LEADER TELLS OF
EXTENSION WORK
DIRECTOR FLUHARTY SPEAKS TO
AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS
WEDNESDAY EVE

Qualities they must possess ii they
would become good county agents
were outlined for university agricul-
Itural students by L. w. Fluharty, di-
rector of extension, who addressed
the Ag club Wednesday night.
"a county agent must be sympa-
thetic," he said, must be good mix
er, show initiative, know the funda-
mentals Of agriculture, and possess
the ability to organize farmers. The
real duty of county agent is to de-
velOp leadership among farmers. If
he fails to do this, he fails as a coun-
ty agent
Director Fluharty traced the his
tory of extension work from the be-
ginning in 1892, in Alabama, to the
present.
Now 80 County Agents
"In 1911 Earl Hall was appointed
the first county agent in Idaho,'' he
said. Development was slow at first
but an impetus Was-@glyen the--Work
during the war, and Idaho had 80
county agents in 1917, or two more
than at present.
"The extension division is now COM
posed of three sections. The admin
istrative section handles the finances
and plans the itineraries for the spec
ialists. The specialists section car
ries the subject matter into the field
demonstrations, lectures and
written articles. The county extern
sion staff, consisting of county agents,
demonstration agents and
boys and girls club agents, Organiz-
es the farm communities and selects
and trains leaders for the various
projects. The county staff is the most
important of the three divisions, as
the other two could not function with
out community organization.
valuable practical results are
shown from the extension work in
his state Crops worth S3000,000
we're saved through the rodent control
department and 100000 worth
through the department of entomol
ogy last year However, such work
s not the most important work of the
service. We strive to give the far
ners the fundamentals of better far

POTLATCH SAWS
Will BUZZ AGAIN
COMPANY ANNOUNCES OPERA.
TIONS TO BE RESUMED
ON MAY FIRST

The announcement comes from Pot
latch that the big plant of the Pot
latch Lumber company at that place
will resume operations on Monday
May 1. The mills at Elk River, own
ed also by the Potlatch company, will
be put in operation as soon as it can
be put in readiness, which it is
thought will be sometime during May
The announcement, given out by A. w
Laird, general manager OF the Pot
latch Lumber company, is welcomed
by residents of both Potlatch and Elk
River, as the mills, which have been
the source of revenue for many fam
lilies, have been closed for nine
months, the first long shutdown since
the POtlatch company began Oper-
atiOnS at POtlatch in 1906.
The Potlatch Lumber company
plant at Potlatch furnishes employ
ment for about 600 men, when Oper-
ating one shift, while about 300 are re-
quired to operate the Elk River plant.
The announcement is made that when
the mills start the operation will be
continuous, as has been the record In
the past, up to the time of closing
down last summer. Many of the men
formerly employed at Potlatch, espec
tally those with families, are still
there and were furnished all the en-
ployment possible by the company
during the shutdown. During the
winter months, local committee kept
closely in touch with the situation
and saw to it that no one was in want
during the period of enforced idle
ness.
Word comes from Potlatch that the
past month has witnessed a heavy in
crease in the demand for lumber, es
pecially for the eastern market, and
many carloads of lumber are being
daily from the yard. The
heavy increase in the demand for
lumber is taken to indicate a general
business revival throughout the coun-
try, with the construction along lines
which usually accompanies a favor
able financial condition.
