I had been raised on an Iowa farm
and the family received an occasional
periodical containing drawings. I liked
to look at them, but that is as far as
I was interested in art.
my brother had already left home
and entered the insurance business.
I was inclined to follow his example.
So far as the ability to draw a line
was concerned, was a total loss. How
ever, figured that I ought to learn
how to do something, no matter what,
and chose art.

with little or no thought Of the pro-
fession I was entering. It might just
as well have been engineering, for all
I cared. ~.

AS on other occasions, Elizabeth was
moved by Sir Walters words. In two

in Sheridan County show that 62
home visits have been made by the

were made by the County Agent.
! This constitutes the field work which
has been done by the two agents.
The number of official calls was
1921, 2281 bulletins were distributed,
1858 Individual letters were sent
out from this office, 1866 circular
letters, 90 meetings were held in the
county. These meetings were for
the purpose of kitchen Improvement
work, 4-h Club work, and meetings
fir agricultural purposes. Twenty
of registered grain crops that are
| particularly adapted to this country
| This is an increase of 20 per cent
over that amount of registered grain
raised in this county last year. Nine
crop variety demonstrations were
carried on under the supervision OF
the County Agent for the purpose OF
testing out new grains which looked
promising for this county. 1t is by
| this method that new varieties are
| determined that are best adopted to
the county. Eleven demonstrations
were conducted to control perennial
weeds such as Canadian thistle, Sow
| .histle, Quack Grass and Bind Weed
| This is the first year in which this
| chemical has been used in Sheridan
County. Twenty-Five acres of cer-
tilted potatoes were grown under
state supervision this year. This
acreage is equal to last years. The
reason for no increase is that the
| production CT potatoes is highly
specialized business. This year the
County Agent distributed 10000 lbs
Of poison oats for gopher poison
This will reduce the destruction which
is brought about by gophers. $l,50C
was paid out in bounty for gophers
md rabbits. BY the above you will see
what has been done in This county in
onnection with rodent control. The
work which has been carried on in re.
gard to the livestock industry is
principally along the lines Of disease
control. Several postmoltem exami
nations were held and it was founo
that the prevailing disease for The
rast year was blackleg. In a few
cases death was caused by poor feed
ing and poor management. Twelve
appointing demonstrations were helt
IN different communities in the coun
y as a result of which there was ap
proximately 5000 capons which will
be marketed during the months o.
February and March. They bring
as much per pound as No. l turkeys
this will tend to make the poultry in

sirable. The office has sponsored

instruction in the building of poultr.
houses. This has been one Of th
points stressed during the past year
