SUGGESTIONS RELATIVE TO THE PREPARATION OF THE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT'S ANNUAL REPORT
S:x good reasons may be listed as to why an extension worker should prepare a comprehensive annual report. 1 The annual report is an accounting to the taxpaying public of what the extension worker has accomplished during the
year.
2. It is a record of the year's work put into shape for ready reference in later years by the extension worker himself, or by his successors.
3. The annual report affords the extension worker opportunity to place his activities and accomplishments before superior officers, who form judgment as to which workers are deserving of promotion or best qualified to fill responsible posi-tions when vacancies occur.
4. The inventory of the past year's efforts and accomplishments enables the extension worker to plan more effectively for the coming year.
5. An accurate report of his work is a duty every scientific worker owes to the other members of his profession. 6. Annual reports are required by Federal law.
From four to six copies of the annual report should be made, depending upon the number required by the State office: One copy for the county officials, one copy for the agent's files, one or more copies 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
A separate narrative report is desired from the leader of each line of work, such as county agricultural agent, home demon-stration agent, boys' and girls' club agent, and Negro agent. Where an assistant agent has been employed during a part or all of the year, the report of 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.
The narrative report should summarize and interpret under appropriate subheadings the outstanding results accomplished in helping rural people to solve their current problems and to make adjustments to changing economic and social conditions.
A good narrative report should enable the reader to obtain a comprehensive picture of-1. What was attempted—the program as outlined at the beginning of the year. 2. How the work was carried on—the teaching methods employed.
3. The cooperation obtained from other extension workers, rural people, commercial interests, and other public agencies.
4. Definite accomplishments, supported by objective evidence.
5. Significance of the year's progress and accomplishments in terms of better agriculture, better homemaking, improved boys and girls, better rural living, etc.
6. How next year's work can be strengthened and improved in light of the current year's experience.
The following suggestions are for those agents who wish to prepare a better annual report than the one submitted last year:
1. Read the definitions of extension terms on the last page of this schedule.
2. Read last year's annual report again, applying the criteria for a good annual report discussed above. 3. Prepare an outline with main headings and subheadings.
4. Go over the information and data assembled from various office sources. 5. Decide upon a few outstanding pieces of work to receive major emphasis.
6. Employ a newspaper style of writing, placing the more important information first. 7. Observe accepted principles of English composition.
8. Include only a few photographs, news articles, circular letters, or other exhibits to illustrate successful teaching methods. Do not make the annual report a scrapbook.
STATISTICAL SUMMARY
Where two or more agents are employed in a county they should submit a single statistical report showing the combined activities and accomplishments of all county extension agents employed in the county during the year. Negro men and women agents should prepare a combined statistical report separate from that of the white agents.
.erovision is made in the report form for each agent to report separately the teaching activities he or she conducts or partici-pates in during the report year. County totals are the sum of the activities of all agents minus duplications where two or more agents engage in the same activity. For purposes of reporting, extension results or accomplishments are ex-pressed in numbers of farmers or families assisted in making some improvement or definitely influenced to make a change. Such an improvement or change may be the outcome of any phase of the program for men, women, older rural youth, or 4-H Club boys and girls. Only the improvement or change taking place during the current year as the result of extension effort should be reported. Census type of information on the status of farm and home practices should not be included. For use on the national level the statistical data on the year's extension activities and accomplishments. must be ex-pressed in somewhat broad and general terms. Each State extension service may desire to include in a statistical supple-ment additional information on problems and activities peculiar to the State or sections of the State.

SUMMARY OF EXTENSION INFLUENCE THIS YEAR
It is highly desirable for extension workers to consider the proportion of farms and homes in the county that have been definitely influenced to make some sub-stantial change in farm or home operations during the report year as a result of the extension work done with men, women, and youth. It is recognized that this information is very difficult for agents to report accurately, so a conservative estimate based upon such records, surveys, and other sources of information as are available will be satisfactory.

