STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



During the last month, the question of local financial cooperation from 

 the counties, if they wished to keep their Home Demonstration agents, 

 has had to be presented to tlie lunny Farm Bureaus and various Boards of 

 Supervisors. The interest which women and men also — have shown in 

 continuing the Home Demonstration work has been most gratifying, and 

 somewhat of a surprise even to those of us who believe most thoroughly 

 ih the possibilities of this line of work. The war has given women a new 

 conception of what feeding their families involves, and they are ver}' 

 earnest in their demands for help along this line, and along other phases 

 of home making as well. Although it has been necessary to discontinue 

 the work in some counties, nowhere have the women willingly seen the 

 work stop.
