Ram age, Wodburn, president of the Woodburn Fruit doners' asso ciation. AU of the Pomona grange mas ters in these four counties ad Jotalng Marion replied affirma tUely to Mr. Ramagei inquiry, "Im the work of a county agent proving satisfactory to the farm er! in your county?" The office of Pomona master is the high est office that can be bestowed upon an individual by a grange in the county. "I think that a county agent nek aa Washington county has Is tndispensible." said W. A. Root. Tigard. master of the Washington Pomona grange. "He is untiring In his efforts to advance the Interests of the farmers. "In the matter of educating the farmers to realize and appre ciate the value of raisinjg alfal fa, he has been worth several times more than his salary has amounted to. "He has also given demonstra tions In various parts of the county on orchard pruning; spraying to destroy Canada this tles, morning glories and other noxious weeds; destruction of ro dents. He also is of great value to poultry raisers. He keeps the. farmer In touch with the state agricultural school, sends out their bulletins, etc. I can't be gin to tell you of the benefits to bo derived from a good county agent." n. M. leFevre. Dundee, mas ter Yamhill Pomona grange said: "Will say that we are well pleased with our county agent. He is the busiest man In Yam hill county. "Opponents of the county agent in the first place would now be the first to clamcr for kh retention.' P. O. Powell. Monmouth, mas ter 'of the Polk county Pomona Cringe replied: "We have had a county agent 1b Polk county most of the time since 1918 and now hear no ob jection to his work. Of course, we l ave a good active man. but nil the men chosen are good men for the work. It Is a very rare thing for one of them to fall to make good, as they are very care fully chosen from a wide range of applicants. Invnluablo for --lulling Projects "We had rodent poisoning. 4-H club work and found that ve could not get along without a county agent to engineer project-. "Our campaign for alfalfa viil more than pay for the man. I am sure the employment of a county agent In Marlon county will prove a forward movement." From M. S. Shrock. Milwaukie, master of the Clackamas county Pomona grange came the follow 1ns: "In this county there was con siderable opposition to the work of a county agent. Many farmers recanted advice from anyone and pointed oat the coit a reason ror their objections. This oppo sition has almost entirely disap peared. Only aboat two farmers are left in the county that object to the county agent. His work has been of. tremendous help to all classes of farmers. "Yoa have some chronic kick ers in your county who will die hard on the proposition. But af ter seeing the results over a per iod of years, you will find the op position vanishing. The farmers of this county could not be in duced to do without a connty agent." Tb OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon. Sunday Morning, October S. 193tF .
