SUMMARY REPORT OF WORK OF COUNTY AGENT.

To THE CouNTY AGENT:

In the annual report due from each agent it is desired that the agent give a clear, concise account of the work of the year. This report should be divided into two parts: (1) A narrative report, and (2)

a tabulated or summary report.

(1) Narrative Report: This is by far the more important part of the annual report and should he in effect a statement in orderly fashion, and under appropriate subheadings of the work done and the results secured under each project undertaken, as well as the miscellaneous work accomplished. 'rhis report may be illustrated with photographs, maps, diagrams, blue prints, or copies of charts used in demonstration work.

(2) Summary Report: This is really designed to be a summary of those features of the narrative report that can be tabulated. In order that comparable State and national summaries may be made, it is necessary that each agent usc practically the same method of tabulating. To secure such uni-formity, the accompanying blank has been prepared. It is based on the report blanks used by the agents since the ,,.,.ork started and covers only the more usual phases of the work. Under each sub-division of the blank, space is provided to accon1modate such entries as an individual agent may "'ish to make. Some of the questions will not apply to the work in a certain county, and these, of course, need not be answered. It may often happen that the added items are more important than the pro-vided headings. It n1ay also be necessary at times to make estimates, but, so far as possible, all data should be based on office records. The following pages are designed as a form which the agent may

use in accounting for such phases of his work as it may be possible to put in tabular form.

Instructions for tabulating r·esults of demonstation work.-Below are given instructions for use in

filling out tables on page 5 of the sum1nary report.

These tables are for the purpose of tabulating the definite demonstration work* of the agent where :1ccurate known results were secured. Under each of the following titles with appropriate subheadings list all demonstration work in relation to that subject: Corn, Oats, Wheat, Potatoes, Alfalfa, Other Farm Crops, Orchard Fruits, Sn1all Fruits, Truck Crops, Soil Demonstrations, Liming, Green M:anuring, Drainage, Miscellaneous Demonstrations in Relation to Crops and Soils, Feeding Demonstrations, Stock Judging, Hog-cholera Control, Blackleg Treatment, and Miscellaneous Demonstrations in Relation to Live Stock.

(1) In column 1 give the total number of de1nonstrations in regard to each particular subject, whether a meeting was held or not, but do not list demonstrations given at miscellaneous public meet-ings, such as institutes, short courses, farmers' clubs, etc.

(2) In column 2 list all demonstration meetings held.

(3) In column 3 give the total::tttendance at meetings listed in column 2.

(4) In column 4 give a measure of the total number of units involved in the demonstration in terms of acres, tons, bushels, etc.

(5) In column 5 give results of demonstrations, expressing results in terms of increased yield in bushels, tons, dollars, acres, etc. Indicate the me::tsurement used. Do not give the increase in percentage.

(6) In colu1nn 6 give the total profit secured due to increase as given in column 5 nJter all ::tddi-tional expenses of the method demonstrated, including the extra cost of harvesting and marketing, have been deducted.

-r.-A demonstration is an effort designed to show by example the practical application of an established fact. Demonstration may be of methods or results.
