-Suggestions Relative to the Preparation of the County Agricultural Agent t s .Annual Report ..

The annual report is a review, analysis, interpretation, and presentation to the people of the county, the State, and the Nation o£ the sum total of the activities of the county agricultural agent for the year. The making of suCh a report is of primary value to the county agricultural agent a.nd the coUJ."'lty extension organization.

The narrative report should be a statement in orderly fashion, and under

a_ppropriate subheadings, of the v'lork done, methods

12 .

sec

t

,

.end results secured under each project, as well as of the general work accomplished. Every state-ment should be clear-cut, concise, forceful, and, where possible, rein~orced

with ample data. from the statistical summary... In the preparation of the part

of the report relating to each project, the results reported in the statistical summary for the project should be analyzed, conclusion dravv.n, and recanmenda-tions made. The report may well be illustrated with photographs. maps,

dia-grams, blue prints -or copies of charts and other forms used in demonstration work. Full credit should be given to all cooperating agencies.. The lines

should be single-spaced, with double space between the paragraphs, and reason ... ably good margins left. The statistical surmna.ry will grow naturally out of the field and office records.

The following plan is suggestive of how the re~ort may be clearly and

systematically outlined:

Sta~istical Summary.

To supiJlement the narrative :part of the report, and. in order tbat ccm;-parable State and National summaries can be made, it is necessary that each agent include a statistical summa:cy

of

the work in his county.. T:te following form has been prepared to insure unifonnity in reporting. In addition to the questions asked under each subdivision of the report, space is provided for the State to add other questions of State-wide importance. Additional roam is also :provided for each county agent to add. other :L'!!portant statistical in-foma.tion not covered in the series of National and State questions. For the s~~e of clearness the questions are arranged in the same order as suggested for the narrative ..
