This, -he said, In spite of tho great increase in demands on the specialist and administra tive slarr occasioned by the great ly enlarged activity umong tho counties. Major effort among the agrlctil- tural extension agents for tho com i lng year should bo directed toward I encouraging enlarged or stundard units of operation on tho part of bo brought high enough to Insuro better standards of living. - Farm ing in this country, ho said, should not bo uj lowed to become like the industry in man over-populated countries where limited business permits only tho barest living tu bo made.

While the cfflco of county ajiricul- turltit In many localities has had to prove Uh right to exist, it hua long ago been proven, thoac who know assert, that In this county tho. office has been onu of great practical benefit to tlio farming Intercuts of Union county and espe cially during tho years when Mr. Avery held the office was there marked Improvement in many fields of operation and a duclded upward trend In all fields. He cause tho club work. In a wuy, has tho most prominence, that Is, It has more publicity attached to It, that one dopartment is perhaps more widely known by the general county population, town and rural alike. But from a close association with the work, and from a perus al of Mr. Avery's reports, it Is found that that la but one Import ant branch., Wo propose looking from time to time ut the different lines of work, which has direct as sistance from tlui office of the county agriculturist, thc only object being to raise bigger und bolter crops In Union county. In Mr. Avery's report under tho hcud of "Crop Improvement," he deals with scveraj different linen, the first being tho coreals, which havo been tho big farm crop in tho county. In the endeavors toward crop improvements,' the first Item logically is new seed. "One of the goals set for tho year, wus tho pooling or orders for two carloads or certified .KederuMon seed wheat. -This was taken up by the ugent and it supply of good seed was loculcd in Umatilla coun ty.
