COUNTY EXTENSION
PROGRAM ENLARGED

During recent months, extensive
garden campaigns, enlarged food
preservation projects, emergency un-
employment, crop production loans and
the distribution of federal flour and
feed wheat in Washington, have given
the county agent major role in deal
ing with community and county eco
nomic problems, reports F. E. Balmer,
extension director, Washington State
college, A recent survey shows that
many county extension facilities are
being heavily taxed to meet the en-
larged county program Of farm and
home readjustments.
Cooperating with their local extern
sion office many counties are turning
vacant lots and available farm land
into gardens for the unemployed
Wenatchee and Chelan counties are
being assisted in a relief campaign by
A. r. Chase, county agent. G. G. Izett,
Clark county agent, has assisted the
Red Cross in the distribution of gar
den seed to over 200 families of the
unemployed. Emergency garden ac-
tivities in Kitsap county are almost
comparable to conditions during the
war years, reports 6. N. Worden,
county agent. Meanwhile, HON e
demonstration agents are emphasizing
canning and other food preservation
projects.
County agents in practically every
county of the state were instrumental
in forming the local set-up for the adj
ministration Of crop production loans
which will enable many farmers with
out credit to carry on through the
coming crop year. Special relief was
brought to families in the Washing
ton drought areas Of Grant, Lincoln,
Douglas, Adams and Franklin counties,
through the distribution of free flour
and feed wheat in cooperation with
the Red Cross. Free flour is also be-
ing made available in other areas
where conditions are acute.
The excellent response received by
county agents from numerous CO.
operating agencies, in dealing with
urgent community and county prob
lens, constitutes a favorable sign that
Washington is emerging from any
crisis that may have faced the state,
says Director Balmer. Agriculture, the
real support of civilized order and
economy must be maintained and the
county agent is playing an important
part in filling this need.

When World. Were Born

Where do meteorites and shooting
stars come from? Astronomers believe
that millions Of years ago, when the
suns family Of worlds was born, there
was great planet revolving between
Mars and Jupiter. For some unknown
reason this planet exploded, giving
birth itself to vast family of tiny
planets of which over q thousand IRE
known. It is Of the smaller fragments
that the meteorites are formed. Shoot
Ing stars are believed to be a kind of
celestial smithereens resulting from
the destruction Of comets. In certain
cases comets themselves have failed
to put in an appearance when they
were due to return, but great showers
Of shooting stars have occurred In
stead.
