SUGGESTIONS RELATIVE TO THE PREPARATION OF THE COUNTY EXTENSION AGENT'S

ANNUAL REPORT

The annual report should be a summary, with analysis and interpretations, for presentation to

the people of the county, the State, and the Nation of the extension activities in each county for the

year and the results obtained by the county extension agent, assisted by the subject-matter specialists.

The making of such a report is of great value to the county extension agent and the people of the

county in showing the

pro~ress

made during the year as a basis for future plans. It is of vital concern

also to the State and N atwn as a measure of rural progress and a basis for intelligent legislation and

financial support of extension work.

Separate statistical and narrative reports are desired from each leader of a line of work, such as

county agricultural agent, home demonstration agent, boys' and girls' club agent, and negro agent,

regardless of title. Where an assistant agent has been employed a part or all of the year, a report on

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. Where two or more agents are employed in a county, each a leader

of a line of work, statistics should not be duplicated.

At least four copies of the annual report should be made: One copy for the county officials, one

copy for the agent's files, one copy 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

The narrative report should summarize and interpret the outstanding results accomplished and

the extension methods used, under appropriate subheadings, for each project. Every statement should

be clear-cut, concise, forceful, and, where possible, reenforced with necessary data from the statistical

summary. Use an interesting style of writing, giving major accomplishments first under each project.

Give extension methods fully relating to outst'anding results only, and where practicable illustrate with

photographs, maps, diagrams, blue prints, or copies of charts and other forms used. 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. The pages should be numbered in consecutive order.

The following outline is suggestive of how the narrative report may be clearly and systematically

presented. Each agent should adapt the outline to the situation and the work to be reported.

STATISTICAL SuMMARY

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

summaries may be made, it is necessary to include a statistical summary of the work in each county.

The following·form has been prepared to insure uniformity of reporting:

DEFINITIONS OF TERMS uSED IN THIS REPORT

1. A program of work is a statement of the specific lines of extension work to be undertaken by the extension agent during a year or a period of years.

2. A plan of work is a definite outline of procedure for carrying out the different phases of the program of work. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 organiza-tion or a subject-matter leader.

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, home maker, boy, or girl under the direct super-vision 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, or that the use of certified seed in growing potatoes is a good investment.

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 result demonstrator is an adult, boy, or girl who conducts a result demonstration as defined above.

7. A cooperator is a farmer or home maker 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.

8. 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.

9. 4-H Club members enrolled are those boys and girls who actually start the work outlined for the year.

10. 4-H Club members completing are those boys and girls who satisfactorily finish the work outlined for the year. 11. A demonstration meeting is a meeting held to give a method demonstration or to start, inspect, or further a result demonstration.

12. A training meeting is a meeting at which project leaders, local leaders, or committeemen are trained to carry on extension activities in their respective communities.

13. An office call is a call in person or by telephone by an individual or group seeking agricultural or home-economics in-formation, as a result of which some definite assistance or information is given.

14. A farm or home visit is a call by the agent at a farm or home at which some definite information relating to exten-sion work is given or obtained.

15. Days in office should include time spent by the county extension agent in his office, extension conferences, and any other work directly related to office administration.

16. Days in field should include all days spent on official duty other than those spent in office.

17. Letters written should include all original letters on official business. (Duplicated letters should not be included.) 18. An extension school is a school usually of two to six days' duration, arranged by the extension service, where practical instruction is given to persons not resident at the college. An extension short course differs from an extension school in that it is usually held at the college or other educational institution and usually for a longer period of time.

19. Records consist of definite information on file in the county office that will enable the agent to verify the data on