TERMINOLOGY
If extension reports are to convey the intended information, it is important that the terminology employed be that generally accepted by members of the extension teaching profession everywhere. Precise use of extension terms is an obligation each extension worker owes to the other members of his or her profession. The following definitions have been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture and by the Association of Land-Grant Colleges and Universities.
DEFINITIONS OF EXTENSION TERMS
1. 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.
2. A cooperator is a farmer or homemaker 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.
3. Days in field should include all days spent on official duty other than "days in office."
4. Days in office should include time spent by the county extension agent in the office, at annual and other extension conferences, and on any other work directly related to office administration.
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, homemaker, boy, or girl under the direct supervision 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, that the use of certified seed in growing potatoes is a good investment, or that a large farm business results in a more efficient use of labor.
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 demonstration meeting is a meeting held to give a method demonstration or to start, inspect, or further a result demonstration.
•
7. A result demonstrator is an adult, a boy, or a girl who conducts a result demonstration as defined above.
8. An extension school is a school usually of 2 to 6 days' duration, arranged by the Extension Service, where practical instruction is given to persons not resident at the college.
9. An extension short course differs from an extension school in that it is usually held at the college or another educational institution and usually for a longer period of time.
10. A farm or home visit is a call by the agent at a farm or home at which some definite information relating to extension work is given or obtained.
11. Farmers (or families) assisted this year should include those directly or indirectly influenced by extension work to make some change during the report year as indicated by:
(1) Adoption of a recommended practice.
(2) Further improvement in a practice previously accepted. (3) Participation in extension activities.
(4) Acceptance of leadership responsibility.
(5) Or by other evidence of desirable change in behavior.
12. 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.
13. 4—H Club members enrolled are those boys and girls who actually start the work outlined for the year.
14. 4—II Club members completing are those boys and girls who satisfactorily finish the work outlined for the year. 15. 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 organi-zation or a subject-matter leader.
16. A leader-training meeting is a meeting at which project leaders, local leaders, or committeemen are trained to carry on extension activities in their respective communities.
17. Letters written should include all original letters on official business. (Duplicated letters should not be included.) 18. An office call is a call in person by an individual or a group seeking agricultural or home-economics information, as a
result of which some definite assistance or information is given. A telephone call differs from an office call in that the assistance or information is given or received by means of the telephone. Telephone calls may be either incoming or outgoing.
19. A plan of work is a definite outline of procedure for carrying out the different phases of the program. 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.
20. An extension program is a statement of the specific projects to be undertaken by the extension agents during a year or a period of years.
21. Records consist of definite information on file in the county office that will enable the agent to verify the data on ex-tension work included in this report.
22. The older rural youth group is primarily a situation group, out of school, at home on farms, not married or started farming on their own account, and mostly 16 to 25 years of age.

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL APPRISAL OF COTTEJOS COUNTY
In 1806 Lt. Zebulon Pike wrote in his diary that the future of the area that is now Conejos County must be without limitations.
The future outlook is brighter than ever before in this county where no total crop failures have been known in eighty years of constant farming, and where there are no dust storms nor floods, and where there is plenty of room to expand.
From the time the American flrg was first unfurled over what is no Colorado on Janusxy 2nd, 1807, when Lt. Zebulon Pike rais-ed the colors above his stockade on the Conejos river, there has been a steady mr,rch toward an intensive aEfriculture.
The year of 1945 also produced abundant results for Conejos County farmers with a figure of 1,000 carloads of vegetables being shipped. The Extension Service was very active in this production, as there was hardly a day during the growing season that the Exten-sion Service was not called on for services or for inform:ttion
concerning these vegetable crops. This is a total of around 1,000, 000 dollars derived from this crop.
The utilization of the by-products derived from this crop is a definite part of the Extension Program. The feeding of the clean up, the preseriation of reserve feed for winter, and the salvaging of seed has received much attention from this office. The fatten-inc of hogs on pea pastures is very valuable practice and this has become an accepted practice in the valley.
Besides the 13000 carloads of vegetables that were shipped to Eastern markets, there were enough peas which went to waste in the town of La Jara alone to feed the entire State of Colorado. The Extension Service is doing various things to try and prevent such
a
waste next year.In the potato industry the Extension Service has been very in-strauiental in the raising one of the best crops for quality that has ever been produced in the county. There has been definite aid to farmers in planning the crop rotation, raising, harvesting, tran-sportation, marketing and ultimately the usage of the by products of the crop.
The cattle, sheep, hogs, and other livestock consuming these by products of
the crops
program have been under direct contact of the Extension Service help, and it might be said that many improve-ments were adopted asa
result of this contact.(continued)
Looking at the social advancement that has been achieved thr-ough the aid of the Extension Service in the county, we may point proudly to many things. Coming with tne benefits from the cash re-ceived for vegetables, potatoes, livestock and grain are the opp-ortunities to build socially. Roads, schools, public centers have expanded. Many new buildings that were needed for storage have gone up, fences repaired, buildings painted, homes redecorated, and many things of household nature have been bought.
Health problems are ever becoming greater and with the invent-ory that planning members of the communities have taken it is far easier to attack the problems more intelligently.
In conclusion let it be said that the economic and social ben-efits coming directly or indirectly from the Extension Service to Conejos County's 11,638 people can not be counted in dollars and cents, but that these benefits are beyond true and set estimate for the people of this or any °tiler county.
