County Agent Notes

Mr.. Fred Bennion, county agent
leader, met last Thursday afternoon
with committee men from different
communities in the county to dis
cuss plans for developing a long
time agricultural program for Sher-
idan county.
In his talk Mr.. Bennion pointed
out the fact that the primary object
of an Agricultural Program was to
develop WAYS and means of making
more money in the farming game
with the resources we now have.
He said that there are four factors
that limit profits in farming, esDec-
tally in periods of low prices. These
factors are: first. physical limta-
tions (such as soils and climate);
second, practices (methods of till
age); third, organization of farming
system and best combinations of
enterprises; fourth. managerial abil
ity of the farmer himself.
Ii is impossible to alter or change,
to any extent, the first of the above
factors. In the past years the Ex
tension organization has been de-
voting the greater part of their time
to developing new practices, such
as methods of tillage, pure seed,
etc. among the farmers. The Ser
vice has realized thst there are
other things that determine, to
a large extent. as to whether or
not farmer makes any money dur
ing the year. The factor that will
receive a great deal of attention in
the future will be the organization
of the different farming systems. Ii
will be necessary to determine what
combinations OF enterprises are net
ting the farmers the greatest profit.
AT series of community meet
iDes that will be held in the county
this summer, information will be
gathered relative to the success Of
different types of farming The in
formation will then be compiled and
