Oklahoma City. July 22. 1925.
W A ' lark
Mustang, Okla.
Dear Sir:
Concerning vour inquiry as to I In-
advisability of retaining a county
agent in your county. Will state that
I know Mr. Felix K. West and Mrs
Sweet personally, ami if I lived in that
county would certainly cast my vote
and extend every effort possible to re-
tain them in that county.
County agent work is fundamentally
(educational work and the duty of the
commonwealth in educational work is
to extend the privilege and not to com
pel people to use it. I am sure you
realize that we never think of eon-
detuning tile public schools because a
few- do not take advantage of the
privileges offered. I think the same
| is true of extension work. It would he
I just as unfair to condemn extension
work because a few do not take ad
vantage of the facilities offered by
i the state, government and the county.
The county agent is the connecting
link between the other agents of the
| United States, the A. and M. college.
I the state hoard of agriculture ami the
1 United States department of agricul-
ture. Without him. there would he
no contact with the forces interested
in the improvement of agricultural
| conditions outside of your county. He
| is the connecting link between various
farm organizations and a clearing
house for the progressive use of all
individual farming.
From till- standpoint of dollars and
cents. I believe the following compari
sons will be of interest to you.
In this state there is a poultry -p>-
jciylist. dairy specialist, a marketing
