At another point In the same let ter she wrote, "Hope you didn't get too much hell you could take a lit tle after those hours and think it worth It. Didn't we have a dandy time together, dear?" Another written a weeit laier prey ed. "Take me and my belongings awsy from here make a home anywhere as con aa you can. How I want you how I mlas you. darling. Don't wait too long. We are wasting valuable time. I need you. oh. so much." The net dav she wrote. "I would like nothing better than to be able to talk to you at close range, sitting on your lap. or held In your arms you dispell all my blues bring me more happiness than 1 ever thought would be mine." Another letter written the aame dav chlded him for not writing, and added. "1 refuse to be negcted and It won t be a bit healthy If you keep It up. you son of a ea cook." Jurtce I. !.

Phone 265 TO HAVE AGENTS IN ENSUING YEAR More counties In Oregon than ever before will have the services of county agents this year, reports F. L, Ballard, county agent leader, following com pletion of county budgets through out the atate. Thirty of the 3 coun ties have definitely arranged for agents, with Columbia county at 111 endeavoring to raise the necessary match money by private subscrip tion. Gilliam and Sherman counties have added agent, while Jefferson has Joined with Crook In engaging one. Because of the vltnl connection be tween the extension agents and the work of the Agricultural Adjustment administration, one or two other counties are contemplating engaging agents, following decision of the AAA not to continue the practice of sup plying agents aa was done during the wheat campaign. Partly because of the responsibility placed on the agricultural staff of the Oregon State college In bringing to Oregon the benefits under the vari oua federal effort In behalf of agri culture, the complete staff of the ex tension service, experiment stations and instructional division Is holding a state-wide conference at Cor vail la this week. Pears that the program of the AAA would bring an "army of federal agentV to put the plans into effect and enforce their provisions have not been borne out, largely because the national administration turned to the existing forces connected with the land grant colleges to meet the emergency. As a result, O. ft. C. officials point out. much time has been and will be spent with these emergency projects by Oregon forces. First was the work in connection with getting emergency! crop loans last spring, followed by: subsistence garden projects, and then the wheat allotment campaign. How the corn-hog control campaign la on. which In turn la expected to be fol lowed by the dairy adjustment pro gram. Meanwhile, the college forces have been called upon to direct three proj ecta under the CWA, one concerned with surveying rural home building conditions; one with a survey of de linquent tax and mortgage foreclos ure conditions, and a third with the paat experience with subsistence homesteada in this atate.
