1. It is very noticeable ~he sro.ll percentage of nubbins from the corn that

has been oeleet d for sho 1 a number of ye re.

2. The Silver King ari~ty eave a very high yield of large ear •

3. The corn that had been selected for show did not produce as high yield on test plot as other corn of same variet where how type was not looked for 4. Rannells Bros. eed was not eho~ type seed. It was ton days earlier thart any qthor lot on test ru1d yet ~ very ,ood yiel(ee on test plot , yaalding next to the highest of the Flinn. No. 13 lots.

5. Colorado Yellow Dent, corn l;ha.t has been grc

n

in the county for years, and not selected for show, gave the highest yield both in fodder and corn. Conclusion.(Tentative.) It pays to sel ct corn of the show ype because of lo~ percentage of nubbins. But indiQation~ are that we will have to change our idea of )he type to se act

if

e hope to ~et the highest yields •

.c.arlineee does not cut the yield materiall ' even in a good year for later ty.ee.

Cow Testing

Association

This work, uhile it is very important, has been one of t,he hardoet to keep going. The mnin reason for this c iffl.oulty .is our small herds of dairy

co s over the county. Twelve co~s is abcut th aver

g

~d this makes it almost itn ossible to

ret

cows enough to carry the a.esooi "..tion along.

Ur. S. G. ~~oLain was teeter tho first p ..

trt

of the year. Twenty herds were in the work,

makine

bout 290 cowe tested. During the reorganization

in June, .i.r. r.~cLa.in waa offered an assoc1.ation ~Tith520 cows at Pueblo, which

he took. Several of the herds dro ped out because we could not keep our teeter •

. fe secured lC herds with 130 co ~;s. The B :ighton ~ssooia.tion was also having difficulty in keeping going, eo the two a.ssocie.tiona were combined, using .

to

Attempts were made to hold quarterly meetings of the association, :.tlso

to hold herd tour , but ea.ther condition made several meetings failures

because the people could not get out. The frequent changes in testers have

made the continueiule of this work impossibl ~ 1e hope

it

may go on this

next year.

Suggestions Relativ& to the Preparation of the C_ounty Agricultural

Agent1 _{s Annual Report.}

The annual report is a review, analysis, interpretation, and presentation to the people of the county, the State, an~ the Nation of the sum total of the activities of the county a.t?;ri cultural agent for the year.. The making of such

a report is of primary value to the county a.gricul tural agent and tbe cou.:."lty

extension organization.

The narrative 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

state-ment should be clear-cut, concise, forceful, andJ where possible~ rein~orced

with ample data from the statistital 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 dra~n. and recorr~enda­

tions made. The report may well be illustrated with photographs, Iitaps,

dia-grams. blue prints or ccpies of charts and other forms used in demonstration wcrk. 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 summary will grow naturally out of the field and office records.

The following p-lan is suggestive of how the re}_)ort may be clearly and

systematically outlined:

Statistical Summary.

To su-pplement the narrative part of the report, and in order that ccm7

parable State and National summaries can be made, it is necessary that each

agent include a statistical suou~ary of the work in his county. T~e foll&ving

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 ~portance. Additional roam

is also provided for each county agent to add other important statistical

in-formation not covered in the series of National and State questions.. For the

sake of clearness the questionG are arranged in the same order as suggested

for the narrative.
