present eounty agent. The lne;dcnt I
was the outcropping of feeling that (
has existed among some farmers since i
a similar affair in the first part of May j
when a delegation from one faction of ;
the farmers protested against the re- !
nrjiiiuii ui inu tuning <i?>i.'tii ?ki?i ??ii- |
other came to his defense. Mr. Spar- '
row, in presenting the potilion, declared
that the sentiment of the farm- '<
ers of the county is strongly in favor
of a new county a pent, as evidenced
by a large number of signers. It was
contended that tin* present county
spent had shown himself incapable oft
tilling the office as it should bi* tilled
and that many of the farmers want a
change. He^? further stated that. Mr.'
flownn had'proved himself unable to
solve the practical problems of the
farmers. .There were about .'!*"? signers
from the two townships of South
Point and flastonia. lie explained, lie
.' aid that no effort had been made to
secure signers in Chorryvillc township.
When one of the commissioners asked j
Mr. Sparrow why they did not can-j
vass Cherryvillc township his reply j
was that they "just conceded it" to I
Mr. (lowan's supporters. The petition
did not make any definite charge
against Mr. flowan or his work. Thm
petition merely rend: "We, the undersigned,
respectfully petition the
board of commissioners of (iaston
county to make a change in the office!
of county agent." While Mr. Sparrow j
was having his talk, Mr. Gowan was
sitting quietly taking it in. When Mr.
Sparrow had finished speaking, Mr.
Gowan arose and asked him what lie
considered to be the duties and work
of the county demonstration agent.
Mr. Sparrow replied that he didn't !
have time to outline a year's work for '
a county demonstration agent. "Well," !
Mr. Gowan replied, "what can we j
measure the services of Dh county
agent by?" Mr. Sparrotv seemed unable
to find a satisfactory answer. He
left the room before Mr. Cowan had a
chance to continue his questions. At j
the conclusion of this tilt Mr. H. Van j
Sellers arose to make a statement.
"I do not know how lona the office o!
cdunty agent has been malntifined i:i
the county," he said, "but," he emphatically
declared. "I do know that
Mr. Cowan has done moct for CJaston !
county than all the other count\ !
agents put together." Inasmuch as
the county agent had been elected for
the period of a year, and since no definite
charges had been made against .
him, the commissioners thought it un- j
wise to take any action an the inattoi
it the present. Mr. Cowan's seat of I
apposition seems to be in Jhe Union J
and I'isgnh sections, while'his* strongest'support
seems to be found in the
Pherryvillc and Sunn^side .communities.
