DO WE NEED FARM
AND HOME AGENTS

During the past few weeks num-
Der of farmers and taxpayers of the
county have asked the Herald the
question, whether or not Yalobusna
County need farm agent and a
Home Economics Agent.
Many farmers have pointed out
that the taxes are getting very hlgh.
market values for farm produce Is
gradually sliding to the bottom price
that Yalobusha County is paying
both the Farm Agent and the Home
Economics Agent fancy salaries and
thew believe that Yalobusha County
should economic on every turn; anu
believe that it is almost waste OF
money besides an unnecessary bur-
den on them to pay the Farm and
Home Agents the fancy salaries they
draw, in consideration of the services
rendered and benefit being derived by
the county.
MANY farmers have pointed out the
fact that there is not single mile OF
A No. / permanent road III the coun-
tv. The bridges are getting in bad
condition Then why pay these farm
agents the big salaries for what they
do, while the county can't even Dulio
her roads?
This week the Grenada County
Board of Supervisors discontinued
the further employment of both the
Farm and Home Agents-A wise
move, indeed, owing to present con-
ditions. Yalobusha Supervisors can
surely take an object lesson from our
sister county, and help our farmers

companied by Job Hedges, attended to-
night a dinner given by the women's
division of the Auburn Chamber of Com

Cortland, the home OF Judge Miller,

Wordsworth. At Dryden his arrival
caused a district meeting of Presby-

that those present might attend the

Wilson's obstinacy had plunged the coun-
try into a mess, but that man named
Harding would do an unscrambling act
IN the near future.
Senator Wadsworth picked Auburn, the
home of Brighten. E. S. Jennings, one
of the foremost advocates of the National
Guard in the State and country, to make
for the first time in his campaign some
statements on what the Military Com

Special Despatch 70 THr rTE.ALp.

Special Despatch 20 TIM TTEkALp.
UTICA, Oct 12.-Gov. Smith in
speech here tonight charged that lead
ers in the Legislature had ignored the
welfare Of the farmer and subordinated
every move to secure greater efficiency
in the Department Of Agriculture TO the
political consideration of keeping hold
Of patronage. Men had been appointed
to places In the department who never
had moments training IN agricultural
matters. he said.
IAN consideration OF agricultural
questions. aside from appropriations. has
been taken out of the Governors hands
by the creation OF the Council Of Farms
and Markets." said the Governor. II
am great believer in placing the re-
sponsibility on somebody. I like to see
the man 1 can lay my hands on and
say, What about it?'
How many men and women in this
State know who the Council of Farms
and Markets are? How many people
know how they come into office, what
their responsibility is. or what their
term of office is? Very few. Still here
we have this body with a great. broad
grant of power written into this statute,
which reads perfectly but doesn't OPP
crate.
There Is contention within the bureau.
and politics in 1t. I made that state
ment two years ago throughout the
State, and l repeat It. At its head are
men who never had q moments training
in agricultural matters. These men
were admittedly appointed for the mend
ing of political fences In certain sec
tions Of the State.
In the spring OF 1919 j brought into
the Executive Mansion all the leading
agriculturists of the State, including
Dean Mann of Cornell: the head Of the
experimental station at Geneva and all
the mon l could find throughout the
State interested in agriculture. We
talked It out into the small hours Of the
morning. and l laid before them a pro-
Sramme and they agreed with me that
II ought 10 be put in operation in the
interest OF economy and the greater eff
ficiency of that department. Several
nights after that l attended a meeting
of the Council Of Farms and Markets
itself In the Agricultural Hall In Albany
and ! laid my programme before them
and they agreed with me that It ought
to be put in operation.
II sent a message to the Legislature
and bill, and three days after that the
chairman OF the Council OF Farms and
Markets came into the Executive Cham
Der and told me that we could forget
everything about any reorganization OF
the Department OF Agriculture that the
leaders had conferred and had decided
not to touch II.

MIR. POWYS TO LECTURE

The importance of cooperation Of women's clubs is plainly shown by a single sentence in letter from G. Arnold Shaw in regard to sending lec- turers to Birmingham. In recent communication to a member of the executive board of the Birmingham Iyceum Association MT. Shaw says: [ was perfectly amazed to discover that the reputation of John Cowper Powys had not reached your section of the country.
 Tt is not easy as a rule, for our lecturers 10 reach Alabama and a good deal depends in the future on co opera ton of the big cities. We want you to know. however, that we are anxious to do everything in our power to make the best lecturers on the platform available for your section of the coun- try"
 The literary clubs of Birpfingham are meeting with a reasonable sue cess in selling tickets for MT Powys' lecture tomorrow evening This is as fs should be, for it is possible through the medium of club work to interest Montgomery, Mobile and the best schools And colleges of Alabama and form a chain of lecture engagements which will justify bringing the very best material here to be obtained in the best known lyceum bureaus.
