PENDLETON" COUNTY. 



In answer to yonr request for a summary of my 

 work to date, beg to advise that I liave travelled a total 

 of 2,705 miles, visited 92 demonstrators and 324 co- 

 operators, paid 11 visits to schools, held 12 meetings, 

 with a total attendance of 1,119; held conferences with 

 21 Agricultural Agents, 130 business men and 273 farm- 

 ers; mailed 872 letters, 354 bulletins, and have written 

 26 newspaper articles; have treated 27 animals, and 

 judged 31 head of live stock. 



I was sent here April 14th, with no organization 

 whatever behind me, the money for the work being put 

 up by the schools. I organized a successful Pig Club of 

 35 members and a Com Club of 20 members. Conducted 

 a successful trip with fifty farmers to the Experiment 

 Station, E. H. Taylor's farm, McKee Brothers' place, 

 and the Elmendorf farm. W.ith County Agent Fuller- 

 ton, conducted an automobile party of 25 farmers from 

 Grant county on a trip through Pendleton county. I 

 have about forty school demonstration plats illustrating 

 the value of limestone and acid phosphate on alfalfa; 

 was instrumental in inducing the teachers at the last 

 Teachers' Institute to vote to teach agriculture in all 

 the schools of the county this year; was instrumental in 

 bringing five tons of acid phosphate in the county, the 

 first that had ever been here ; induced the fair manage- 

 ment this year to offer premiums to com and pig club 

 members, and had a fine display of both at the recent 

 county fair; helped in making the agricultural exhibits 

 the largest ever seen at this county fair, and we are at 

 work now trying to make this an agricultural fair next 

 year. 



I have twelve one-half acre demonstration plats of 

 winter oats, and four of barley ; also, five of crimson 

 clover. Have compiled a list of all registered stock in 

 the county, and have aided in encouraging a much 

 greater interest in it. Have recently organized a Pendle- 

 ton County Crop Improvement Association, with E. E. 

 Barton, President, and a membership of influential 

 farmers. We elected a Vice President from each Magis- 

 terial District, who will be President of a sub-organiza-
