By DWIGHT SANDERSON, Head of the Department of Rural Social Organization,
New York College of Agriculture, Cornell University.

work of county agents and county farm bureaus, calls for a book which
describes in plain terms just what this idea means and just how important
it is in rural progress. This book does these two things in a way that
promises to make it an important contribution to the farmers' thinking.

By FRANK A. WAUGH, Head of the Division of Horticulture and Professor of
