The growth and the strengthening of the county agent system has resulted In almost all cases In the county agents coming to be recogn' d ns the agri cultural leaders in their counties, ac cording to reports to the United States department of agriculture. .^Help for City and Country. The county agent Tins come to net as the clearing house of co-operation. He Is available to both the city man and the country man and' can trans mit from one to the other requests for help und offers of help. He can di rect, to places where It is needed, farm labor offered; he can assist farmers In their problem of eo-operatlve market*.

Must Concentrate Efforts. Every county agent Is required to know and observe that his services be long to all the people In his county, hut It Is. evident that none of his time in.be given’to work that does not concMm agricultural development: He Is plamKBi the county to stimulate good farndnftsTherefore, he must con fine himself to wo<k on o definlte prob lems affecting fanning.

In the war Emergency the- county agents are not only representing the agricultural colleges and the xlepart- ment of agriculture, .hut are assisting the food administration, the treasury department, the war department, the navy department, the department of Justice and the department of labor. Help in Direct War Work. They have aided, in addition to their regular activities, In such work as food surveys, seed "Siifveys, seed distribution, obtaining credit for farm ers, selling Liberty, bonds, eradication of live-stock diseased, surveys of live stock diseases, surveys of Insect pests and campaigns for their destruction, _ marketing farm products, preferential y or priority shipments by railroads of farm products and all farm supplies, ynd the dissemination of Information given out by the war department, the council of national defense and the comm’ttee on public Information re garding the war and other matters af fecting the notional policy under war conditions.

In- • stead of 2,r>00 members, he got • 3,000 In a county that has'only ^ 1,(300 voters. In September the club members are to send • 3.000 hogs to the St. Louis mar- • ket. This will mean a contrl- • button estimated at $10,000'to ^ the Red Cross, in addition to tr more pork for the country and • more money for Carroll county. • A $25 registered pig is given J each month as a prize to the i> member whose pig has made • the greatest gain. — ■ — * <x Aid Farmer*. When a business concern wants to borrow money It makes a business statement showing the Inventory—or money invested at the .beginning and endof the year—the money taken in djuring the year, the expenses and the profits. With this statement a hanker knows whether or not IT Is safe to loafi money to this, company—In other words, whether the company has a' good chance of securing profitable re turns from a further investment in their business. A cduipm*y with a good business, as shown by such a statement, usually has good credit and can borrow money cheaply. There are many fanners. in this dry who keep records of what they paye on hand at the beginning and en<rof>fhe year and of what they take In and whivt they spend.. These men can borrow'Hipney more easily and cheaply than imM. farmers be cause they have the figure to show the banker. But before a farmer borrows a money he should have very clearly In ntlnd what lie wants to use .lt for, and be* very sure that lif the end It will pay hlpt to borrow.
