Lubbock County Agricultural Agent
Had Busy Year

Now that the busiest time of the
year IS az hand for the farmers of
this county, II is well also 10 remem-
Der that the county agent is busy.
only few days ago through his ef-
forts a meeting was called for the
discussion Of labor problems that are
facing the plains farmers more than
any other at the present time. At
this meeting there was fixed price
set for cotton picking, and a general
discussion Of securing labor. Since
that time. the agent has been working
in hand with the Chamber Of Com
meree for finding labor. Communi-
cations have been carried on daily
with all sections Of the country that
are liable to have surplus labor. Not
only that but the helping in the rally
day for the Girls and BOYS Clubs to
be held here Saturday has required a
great deal Of his time. This Rally is
taking on aspects at this writing to
be a great success from a standpoint
of interest that has been created in
better products raised in our county.
The labor situation is being met.
There is now places located through
the agent and chamber Of commerce
that labor can be found, will be found
and shipped 20 this country
Not only these. but the thousands
Of small and seeming insignificant
things that come before the county
agricultural agent, have been sue
cessfuly met by him.
And while we have devoted this
much space to the Agricultural De-
'partment we would not overlook the
important and valuable work that our
Home Demonstration Agent, Miss
Mile NJ Halsey, has done. Her work
is unquestionably the most proficient
of any county agent that we have
ever known, and Lubbock county
people, especially the farm wives and
daughters will bear us out in the
statement that she has put in her en-
tire time in the interest OF this de-
partment. Her work has covered
such a great variety Of things that it
would require several columns in our
paper TO numerate
We believe we voice the sentiment
Of the majority Of Lubbock people
when we say that these two depart
ments in Lubbock county are well
worth every cent Of money spent in
their employ.
