Today COURT IN FAVOR COUNTY AGENT FINAL DECISION PORTHCOr, 1XG AFTER; INVESTIGATION State and Federal Akl Possible, Every Bank in Connty Favors Plan The Marion county court is in clined to look favorably on the idea of having a county agent, it was learned following a meeting yesterday morning at which the court conferred with Lloyd T. Rey nolds, president of the Marion county community federation, George Grabenhorst, president of the Salem chamber of commerce, C. A. Reynolds and George W. liubbs of Stlverton, and Harley O. White and C. E. Wilson of Salem. No definite action was taken by the court, hut it is considering the matter and will report its de cision soon. The court realises the value of a county agent and it Is inclined to be willing to have one, providing his office can be combined with that of county fruit inspector. The horticultural inspector at present costs the county S1600 a year, and it is proposed to pay the new agent, if obtained, $3000 a year. If this is done, state and federal aid would be forthcoming. Letters from every bank in Marion county favoring . the pro posed agent were shown by the delegation, together with letters from 22 out of the 25 counties in the state having agents, all giving high, praise of the idea, and stat ing .their, intentions to keen the agent.'' Out of the 36 counties in the state. 25 of them now have agents, and the number is rapid ly, growing. A letter from Judge Hawkins of Polk - connty, who formerly op posed the idea, of a county agent, said that Tie was heartily in favor of the agent established there last year, and thaf he is being retained for The coming year. The national and state grange have urged cooperation between the local granges and the county agents, and are strongly in favor of the Agent idea.
