"Not only, are the agents helping in canning work, in home beauti fication, in making the home life of the farm more satisfying- and rep.1, but they also are helping to bring an income to the farm home and this the county fathers seem to forget. "Some of the oficials can set where the farm agent can help because he gives assistance directly in the field with the main income earning crops, but they neglect to observe how the canning work also is helping, how the eggs, the dreesed poultry, the lit tle surplus from the garden and oth er things' about the home are being used to bring in. cash when cash is so badly needed," she said. - Several ' delegations of women have visited Mrs. McKimmon complaining about the action of their boards, of commissioners, she stated.
