ASSET 10 COMMUNITY
Net Cash Returns Over Period Of
Years Furnishes Unmistakabls
Evidence Of Actual Dollars and
Cents Returns, Over Country

There are farmers everywhere
who are still wondering whether or
not 1t pays them to put up their
share of the money to pay the
county agent For their benefit,
the following report and figures are
given which were made and com
piled. during the summer Of 1917
after careful account for the four
years previous.
If any county in the United
States were to expend $1,000 q year
for four years, or a total Of $4,000,
and in return for this expenditure
were to enhance the value OF the
county nearly $l,5OO.O00, would you
regard the investment as good
one and the effort put into the
work worth while? Something
over four years ago, number OF
progressive farmers of Scott county,
Iowa, Joined with the business men,
forming the Scott County Farm
Improvement League, which en-
gagged the services OF G. r. Bliss
as county agent. It is not an easy
matter to measure in dollars and
cents the net value of crops increas-
ed and animals saved as the result
of this organized work. But there
have been six items in the program
pursued in this county, with re-
gard to which the record could be
kept. From the year 1918 to 1916,
as the result of organized effort on
the part of the farmers OF Scott
county with the county agent at
the head, total of 1,438,470 was
recorded as the net increase for the
six items.
Alfalfa showed an increase in
1913, Of $13,436, and in 1916, an in
crease OF $42750. For the four
years the total was $121,955.
The treating Of oats for seed in
1918 yielded $9,14O while 1915 show
ed an increase Of $25,64 The total
for four years was $123,565.
Corn in 1918 increased in value
to the extent of $4,000. The total
for four years was $699, 9,OOO.
The Inauguration OF silOs in 1913,
increased the net profits $4,000 and
