Is not restricted to personal opposition to Mr..
Dolan, but is concentrated against the theory OF
employing an agricultural expert to act as bust
ness agent or secretary, as it were for the farm
ing industry of Wayne county.
This form of opposition by the board of edu-
cation is exceedingly narrow and overlooks the
broader aspects of the purpose for which the
office was created. If there is any opposition to
the county agent system it is this-that the sal
aries paid the agents are so small that one won
ders why they continue in office.
Here is an office whose sole purpose is to
create wealth. If Wayne county farmers, for
instance, can save thousands of dollars annually
by learning to detect the 80 per cent of hens that
do not lay eggs but mere food consumers,
that knowledge impaired by the county agent is
putting thousands of dollars into their pockets.
If the county agent is able, by his advice and
counsel, to teach new methods, eradicate waste
full methods, help to solve market problems, and
assist the farmer in innumerable ways, he be-
comes real teacher Of how to make money
The county board of education might study
with profit the last census report on agriculture
for Wayne county to get some first-hand and
accurate knowledge on the extent of the indus
try here. The total value of all crops in Wayne
county in 1919 is $7,153, AGO. The value of all
domestic animals is S., 705, 1922, which includes
value of $198,946 for poultry alone. The value
of all farm property is given at S43, 346,40
The men who are engaged in this industry
richly deserve the presence of an agricultural
agent The creation of this office was not the
outcome Of fad backed by publicity, but is the
natural and historical result of conditions in the
industry itself Gone are the days when the sol
of the United States produced crops without in
tensive and scientific culture, and when any one
could make money out of the fertility of virgin

The County Agent

The refusal Of the county board Of education
to re-elect County Agent Dolan by a vote of nine
to eight is deplorable in view both of the neces-
sity of trained expert and of the excellent serv
ices which Mr.. Dolan has given.
A county agent unquestionably is one Of the
most valuable officers the farmers have to aid
them in their industry. He possesses not only
the technical knowledge which the average
farmer is unable to obtain, but also imparts valu
able practical facts that make themselves felt in
dollars and cents.
Here's an example: County Agent Dolan at
tended a special course of instruction at Purdue
recently on poultry culling and had arranged n
series of meetings in various parts OF the county
to teach farmers how to do the work. This was
cancelled after the refusal of the board to hire
him for next year.
In the meantime, Preble county has taken ur
the idea, and special news dispatch from Eaton
today says that the possibility of saving $58,413
by poultry culling will become an actually there
through series of demonstrations.
If $58,413 looks good to the farmers Of Preble
county, why should hostile policy of the board
of education Of Wayne county prevent our farm
ers from saving as much or more in one year?
Mr.. Dolan has earned his salary threefolc
times and more. Every well informed person ir
Wayne county knows that part Of his salary i:
paid by the federal and state governments ane
that the actual outlay of money by Wayne county
is small one.
The opposition to the county agent evidently
