AS COUNTY AGENT
Has Been with County Farm
Bureau for Five Years

Of the Largest Stock Farms In

F. Cl ford Shaw, who has been the
Bennington county farm agent during
the past five years, has resigned to ha-
come the superintendent Of one Gs the
largest stock farms in the eastern
states and located not far from Bos-
ton
Mr. Shaw, who Is native OF Man
chester, took up the work of county
farm AGENT following HIS graduation
from the Cornell agricultural college
and two years experience on Thomp-
sons island in Boston harbor. The
growth Of the county farm bureau
frcm is organization to its present
proportions Is due almost entirely to
his efforts. It has become consider
able factor IN the agricultural pros
perlty Of the county and is on foun-
daticn from which should be built
much larger institution. Mr. Shaw in
his letter 0f RESIGNATION SAYS:
II Is with a great deal OF reluctancy

RESIGNATION as County Agricultural
Agent for the Bennington County
Farm Bureau. The same to take eff
feet December 81. 1920, or preferably
by December 18th next. providing
proper arrangements can be made.
Ny new work win afford me the op-
pcrtunity OF becoming intimately con-
nected VI tn one of the foremost cattle
breeding establishments OF this Coun-
t~y, besides work with other improved
classes of livestock, work that have
for long time desired, and an oppor-
tunity | cannot overlook
For nearly FIVE years have en-
deavored to render service. that would
be of value to the largest possible
number of farmers in Bennington
County, and help build an organizat on
that would be a permanent and i'm
portant factor in furthering the best
agricultural interest tf Bennington
County. While this development has
been slow and often discouraging from
my view point as County Agent. feel
that the Farm Bureau is much strong
er now than at any previous me, and
that a change in agents will be less
felt now thap any time here to-fore or
even later.
The willingness to render service
and help take an active part in the
welfare CT the Farm Bureau is becom-
ing much more pronounced among
farmers in all parts Of the County
than ever before I trust that this
spirit OF goodwill VII continue with
the new agent taking the field, and
each by giving him their most hearty
support, | feel that the work should
continue with greater good being
accomplished than has been possible
in the past.
Very truly yours,
F. Clifford Shaw.
