Wherever the county agent lays his
hand noticeable changes follow. Crop
yields climb to higher averages and
the live stock improves in quality.
The whole county is spurred to seek
not only greater production by con.
structive methods, but also better
habits Of living, where before only in
dividuals here and there seemed to
ecure these results. Collective eli
fort, through organizations directed
by county agents, is raising farm
standards and farm output. Team
work surely follows the guidance OF
a good county agent.
County agent work was established
on its present basis by authority OF
the Smith-Lever Act, effective May
s, 1914. This act followed. several
others having a similar purpose, that
Of assisting counties to have better
farms and farming methods.
According to the government on
July /, 1918, county agent were sery-
ing 2,43j counties out Of 2,936 agri-
cultural counties in the United State
But twenty-five per cent remain TO
fall in with the majority. Further
more, the federal government appr0-
PIRATES for their maintenance a sum
which increases from year to year
until a certain figure shall be reached
when that amount will become the an
nual payment indefinitely.
Many millions have already beer
appropriated. The government, first
in, continues to help now also. With
the help of the states, counties and
farmers themselves, the possibilities
in the future of the county agent
seem unlimited because all are pulling
together.
When a group OF farmers feel
strongly enough that they must have
better farming Ways introduced and
want the benefits of collective plan.
ming, they usually take the obvious
course Of organizing a farm bureau.
The avowed object of this bureau is
to promote improved agricultural
practices among farmers and to do
collectively things which would 9th
erwise only be done in individual in.
stances. They her must have an ac-
tive agent to help materialize his
purpose. Two or three men whose
qualifications seem adequate are in
vestigated by the bureau. 1t also con
suits with state agricultural author
tiles and takes every precaution to
see that the man selected is quail
fed to perform his duties. He usual.
ly is a college graduate and always
experienced in the practical side OF
farming. He becomes the represen-
tative of the federal and state gov
ernments and the personal adviser of
every farmer in the county, whether
or not the farmer is a member of the
farm bureau. For a while in sparse
ly settled regions the agent may re-
present more tina hone county. but it
is the ultimate intention to Pave a
county agent for every agricultural
county in the United States.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS

Pierre, S. d., Feb. "a, l919.-State
hail insurance has passed the enate
test, aid will be up in the house this
week. 1t went down the first test vote
in the senate, but Oh reconsideration
was carried with but two dissenting
votes, and it now remains for the
farmers of the house to pass their
judgment on the measure as the sen
ate has left it. Just how they will
look at it will be a question. Under
the provisions as they stand some land
owners of the state are likely to dis
cover its existence through their tax
receipts of the next year. This espec-
tally In relation TO nonresident own
ers. II is alleged that any such in
surance plan means a compulsory fea-
ture to make 1t practical, and unless
the owner especially exempts himself
from the provisions when the asses
sor makes his annual rounds. he is un-
der the law and the cost per acre
fixed Will be taken to his land on the
ext year tax roll. Up to the pres
ent the farmers do not appear to take
kindly to the features Of the bill and it
will remain for the discussion on the
floor of the house to develop the real
feeling.
The bill to require thresher oper-
ators WHO do commercial work to
place their help on the same footing
as the grain they are handling. looked
like defeat in the house for a time,
but when the features were explained
there was a reversal of sentiment and
1t went through with little opposition.
The bill requires all commercial
threshers to protect their men by in
surance before they take out their
machines in the fall. A law already
In existence provides a penalty II the
thresher starts his machine without
taking out a bond to reimburse the
farmer for any possible loss on ac-
count of fire started by his machine.
The two bills are along the same line.
Under the law the thresher who is
financially responsible is liable for in
juries on employees while in his en-
ploy, and the new bill if enacted in
effect says it will be we'll for him to
place IN insurance buffer between
himself and possible damage suits.
The irresponsible thresher is at the
same time forced with a penalty for
failure to protect his employees and
see that they are cared for in case Of
injury just as the old law said he
must protect the farmer from loss of
grain.
The men who wants to take his
family to town for a Sunday evening
at a picture show, is not likely to be
restricted in that right as the senate
has killed the bill which sought to
prevent any moving picture shows on
Sunday, The censorship bill which
would materially increase the cost of
shows, under the statement of the pic
ture men. is yet in the house commit
tee. and has very little chance of ever
getting far if II gets out to- a vote, and
the picture business will continue as
of old. II the picture men are right

REGARDING MEMORIALS

When the question of memorial
buildings was being agitated in Water
town and the idea of financing them
was being considered, the mayor of
the city wrote to the secretary of the
interior, Franklin X. Lane, and re-
ceived the following letter regarding
such matters:
MAY l express to you, as the chief
executive of your municipality. my
hearty endorsement Of the movement
now spreading throughout the United
States for the erection of community
buildings as Soldiers and Sailors
Memorial? In expressing u graft
tude for the patriotic service of the
brave men, living and dead, who have
helped to win the world war for dem.
ocracy and human liberty, it is most
fitting that we erect in every commu-
nifty, a living memorial rather than e.
mere shaft or monument. 1t has been
suggested that these community
houses be known as Liberty Build
ings' and that they be dedicated as
neighborhood gathering places for SER
vice and fellowship for all the people.
The war has shown. in the camps and
camp cities. the great value of ade
quate facilities for fellowship and pub
NC recreation. Now that the men are
returning home they should have the
opportunity through the coming years,
to perpetuate the democracy of the
camps and to share with their fellow
townsmen in a suitable building, ia
cilities for discussion of local and ma
tional problems and for community
singing, drama. indoor athletics and
other forms of wholesome recreation.
