissioners to make the
appropriation heretfore made by out
side organizations so that the county
agent may be supported at public
expense. Chickasha ought not to
be asked to contribute one cent
other than her taxes to the support
OF this work. 1t is not right in the
first place because some individual
might think it a burden You well
Know as a farmer that if certain
folks contribute to a thing they feel
like they ought to have a string
tied to it. This might have a tend
ency to lessen efficiency and retard
the efforts of the agent when he
was in a position to do great SER
vice to the big class, the farmer
Let's get right out of this rut
and do business like men, standing
for progress and prosperity, and If
some one opposes the issue, put the
rollers under him and move him
out"

Oscar Early, prominent Grady
county farmer, today issued state
ment regarding the retention of the
county agricultural agent, and ad-
vocates that he be paid by an ap-
preparation made by the county COM
missioners. Mr.. Early's statement
follows:
Il doubt very much If the average
busy man and the average busy
farmer really appreciate the service
intended for him, coming through the
avenue of the county aegnt, the Ag-
ricultural college and the Department
of Agriculture.
81 as a farmer once thought that
] was all there was to my farming
operations. OF course my banker
entered into the transaction, but so
far as the farm was concerned,
thought had to use my own judg-
ment and experience regardless of
the other forces and avenues for in
formation at my disposal for the
asking.
Just think of the Investigations
carried on at all times by the depart
ment of agriculture, tending to the
control Of livestock diseases, insect
pests, better breeding and care Of
livestock, better ways of marketing
and a thousand things directly affect
ing the operations of every form
and all this information is dissent
mated through the county agent
What would we do if we were set
back in our present day methods Of
farming for say just twenty years?
OF course some people are so self
ish and so narrow in their views of
progress that they would fit the sit
uation better if they were living or
had lived 100 years ago, but for
one like the whiz and buzz of pro-
gress. 1t makes me feel good to
know that l have part in 'molding

HISTORIC NORWICH NAMES
 EOuNp AT SECOND CHURCH

Many of the names which brought prominence to Norwich and made it well known for culture and indus trial progress and beneficence have been associated with the old Second Congregational church, which though recently closed, is now brought again to public attention by a proposal to
 hold series of public entertainments there. Governor and Senator William A. Buckingham, L. E. Foster, John F. Slater, H. H. OsgoOd and others who were strong factors in shaping the af-
 fairs of the ltate and nation were
 worshippers aN 4this church.
 Many of it's pastors such as Rev. Dr. Bond Leonad Wooley Bacon and others had regulations that extended far and away beyond the borders of the town. For 20 years Judge s. T. Holbrook officiated at the organ, lead CT in ths musical as well as civic af- fairs of the city.
 From this church in 1S42 owing Ito ] increased demands for more places of worship a number of members form ed the Broadway Congregational church which is now joined with its mother in the new United church.
