The County Agent System
Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of agriculture, and
the newest member of President Wilson's cabinet, paid
a high tribute to the work of the county agents in his ad
dress Saturday before a group of people at the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. He said the county agent was
an over worked, under-paid official who is doing won
ders for better farming in every section of the United
States. The editor of The Enterprise had heard a lot of
Mr. Meredith and was glad to accept an invitation to
meet and to hear him.
The secretary is an enthusiast on the subject of ag
riculture. 1 Ie has made a fortune in the business of pub
lishing a farm journal in Iowa. He is no polished dip
lomat and makes no pretense of oratory, but is full of
his chosen subject and knows it from A to Z. Mr.
Meredith criticized congress for cutting down appropria
tions for the various departments of the bureau of ag
riculture, though he went to the root of the system and
said that congress was not to blame, because the farmer
constitutent, representing one-third of the population of
the country, was not on the job to demand what he
should have. The head of the department of agricul
ture declared that congress had lopped off $2,000,000
from the department's previous appropriations but that
the house of representatives had insisted upon retaining
a quarter million dollars for free seeds. He explained
that the Democrats and Republicans in congress were
equally culpable. Mr. Meredith told of living costs hav
ing increased 1 1 0 per cent, yet the increase in appropria
tions for the meat inspection bureau was only 10 per
cent. The abolishment of cow testing in Oregon was
recited by the secretary because congTess had cut the
appropriation.
Mederith laid particular stress upon the pitifully
small salaries paid executives in his department. The
maximum allowed by law is $4500 a year, and many of
his best men have been taken by private interests that
pay more money for brains that the department of ag
riculture needs. He said there were no "soft snaps" in
the bureau and that his people did the work for the love
of it.
Congressman Fordney, of Michigan, who followed
Mr. Meredith, is chairman of the ways and means com
mittee, and he admitted that sound judgment was not
always used by congress. He also stated that the ad
ministration had asked for eight billions of money, that
congress had cut $1 ,400,000,000 from the demands and
had still created a deficit of one billion.
The reference of the secretary of agriculture to the
value of the county agent brought the business men
who composed his audience to their feet. It was a fine
tribute to a single bit of work that the government has
fostered, in cooperation with the county and state.

that it owns the petroleum in the

pleasure. It Is merely a question of
name. The substantial rights of own
ers will be safeguarded."
