COUNTY AGENTS

is SHOWN in BULLETIN ISSUED
BY EXTENSION DIVISION OF
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE

The part county agents have played
in the agricultural department of Wis
consin, during the past ten years is
told in a bulletin issued today by the
division of the College of Agriculture,
on "a Decade of County Agent Work. !"
Fifty-five of the states seventy-one
counties now employ agents to dis
cover the farmers who need help, plan
means of helping these men protects
new rural interests, and serve as gen
eral promotional and utility agents
for the district they represent. Co
operation is always maintained with
the University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
Wisconsin county agents are said
to be more and more depended upon
to locate available sources of supply
of high class dairy cattle which are
being shipped from Wisconsin to sup
ply dairy farms of other states.
During the past year over 100000
worth of dairy cattle were sold to
twenty-one different states and to for
eign countries. County agents and ex-
tension specialists from other states
naturally turn to Wisconsin as a re
liable source of dairy cattle for their
farmers the report says.
The planning of schools for instruc-
ing methods is done by the county
agent, whose work in this connection
resulted during 1921 in the establish
ment of three times as many account
books on farms of the state as during
the previous year.

No better illustration of the need for
fundamental research work as basis
for extension activities or the neces-
sity for specialist service to county
agents can be found"
''The idea of the county woman
worker who should do for the women
in the house what the county agent is
expected to do for the men on the
farm is an outgrowth of the county
agent system" the bulletin declared
''The idea has been generally adj
opted throughout the United States
1t has not yet become widespread in
Wisconsin. Marathon county being the
only county now provided with a
woman worker"
"As the farmer rises in the econom-
ic scale he is anxious to improve his
home surroundings, inspired by the
same motives that move his city bro

Hayward's Philosophy
E. F. Hayward Conover Wis.

| would not live beyond the time when
/ can be Of use
And have to lay my colors down, and
bear the flag Of, truce;
To sit around with trembling limbs,
and fan life's dying spark,
And only mar the landscape, as a
dead tree in al park.
With fading sight, and toothless
mouth, and memory gone astray,
The world would only look on me,
as being in the way;
I'd rather live useful life, and live
a few years less,
Than linger on, when I've outlived
my days of usefulness.
There might be some who'd care to
look upon my wrinkled face,
But even these, would soon forget, if
others take my place.
When I've outliyed my usefulness,
regardless of my age,
/ hope and pray that then I may be
ushered off the stage.

.Postlude

Postlude
Wait gentle reader just a minute;
Lest may be misunderstood;
That one word useful has much in it,
It means the act of doing good
One may be crippled, aged and broken,
And still be useful all the while,
If from his lips kind words are spoken,
And on his face there beams a smile.

 tending for Last Year

BERK ELEY, Nov. I7.-About 15 football veterans, among them Brick" Miller, All-Amcrican end, will be lost by graduation to the Uni versity of California's champion team next year.
 Despite the loss, California root CTS are not looking ahead to many lean gridiron years for they have faith in the second team and in this Smiths ability to put winning com bination on the field.
 SeveralYof the players to go have played with California three years and were on the 1921 eleven, which won the title of wonder team" by crushing every western opponent and defeating Ohio State, Big Ten cham pions, at Pasadena New Years Day.
 Two of the stars who will grad uate will be the California fullbacks, Duke" Morrison and Archie Nisbet. Both ends will be lost also, for in addition to Muller, Bob Berkey goes. Gallagher, center, and Captain Charlie Erb, quarterback, also leave. Among the others to graduate are Dean, Best and Bell.
 Loss of the fullbacks probably means that Jack Witter, who was a fullback in 1920 and tackle in 1921, will return to his first love, the backfield A star who is expected to make the varsity is Jimmy Dixon, of this years Freshman team, who is good at running, kicking or pass ing Pearce and O'Brien probably will be at the end positions next season.
