Editors And Agents Comprise Farm Team Weekly newspaper editors and county farm and home agents make up a team that has been one of the most potent forces in the improve ment of farming and rural living in the past 25 years. Those are the sentiments of M. L. Wilson, director of Extension for the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Director I. O. Schaub of the State College Exten sion Service says he heartily concurs in the views expressed by the Fed eral leader. Of the beginning of this period of team work. Director Wilson says, “The United States was nearing the end of the row as far as new land was concerned. In the more carefully cultivated sections, farming methods lagged behind experimental advances in agricultural science. Into this picture stepped the county agent and traveled from farm to farm on foot, on horseback, and in buggies. “On the county editor the agent leaned heavily from the earliest days. Usually the work of the county agent made good newspaper copy. Frequently he would write a column of his own in the weekly paper and his writings were compact with good sense. “Judged solely as a job in prac tical, popular education, the achieve ment of the county agent ranks high in American social history. The county agent is now equipped with an automobile and a clerical force in his office, but is most frequently to be found at some farm talking about crops and rural improvements. The weekly editor is still one of his most highly valued allies.” To this Director Schaub of the North Carolina Extension Service adds: “Agricultural Extension work simply is giving information about better ways of farm living and one of the best methods of reaching a farm audience is through the columns of local papers whose, editors the farm people know and trust. ' “Since the summer of 1914 ex clusive copy for weekly papers has been mailed each week from the office of Frank H. Jeter, State Col lege editor. The weekly newspapers of North Carolina have, since the beginning, given liberally of their space to this coperative program of rural betterment.” may be used if mixed with the soil.
