now reached by resident agent, and
these counties contain II per cent of
the total number of farms of the 80
states according to the 1920 census. 1t
would seem, therefore, says the writer
of this report, that, at least from the
standpoint of the number Of farms per
county, the average county without an
agent is relatively as important as
those with agents, and that the work
should go on to rapid completion, or at
least go forward at the rate main
tanned before the war Commenting
further on the status Of the county
agent, the report says:
There is gradually developing in
some states a definite plan or agri-
cultural program of work looking to-
ward the future and having in mind
permanent agriculture based on the
character of the population, soil, labor
distribution and marketing conditions.
The need of such a program has long
been recognized and it's absence
lamented as the chief limiting factor
in the effectiveness, of extension work.
Such a program requires painstaking
study and careful elaboration, and but
few institutions have possessed either
money or facilities to undertake such
work. The development of farm man
agement and farm economics depart
ments in the colleges will make the
working out of such programs possible.
No extension program can be assured
ly sound that is not based on such
study and analysis of fundamental
agricultural conditions, with rather a
clear vision of future possibilities.
Community Program of Work.
THE emphasis that has been placed
on extension programs may be mis-

prepared by the United States Department
of AgrtcuNure.)
If county agent work continues to
advance in the 80 northern and
western states at the average rate it
has. maintained during the past IL
years, or since its beginning, every
county in these states, will have resi-
dent agent within the next three years.
Of the 1,616 agricultural counties in
these states, 1929 have agents, accord
ing to the report issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture as
Department Circular PA, on the Status
and Results of County Agent Work in
the Northern and Western States,
1921.
The county agent work, says the re-
port, made a conservative and uniform
growth from 1913 to 1917 of about 100
new counties each year. Then came
the artificial stimulation of the large
appropriation authorized by the war
emergency act, which provided for
national security and defense by slim
ulating agriculture and facilitating
the distribution Of agricultural
products. In a period of about 10
months during 1918, 544 agents were
appointed. The conclusion Of the war
so soon after the appointment Of this
large additional force and the with
drawal of more than million dollars
of federal support, brought a real
crisis in the development of the work.
A considerable loss of agents was COM
monty forecasted. Farmers rallied to
the support of the work, however, in
these new counties in most surpris-
ing way. Agricultural colleges sacri-
feed some other lines of work in order
to retain contact with the county. In
stead of loss, there was an increase
of 20 agents the first year after the
war.
Work Should Go On.
About 80 per cent of the agricultural
counties of the North and West are

fact that many of these animals are

DIVERSIFIED FARMING BEsD.
Yields Most Profit, Distributes RisIe
and Gives Year-Round Employ
ment, Says Russell.

Permanent agriculture for the mas
ton and profitable farming for the in-
dividual rests upon a system OF diver
sified production, is the belief of FL. La
Russell, dean Of the Wisconsin College
of Agriculture.
No industry is subject to as many
risks as farming. These hazards, ac-
cording to Russell, are partly due to-
uncomfortable climatic conditions and
partly to losses from plant and ami
NAL diseases, comfortable to a certain
extent if care is taken.
But" he adds, ''the farmer who dis
tributes these risks by engaging in al
variety Of farm enterprises pays Off
his mortgage, improves his farm and
home, educates his children, enjoys
life, and has a bigger bank account
than the man who follows only one
line"
AS proof of this statement, he cites
the results Of a census taken by al
farm accountant In Wisconsin eoun-
ty. This survey showed that the rel
alive proftableness in farming was dis
rectly related to the number of farm
lines that were followed. True, dairy
ing was the big source of income,
yielding about so per cent of the total
returns. But the figures Indicated
that the dairy farm that had hogs and
chickens and grew a variety Of crops
to furnish much of the feed needed
for the live stock yielded consider
ably larger income than the highly
specialized farm engaged In a single
line.
Diversified farming, as viewed by
Russell, is the one means of employ
ing labor continuously throughout the
year. No manufacturing concern can
produce a profitable product If the
plant is idle for a large portion Of the
year. The overhead costs are too
great. The same thing holds true on
the farm that raises only grain, and
neglects live stock with its continuous
round Of daily care and attention. It's
costs are too high because Of seasonal
employment.

Farmers should grow more of the
food they consume and buy less OF
food produced outside their immedl-
ate locality is the consensus of opinion
of $4,000 farmers in all parts OF che
country recently questioned on the
subject by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The survey
showed that of the food consumed by
farmers and their families 70 per cent
is produced locally, and nearly 30 per
cent is brought in by railroad. In
the Judgment of the farmers 70 per
cent Of the food they consume could
be economically produced locally.
In a general way the survey indi-
Gated that the more isolated farmers
produce more Of their foodstuffs than
the less isolated, and that the more
prosperous sections seem to buy more
than the less prosperous. The thought
back of the survey was that inasmuch
as high freight rates have had a
tendency to reduce the prices of prod
ucts which farmers sell, and to in
crease the prices Of the things they buy,
they might economically produce
more of their home requirements and
thus become less dependent upon the
railroads and the outside world.
By sections of the country the East
South Central states, including Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Missis-
sippi, led in the volume Of production
for home consumption with 75.2 per
cent. The smallest volume Of home
production is in the New England
States, including Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode
Island and Connecticut with ISL per
cent.
