work will continue on a complete area
basis until the entire county is clean
ed up from tuberculosis.
Better Livestock
The object of the Livestock I'M
provement project is to use every
means to encourage and assist farm
rs in building up a better class of
livestock. Limited financial condi-
tons of the farmers in the past is
the greatest reason for further ex-
tension in this project. However, it
is developing from year to year and
time is not far off when every farmer
in the county will at least have as
the head of his livestock herd a pure
bred sire. Toe much emphasis can
not be placed on the proper organi-
zation of any one of these projects.
Must Cooperate
The most important units in pro-
perly carrying out one of these pro-
jects is the community committee
man who is the man in the commun-
ity who is given the responsibility of
seeing that the project itself is kept
before the farmers in such a way that
it will progress from time to time.
It is his duty to interest farmers in
the community in the project to put
on community campaigns, to see that
the work is properly added too.
In the livestock work the progress
in any one community is just about
proportional to the attitude that the
livestock project leader in the county
takes in conducting the work. In all
three of these projects named, Tu-
berculosis, Blackleg, and Pure Sire,
he should have the hearty support of
every farmer in the community in
carrying the project to a satisfactory
completion.
With the cooperation of each
farmer and the livestock committee
man any project will progress. The
county livestock project leader acts
in an advisory capacity with the
county agent in making plans for
conducting the work on an efficient
county and community basis. Furth-

attend and assists in giving farmers
information relative to the import
ance of the project.
The County Agent
The duty of the county agent is
to keep information relative to the
quality of supplies used, furnish out
lines for conducting the project and
keep and collect necessary records
and reports that are valuable to
other communities in conducting the
work. 1t is also his duty, especially
in the tuberculosis eradication work,
to connect up the higher links with
the low links. to take care of detail
work in connection. 1t is with the
hope of giving every farmer a better
understanding of work and the pro-
per functioning of this work in order
to build up an educational machine
in the county that is capable of
carrying on any work that this article
is written, together with giving the
farmers who are not cooperating in
this work a chance to understand
the development of community work.
