SUGGESTIONS RELATIVE TO THE PREPARATION OF THE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT'S ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report should be a summary, with analysis and interpretations, for presentation to

the people of the county, the State, and the Nation of the extension activities in each county for the year and the results obtained by the county extension agent, assisted by the subject-matter specialists. The making of such a report is of great value to the county extension agent and the people of the

county in showing the progress made during the year as a basis for future plans. It is of vital concern also to the State and Nation as a measure of rural progress and a basis for intelligent legislation and

financial support of extension work.

Separate statistical and narrative reports are desired from each leader of a line of work, such as county agricultural agent, home demonstration agent, boys' and girls' club agent, and negro agent,

regardless of title. Where an assistant agent has been employed a part or all of the year, a report on

his or her work should be included with the report of the leader of that line of work. Where an agent in charge of a line of work has quit the service during the year, the information contained in his or her

report should be incorporated in the annual report of the agent on duty at the close of the report year, and the latter report so marked. Where two or more agents are employed in a county, each a leader of a line of work, statistics should not be duplicated.

At least four copies of the annual report should be made: One copy for the county officials, one

copy for the agent's files, one copy for the State extension office, and one copy for the Extension Service, United States Department of Agriculture. The report to the Washington office should be sent through the State extension office.

NARRATIVE SuMMARY

The narrative report should summarize and interpret the outstanding results accomplished and

the extension methods used, under appropriate subheadings, for each project. Every statement should

be clear-cut, concise, forceful, and, where possible, reenforced with necessary data from the statistical summary. Use an interesting style of writing, giving major accomplishments first under each project. Give extension methods fully relating to outstanding results only, and where practicable illustrate with

photographs, maps, diagrams, blue prints, or copies of charts and other forms used. Full credit should

be given to all cooperating agencies. The lines should be single-spaced, with double space between the paragraphs, and reasonably good margins. The pages should be numbered in consecutive order.

The following outline is suggestive of how the narrative report may be clearly and systematically presented. Each agent should adapt the outline to the situation and the work to be reported.

STATISTICAL SuMMARY

To supplement the narrative part of the report, and in order that comparable State and National

summaries may be made, it is necessary to include a statistical summary of the work in each county. The following form has been prepared to insure uniformity of reporting:

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS uSED IN THIS REPORT

1. A program of work is a statement of the specific lines of extension work to be undertaken by the extension agent during a year or a period of years.

2. A plan of work is a definite outline of procedure for carrying out the different phases of the program of work. Such a plan provides specifically for the means to be used and the methods of using them. It also shows what, how much, when, and where the work is to be done.

3. A community is a more or less well-defined group of rural people with common interests and problems. Such a group may include those within a township, trade area, or similar limits. For the purpose of this report a community is one of the several units into which a county is divided for conducting organized extension work.

4. A project leader, local leader, or committeeman is a person who, because of special interest and fitness, is selected to serve as a leader in advancing some phase of the local extension program. A project leader may be either an organiza-tion or a subject-matter leader.

5. Demonstrations as contemplated in this report are of two kinds-method demonstrations and result demonstrations. A method demonstration is a demonstration given by an extension worker or other trained leader for the purpose of showing how to carry out a practice. Examples: Demonstrations of how to can fruits and vegetables, mix spray materials, and cull poultry.

A result demonstration is a demonstration conducted by a farmer, home maker, boy, or girl under the direct super-vision of the extension worker, to show locally the value of a recommended practice. Such a demonstration involves a substantial period of time and records of results and comparisons, and is designed to teach others in addition to the person conducting the demonstration. Examples: Demonstrating that the application of fertilizer to cotton will result in more profitable yields, that underweight of certain children can be corrected through proper diet, or that the use of certified seed in growing potatoes is a good investment.

The adoption of a farm or home practice resulting from a demonstration or other teaching activity employed by the extension worker as a means of teaching is not in itself a demonstration.

6. A result demonstrator is an adult, boy, or girl who conducts a result demonstration as defined above.

7. A cooperator is a farmer or home maker who agrees to adopt certain recommended practices upon the solicitation of an extension worker. The work is not directly supervised by the extension agent and records are not required, but reports on the success of the practices may be obtained.

8. A 4-H Club is an organized group of boys and/or girls with the objectives of demonstrating improved practices in agriculture or home economics, and of providing desirable training for the members.

9. 4-H Club members enrolled are those boys and girls who actually start the work outlined for the year.

10. 4-H Club members completing are those boys and girls who satisfactorily finish the work outlined for the year. 11. A demonstration meeting is a meeting held to give a method demonstration or to start, inspect, or further a result demonstration.

