DUTIES OF COUNTY AGENTS

He Is /4ot a Mere “Adviser” but a Field Secretary to Encourage a Community of Action. County agricultural agents are some times referred to as “county advisers? This implies a misunderstanding of the real work of the agent. Advisory work is a part of the agent’s duties, but is a minor part. The county agricultural agent has about half a dozen principal functions: - (1) He studies the agriculture of the county to learn what is being done and what is worth while agriculturally in each part of it. This study Includes farm financial and organization surveys. (2) He gives the results of his studies to farmers, not in the way of advice, but as facts observed and conclusions drawn. This is, done through the local press, lectures, institutes, circulars, short courses, and personal interview. ' } (3) Based on these local studies and the ascertained needs of the county, clubs,* associations, and the like'are organized and the Individuals solicited to undertake definite lines of agricultural improvement on their own farms. Organizations are also formed fcr co-operative buying and marketing and the standardization of farm products. (4) He endeavors to co-ordinate all existing agricultural agencies within the county, so that all may work unitedly" and efficiently. (5) He develops local leadership. The task .of improving the agriculture of an entire county, is so stupendous that the agent must be primarily an administrator. He must inspire and accept the help of voluntarily assist-ants-in work. (6) He acts as the connecting link between the scientists of the research institutions of the state and nation and the farmer, presenting the results of investigations in such a way that the farmer can use them, and calling attention of scientists to-the local agricultural problems of the county and soliciting their assistance. (7) He gives advice. This may relate to spraying, seed treatment, mixing fertilizers, combating insect pests, cultural practices, or other miscellaneous matter which is the stock in trade of every well-informed agent The giving of advice is seventh on the list, because in actually improving the agriculture of the county it is probably of least importance, though in point of time it may be the first work undertaken. —Warsaw Daily Union.

EARLY PLOWING BEST

By E. T. Robbins, Agent, Tazewell County, Illinois.

Early plowing is much the best for corn. It has many advantages. When plowing early, one can plow deeper than he can later on and still get a satisfactory seed bed. Whether it is sod or corn stalk ground, the early plowing allows the plowed ground to make a better connection with the soil below and any trash or stalks becomes well surrounded with soil and gets an early start at rotting. Rotten corn stalks do not interfere with tue passage of moisture through the ground as do stalks plowed under just before corn planting time. These early plowed stalks also make less trouble for cultivation.

One of the main advantages of early plowing is that it prevents evaporation of moisture and so allows the soil to hold a full stock of moisture for the use of the crop. Another important advi-ntage is found in mellow seed bed produced by early plowing. Before the land has baked, the soil plows up mellow and it is possible to make a seed bed without the objectionable clods. A still further advantage of early plowing is that it allows the weed seeds an opportunity to sprout and be killed by discing or harrowing before corn is planted. Early plowing and subsequent discing and harrowing also do more than anything else to kill out tjie corn root aphis or louse, which causes so much damage with corn in old ground. Taking all these things into consideration it is not surprising that corn on land whch was plowed early frequently yields 19 or 26 bushels more than corn on land plowed late. ■

FIRST AID TO BARLEY.

If, after the barley seeding is done, wet weather sets in before the plants appear on the surface, a crust will be formed which the young plant cannot penetrate. In order to prevent the smothering of the young plant this crust must be destroyed with a harrow as soon as the land is dry enough to do it. If the ground is la condition and the barley 1b up from two or three inches in height, it may be advisable to roll wlth a corrugated roller or use a spike harrow. Thia has a tendency to retard the main shaft and allow the side shafts to develop most vigorously resulting in a more vigorous growth.

NO HOG CHOLERA HERE.

Branch county. Mfcnigan, has been selected by the agricultural department at Michigan as one of those counties for making demonstrations and distributing Hog Cholera Seram m an effort to Stamp out the disease. These selected counties in which every type of work thought to be beneficial in stamping out Hog Cholera is taken up, should prove of untold value later in helping to rid the oou»> try of this stourge. , , . — - .

ROADS AND ROAD MAKING

ROAD BUILDING IN OHIO. Novel Method Adopted by Which Each Donated lUs flhare. The laws of the State of Ohio give township trustees the power to levy a tax of six mills per dollar on all taxable property, which money must be used exclusively for stone roads. We have been carrying this levy for . several years to raise funds for Stone roads, but as the valuation at our township is rather small and the law further provides that trustees may accept by donation either money or labor we recently gave our people an opportunity to donate; that is, we would give them two or three weeks, on some of ouf main roads, to raise money by donation, with the privilege of working out the amount subscribed, or to pay in cash, by hand or by team work; hand labor at the rate of $1.19 per day and team work at $3 per day. The rule has been that the community raising the largest donation should receive Its road first In 1999 spring there was a contest one raising a donation of $1,680 and the other $11,056. Some farmers on the direct line of the road subscribed as much as SBOO each, says J. L. Peters of Carroll Township, in Good Roads Magazine. Road building with us is just in its infancy. Up to 'the present time we have built only three miles, but out people all want more. Although we have had clay soli to contend with our roads are giving pretty good satisfaction. In the construction of our roads we first prepare our grade or earth bed by thoroughly draining it. This we recognise as being one of the most Important features for building a successful road. We next excavate the earth to one-half the thickness of the stone to be put tn. Before putting in the stone, however, our sub-grade is thoroughly rolled down by our ten ton roller. The first layer of stone is put in four or five inches thick, consisting of stone running from three to four inches well screened to size and well rolled. This is followed by another layer of same size in like manner, also well rolled, and then just enough screenings put on to fill up all voids and bond the stone, and again rolled.

The third, or last, layer consists of stone running in sise from one to two inches put on two or three inches thick, well rolled, with only enough screenings to bond the stone, and leaving the road with a smooth finish. Care is necessary .whore a narrow track of stone road is built to keep same above the earth road and with enough crown to allow all water to run readily to the sides or gutters. We start our grade with a crown of throe or four Inches, which we hold until the road is complete. The first taro miles of road built were constructed under favorable circumstances, as we had to haul the stone but one said one-half miles, and teams made seven and eight trips apiece per day. It required about 2,5b0 tons of stone to the mile. We have been using limestone, and last year we had to pay 97 cento per ton f. o. b. cars at Oak Harbor. This year we were compelled to par 80 cents per ton. The average east of a road ten feet Wide sjid tea inches thick would. I estimate, bo about $3,200 per mile. We built -one-of our main roads sixteen feet/wide, ton inches thick ta center and flee Inches on the sides, this cost us $1,999 per mile, the cost of course depending upon the cost of material and the distance st which It has to be hauled. In this estimate labor, fuel fcr road roller, and other expenses, the donated labor being counted the same jw: hired teb«r, are figured comgleto. We own our (road roller, and we tend this»one of ’ the most necessary Implements fur road building and tor xepalrlngi the old roads.
