(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agrieulture.)
 If county agent work continues to advance in the B northern and western states at the average rate 1t has maintained during the past II years, or since it's beginning. every county in these states will have a resi- dent agent within the next three years. Of the 1,616 agricultural counties in these states, ,239 have agents, accord ing to the report issued by the United States Department of Agriculture as Department Circular 244. 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 loo 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 lay stin- ulating agriculture and facilitating the distribution of agricultural products. In period of about 10 months during 191s, 5+4 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 a million dollars of federal support. brought real crisis in the developm nt of the work. A considerable loss of agents was com. monly foreeastea Farmers rallied te she support of the work, however, ip

now reached by a resident agent, and these counties contain v per cent of the total number of farms of the B states according to the 1920 census. It 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 tained before the war. Commenting further on the status of the county agent. the report says:
 "There is gradually developing in some states d definite plan or agri- cultural program of work looking to- ward the future and having in mind q permanent agriculture based on the character of the population, soil. labor distribution and marketing conditions The need of such q program has long been recognized and it's absence lamented as the chief limiting factar in the effectiveness of extension work Such Il program requires painst8kin& study and careful elaboration and hut 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 Hill 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 af fundamental agricultural conditions, with rather clear vision If future possibilities.
 Community Program of Work.
 "The emphasis that has been placed on extension programs may he mis- applied if the basic agricultural pro gram is not carefully thought out and the extension services of the colleges and department organized to meet these conditions This is matter which the county agents have to con slider with the farmers in developing q county and the community program of work, and the questions raised bY them have served to give renewed emphasis to the need of state pro grams in agricultural Improvement Such state plans as have been de veloped in the pact two years have for the most part been a combination and elaboration of the county programs worked out by county agents in co- operation with farmers committees and these county plans will go far in helping to supply the raw materials for the complete working out of per manent state plan of work The analysis of county extension programs Tn relation 10 agricultural statistics is calling attention to deficiencies or wrong emphasis, and so making for county programs based on real rather than apparent agricultural needs"
