Both the home | agent, Miss Alene McLamb, and county agent J. E. Dodson re- j cognize this worth to agriculture ( and general farm life. A result ( of this is that they have been j meeting the eager young folks j more than half way during the ( past few weeks. Responding to the general Ue- P sire or young farm boys and girls in various sections, the two ^ county workers have held meetings and perfected organizations at five different points in the county during the past ten days.
