1t will be gratifying to the farm
bureau members of Latah and Nez
Perez counties to learn that their
respective county agent has been
honored with an important position
IN the University of Idaho extern
sion division. D. s. Fletcher was
named permanent chairman of the
northern Idaho division and w. W.
Skuse, secretary. We believe there
have been no other counties IN the
state more fortunate in the choice
of county agents than Latah and
Nez Perez counties and the action
of the extension division would IN
dictate recognition OF their ability.
