UNKNOWN WARSHIP GOES TO BOTTOM

Johnston, Richmond; Samuel Mather, Spring Grove, and the new township trustees, Emmett J. Wright, Joel Moore, Charles Bond, Alexander Abbott, William CurtlsB. Enos Veal, William Wilson, A. E. Ehle, William Porter. Thompson Reynolds, Charles J. Atkinson, George W. Crull, J. O. Edgerton and William Moore. All were present except three. The board was in caucus forty-five minutes, with Mr. Wissler acting as chairman. George Crull. the new trustee of Washington township. Joel Moore of Boston township, vVilliam Moore of Webster township, and several other of the trustees took stands against the agent, refusing to promise support. Use Old Canvass Data. The attitude of the incoming trustees in almost every case, was the

same as the retiring trustee of the

Ola township. Several trustees argued j against the agent and pointed to the

canvass made by the old trustees.

Practically every canvass the attitude of the trustee. T. A. Coleman indicated

citizens of the county have taken a wrong view of the county agent work, condemning it because immediate results were not shown. He said if the office were conducted according to their ideas, a man would wear out an automobile every year and wear himself out in ten years, and at the end of that time there would not be a spot in the county which showed improvement. Explains Payment.

Some complaint was made against the statement of Mr. Coleman that the I state pays $1,000 a year towards the j office maintenance. The trustees said that Wayne county people pay the i taxes which go into the state fund.

Mr. Coleman replied that last year Wayne county paid $400 towards the fund and received $1,000 and if the

county agent Is not hired, it will continue to pay $400 and receive nothing, but if the agent is employed, the county will again receive $1,000 annually from the state in return for the $400 taxes. The old trustees apparently had nothing to do with the refusal of the board to accept the county agent. However, since the election determined who the new trustees will be, strenuous personal work has been going on. even to the extent of enter

tainments for the men who will hold the votes after the present incumbents leave office. Drop Matter Now. The new board returned a report that the resolution which provided for

the caucus would be concurred in. I This resolution was to the effect that : the county agent matter should be ! dropped now and taken up for dis- ! cussion again at the meeting in May. Jesse Stevens, a well known hortieulturalist and for years regarded as the best corn grower in the state, declared that he had secured for himself

a state-wide reputation as the champ-' ion liar because he had grown 100 j : bushels of corn to the acre. "Joe Helms who took my place has ;

reflected i the same reputation,' Mr. Stevens de-! j dared. "Only a few of us high class, that the : agriculturalists can see the value of !

spending a dollar on a specialist but; the farmer, the man at the plow who i cannot raise forty bushels of corn to! the acre, and says it was a dry spell; that caused the small crop will swear to you he knows more about farming than a trained man. j "The question before the farmers is, "Are you willing to back up an agent, j accept his science and throw away! your ignorance?' Put to a vote in this j county, ninety per cent of the farm-; ers would say, -No!' and continue to ; raise small crops. That's the bunch: who need an agent to help them." ; Shows His Value. The state head of county agents,; Mr. Coleman declared that county1 agent would be considered successful ' it at the end of ten years, he increased the yield of corn one bushel an acre,

annual income in-

in this county an

crease of $42,500. Mr, Coleman said he has seven other counties in the state who want Lewis Li. Heller, who was being considered today, to start work January 1, and as he had never recommended Mr. Heller for this county, neither were disappointed by the action. "I was not given to understand this situation existed," Mr. Heller said after the board announced its decis

ion. "I am perfectly satisfied that the! board decided as it did. It is better j to have no agent than to -have one j working against opposition." j Both Mr. Heller and Mr. Coleman! left immediately after the meeting fori
