| FARMING INTERESTS AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL FOR THE 1 COUNTY WITHIN EASY REACH II I FARMERS WILL BUSY THEMSELVES ABOUT IT. The United States government, the | State of New Jersey and a large nuiii- I her of the universities of the country are working mightily to arouse interest J in agriculture and -to assist the fanning communities to greater prosperity and I pleasa liter conditions. Judging from re- ' -ults in Cape May County, all of this | elfurt passes by the fanners and the 1 1 farming communities almost fruitless. So far as any public manifestations or | ,yT'' community effort to change con- j ' ditione are concerned they are almost totally' lacking. The granges are large- 1 Iv social affairs and arc very valuable, of course, in preventing ruinous cotnpe- j ' tit ion. There is a great deal of talk of ! . the various proposals made by national 1 and state departments of agriculture, but nothing done. Why is if? Are farmers really not interested in their profession? Do they look with skepti- ' eism upon the proposed plans for uplifting it and- making it more profitable ? ' Is it mental slothfulness, which makes any change of method in thought or work repugnant to them? Is it merely the absence of a virile jP with force o' character and broad [ J views, who would have the power of a awakening the people in this direction? j It would be interesting to know. ,. There is an opjiortiiiiit y to secure a I county agricultural school which would s be open to young and old and the State ! ° would bear 6ne-lialf the expense attach- f ed to such a school would be instructors who would extend their operations from " school to the field. When planting '' and growing seasons arrived. They * would thus become agents and advisors c. for all the farmcni in the county seek- 1 ling to adopt methods for improving their crops. The cost to each taxpayer '' the whole thing would be infinitesimal. The functions of sueh agents are ■' I thus described : T

■ Jouglily alive to the need for seientltic I | methods in the pursuit «f their^aljuig. I land among the devices for the diffusing I | of teehnieal knowledge the "county I j agent" is |» rliaps destined to become ! the most popular. These county agrij cultural agents are sometimes desig1 nated as "county advisers," though this I is in reality a misnomer. in that it fails I to comprehend the full scope of their ■ activities. While advisory work is a ' part, yet it is only a part. According to a recent news letter Of the Departmen of Agriculture, the country agri- , cultural agent lias a number of essen- ■ tinl functions, as follows: (1) He .studies the agriculture of the county to learn what is being done and what is worth while agriculturally , in each part of. it. This study includes j I farm, financial and organization sur- | (2) He gives the results of his f studies to farmers, not in the way of ' advice, but as farts observed and con- ' elusions drawn. This is done through ' the local press, lectures, institutes, circulars, short courses, and personal interviews. a (3) Rased on these local studies -and the ascertained nerds of the county, clubs, associations, and the like are organized and the individuals solicited to undertake definite lines oT agricultural improvement on their own farms, operative buying and marketing and the standardization of farm products. (4) He endeavors to co-ordinate all existing agricultural agencies within the county, so that all may work , unitedly and efficiently. (5) He develops local leadership. - -The — taah^-of-ifflproriiip tlie ngrlcnlsiirc of an Entire county is so stupendous that the agent must be primarily an administrator. He must inspire and accept the help of voluntary assistants in work. ['

— He *cts as the connecting linkbetween the scientists of the research institutions of the State and Nation and the farmer, presenting the results of in\e«igations in such a way that j r the farmer can use them, and calling the attention of scientists -to the local j. agrieiilural problems of the country and soliciting their assistance. '") He gives advice. This may relate to spraying, seed treatment, "mixing fertilizers, combating insect pests, f cultural practices. «,r other mi-e.-llane- , ons matters which are the stock in kjt-T.de of - every well-informed agent! The giving of advice is seventh on the list, hi-eause in actually improving the J agriculture of the county it is probably iof least importance, though in point of time it may be the first work under- | taken. J The value of sueh an expert to any J J farming community cannot be ovorr-ti-j mated and it is an encouraging sign j | that the demand for these agents is j steadily increasing. It was in the MidIdle West that agricultural experts were b first employed in the capacity of county agents, but tbe movement has

: now extended to the Atlantic Seaboard | and we understand that several counties I j fn* States are about to try the I I experiment — if a demonstrated fact 1 mii be called an experiment."
