The County Agent Situation At the expiration of the first year of its trial,

the very existence of Wayne County's agricul

tural ntrpnrv is now hanerinir in the balance. A

few are in favor of abolishing the office entirely,

others are anxious to retain it, but prefer another agent, while others not only desire an agent but

hope that A. D. Cobb will be retained in the place. Many farmers over the county seem wholly indifferent to the entire question and are not expressing themselves one way or another.

In order to get at the exact cause of the dis

satisfaction with Mr. Cobb, the Palladium had a thorough and independent investigation made. As a result of this, it became apparent that there are no complaints against Mr. Cobb personally. On the contrary, he was well spoken of through

out the county. But there was a great deal of

grumbling because he had not been more active.

Several townships reported that he had entirely failed to arouse any interest in their territory. The trustees said he had visited the neighborhood but a few times and that his meetings had been poorly attended. Among the more definite complaints were these: "He is too diffident, too bashful, doesn't win the confidence of the farmers" : "He is too young we need a more experienced man": "He is not 'heavy' enough for the place" ; "He is not a good public speaker, the thing most needed": "The farmers know the facts. They want somebody to arouse them to action and get things started" : "We ought to have a stronger man for $2,000 a year": "He is not an organizer; an agent can't do everything himself ; he must work through township organizations, and Mr. Cobb hasn't created any organizations." Mr. Cobb's friends meet these arguments by

saying the trustees have been expecting too much i the first year. They point out that Wayne County has five thousand farms and fifty schools i and that it is a physical impossibility for one

man to cover all this ground in one season. They declare that while Mr. Cobb is diffident, he wears well and that farmers like him better as they come to know him better. And that he has accomplished as much as the average agent and would make good if given a reasonable time, is also asserted. Some of them said they had evidence that the objection to Mr. Cobb had been inspired by a few persons through personal prejudice and that these had resorted to clandestine methods of poisoning the minds of the trustees by subtilely colored stories.

To this it may be added that the trustees themselves in their efforts to secure the money in their townships unwittingly raised the farmers' expectancy too high and in their enthusiasm led their constituents to expect far more of an agent than any single man would possibly perform. To this may also be added the trustee's own haste and lack of a thorough investigation in appointing Mr. Cobb in the first place. As per the state law, he was recommended by Purdue University. Without ever having tried him out, the trustees engaged him and paid him at the very start the maximum salary. This has peeved some of the farmers. They think he should have

been started at a more modest figure and been raised as rapidly as he deserved. Two thousand dollars looks big to them and they feel they should have the services of a more seasoned man. From this survey, it will be seen that the blame for the present embarrassing situation is not by any means to be shouldered on any one party in the case. All share in the responsibility and all are under obligations to do their best to

meet it. That Mr. Cobb is a well trained and a sincere man and that he will develop into a first clasp agent, the Palladium believes. That the trustees will act honorably and according to their best judgment, it believes quite as firmly. But that the existence of the county agency is of more importance than the controversy concerning Mr. Cobb it believes more than all. Whatever else is done, the continued existence of the office should first be secured. According to the state authorities, there are not now enough agents to go around and it is highly probable that Wayne County would not be supplied for several months, if Mr. Cobb is released. In that event, it seems certain the interest in the project would so weaken as to make it extremely difficult or even impossible to get the movement under way again. This phase of the question is of greatest importance and should be given first consideration. Mr. Cobb should not be released until a new man is secured. Better an agent giving seventy-five per cent satisfaction than no agent at all.

That the trustees will act conscientiously, there can be no doubt. But it is hoped that Purdue University will be consulted and thoroughly acquainted with the entire situation before any action is taken. It is also to be hoped the trustees will make a completer canvass of their townships than they yet seem to have done. A dozen active individuals can give more color to a thing than hundreds who stand by to leave it take its course. Wayne County was the first in the state to teach agriculture in its schools. It was the first to establish a manual training high school. It has always led Indiana in the movement to make school training useful for life's business as well as for life itself. It was one of the first to ask for a county agent. If it falls down at this point, it will be as disgraceful as it is costly. For these reasons, the public trusts that the county officials will give as much consideration to the importance of retaining the county agent's office as to seeing that it is occupied by a man of the required measurements.

Says This Old-time Eczema Remedy is Applied Like Cold Cream.

Any irritation or breaking out on the face, arms, legs or body when accompanied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be readily over' come by applying a little bold-sulphur cream, says a noted dermatologist. He states that bold-sulphur instantly allays the angry itching and irritation and soothes and heals the Eczema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of its parasite-destroying property. Nothing has ever been found to take it's place in treating the irritable and inflammatory skin affections. While not always establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irritation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin. Those troubled should obtain at any pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream which is applied to the affected parts in the same manner as an ordinary cream. This is published for Walter L. Dodge Co., Cincinnati.
