The States Relations Service represents the Departmentf
culture in the adiniqAizibn and general supervision of allits.
active extenisi6ni otk:k'ia agriculture and home econofmies.
involves relations with the State agricultural colleges and the di
bureaus of the department. Before any work requiring the exp
ture of the cooperative agricultural extension funds is udert
a State the act requires that the plans for work shall have t1fnj"
proval of the Secretary of Agriculture. The director of ex
of the college must submit detailed projects covering each Jie~,i
extension work, with proposed allotment of funds for ea i:a,
approval by the department. After approval of the projeets
State is certified by the department to the United States Tfe
as entitled to receive its funds.
In addition to the funds provided by the cooperative agridt1
extension act, Congress makes direct appropriations to the D
ment of Agriculture for certain extension activities, the most'
tant of which are farmers' cooperative demonstration work (mi
the county-agent work, home-demonstration work, boys' and
club work, and farm-management demonstrations), ca
through the States Relations Service, and the several lines of e
sion work carried on by the Bureau of Plant Industry, Bu 04
Animal Industry, the Bureau of Markets, and the Ofljce of
Management. The farmers' cooperative demonstration w0ork
other extension work of the States Relations Service is adinins
through the Office of Extension Work in the South for the Sou
States, and the Office of Extension Work in the North and W tB-i
the Northern and Western States. The Bureau of Animal In.du.
is conducting extension work in dairying,' animal husbandry, :
cholera prevention, boys' pig clubs, and boys' and girs' po*.
dubs. The Bureau of Markets is carrying on extension workA
marketing and the organization of farname to assist in the soltia
of various marketing problems. The Bueau of Plant Indust i
carryig on extension work in relation to plant diseases and dise$
resisting strains of plants. The Bureau of Soils, Forest in

Beads and Rural Engineering, and the Office of Farm Management
are also cooperating with the States in carrying to the people the
discoveries made in connection with their investigational work.
ORGANIZATION IN THE STATES.
The organization established in most State agricultural colleges
consists of an extension division, at the head of which is a director
who is in charge of all cooperative agricultural extension work in the
State. Under this director there generally are men in charge of various
lines of work. In some States a State leader has charge of county-
agent work and boys' and girls' club work, the agents in charge of club
work being subordinate to him; in other States there is a separate
State leader for the club work. The number of officers assisting the
director varies with the size of the State and the development of
extension activities. In addition to the supervising agents specialists
are engaged in conducting extension schools and in other ways coop-
erating with the county agents in the instruction of farmers and their
families.
MONEY AVAILABLE UNDER THE COOPERATIVE AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION ACT.
The cooperative agricultural extension act provided that each State
should receive $10,000 annually for cooperative extension work in
agriculture and home economics, making a total of $480,000 per
annum, beginning with the fiscal year 1914-15. For the fiscal year
1915-16 it provided for $600,000 additional to be distributed among
the several States in the proportion that the rural population of each
State bears to the total population of all the States, as determined
by the last census. This amount is to be increased by $500,000 each
year until the fiscal year 1922-23, when the total amount reaches
$4,580,000. This additional appropriation does not become available
to a State until an equal amount has been appropriated by the
legislature of that State or provided by State, county, college, local,
or individual contributions from within the State. The aggregate
sums thus required to be provided by the States will be $4,100,000
for the fiscal year 1922-23, and annually thereafter.
The table following indicates the amounts the individual States
will receive from the Federal appropriation under the cooperative
agricultural extension act, provided the terms of the act are com-
plied with.

was provided by direct State appropriations, $68,000 by county

appropriations, $38,000 from funds under the direct control of the

colleges, $22,000 from local sources, and $12,000 from miscellaneous

sources. The $1,100,000 required for 1916-17 was obtained from the

following sources: $904,000 from State appropriations, $84,000 from

county appropriations, $64,000 from college appropriations, and

$48,000 from local contributions. In 1917-18 the States have con-

tributed $1,241,000, the counties 203,000, the colleges $83,000, and

the local organizations $72,000. Although the amounts received

from funds other than those directly appropriated by the States

have increased, their relative importance has remained practically

the same. The following table indicates the sources of offset in

the individual States:

In 1914-15 the Smith-Lever funds comprised 13 per cent of the
total- funds available for cooperative agricultural extension work.
In 1917-18 the percentage had increased to nearly 50. In 1917-18
the funds contributed by the counties and other local organizations
comprised one-fourth of the total.
If the funds contributed to the State Smith-Lever offset by the
States, counties, and other authorities within the State are combined
with State, county, and other funds not used as offset, they exceed
one-half of the total funds for extension work. In other words, the
funds contributed within the State exceed the funds contributed by
the Federal Government at the present time.

