And What the County Agent Can Do for Our Farmers. The most promising undertaking yet attempted in American agriculture is the county agent movement. The county agent is an agricultural expert employed by a particular county in the state to give practical first-hand help to the farmers of that section. At the present time some thirteen hundred agents are constantly at work in over a thousand counties of the country. The county agent movement might very properly be termed a “demobiliza- tion of agricultural experts” For years there was a tondency to cbn- centrate these men in the bureaus at Washington, at the experiment sta- tions, and at the agricultural colleges, a large part of the annual agricultural appropriations bemg devoted to these activities. It is true that at these places these men were able to carry on scientific work that could have heen exceedingly helpful to the farmer: but, however that may be, it is an unforturate fact that matters never worked out that way. Millions of builetins and_other pamphlets containing the results of this work were prnted and distrib- uted among the farmers in wholesale fashion, but all to little purpose as regards their practical helpfulness. It is estimated that nat more than 10 per cent. of the farmers of the country have been accustomed to make use of such publications. The county agent idea is changing all of this. The cxperts are being demobilized; that is, scattered to the far ends of our country, and the near- er places, too, of course, where they are working in direct contact with the farmers. Tne bureais and experiment stations are still ictive, but henceforth Jess stress will be laid upon laboratory theory and experimentation as re- ards agricullure, and more upon tual practice upon the farm. This revoiution in the meikods of educational work among the farmers is the development mainly of the past decade, the s in parti ular showing and steady e pansion in the agents employel. there were about nin agents all told at w states. A vear later the number had grown to over eleven hundred. These men live in the county. ly at the county seat, and th vices are av w0 any pe: call. This resident reiationshi sure to make him vice. If he makos ror starés him continually in the face. He cam't get away from it. These county men do not pose as experts capable of answering every inquiry made. If they have not bad actual experience on the questions asked, they are so situatad in their relation to the agricultural collese and the fed- eral department of agriculture that they can get in touch with some agency which can give the desired if such is possiple. They arc thox fore resident represcntatives in agri- culture, locatcd taroughout the state, on the ground where they can he of the most use to the man who most needs th ehelp, Many a farmer will ask a question persorally or over the telephone who would not sit down and laboriously write out a letter, sending id, |1t to the coilege at Madison, regarding some problem that bothers him. The county agricuitural agent can help you stop hoz holera, test your cattle for tubercuiosis, show how to disinfect your grains for smut, zet improved kinds of sced, help you pick out a better sire, vour "soil for acidity, compound a spraying mixture, organize for any purpose, aid in mar- keting your surplus crops, develop a system of simple farm accounts, show you how to build a soptic tank for dis- posal of house sewage, and numerous other problems that are constantly arising in connection with our diversi- fled agriculture.
