JOINT MEETING IS A
BOOST FOR TEACHING
COUNTY AGENT FLETCHER is
CHAIRMAN-NOR MEN
A UNIT FOR SCHOOL

Reports from the meeting of the
northern county agents at Standpoint,
which was attended by O. S. Fletcher,
county agricultural agent, Dean Id
dings of the University agricultural
department, w. B. Kjosness, state
leader of county agents, L. w. Flu
harty of the U. S. extension depart
ment of agriculture, and E. G. Miller,
,silo inspector, show that the farm
school and its course of teaching was
a prime feature of the discussions.
The meeting was held with the ex-
tension professor so that the depart
ment of county agents might take up
their several spheres of work without
encroaching on one another. The agri-
cultural agents have for some time
been overloaded, and in some respects
have departed from their usual lines
of activities. The extension depart
ments of the state and nation have
been in perfect harmony but it was
suggested that some line of demarca-
ion should be followed by both in re-
spect to the farm bureaus.
Agricultural extension was featured
at the meeting. The worth of the
farm school was demonstrated. o. S.
Fletcher, county agent, occupied the
chair. The value of the teaching to
the communities of each county was
taken up and this may mean there will
be return to this teaching. A fea-
ture was the trip taken by the agents
and professors to a farm where the
sectional silo, costing but $3.50 was
demonstrated It is laid on a concrete
base and is easily assembled. 1t full
fills all modern reuirements.
C. o. Miller, the testing agent of the
state gave the meeting valuable ad
dress on silo requirements and the
value of the silo on the dairy farm.
