SUMMARY REPORT OF WORK OF COUNTY AGENTS.

To THE CouNTY AGENT:

In the annual report due from each agent it is desired that the agent give a clear, succinct account

of the work of the year. This report should be divided into two parts: (1) A narrative report, and (2)

a tabulated or summary report.

(1) Narrative Report: This is by far the more important part of the annual report and should

be in effect a statement in orderly fashion, and under appropriate subheadings of the work done and the results secured under each project undertaken, as well as the miscellaneous work accomplished. This report may be illustrated with photographs, maps, diagrams, blue prints, or copies of charts used in demonstration work.

(2) Summary Report: This is really designed to be a summary of those features of the narrative

report that can be tabulated. In order that comparable State and national summaries may be made, it is necessary that each agent use practically the same method of tabulating. To secure such uni-formity, the accompanying blank has been prepared. It is based on the report blanks used by the

agents for the past four years and covers only the more usual phases of the work. Under each sub-division of the blank, space is provided to accommodate such entries as an individual agent may wish to make. Some of the questions will not apply to the work in a particular county and these, of course, need not be answered. It may often happen that the added items are more important than the pro-vided headings. It may also be necess-ary at times to make estimates, but, so far as possible, all data should be based on office records. The following pages are designed as a form which the agent may use in accounting for such phases of his work as it may be possible to put in tabular form.

Instructions for tabulating results of demonstration worlc.-Below are given instructions for use in

:filling out tables on pages 3 and 4 of the summary report.

These tables are for the purpose of tabulating the definite demonstration work* of the agent where accurate known results were secured. Under each of the following titles with appropriate subheadings

list all demonstration work in relation to that subject: Corn, Oats, Wheat, Potatoes, Alfalfa, Other

Farm Crops, Orchard Fruits, Small Fruits, Truck Crops, Soil Demonstrations, Liming, Green Manuring,

Drainage, Miscellaneous Demonstrations in Relation to Crops and Soils, Feeding Demonstrations,

Stock Judging, Hog-cholera Control, Blackleg Treatment, and Miscellaneous Demonstrations in

Rela-tion to Live Stock.
