COBB AGRICULTURAL AGENT FOB COUNTY Is Appointed By Board of Education Begins Work In July.

The board of education of Wayne county yesterday afternoon agreed to accept the recommendation to appoint Alexander D. Cobb as Wayne County's agricultural agent. Mr. Cobb wa recommended by Prof. O. I. Christie of Purdue and T. A. Coleman of Rushville. The acceptance of Mr. Cobb was not unanimous as some of the members of the board believed a man with a more general knowledge of agriculture should be obtained. Mr. Cobb is especially well versed in soil analysis and animal husbandry. The contract between Cobb and Christie had already been made giving the position here to Cobb though It had to be approved by the county board. A few of the farmers and trustees believed a choice of more than one man should have been offered the board with different qualifications. Mr. Cobb is now operating an experimental farm in Aurora, Ind., where he specializes in Jersey cows and Duroc hogs. He is a graduate of Purdue

University and is twenty eight years of age. Since completing his course In 1911 at Purdue he has had considerable experience with the Purdue experimental station and had charge of the Indiana Agricultural exhibit at South Carolina where the famous Kellogg corn trophy was awarded to Joseph Helms, a prominent Wayne county farmer. At many of the county fairs where agricultural exhibits were held, Mr. Cobb was employed by the state to make demonstrations. Before Mr. Coleman spoke yesterday afternoon a resolution was passed by the farmers who attended the mass meeting in the office of County Supt. Williams that a soil and crop expert should be obtained. Headquarters at Court House. Mr. Cobb will begin his official duties in Wayne county July 1. He will be furnished offices on the first floor of the court house as soon as possible though his headquarters will temporarily be in the office of County Supt. Williams.

the harvester Investigation. When Grosvenor asked him if he remembered how much stock the McCormick interests took in the Harvester company when it was organized, Perkins replied, "No I do not remember. Do you remember what you paid for your wife's hat several years ago? The trouble is you are looking at this from the point of view that is not a business point of view." The witness testified that the Harvester company borrowed $19,000,000 in London, Paris and Berlin, spent it for wages and making machinery, most of which was sold in Russia and other countries.
