-CA A-AC -@H- two nights rain and cloudy weather has been very nice for them.
 Learn a Lesson From Nature.
 The weeds appear to know what's ahead of them and grow accordingly. In all my life I have never seen things grow so fast as they have during the last ten days. There must be a reason for it, possibly an early frost, maybe only a severe drouth. but anyway you should take a lesson from Nature and get your seed in the ground as quickly as possible. Sour dock has come up in my yard in the last ten days or so and grown three feet and gone to seed.
 The County Agents Picture Shows.
 l started out to make the rounds with the agents Saturday, but they failed to get to Martindaie, Jackson vile and Justice schoolhouse. because. at the last moment they had to make repairs on their machines But finally we got started at Ebenezer, Tate's Mill, and Olmstead, where the grow ing enthusiasm reached high point, to drop a little at Cato, but there was plenty of enthusiasm and talk by MT. Farris in favor of the community fair to be held at that ppint. We had some real bad road getting to Cato and worse from there into Camp Pike
 Herman Harral, one of the pig club boys at Cato, sold three pigs for S115, and thinks he came out ahead on his investment
 After we got into Little Rock it rained hard and made our roads slick. Notwithstanding that the agents start ed out early the next morning for Wye, giving an entertainment at Cross Roads We had a terrible road to go over and I, myself, was surprised that they would even attempt the trip. Ar irving at Cross Roads, I went right on to Wye to get a team to help pull them up the mountain, but I failed in that. did not try very hard, for 1 did not want to assume any responsi- bility for starting them over as rough road as that 1 left with the un- derstanding I thought that they would not attempt to make the trip without team. was tired out myself and went to bed early. The next morn ing I wrote them a letter, compliment ing them on their good judgment in going onto Roland. but when I went to mail it I learned that they were already in Wye. George Reding went with his team and brought the trailer in.
 What District Agent Is For.
 never knew what a district agent was used for until this trip. Before starting out on the trip MT. Sargent said that District Agent J. c. Barnett was stout, healthy, robust man, and would make a good pusher, so he in- vited him to come along, which he did Instead of waiting for a team, they de cided that with MT. Barnett's help they could push the trailer up the mountain, and so did not wait for the team. They stalled on the mountain and waited there until 9:3O for a team, and then came on into Wye in their cars.
 1 learned on this trip that county agents do lot of real hard work, and if the farmers could only see them at work they would think more of them.
 There was big crowd at Wye for the show that night from Ledwidge and other places, and am sorry they were disappointed. The next day at Wye, though, the show received the most enthusiastic welcome it ever re- ceived, or ever will, and the agents were more than glad they made such strenuous efforts to get there.
 I think Pulaski should by a com plete outfit for the agents, and, even more, think that every school should have one. It is going to take such i'm provements to keep the children on the farms. I am so pleased with it myself that invented a slogan for 1t: An Ounce of Film Is Worth a Ton of Paper"
