MONTHLY REPORT OF THE
COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AGENT
For the period Nov I to Dec, 8 1874


The work covered by this report
was mostly the dairy Improvement
and horticultural projects OF the
farm bureau and In connection with
getting exhibits together. The
agents report to the Extension Ser
vice was prepared.
DAIRY IMPROVEMENT Work
In this department consisted OF taxi
ing a survey to determine the ap-
proximate demand for dairy cattle
In the county and to find out what
need exists for financial assistance
In the purchase of such stock and
the probable support that would be
accorded II an effort we're made to
organize a company that would take
advantage OF War Finance Corpor-
alton funds. Several days time was
spent in investigational and organ
ization work on this latter PROPOSE
tion. In cooperation with representa-
tiyes from farm bureaus, CONNER
eial clubs and county agents In the
Snake River eerritory. At the time
OF writing this report II appears that
a farmers livestock loan company
will be formed to import and dis
tribute dairy cattle and to finance
dairymen, to serve six counties in
Idaho and Malheur county, Oregon.
The work of raising $4,000 paid up
capital to begin operations is yet to
be done. or this Malheur county's
portion is supposed to be $4,000. Ap>
plications have been filed with the
agent for approximately 400 head OF
dairy stock.
HORTICULTURE. Four pruning
schools and five pruning demonstra-
tions were held during the month
with extension specialist Long as
leader. The attendance at these
meetings was good and the work APP
parently much appreciated by the
Orohardists. This project required
five days time In the field beside
that for making preparations. The
farm bureau committee onshorticul-
ture assisted materially in the local
arrangements.
OTHER PROJECT WORK. A
minor amount OF work was done
along pest control, marketing and
crop improvement lines. Three
days were devoted TO securing and
shipping exhibits for the State corn
and Land Products show at Port
land, with good results. Twelve
ribbons were won on corn and two
on other products, the exhibitors re-
eeiying $217.5O In prizes. Approx
mately one week was taken up in
making the agents annual report
o the xetension service.