ALLOTMENT AND EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS, BY PROJECTS.

The project now receiving the largest amount of the cooperative
agricultural extension funds is the county-agent project. In 1914-15
the total amount spent on this project was approximately $1,925,000.
iy 1917-18 the amount had increased so that it exceeded $3,825,000,
r an. increase of nearly 100 per cent during the four-year period,
1914-15 to 1917-18.

The next most important line of work, as far as allotment of f~nd
is concerned, is the work for farm women, the allotment for whid
increased from $320,000 in 1914-15 to approximately $780,000 :
1917-18, an increase of nearly 200 per cent during the same peri
The next in importance is the boys' and girls' club work. Durif
the four-year period this had increased from $170,000 to $475,00
In the Southern States the girls' clubs are included with the ho4
economics project, and the boys' club work does not include the
and poultry clubs. The amount used in this work exceeded $45,
In the Northern and Western States the girls' clubs are inlt
under the boys' and girls' clubs project. The projects, in addition?4
those named above, in which over $200,000 were spent, were admra4
tration and dairying. Those in which over $100,000 were spent

p publications, extension schools, animal husbandry, agronomy, horti-
culture, agricultural engineering, and farm management. There are
certain items in Table V, which should be carefully interpreted.
For example, the work undertaken on the projects for extension
schools and miscellaneous projects would seem to have decreased.
The decrease is due primarily to the assignment of the specialists to
'i individual projects rather than putting the different lines of their
work together in miscellaneous projects. The decrease in the funds
for extension schools is due to a similar cause-the specialists partici-
pating in extension-school work are having a larger proportion of
their expenses charged to subject-matter projects than formerly.
Table V, pages 14 to 21, indicates the allotment of funds from all
sources to the different types of extension work by States.

crop depended entirely upon the needs of the community. t
account was kept and a report made at the end of the season..
agents were required to arrange for as many demonstratia p

generally by greatly increasing the number of examples or
stations of better methods of farming. The scope of the htaimWl
tions was enlarged to include all of the standard farm crops,. "
pastures, and in later years the breeding, raising, and feeding :of
stock.
Meetings were held at the demonstration plats for the plrpan
giving information to a large number of farmers. At these i
the agent would go over the farm with those assembled,
operations informally, and invite questions. The farmer sewM
value of the better methods and gradually applied them to tb
farm. Demonstrations varied in size and character, dpndi
the problem to be met. The results of hundreds of these din j
tions in a county gave the farmers confidence in the ability
agent, and thus grew up a great variety of work on the part 4i
county agent in giving general instruction and advice to faiu
where he was unable to visit their farms regularly.,
It was noted a number of years ago that where the county a
could secure the cooperation of aa organized body of farmers
community in conducting demonstrations and giving information
work became more effective. Out of this experience has dev.
a systematic effort on the part of the county agent to work tI
organized bodies of farmers and to create orgaizatiom-S in comn
ties where there are none.
Prior to 1912 practically all of the extension work of the dep
ment of this character was carried on in the 15 Southern Stu
This branch of the work is growing steadily.' In that year $165)
was made available to extend the work into the Northern and West
States, and the work in those States was placed under the supervu
of the Office of Farm Management. The work in the North I
grown rapidly and now has more than trebled its original FM
appropriation: Out of the work in the South and the North::I

ww a large field of activity now generally known as county-agent
k or demonstration work through county agents. On -July 1,

p7a, 1,474 men county agents were employed in the United States.
T:. he county agents are employed cooperatively by the county, the

SState agricultural college, and the United States Department of
iAriculture, assisted in some cases by other cooperating parties.

The: extent to which the county agent comes in contact with the
itrmers in his community is indicated by Table VI.

