AID FOR THE FARMERS. Are You Letting Your County Agent Help Ymi? When a county provides a demon stration agent many farmers fail to take advantage of his services. They don't feel exactly free to go to him for adivce, and they therefore stand in the way of the demonstrator doing the good that he otherwise would. There has been much discussion about the duties of the demonstration agent, and in order to clearifv the situation, the North Carolina extension service has made a list of his duties. Read over this list of "Things the County Agent Should Do," and see if you are letting your county agent help you and your county as much as you should: 1. He encourages community co operation. 2. Promotes improved methods in crop production. 3. Introduces more and better live stock. 4. Assists in the proper manage ment of farm business. 5. Establishes "boys' agricultural clubs" for improvment in proifiiction of corn, pigs, poultry, etc. G. Assists in marketing and distri bution. 7. Aids in the control of hog chol era and other animal diseases. 8. Works for the eradication of plant diseases. 9. Helps in the construction and ar rangements of farm buildings, such as silcs, barns, pig pastures, etc. 10. Aids in installing draining sys tems, terracing systems, water supply systems, etc. 11. Conducts farmers meetings, short courses, and agricultural t< urs. 12. Gives aid to the woman county agent in her work. 13. Assists in county and commun ity fairs. 14. Forms breeders' and other live stock organizations. 15. Plants systems of crop rota tions for the improvement of land and the even distribution of labor throughout the year . 16. He represents the state and no tional agricultural agencies, and can have the assistance of the eScperts in these institutions at any time it is needed. ? The Progressive Fanner. Just Natural.

North Carolina farmers who are holding last season's wheat . and corn for prices above those that I are ruling at present are warned by State Food Administrator Henry A. Page that they are taking an exceed- 1 inglv long chance. Mr. Page has made two trips to Washington in the inter est of North Carolina wheat growers ' and roller mills and as a result of his efforts the wheat grower is getting a J considerable advance over the price j that he would have gotten otherwise, hence, Mr. Page's good faith in his present warning to the farmers cannot be discounted. ? The situation with regard to wheat and corn is this: Through the activities of the U. S. Grain Corporation, the price of wheat has been stabilized at $2.20 per bushel, Chicago basis. Mills are unable to secure any except local wheat except through the Grain Corporation; aud elevators, and dealers and farmers having no market at a higher figure are selling almost altogether to or I through the Grain Corporation. So, re gardless of any shortage or other con dition which ordinarily might lead to high prices, the price of wheat is no more likely to advance than the price of sugar. In fact, a maximum of $12.50 per barrel has been fixed upon flour and this doesn't allow a higher price for wheat than that which is ruling at present in North Carolina. As for corn: The price of corn va ries at different points in North Caro- j lina and the United States from $1.25 ; to $2.00 per bushel This variation is due entirely to the congested condi tion of the railroads. Corn for March delivery in New York and Chicago is selling at $1.24 per bushel, notwith standing the fact that cash corn is selling around $1.77. As the railroad conditions are cleared the variation in prices will disappear and corn will probably be steadied for the season at somewhere around $1.50 per bushel. The Government and the Food Ad ministration feel that the farmer who makes his crops by the sweat of his brow Is entitled to every consideration insofar as the marketing of his crops is concerned. Absolutely no restric tions have been placed upon him as to time or prices at which he shall sell, The truth ip that the farmers comprise the only class in the country that has been exempted from every restriction Insofar as food and fuel control ig concerned- Thus he Is given free rein and every encouragement to increase the production of all foodstuffs to the TMmlaum.
