renewed at the rate of one or

may bf cheaper to burn gaso-

it is more than likely the same

riding or sitting at home by

In the county agent’s an-
nual report of what happened
in 1930 during his business
waking hours one item of par-
ticular interest to this news-
paper was mentioned. Mr.
Dunkle reported that 51 news
articles or stories about the
farm extension work had been
published. That is practically
one for every issue of The
Brand, if the clippings were
taken from the Hereford pa-
per. That speaks well for your
home-county paper, does it
not 1 We missed one week and

agent took a vacation into

fro::; headquarters which
impart the information that
no demonstration is complete
until it has been published in
tlie newspaper of general cir-
culation of that district. The
Brand has been 30 years build-
ing up reader interest and it
perhaps merits being classed
now, in its early prime, in the
general circulation category.
For home people it has no jeer
for conveying information to
tho restful fireside where each
may read of his neighbor or
himself.
Tho department of agricul-
ture recognizes this service of
the local newspaper and its
conclusion that no demonstra-
tion, regardless of how widely
attended, has not been finish-
ed until it has been written
up and circulated in the news-
paper is a compliment to the
press and a recommendation
to the entire public, whether
they he readers, contributors
or advertisers.

The club ladies of Ward are
going to find out if there is
anything in a name. The Will-
ing Workers recently voted to
discard the old cognomen and
henceforth be known as the
La Afflatus Studio. You have
heard of lovers and poets be-
ing able to soar high by vir-
tue of possessing a divine af-
flatus, and back in high school
days you have even been af-
flated or inflated at precious
intervals but had no name for
it-
Afflatus means divine im-
partation of knowledge, sup-
ernatural impulse, or just
plain inspiration. The ladies of
Ward are to be congratulated
upon their studio of inspira
tion, for that is what all clubs
I should be. The good work
| which the members will ac-
complish Ibis year will reach
■ far in the life of the county,
through interchange of ideas
I and ideals and through person-
al improvement of themselves.

a busy man by the most exuctlng.
Tills Is a brief account of what
It. <►. Dunkle, county agent, does
In one year, according to his an-
nual ro|s>rt Hied with the county
commissioners and extension head-
quarters. Importance of the ex-
tension service In development and
improvement in farm life may lie
gained by a study of the agent’s
activities through the perspective
of one year.
The amount of travel neff-Hunry
to keep In touch with various
projects nder supervision and In-
dividual operations fh.it may Is*
of significance to more tliun one
Is surprising. In one instance, Mr.
Dunkle made an 80-mlle trip to
get the facts on how* one fanner
was growing wheat in tillable
rows and secured a promise <rf
the grower that he would keep
accurate data for llttt on how
he handled *ueh a procedure, as
it might tie possible a discovery
was in prospect for a new wheat
culture.
Other facta of Interest gleaned
from the annual report are:
There arc 30 men in the agri-
cultural council, 10 communities
out of 20 have extension programs,
27 men are In capacity of local
leaders In adult work and eight
men In 4-H club work.
There are eight 4-H dubs In op-
eration. having a js*rsonnel of r>l
hoys and 21 girls. Four furmorsj
are keeping a farm accounting
system, showing where money has
been lost or where It ha* been
gained.
Thera were nine demonstrations
held on poultry, Involving 800
birds; 17 dairy demonstrations,
covering 170 head; ten *wlno, In-
cluding 200 hogs, and throe .beef
cattle Including 050 head.
There were 4050 acres In adult
demonstrations on cereals; five
f a nna were protected from soil
erosion, having a total acreage
of 850 acres treated. The agent
reported that 1850 pounds of |sd-
son were used In protection against
animal iiests and Insects.
The county lias one dairy mar-
keting association of 125 mem-
bers which sold $42,000 In pro-
ducts. One poultry und egg mar-
keting association of 11 members
sold $.‘100 worth eooiieratlvely.
The number of news article*
or stories published pertaining to
the extension work was 51 for the
12-month period.

Lincoln was a simple man and
