NO TIME TO LOSE
COUNTY AGENTS
Poe Advises Against Dropping Pilo

Clemson College, Jan. 11-Be-
low is an editorial from the Pro-
gressive Farmer of December rs,
which all farmers and others con-
cerned should read and reread.
eve regret to learn of disposi-
tion in a few counties to try to get
along in 1921 without a county
agent.
"Such a policy is like dropping
the pilot just as the ship enters the
most dangerous seas. 1t is like shut
ting up the lighthouse just as the
storm comes on.
"The farmers of the South will
need the help of the county agent
more in 1921 than ever before. And
they will use him more than ever
before.
"In the first place they need his
help about production. How much
the cotton acreage will be cut IS
probelmatical, but it is certainly
going to be cut. Farmers are going
to grow a diversity of crops, and
they are going to need a guidance
i'm new fields of effort. They are al
os going to grow more livestock, and
here especially, they will need the
help of thoroughly equipped coun-
ty agent.

blems of marketing. Big and prom

already under~ way. The county
agent is the man who must do more
than anyone else in bringing success
to these plans for scientific and pro-
fitable marketing. Then, too, in
growing corn, hay, hogs, and cattle,
farmers will find their diversified
ton program of small profit unless
plans for cooperative shipping and
selling are worked out. They natur-
ally look to the county agent for
leadership in these matters.
"For all these reasons the best in
vestment your county can make is
to pay enough to get superbly quail
flied man to lead your farming for
ces as county agent in 1921.
Don't be content with a cheap
man. Get a man whose training is
such that farmers know he can give
them real help in all the intricate
problems of soils, fertilizers, crops,