12. A training meeting is a meeting at which project leaders, local leaders, or committeemen are trained to carry on extension activities in their respective communities.

13. An office call is a call in person or by telephone by an individual or group seeking agricultural or home-economics in-formation, as a result of which some definite assistance or information is given.

14. A farm or home visit is a call by the agent at a farm or home at which some definite information relating to exten-sion work is given or obtained.

15. Days in office should include time spent by the county extension agent in his office, extension conferences, and any other work directly related to office administration.

16. Days in field should include all days spent on official duty other than those spent in office.

17. Letters written should include all original letters on official business. (Duplicated letters should not be included.) 18. An extension school is a school usually of two to six days' duration, arranged by the extension service, where practical instruction is given to persons not resident at the college. An extension short course differs from an extension school in that it is usually held at the college or other educational institution and usually for a longer period of time.

19. Records consi10t of definite information on file in the county office that will enable the agent to verify the data on

STATUS OF C aJNTY ORGANIZATION

"Extension work in Boulder County is carried on through the cooperation of the County Commissioners, and State Agricultural College and the United States Department of Agriculture.

"~vo agents, an Extension Agent and a Home De-monstration Agent are hired for the purpose of carry-ing on Extension work in the county."

THE EXTENSION BU~U

The Extension Bureau is the county organization fostering Extension work in Boulder County. Its mem-bership is made up of persons who are actively engaged in extension work.

The activities of the Extension Bureau are divid-ed under the fOllowing headings:

l. Crops 6. Clothing

2. Livestock 7. Nutrition

3. Boys' Club Work

a.

Home Improvement 4. Mise. Men's Work 9. Girls' Club Work

5. Fairs and Finance 10. Fair Exhibits

The directors of the organization act as

chair-men

for the different groups of work, and are selected because of their interest in that particular line of extension work. The election of directors takes place in November at the annual meeting. During the early part of December the directors meet and elect a Pres-ident, two Vice-presidents, and a Secretary-Treasurer of the organization from members not acting as directors. The officers with the directors act as an advisory

council, working with the County Agent and Home Demon-stration Agent in the promotion of extension work in the county.

Council of Rural Women

The Council of Rural Women is a

county-wide organiz~tion of women interested in

ex-tension work. During 1930 the meetings have been held at the Boys' and Girls' Club Build-ing in Longmont the third Tuesday of each month between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Officers are elected annually at the

November meeting of the Council, to take office

at the January meeting.

The officers of the organization for 1930 were:

President --- Mrs. John Cochran, Lyons. Vice-president --- Mrs. Geo. France, Hygiene. Secretary-Treas. --- Mrs. Hugh Dodd, Niwot.

County chairmen of projects:

Clothing --- Mrs. H. E. Johnson, .Longmont.

Nutrition --- Mrs. Frank Brunning, Altona.

Home Improvement --- Mrs.

~·airs and Exhibits --- lv:lrs. Robt. Linton; S~Longmont. Chairmen of the projects were appointed

by the president after conferring with the County Home DemonstratiOn Agent.

Programs for the county meetings were planned by a co~ttee made up of the officers of the County Council, and two representatives from each local extension club. Meetings were planned with the idea of correlating the county meetings with the projects being carried in the

local clubs.

Local Extension Clubs

In 1927 Boulder County adopted a project called an Organization Project with the goal -- 11

a local group in every community carrying on exten-sion work.• One extenexten-sion club existed at that tj_~.

During 1927 ·t,wo new clubs were organized, one at Altona, known as the Foothills Club, .and

the second, at Lyons. 1928 saw the Hygiene and Niwot clubs organized. The St. Vrain club was organized in the vicinity of Hygiene during 1929, as one club could not accownodate as many as wished to belong to an extension club.

The 20th Century Club organized during 1930 makes a total of seven clubs in Boulder County that are carrying on a full time extension progran4

Each local club has its president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, elected annually at the November meeting.. Membership in these clubs averages about fifteen.

During November a comnuttee composed of the president and one other member from each Extension club, meet with the officers of the County Council at the Extension Office to plan the work for the ensueing year. In this way it is possible to carry on a unified program of work within the county. At the December meetings of the local clubs the hostesses are selected and the information sent to the county office where program booklets are made for each member.

~~thod of Determination

-A county connnittee made up of the president and one other member of each of the local extension

clubs, and the officers of the county Council of Rural

' omen, net with the County Home Demonstration Agent in December, 1929, to make preliminary plans for the work during 1930. It was decided that a survey of Boulder County should be made to determine the
