Excerpt from The County Agent and the Farm Bureau The second decade of the twentieth century has been an eventful one for farmers. World economic conditions and especially the great war brought to its culmination the trend of affairs already well under way, which restored the farm ers' purchasing power and consequent prosperity. But this was attained only to be lost in the greatest slump in the purchasing power of agricultural products ever known in the United States. The reversal of the ratio of rural to urban population in the last half century has focused attention on the problems of marketing and distribution. The problem and a better understanding of its nature and solution together have stimulated a great period of organi zation among farmers. Prosperity brought with it new and effective means of education. Both in this agricultural organization and in the new means of education the county agent and the farm bureau have had 'a large part, which should be better understood and appreciated.
