In August, 1913, C. E. Brown of Elk 

 River, Minn., was secured as County 

 Agent, but on account of other inter- 

 ests engaging Mr. Brown's attention, 

 the appointment was only temporary, 

 pending the appointment of a perma-

 year the present agent, P. E. Clement, 

 arrived and took up the work of the