It is recognized by all engaged in the work that the cot
-should be a man of practical experience in farming and ..
sonality as to enable him to become a leader among the f,.
his county. He must also have such agricultural ed
technical training as fit him for this important duty. Othei
being equal, preference is given to graduates of agricultural'
who have the proper personality and practical experience,.:, .i::
It will be seen that one of the duties of the county agent is0
to the farmers of his county on their own farms the resultso4:
tific investigations in agriculture and the experience of'a(M
farmers, and through demonstrations to influence the farnra .
these into practice. In his organization work, as explain:e4
he assists in reorganizing and redirecting the agriculture of t
munity, and assists all economic and social forces working ':
improvement of agriculture and country life. He gives in.tre.
not only in those subjects which are generally recognized u4ifr
head of improved agricultural practices, but also in farm mau
ment, marketing, and purchasing supplies. In all of thisji aW
conducts a large number of demonstrations and gives ui1
valuable information. He works, as far as possible, with eq
organizations, such as granges, farmers' unions, alliances, org
farmers' institutes, community clubs, etc., but may also aid in t
new organizations especially suited to support his work.-
South great emphasis is laid upon community organizations of:l
ers. These are increasing rapidly and involve both the work dl
men and that among women. The tendency 'and general |

In some of the Northern and Western States county orga

BOYS' AND GIRLS' CLUB WORK.

..Extension work among young people usually has been conducted
Through clubs organized for that purpose.
i" .Boys' corn clubs and other agricultural clubs have been in existence
for over 10 years. The department, in cooperation with the State
.. agricultural colleges, has done much to popularize this demonstration
i 7 work and make it effective through acre contests in corn growing.
S Boys and girls between the ages of 10 and .18 are admitted to these
S clubs, the work being conducted very largely in cooperation with
school officials and teachers in the rural communities. These clubs
a re supervised by State agents or assistants located at the agricul-
tural colleges, who represent both the college and the department.
: They are assisted by county agents, who aid in the organization and
S maintenance. of the work, and by club specialists from the States
SRelations Service and the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United
StCates Department of Agriculture.
S By far the most widespread and numerous organizations of this
haracter. are the boys' corn clubs. The members enter into con-
ptetition in corn growing on an acre of ground, on their fathers' farms,
ais.a rule. Prizes are provided and the basis of award is the largest
ipiod tion at the lowest boost, with best exhibit of 10 ears and best
f auIy on. their year's work. Definite instructions in preparation of
li :.:::soil; planting, cultivation, etc., are given to the members. They

Boys' pig clubs have been organized tn stimulate interest

value of the best breeds,. anc the hemel production of meat
family. This work supplements ths boys' oern clubs by
the boys that it is profitable to- sell crops by feeding theat
stock. Members of the clubs, are taught also the -ouring of.
at home, the judging of hopg,, and their selhbtion fon bre
marketing purposes. Consideration is given to management;
ing, sanitation, and to the prevention of diseases of swine1.
hog cholera. Prizes are awarded on the basis of excellence ...
fed for purpose intended, gain in weight, cost of pduc i
record of feeding and care. Prizes are offered for animals r
breeding purposes and for slaughtering, and for the best brood:i:::
with litter.
The objects of the boys' and girls' poultry clubs are to teach
poultry raising, handling, and marketing; the value of .aiih
product of high class for cooperative marketing, better earem ot f .@
try and eggs, and the increased revenue derived from. better:b
and management. Members of the olubs raise a certain nmb
fowls, keep accurate~ account, make e hiits at the fairs, asnd w
a composition on some phase of their work.
Girls' clubs have been formed to teach gardening and caiaCg
vegetables and fruits for home and market and thua p rote. ..
utilization of the surplus and waste products of the farmi and. gad
to teach profitable farm poultry raising; to provide a means fo'IR
to earn money at home; to pave the way for practical! daoatrti
in home economics and:. stimulate cooperation. am ong- R Wi
the family and in the community; and. to, furnish teachers a p lM
correlating home work with school work.
This work was first begun with the canning club. Girls fis'o
to 18 years of age are enrolled to plant anu& cultivate a gardAmof
tenth of an acre. The most important. part of th training,
ever, is the canning of products of the garden;,I homai ank mar~i

