Tho last '.Missouri Legislature af
ter a hard fought battlo passed by a
most dcclHlvo majority of -90 to 45
In tho House and 20 to 12 In tins
Senate, tho Full County Unit Local
Option Hill. This measure Is n pure
ly democratic one, giving to each
county aa a hoparto unit tho right
of deciding tho dramshop question
within Its bordurs. Under this law
cities of 2C00 or abovo would of no
ucsslly voto with tho balanco of tho
county oh tho question. This would
glvo to tho entire county cither the
right to have saloons or to shut them
out. The liquor Interests of tho
Mtnto determined tho pcoplo should
not have tho privilege of voting up
on their business as long as It could
bo prevented and tboy UBod tho Hcf
crondum to hold up tho measuro for
two years. Paid agontB of tho traf
fic 88 well ns tho saloonkeepers
themselves circulated .petitions until
sufficient names wero secured to In
voko tho referendum. Tho question
Is now up for settlement at tho com
ing general election In Novombor.
Tho question ralsod not only In
volves tho County Unit Local Option
law Uul Involvon tho moro tirloiia
question of whether or not thcMftls
sourl Legislature bIibII bo sustained
In lis action .When It has followed
clearly tho expressed will of tho ma
jority of the stnto in tho enactment
of tho law. If tho purpose of this
referendum succcoda In defeating
county Unit it practically establishes
tho principal that no Importunt leg
islation passed by tho legislature can
stand If uny considerable Jntorest
corrupt or othorvlso opjwso such leg
islation. As Iiob boon proven by past ox
porlenco tho Inltlatlva and referen
dum ralso such peculiar difficulties
that It Is very difficult to secure a
Jaw by theso methods. Ono peculiar
ly unfortunato measure among iv
largo numbor of Inltlatlvo or refer
endum proposltlona has boon Buffl
clout to carry down to dofeat any
numbor of other meritorious propo
sitions, Tho County Unit Law is opposed
most bitterly by tho entire liquor In
torostB of tho stato ao In ull proba
bility It would glvo Missouri a total
of moro than 100 entirely dry'couu-
tos. It would compol somo of our
mlddlo Blied cities to submit to tho
will ot tho majority In tho entire
county a thing, of course, tho llg-
uor interests are nlways opposod to,
but against which no legltlmato ar
gument can bo mado. In no other
.stato In tho union can cities bo vot
ed separately from tho counties In
which thoy aro located undor tho
County Local Option Law and lt'o
high tlmo MUsolirl was falling In
lino with what is conceded ovory
whoro olso.s Tho law Is eminently
fair unless a majority voto can be
called unfair. Missouri Bpoko out
in tho choice of tho Legislature. In
1012 on this quostlon as this was
porhups tho most prominent issue.
Tho pooplo from ovory nook and cor
ner of tho etato urgud..thopaosago of
this measure A majority "yes"
voto on this referendum in Novem
ber will put into actlvo operation
this law that now Is luopprnllv'o thru

GO. AGENTS NOT
CHIEFLY ADVISERS
Tho following article should bo op
portuno owing to tho fact that a farm
nuviscr or county agent litis been ap
pointed for Salliio county. p. V.
Mnrvls, ns was announced last week,
Is tho gentlemen selected for Saline
county and ho Is expected to 'enter
upon his duties about Juno 1st.
County agricultural agents nro
sometimes refcircd to ns "county ad
visers." This implies n misunder
standing of tho real work of the
agent. Advisory work Is u part of
tho agent's duties, but Is n minor
part. Tho county agricultural agent
has nhout half a dozen principal
functions:
(1) Ha studies the agriculture of
tho county to leifrn what Is being
dona nnd what Is worth whllo agri
culturally In each part of It. This
study Includes farm financial and or
ganization surveys.
(2) Ho gives the results of bis
studies to farmers, not In tho way of
advice, but ns facts observed alTd con
clusions drawn. This Is dono thr
ough tho local press, lectures, Insti
tutes, circulars, short coruses, nnd
personal Interviews.
(.1) Ilnsed on theso local studies
and tho ascertained needs of tho
county, clubs, associations, nnd tho
like nro organized and thu Individu
als solicited to undertake definite
linos of agricultural improvement on
tlmlr own farms. Organizations are
ulso formed Mr cooperative buying
and marketing and tho standardiza
tion of farm products.
(I) Ho endeavors to coordinate
nlf existing agricultural agencies
within tho county, so that nil mny
work unitedly nnd efficiently.
(5) Ho devolopes local leader
ship. Tho task of Improving the ag
riculture of an entire county Is so
stupendous that tho agont must bo
primarily an administrator. He
must Inspire and accept tho help of
voluntary assistants In work.
(C) Ho acts us the connecting
link between thn scientists of the ra
xcarch institutions of the jitato und
nation and thq farmer, presenting tJm
results of Investigations In such a
way that tho farmer can use them,
nnd calling attention of scientists to
the locnl agricultural problems of the
county nnd soliciting their assistance.
(7) Ho gives ndvlcc. This may
relate to spraying, seed treatment,
mixing fertilizers, combating Insect
pests, cultural practices, or other
miscellaneous matters which nro tho
jdock in trado of every well-informed
ugcut. tho giving oi novice is sev
enth on tho list, becnusu in actually
Improving tho agrlculluro of tho
country I) Is probably of least Im
portance, though In point of tlmo It
may bo tho first work undertaken.
