 An old friend told Us before We took tne appointment that you cant work WITH Ernest Gruen- ing. you nave to work FOR him. Dozens of incidents along the way have proven the friend too true.
 For a time when We first went to Juneau, Spence and Ann DeLong ran our paper. Feeling a bit face tious one day, they took a hum orous ap at then Secretary of lu ,elor Harold L. Ickes. Ye gods, did the welkin ring in Juneau. Er- nest demanded an immediate apoI- ogy to the Secretary.

NP)-About $4,000 rural color

fiscal year which ended last June,
said Director NJ. L. Wilson in his
in his annual report to the secre-
tary of agriculture.
Amng those served by a staff of
of IT'S colored Extension workers
were $4,000 farm families. and
100000 nonfarm families. In
Guided in these families were 31T,-
900 Al boys and girls.
Director Wilson lists among the
results achieved through the Elk

The improved farming methods
included crop Investigation, pas

ing system.
BY 1919, however, 25 colored
farmers in the county were SELL
ing grade B. milk to a cheese fac
tory, and 10 of them had excell-
ent food and pasture programs. In
fact, says Mr.. Wilson, only two of
the families purchased as much as
SIS worth of feed during the
year.
Among the home improvement
practices noted were better diets
as a result of more homegrown
food, and more extensive food pre-
servation. Nearly 100000 families
produced more fruits, vegetables,
meats, poultry, and eggs for home
use last year, and 10000 home
makers received training in can
ming, freezing, drying and storing
of food.
The families also improved their
housing. Director Wilson reports
that Extension agents helped 5000
colored families plan the con-
struction of new homes, and more
than twice that number remodel
their homes. More than 5000 were
aided in the installation of water
systems, and $4,000 were given in
formation and training in repair
ing, remodeling, and refinishing
furniture.
