We notice ? distinct change in the activities of the county agent in many sections of the country, and we won? der if it is a change for the better. Originally tin county agent was an agronomist. He was an exponent of scientific agriculture. Now he is. too often, be oming an economist?anex ponent of potttical economy that may or may not be sound. We can under? stand how ''as cams about. In a great many places the county agent was the- leader in organizing th? coun tj farm associations), or bureaus He was full of zeal to sign up nearly all his constituents for the organisation, lb discovered that they were more interest* I in marketing and credit?, than tin y were in production. So, instead of telling them how to make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before, he began to point out the difficult) of disposing of the ' extra blade. This was sensible enough, and practical enough? as long as he kept within bounds but sometimes Ids enthusiasm ran away with him. For Instance we have before us a letter from an lows county agent in which he fulminates alarmingly on condition i, and declares that his farm ers are just about ready for rebel? lion.
