Lest we forget Of the valuable
services Lubbock county has receiv-
ed this year through her county agri-
cultural agent. we recall some Of
those things that have kept him bust
ly engaged.
January and February Of this year
the farmers of this county were con-
fronted with a shortage Of feed for
cattle, hogs and horses The services
Of the agent was used in securing
half rate shipping license. These
rates applied to farmers who bought
in carload lots, and were procurable
only through a county agricultural
agent In this one instance Of his
services, it is conservatively estimat-
ed that saving Of s35, 900 was made
for the farmers Of our county. be-
sides that, locations were made in
drouth counties. of shortage of
seeds, kaffir, sudan, maize, etc, that
many Of our farmers had raised for
seed purposes. These places were
communicated with by the County
Agent and market established for
many dollars worth Of these seeds
The Spring months were and are
naturally the busiest time Of the
year, other than the harvesting sea
son. Vaccination Of thousands OF
cattle was aided by the county agent.
Preparation for the spring time culti-
walton Of land also received his at
tention And in these months there
was also organized Boys Clubs. The
sheep and wool growers association,
and many incidental things that are
likely not 20 come under the direct
observation Of the casual onlooker,
was done and aided by the county
agent. We remember the insect
scares, but none of US remember
those times as distinctly as our coun-
~ agent, who was out early and into
the country, studying and giving adj
vice to combat them, and only a
small loss was sustained in our coun-
ty by the insects.
In June and July most Of the time
was devoted by the agent in gather
ing the wool crop of the South
