Laurens, Jan. 12. — C. B. Gannon, i Newberry, Jan. 12.—General chair-
cqunty farm agent, reoentjy c^Jinplet- ’
cd the compilation of his annual re
port, copies of which have been for
warded to headquarters. The report
of the county agent is a voluminous
document, containing more than ^ 100
pages of type-written data pertaining
to the agricultural progress of the
county. — ^
Under different headings, the vari
ous departments embraced in the
cotittty agent’s program are treated
cciaprehenjuvcly. The special demon
strations, including thoie ip xomreot-
ton, oats, soil building, terracing, ani
mal husbandry, horticulture, poultry
aniT'others, were given much atten
tion, and the records show encourag
ing results and distinct progress.
Mr. Cannon had an ambitious pro
gram for 1920, and his work was
made, more successful by the coopera-
tion of his special farm council, the
4-H.club organizations, and the men
and women of the county who take
p^de and interest in agriculture and
rural life in general.
The annual. report of the county
v^Agent is liberally illustrated with pic-
tuies of many of the field demonstra
tions conducted during the year, and
altogether, the volume is a very cred
itable showing for the agent’s well
directed energies and the responsive,

For the past fivw years the world
has been taking a million more
bales of cotton each year than it did
tha year before, says the Departr

bales of the million are accounted
for by natural growth of population,
the Department thinks; and the
