Farmers Want County Agent in Mills County
Farmers push for a county agent under government Farm Bureau cooperation led by Clarence Pickard of Iowa Farm Extension. The plan offers 1800 dollars yearly toward an agent’s salary, requiring at least 1000 dollars more funding or 200 members at five dollars each. Agents would serve members first and aid the county, with promising results reported to farmers. Court House activity remains busy as registrants prepare questionnaires under the local exemption board and income tax oversight.