HOME ECONOMICS EXTENSION WORK.
SAll of the extension work described in this circular is conducted
bi i the interest of all the people on the farm. However, it is as
Important to provide special extension work for women and girls on
the farm as it is for men. This special work is now being developed
according to the same general plan as the extension work in agri-
culture.
Out of the girls' canning-club work in the South has grown the
employment of women county agents, or home-demonstration agents.
SWhen sufficient funds are provided, a well-trained woman is employed
to give instruction in home economics to farmers' wives and daugh-
Sters throughout the county. The woman agent organizes clubs of
Women and girls, gives them instruction, conducts demonstrations,
Sad superintends the putting of the lessons into practice in the
homes. Women agents now are being appointed in some of the coun-
ties in the North and West. On July 1, 1917, there were 537 counties
!with women agents in the United States; 24 were in the Northern
. States.
Tn home economics, as in agriculture, there are in addition to the
county agents or leaders specialists who conduct extension schools,
general neighborhood meetings, conferences, etc., and assist the
A: women county agents. Among the problems now being taken up
e children's welfare, selection, preservation, and preparation of
food, canning of fruit and vegetables on the farm, the selection and
protection of water supply, sewage disposal, house ventilation, house-
Shold equipment and management, use of labor-saving devices and
mi hiaery, control of insects and other pests, etc.
The number of women agents employed July 1, 1914, 1915, 1916,
and 1917 is shown in the table following.

FARM-MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATIONS.


A farm-management demonstration aims to teach a farmer
tical method of summarizing and analyzing his farm bsin ....
means of determining the profit or loss incurred in cond
and of deciding upon modifications which promise to increase ti
income of the farm. These demonstrations are conducted i:t
cases by county agents, with the assistance of a farm-
demonstrator, who is cooperatively employed by the college a
United States Department of Agriculture. On July 1, 191L4I
work was in progress in 300 counties in 27 of the Northern and 1
ern States.
EXTENSION WORK THROUGH SPECIALISTS.
!!.. '-;::.lip

Both at the State agricultural college and in the Dep
Agriculture are specialists in various branches of agriculture and
economics who aid county agents in their work, and also give Fi
instruction to farmers in counties where there are no county
A specialist is generally an extension agent who has a very tho
knowledge of some particular line of work and who is oici
presenting his subject to the county agents and the farmers.
may be differentiated from the county agent in that the o
agent has to cover in a more or less thorough way the entire
agriculture, whereas the speialst's field of work is.ger
to a narrow field, such as dairying, horticulture, poultry, et&i.:
The principal lines of extension work of this character
duted in the Department of Agriculture are hog-cholim .r

J.d- poultry clubs, dairying, and animal husbandry, through the
Bureau of Animal Industry. All of this work is conducted in coop-
efation with the agricultural colleges in the several States under
project agreements mutually entered into as a part of the general
system of cooperation under the general memorandum of under-
l standing between the Secretary of Agriculture and the colleges of
. agricult ure.
In- hog-cholera work veterinary field agents have been appointed
:to cooperate with county agents and demonstrate to them and to
Local veterinarians and farmers the prevention of loss from hog
:; cholera and of the spread of the disease from herd to herd by the
: use of the serum treatment and proper quarantine and sanitation of
Premises.
S In the dairy-extension work specialists are appointed to conduct
Work in the various States through county agents and otherwise by
. organizing cow-testing associations, bull associations, teaching the
7 keeping of herd records, planning the construction of silos, the remod-
Le: sling of dairy barns, milk houses, and other dairy buildings, estab-
Slishing feeding demonstrations, management of herds, and othei
special dairy-farm problems.
: In soils, forestry, plant pathology, marketing and rural organiza-
::tion, etc., -specialists are also employed to carry on extension work.
EXTENSION SCHOOLS.
I. .Short, practical courses of instruction, accompanied by demon-
.I rationsn, illustrated lectures, and exhibits, organized and conducted
Sby specialists attached to the agricultural colleges, are given in
different localities. The local arrangements are often made by the
: county agents, and these schools usually are planned to assist the
county agent in the development of extension projects undertaken
SInf the county. The schools commonly occupy one week, but in some
cases s a somewhat shorter or longer period.
EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION WORK.
: In addition to the fund provided above for the regular cooperative
agricultural extension work, Congress passed the food production
set, which includes an item of $4,348,400 for increasing food pro-
Aduction, eliminating waste, and promoting conservation of food, by
:!ieducational and demonstrational methods through counties, districts,
io and urban agents, and others. Under the provision of this act
aier 1,600 emergency demonstration agents have been employed,
i.d for the first time agents have been designated to take up work
the larger urban centers.
fThe following tables show the number of persons connected with

and the home-demonstration agents conduct the girls' club work.

HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE EXTENSION SERVICE.

If the farmer or members of his family desire the cooperation of the
Itate agricultural college in solving any of the farm or home problems,
application should first be made to the county agent, if there is one; if
there is no county agent, then to the director of extension at the State
agricultural college to get in touch with the extension organization in
order that the services which this organization is prepared to give may
be secured.
