County court pledges funds for county farm demonstrator job
At the last meeting the commissioners voted 1000 to apply on a county farm demonstration agent salary and secured 1500 from state and national governments to aid recruitment. A&M College backed the hire and pledged support, while County Attorney Holloway urged a first class appointee and offered to guarantee 500 if a three member committee could verify performance. Nabers of Delcon pledged half from De Leon, and citizens plan to raise the remaining funds. The move aims to boost Comanche county agricultural and stock interests with full public backing.
