COUNTY AGENT HAS WON
PERMANENT PLACE IN
RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Washington, Nov. 22-After tel
years OF experimentation and develop.
ment under the direction OF the De
partment OF Agriculture, county agen'
work has proved itself an indispen'
sable faco- in agricultural communi,
ties in the Northern and Western
states. II has awakened the farm
ers' economic instincts and is help
ing him to stand on an equality with
other business interests. II has brought
about a reorganization of social con
ditions in rural districts which makes
country living more satisfactory and
girl a new respect for the farm and
has brought to the country boy and
. new and better vision OF country
life.
The specific activities of county
agents in Northern and Western states.
with respect TO soil fertility. crops
seed improvement, pest and insect con-
troll, fruit, livestock. farm manage
mcnt. boys and girls clubs. farm home
problems. etc. are fully and interest
ingly described in Department Cir
cular l79, which may be had on ap-
plication to the Department of Agri-
culture.
History Of County Agent
The circular also gives brief his
tory OF the county agent work from
its inception in l9ll. in Broome coun-
ty. New York. BY the end of June.
1913 about one hundred OF the agents
were at work in 10 states. The
passage OF the Agriculture, Exten-
sion act in May, 1914. and later the
food production emergency Of the
World war. led to the rapid expan-
sion OF the county agent force. which
now numbers Loo agents in the 1000
agricultural counties of 81 Northern
and Western states. Iowa and Nj
nesota are the only states which
have a complete quota of agents.
It is interesting to note that the
early efforts OF county agents were
poorly received by county communi-
ties and in very many cases were
resented by farmers. The chang
ed attitude OF agricultural communi-
ties in regard to the COUNTY agent is
one OF the most notable triumphs of
the work and IS the best possible
proof OF its value necessity.
COUNTY agents attitude toward such
economic problems a. cooperative
purchasing OF farm supplies and mark
citing OF farm products has resulted
in the formulation OF a national pol
icy. The county agent today helps
determine what crops should be grown
he advises how to market them prof.
The same is true in connection
with his work in the livestock indus
