In a period of about 10 months during 1918, 544 agents were appointed. The conclusion of the war so soon after the appointment of this large additional force and the withdrawal of more than a million dollars of federal support, brought a real crisis in the development of the work. A considerable loss of agents was commonly forecasted. Farmers rallied to the support of the work, however. In these new counties in a most surprising way. Agricultural colleges sacrificed some other lines of work In order to retain contact with the county. Instead of a loss, there was an increase of 29 agents the first year after the war. Work Should Go On. About 80 per cent of the agricultural counties of the North and West are now reached by a resident agent, and these counties contain 77 per cent of Hie total number of farms of the 33 states according to the 1920 census. It would seem, therefore, says the writer of this report, that, at least from the standpoint of the n mber of farms per county, the average county without an agent is relatively as important as those with agents, and that the work should go on to rapid completion, or nt least go forward at the rate maintained before the war. Commenting further cm the status of the county agent, the report says: "There is gradually developing in some states a dettirite plan or agricultural programof work looking toward the future and having in mind a permanent agriculture based on the character of the population, soil, labor distribution and marketing conditions. The need of such a program has long been recognized and Its absence lamented as the chief limiting factor 1n the effectiveness of extension work. Such a program requires painstaking study and careful elaboration, and but few institutions have possessed either money or facilities to undertake such Work. The development of farm management and farm economics departments in the colleges will make the working out of such programs possible. No extension program can be assuredly sound that la not baaed on such a and these county plans will go far la helping to supply the raw materials for the complete working out of a permanent state plan of work. The analysis of shinty extension programs in relation to agricultural statistics Is calling attention to deficiencies or wrong yMuphasis, and so making for county programs based on real rather than apparent agricultural needs."

This circular is the last of a series of reports of this kln<j on the work in the northern and western states, since, with the combining of the office of extension work in the North and West with the office of extension work In the South, the work will In the future be given a national rather than a regional consideration.

UNFAVORABLE WINTER WEATHER CoraStlore in Fan Do Not Materialy Affect Wheat Damage to Qralne in Severe WeatMr Usually Grouped Under Four Heads: Heaving, Smothering, Low TemiN Draught. ky tha CitM Stetaa Dspaatasast mt ifitealtire.) While unfavorable winter weather ^Mvdnminy damages fall-eown grains to a considerable extent, statistical •todies indicate that conditions during the fall do not bear, in general, any material relation to the yield of wheat the following summer, but that the weather during the winter, spring, and early summer months, especially from March to June, has a muih greater influence on tbe final output. Consequently, the weather bureau. United Department of Agriculture, points out, wheat may be In poor condition at the beginning of the winter, with favorable weather later the Improvement may be such as to produce satisfactory yields. When the weather is favorable dur- Jag the fall 'months, grains usually establish a good root system and are Isaa liable to winter injury than when f«n weathftr is unfavorable. Winter ijjsnmpi to gtalns Is usually grouped under four main heads: Hea; smothering, direct effect of low. paratures and drought. v Bearing ocean usually m pa^riy drained soil in the spring, and is due to alternate freezing and thawing, which breaks the roots or lifts tbe plants from the toll and leaves the roots exposed to the air. Smothering occurs when the ground is covered with an ice sheet, as when melting snow freezes. It is sometimes caused by a glaze covering the plants. When snow protection is ab* sent, plants are sometimes killed by the direct effect of cold on the tissup< This kind of injury usually increases with the degree and duration of the cold, but a sudden freeze may do a great deal of harm, especially in tha spring. Winter drought may also cause Injury, though It is less frequent than other causes. SLECTING HICKORY HANDLES DYED HER BABY'S COST, A SKIRT AND CURTAINS WITH "DIAMOND DYES?
