Tho council room was well tilled wLlle this matter was under consld crMloo I Organization Plan in the Work of County Agents The plait for organisation of coun ty agent work in Orogon differs from the usual farm bureau plan In that the connty agent uses existing organ izations Instoad of forming now or ganisations. Tbo Oregon plau Is out lined bv Paul V. Marls, state leader of farm demonstration work, as follows. Knelt organisation within a county that bus for Its purpose tho promotion of agricultural Interests, Is permitted to scloct from Its membership a rep resentative to a body to be known as tho County Agricultural Council. Tho bonrd of county commis sioners Is also otttltlod to elect one member to tho council. This type of organization relievos tho agont of tho responsibility of tualntalnlng n now organization. In tho usual form of organization tho county agent assumes responsibility both for tho creating and maintaining o'f the organizations that support hla work. Four agricultural councils havo al ready been organized In four aoparato counties of Oregon since January 16.

The upshot was a reguiouon m strlclng liquor selling dally to "two hours and a half, beginning with noon, and to three houra, beginning with 6:30 p. m. Employers complained that unless ,k. . ihA luncheon hour for their help later than 2:30 p.m., many work ers returned fuddled lor ueir -noon'a duties. Housewives were bit terly dissatisfied at the epidemic r.n.... hv hir nusnanas to roiui from work until 9 30 or a little later for dinner, Indications are that there has been a falling off among those on whom tho drinking habit had no very tight grip, hut certainly no decreaie, and perhaps the contrary, on the part of confirmed habitues.
