Suggestions Relative to the

Preparation

of

the

.

Cour,ty

Agricultural

Agent

1

_{s Annual}

_Report.

The an:_1ual report is a

review

_I analysis,

interpretation,

and

presentation

to the

people

of the county, the State

and

tne

Nation of the

sum

to+,al of

th~

activities

of the

county

aericultu.ral ~gent for the

year.

The

making

of

such

a report is of primary value to the county agricultural

agent

and

the.

county

extension

orgardzation.

~he narrati7e =eport should be a

statement

in orderly fashion, and

under

appropriate

subheadings., of the work

done,

methods used, and results secured

under each project, as

-

well

as

of the general

work

accomplished.

Every

state-ment

si1ould

be

clear-cut,

concise, forceful,

and,

where

:possible, rein~orced

with

arri~le data from

the statistital summary..

In

the preparation of

the

part of

the

report

relating

to each project, the results repo~ted

in the statistical

suranary for the project should be analyzed, conclusion

drawn, and

~ecommenda-tions

made.

Tr-e

report

may well be illustrated with

photographs,

maps,

dia-g:~s, blue

prints

or

cc~ies of charts

and other

forms used in

demonstration

work.

Full credit should be given to all cooperating

agenciesy

The lines

should

be

single-spaced,

~ith double space

between the

paragraphs, and reason-~bly good margin~ left,. The statistical summary will grow naturally out of the field and cffice records.

The

following plan is

suggestive of how

the rei.Jort

may be clearly

and

systematically

outlined:

Statistical

S-ummary.

To supplement the narrative pa.rt of the repo~ct, and in ord.el" tl:i2.t ccm:-' parable State and National s1.1mmaries can be made, it is necessary that each agent include a statistical summary of the work in his county. The follaning form has been prepared to insure unifonnity in reporting. In addition to the questions asked under each subdivision of the report, s?ace is provided for the State to add other questions of State-wide :importance. Additional rocrn

is also provided for each county agent to aad other important statistical in-formation not covered in the series of National and State questions. For the sake of clearness the question3 are arranged in the s&me order as suggested

for the narrative.
