MANY FARMERS ENDORSE
COUNTY AGENT WORK

Personally I have been closely con-
nected with the county agent work in
Hand county since it was first started
in 1919.
The first two years work which
we're known as war time or emergency
county agent work, were not entirely
satisfactory, bit since the work has
been r~eorganized under the present
County Agent Mr.. Aicher. there has
been a steady advancement in agricul-
tural methods and live stock improve
ment throughout the county.
The boys and girls club work and
the organization of Community clubs
work would amply justify the con-
tinuance Of this office to say nothing
of the other numerous activities such
as small grain and corr Improvement,
livestock disease prevention and con-
troll, weed control and determination,
better farm methods in general, and
the labor bureau.
At the present time, more than at
any other time, when it requires the
best that a farmer car put into his
business to make it show a profit, we
cannot afford to dispense with the ad-
vantages Of the Agricultural Extern
sion work through the County Agent.

The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1922-11-02

To realize what our County Agents
are doing in boys and girls club work,
a person only needs to visit the state
fair and see the work the boys and
girls have done under the supervision
of their County Agents.
BY voting against County Agent
work We deny our children the benefit
of state and federal aid which has
been appropriated for our county's use
in helping our boys and girls to be
better farmers than we are.
Hand County in the future will be
exactly what we train our boys and
girls to make 1t. 1t is not what we
do for our children that educates them
but what we cause them to do for
themselves.
Hand County is known as a progress
sive county. County Agent work is
causing it to go forward much faster
than without IT.. To discontinue this
work even temporarily will only mea
I loss of valuable time.

W.. HI. McMaster

" AAs
Governor McMaster is candidate for
his second term to succeed himself.
He came to the Office when the finan-
cial situation of the state was in a
most depressing condition, when costs
of running the state were at the high
est and the prices of farm products
were the lowest. He decided that
economy was absolutely necessary
and should be his watchword.
AS in the Republican platform. and
repeated here "the State of South Da-
kota has become a business institution
of immense proportions. The duties
devolving upon the governor. as chief
executive of this great business enter
prise, are very exacting and his is a
work little understood by those who
have not given the subject mature
consideration"
The governor is on his job all the
time and it is safe to say that he puts
In more hours a day on his official
duties than the ordinary professional
or business nan gives to his business.
The governor is a trained business
man, thoroughly equipped to grapple
with the problems of state and to
handle them wisely.
The personnel of the balance OF the
Republican state ticket consisting of
Carl Gunderson for lieutenant COVER

O'Brien, state treasurer; Fred l..
Shaw, Supt. of Public Instruction; N.

questioning of the integrity ant
good faith of members of tn

could not have been worded diff
ferently. He very PARTICULAR
gave the estimated cost of tn

their accuracy. He stated ther
was nothing to conceal; that tn

The work of presenting the
road and bridge project, for
which the voters Of Lafayette
County are asked to approve a
bond issue for $25S,OOO, goes on
from day to day. Committees are
zealously doing their allotted
tasks in spite of heat or person
al affairs, with accumulative
assurances that wherever the
opposition is presented with the
facts the opposition a I'm o t
ceases. The few exceptions to
this are noteworthy, because of
its character. 1t is not a healthy
opposition based upon actual
conditions or upon future ad-
vantage to the citizens of this
county. No argument can be
presented against tn e propo-
sition but "taxes" and il
becomes nugatory when the &C
tuaI tax increase is known
when convincing arguments are
given that the tax rate can be
no other than A cents on the
500 valuation or over 5 cents
as the limit.
