WHAT FARMER THINKS OF THE COUNTY AGENT.

The states relations service of < the United States department of ] agriculture has on file thou- i sands of letters from farmers 1 telling of help tjjey have received from county agents. The following is quoted from a letter written by W. H. Harvey, a farmer of Long Beach, Cal.: i “Farming is no longer a blundering job. It Is growing into a science. To succeed, organization, method, system and scientific Knowledge are needed. These steps are developed and brought about or made possible by the right kind of a county agent. He is, therefore, a ; trained, skilled man in personal ■ touch with the farmer to help i solve, the thousand and one ‘ farm problems as they come up , and has at his beck and call the ] scientific men of this great i country.”
