County Farm Agent.

There are many counties inisthe
State who are now employing a farm
Superintendent, and those counties
who have one say that they could not
do without such aid. ~
MessFs Herbert Smith, John Leet
and Walter Bowen, of Taylor county,
were here last Thursday, to go before
the Fiscal Court OF Adair and tell it
of the advantages to be derived from
such an officer. The county is expect
ed to pay portion of the salary, and
he states that the court could not
make better investment He furth-
or stated that the improvement in
farm conditions and also stock had
been wonderful in Taylor county.
Mr.. Smith thinks that Adair county
would make great mistake If it re-
fuses to do its part, as county, for a
farm agent. A farm agent looks af-
ter all the interests touching the
the farm, and will be great money
saver.
Since writing the above the Fiscal
court has made an allowance of six
hundred dollars toward the salary of
alarm superintendent, and Mr.. G R.
Reed has raised more than that
amount by private subscription The
Government will give as much as the
county and individuals have subscrib-
ed, making the salary sufficient to
employ an, experienced man. There
is nothing like progressive farming,
and the day has come when the agri-
culturists Of Adair county are ready
for all improved m sthods Mr.. J.. j.
Fitzpatrick was here representing the
