of the counties of the state will join
in the general move to place expert
agriculturists In the field to continue
the earth education and crop improve

in each county to work on a salary
furnished by public subscription until
an appropriation for the work can be

help out in the work the Council of
Grain Exchanges of Chicago has
agreed to furnish $1000 of the agricul

a specialist can be secured.
