358 TwENTY-FiEST Biennial Eepobt 



I have never vaccinated the second time for any man, 

 and only in a few instances have I made the second 

 visit to instruct them in the work. 



The introduction of the Government method of vac- 

 cination has saved the farmers of Boyd county $250 in 

 vaccine alone, not counting anything for the cattle 

 saved. 



I have inoculated 36 head of hogs against cholera. 

 This is only a few hogs, but when you consider that the 

 inoculation saved one man $250 in hogs, it means some- 

 thing. 



The one big thing that I have been working on is 

 to secure a creamery for Boyd county, and when this 

 is accomplished, I will feel that my services have 

 smounted to something — ^we will have it before I let up. 



I have organized three farmers' clubs. Have at- 

 tended five or six meetings of various kinds, mostly 

 teachers' meetings, and given talks in the interest of 

 the Boys' Club work. We have a lime spreader in the 

 county as a result of the work. Have used 35 tons of 

 acid phosphate, when there had been only a few hun- 

 dred pounds used prior to my coming into the county. 



In conclusion, I want to say that the people of 

 Boyd county have shown hearty co-operation both from 

 the farmers and the people of the towns; without this, 

 of course, the work would have amounted to nothing.

County Agent. 



CHEISTIAN COUNTY. 



In compliance with your request for a report of 

 my work in Christian county, I have the honor to present 

 the following account: 



Upon arrival at Hopkinsville, Tuesday, September 

 7th, after a four days' trip by automobile from Mays- 

 ville, my former headquarters, having encountered rain 

 tor two days of trip, and some other difficulties, I im- 

 mediately got in touch with Judge Wm. T. Fowler, Pres- 

 ident of the Crop Improvement Committee, and other 

 members of the committee, and Mr. B. G-. Nelson, State 

 Com Club Agent, talking over the situation with them, 

 and getting all the information I could obtain.
