Secretary Babcock Back from New York
County Secretary W. H. Babcock returned from New York where rural secretaries met to plan bringing city boys to the country for summer work. They found few will enter larger farms due to inexperience with machinery, but many will go to truck farms for light work. Babcock moved to the Irish place near the city and is preparing land for 1917 crops.
