to the people of tho
county, the
State,
and the
Nation
of the sum total of the agricultural activities of the county
agricultural agent for the year.
The m
·
a19.ng_ of such a report is of primary value to the county
agricultural agent and the farm bureau officers and members.
The report
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 statement should be clear-cut,
·
concise, forceful, and, where possible,
~ein
forced 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 drawn, and recommendations n1ade. The report may well be illustrated
with
photograph~,
maps, diagrams, blue prints or copies of charts and.other forms used in
demon-stration
work. Full credit
should
be given
in all cooperating agencies. The lines
sho~dbe
single-spaced,
with double space bet'i
Yee
n the paragraphs,
'
and reasonably good margins left. The
statistical summary
w
ill
grow
naturally out of the field

and office records.
The following plan is suggestive of how the report may be clearly
