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

The annual report is a review, analysis, interpretation, and presentation to the people of the

r,ounty, the State, and the Nation of the sum total of the agricultural activities of the county

agricultural agent for the year. The making 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,

rein-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 made. The report ;may well be

illustrated with photographs, maps, diagrams, 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 reasonably good margins

left. The statistical summary will grow naturally out of the field and office records.

The following plan is suggestive of how the report may be clearly and systematically outlined:

SUGGESTIVE OUTLINE OF ANNUAL REPORT.

I. Cover pa~e. II. Title page. III. Table of contents.

IV. Status of farm bureau organization.

(1) Form of organization-distinctive features.

(2) Function of members, officers, and committees in developing the program of work. (3) General policies, including relationships to other organizations.

V. Program of work- methods employed and results achieved.

(1) Factors determining program. (2) Project activities and

results-(a) In the development of the farm bureau dnring the year.

(b) In soil improvement. (c) In crop production.

(d) In live stock production.

(e) In farm economics.

(f) In marketing (buying and selling). (g) In farm home betterment.

(h) In Boys' and Girls' Clubs. (i) In other project activities.

(3) Character and scope of office and field service.

(4) Analysis and interpretation of tabular summary, pp. 18, 19.

VI. Outlook and recommendations (including suggestive program of work for next year).

VII. Summary of activities and accomplishments (preferably of one or two typewritten pages only placed at the end of the narrative report).

STATISTICAL SUMMARY.

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

summaries can he ;made, it is necessary that each agent include a statistical summary of the work

in his county. 'rhe following blanks have been prepared to insure uniformity in method of

reporting. In addition to the questions asked under each subdivision of the report, space is

pro-vided for the State to add other questions of State-wide importance. Additional room is also

provided for each county agent to add other important statistical information not eovered in the

series of National and State questions. For the :sake of dearnt>ss the questions are arranged in
