What is the Future of the_ e . Service What's going to happen to exten- sion education in the agricultural in- dustry? There ..was athne extension (particularly in •Ontario) wp,s carried out by the -agricultural representative, working out of the provincial government office in each 'county. This is no longer the case. Now it seems almost every company selling specialized products to .farm- ers, has its own ektension-salesman. in each county; other branches of the ...Department of Agriculture, besides the official - extension branch have their own fieldmen ; Agricultural Col- leges and Agricultural -Schools he extension departments with special personnel working out- from them. • All these extension personnel, includ- ing the industry salesmen, are doing a good job and aTe well qua1ifi'ed7---- • At the annual meeting of the _On- tario Council of the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada, a special, session was- devoted to extension and re- search. During- this session several • delegates expressed the opinion that the agricultural representative ser- • vice is on the way out. Even the ei= premien of such an opinion is alarm- • ing! We are satisfied that the "ag. rep." is close to his farmers and is fully aware of their needs and problems. - The "ag. rep." has a real gaspr of lo- cal farming conditions and is a source for unbiased inforination on local problems. If he doesn't have the in- formation at his- fingertips he knows - what specialist can provide it. • Possibly it is the age of specializa- tion that has brought about a situa- tion where the "ag. rep." isin danger • of being SlAfted to the, bclrtiiiitI We have heard' that a:similar Sit,ua- --tion-exists-in-the--United-States:----- Agricultural representatives are hard-working men. Sometimes when a man is toe close and too tied up he • "can't see the forest for the trees." Maybe the "agrep:" because he is now too heavily leaded, is not pulo- - licizing himself and the services he , can offer for fear of bringing on ex- tra jobs. Possibly he is loaded with work because he has ,been --forced to assume too many non -essentials. Or " maybe the policy at the very top has led to the "agrep." being oversha- dowed by other workers. In the last analysis it mustbe the -farmer who decides whether the "ag. rep." Is here to -say. We are quite sure that if the agricultural rePr.e- SentatiVe-7OffiCes 1 Were 'closed there - would be a great howl from farmers --(Farmer's Acl-Vocat.,e).
