AGRICULTURE 



Help for the school. Every agent desires to assist 

 the work in agriculture in the schools of his county. In 

 many instances the county agents and the county superin- 

 tendents plan and carry on their work together. Teachers 

 and pupils can always feel free to call on the agent for 

 help or advice in connection with any agricultural club 

 or individual project.

When it is impossible to reach the agent for a personal 

 interview, the telephone or mail can be employed. Pupils 

 and teachers should become acquainted with the agent per- 

 sonally, attend the demonstrations and public meetings, and 

 study the experiments and investigations he makes. Think 

 over carefully the work of the farm and if either you or 

 your parents have problems that are annoying troubles of 

 any kind with soil, crops, or stock seek the advice and 

 help of the agent at once.
