FARM AGENT PAYS
Mr. L. M. West of near White Level )
considers that a County Farm Agent
is a paying proposition for the farm-1
era, as a result of personal 'expert- J
ence.
Mr. West was in the TIMES office
Saturday and stated that he had a fonr ?
acre lot back of his store that he had i
developed as n fine tobacco, lot In'
1922-23 he planted the lot to clover.'
In 1923-24 he received less than $y
for the tobacco made on the lot. Hei
called on Cole Savage, farm ageDt.
and explained the case to him. Sav-1
age took samples of the soil and later,
reported to him what to do with the
lot. He followed Savage's instruc
tions and in 1925 he received an aver
'agc of 949M0 per acre net for the
tobacco made on this lot, and in 1926
he received $1,985.00 gross for the to
bacco made from IBfaaaie lot. Mr.
West is a strong advocate of the Dem
onstration work and knows from ex
perience It pays to have one near to!

subject. The Worth-While Life, say
ing that a worth while life must be a
happy life and to be a happy-lite It
most be a. busy life, an unselfish life
and to put It briefly It must be the
Christian life.
After an expression of appreciation
by the toastmistress for the wonder
ful message the benediction was pro-J
