to get tl)e

best

way

to do this on the plane a

is to use e1los .

The Bennett community

Th

ma1n feature. of this insti·tute

tou:r~i

were

well atten.d. d and a

grer~t

was al own.

It

waa

started mostly by the

County

and. the

Denver Oomrnero1a.l Aeeeoiation, . and

I beleive this wa.a

the main reason

why

it failed,

the

people

themselves did. not want ! 't .

Some of the men that were most

interested in the

largest

herds

sold out

and

it

was hard

'to

get new members to

Approved and forwarded by:

In the annual report due fron1 each agent it is · desired that the agent give a clear, concise 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 a.nd the results secured under each project undertaken, as well as the n1iscellaneous work aceon1plished. This report may be illustrated with photographs, maps, diagrams, blue prints, or eopies of eharts 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 eomparable State and national summaries may be made, it is necessary that eaeh agent use praetically the same method of tabulating. To seeure sueh uni-formity, the aeeompanying blank has been prepared. It is based on the report blanks used by the agents since the work started and eovers only the more usual phases of the work. Under eaeh sub-division of the blank, spaee is provided to aecommodate such entries as an individual agent may wish to make. Some of the questions will not apply to the work in a eertain eounty, and these, of eourse, need not be answered. It may often happen that the added items are more important than the pro-vided headings. It may also be necessary 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 aceounting for sueh phases of his work as it may be possible to put in tabular form.

Instructions for tabulating results of demonstation work.-Below are given instructions for use in

filling out tables on page 5 of the summary report. ·

These tables are for the purpose of tabulating the defmite demonstration work* of the agent where accurate known results were secured. Under eaeh of the following titles with appropriate subheadings list all demonstration work in relation to thtt subject: Corn, Oats, Wheat, Potatoes, Alfalfa, Other Farm Crops, Orchard Fruits, Small Fruits, Truck Crops, Soil Demonstrations, Liming, Green Manuring, Drainage, Miseellaneous Demonstrations in Relation to Crops and Soils, Feeding Demonstrations, Stock Judging, Hog-cholera Control, Blackleg Treatment, and Miscellaneous Den1onstrations in Relation to Live Stock.

(1) In eolumn 1 give the total number of demonstrations in regard to eaeh particular subject, whether a meeting was held or not, but do not list demonstrations given at miscellaneous publie meet-ings, such as institutes, short eourses, farmers' clubs, ete.

(2) In column 2 list all demonstration meetings held.

(3) In column 3 give the total attendanee at meetings listed in column 2.

(4) In eolumn 4 give a measure of the total number of units involved in the demonstration in terms of acres, tons, bushels, ete.

(5) In eolumn 5 give results of demonstrations, expressing results in terms of inereased yield in bushels, tons, dollars, aeres, etc. Indieatc the measurement used. Do not give the inerease in pereen tage.

(6) In eolmnn 6 give the total profit secured due to increase as given in column 5 after all addi-tional expenses of the method dmnonstrated, including the extra eost of harvesting and marketing, have been dedueted.

*A demonstratii.on is an effort designed to show by example the practical application of an established fact. Demonstration may be of method~ or results.
