County Agent Oversaw War Time Farm Programs in White County
A comprehensive report details White County agricultural efforts under the County Agent over ten and a half months. Initiatives included oat smut control, hog and pork production campaigns, club work, silo drives, wheat trials, seed corn gathering, and a drive to improve grain conservation. The armistice altered plans, but deferments for essential farm workers were secured, and the Agent served as county director for youth programs and as treasurer for the United War Work Campaign.
