A  Last week I overlooked stressing my tirst successful meet-
 ; ing wliere I endeavored to start a program of work, so I want to
  tell you just what we did.
 · The tirst meeting advertised was in the north end of the
  county. I put Alr. — —- --—» · in charge of this me:-ting_ but
 _ no one came tllll so ot` course nothing could be done.
  The second meeting was held in the southern end of the
  county where we have a few good farms on a creek bottom. Four
 ty men were present. I hung my board on the wall, and drew the
  ortline for them and then got them started to talking about the
 _ niost important thing that their community needed. \\'ell. do
 · you know they jumped me about drainagze right away. I had
thought of drainage some t`or tl1at locality l)ll[ didn`t know they
 V were so interested in it. They started right out to plan how they
·‘ could get not only their own bottom tiled but how they could
J interest their neighbors. It did me good to see these men begin
 · to plan out their campaign. This was something they wanted
5 and they didu`t sit back and let me talk. \\'e tinally appointed
 I a good leader and set ten men as our goal to order more or less
 = Illia:. The plan is to order all together.
·   Next. these men informed me that plantain was ruining their
grass. It developed that the creek overtlowed on their bottoms i
` and set it fresh each year.
l Ilere was a problem that I knew little about and I saw it was
serious, so we set to work and I called their attention to the fact `
` ~

that they were on the head of the creek and we could try A v_  strtttf
rotation on the bottoms which were highest up on the creek wlu_~;·., ;_  as nll
plantain is tirst found. This we are going to do if we can l}('l'Slltttl•;  ·` their
the Hlflll rarthest up on the creek to work out at rotrition. ill; _,  out tl
those present, of their own accord, agreed to cut off a part O·  ‘ .
` their bottoms where tl1e overilow did not reach but where tgt  'Z Umli
' plantain had spread, and try a rotation. A good leader was voted   me S
on and the others promised to back him up.  ; could
I then steered them on selecting their seed corn in the ti··i.§  ‘ WVU i
and the leader was agreed upon and six men set as their goal.  * tester
This gives us two short time projects and one long time projec; » is tht
When I look back on my past work as an agent and thiug · A
of the times I have wished that I might be of more scrriccl
deeply regret that I did not have a plan of this sort to follow. i  mpg
Very truly yours, im` "
