The county provides office space, secretarial help, and mileage for conducting work by the Extension Agents in the County. It is the purpose of this report to give an annual accounting of the activities of the Extension Staff here in Millard County. This report consists of a comprehensive statistical sta-tistical and narriative report which is available at the county agent's office for public study at any time. These reports are made, combining the efforts of the entire Extension Staff for the year reported, on the various project work that has been accomplished during the year. Giving Giv-ing a detailed report of the contacts, con-tacts, the success, etc., then backing back-ing up this report with a narration of the methods employed in accomplishing ac-complishing the ends attained. The Staff of Extension workers in Millard County consists of three Extension Agents, and two Stenographers. Sten-ographers. Monies appropriated by the county pay the salaries of the stenographers, the office supplies, "SERVING Volume 51 Number 26 and service, and the maintenance i of these two offices which are located lo-cated at Fillmore and Delta. It is' also used in training voluntary local lo-cal leaders, developing programs j and mileage expense of the Agent s traveling in their daily work. According to diary records kept by each of the Agent's the following follow-ing over all Extension program has been developed. In Farm and Home visits a total of 4,356 have been made during the year; 9,849 office calls have been made, and a total of 6,307 telephone calls have been recorded on problems pertinent to farm and home questions. To also aid in the dissemination of information to the local people a total of 186 news items have been published in the local papers in Delta and Fillmore. A total of 33 radio tapes have been made and played, mainly over ov-er Radio Station KSVC at Richfield and other stations in the State on timely subjects of farming and homemaking. Printed material is always a fine way for people to obtain the type of information needed on a specific spe-cific subject In this regard a total of 12,926 bulletins or pamphlets have been distributed on subjects of interest to the general public. ' V u I v fW & vL? lJ Serace THE PEOPLE OF DELTA AND THE GREAT PAHVANT Thursday, December 29, 1960 Sest "Wishes lei a t m an m Much can be said about methods of disseminated information, but an old Chinese proverb would be applicable ap-plicable in this case as much as any other that could be mentioned. A picture, or showing someone how to do it, is worth a thousand words, therefore the demonstration method meth-od has been used successfully in 32 different instances during the past year. These demonstrations would include, fertilizer use, seed variety tests, planting procedure, culling demonstration in livestock, food and clothing preparation and a host of others. Meetings conducted by agents during the past year in an effort to bring up-to-date information to the general public were held on 4S3 occasions with a total attendance attend-ance of 14,932 people. Other meetings meet-ings held, particularly those by leaders and reported as a result of Extension activity were 1.4S5, with a total attendance of 13,449. Many of thse meetings were 4-H meetings meet-ings in which 4--H boys and girls received specific instruction on project pro-ject work they signed up to do. It is significant to note, and to state that the Extension program planning is done by, and for the people. Commodity interest groups, general over-all committees sit down at the beginning of each year Delta, Utah Copy 10c 5 CJ2 n unn to review results of past activities, and to determine the course of action ac-tion for the coming year. This procedure pro-cedure is considered very democratic democrat-ic and in the best interest of all concerned. In a more general breakdown of activities it is noted here that work with adult people on projects pertaining per-taining to them occupied 66.7 of the Extension works' time, and that the other 33.3 of time was spent on 4-H and youth activities. Under youth activities we would list 142 clubs which were capably led by 168 voluntary 4-H local leaders lead-ers throughout the entire county. Members enrolled in 4-H club work during the past year were 696. 593 of these completed project work. There were a total of 1.012 projects signed up, and of these, 865 brought their projects through to successful success-ful completion. It is interesting to note that in a general way the various projects undertaken would indicate that 4-H'ers who carried crop projects did so on 65 acres of land, poultrj projects included hens. There were 476 animals included in project pro-ject work which would be: beef, swine, sheep, dairy and horses. Also of significance is the fact that S37 clothing items were made bv 4-H members and 3,154 units of llw fclf VALLEY" ' $4.00 a year in advance food (quarts) were preserved in some way or another. In adult work a breakdown would Indicate that crops and closely allied al-lied projects occupied 29 of the Agricultural Agent's time, that livestock live-stock and related projects occupied 37.4 of the Agent's time. Farm business problems, including includ-ing taxes, land purchases, buildings, build-ings, etc., occupiel 6.3: of the time. One of the worthy and newer projects undertaken by Extension service is that of Community Development De-velopment and Public Affairs, which took 3.4 of the Agent's time. Home Economics took 29.1 of the total agent's time and cooperative coopera-tive undertakings with other Governmental, Gov-ernmental, State and local agencies agen-cies took 1M of the time. In this project it has always been the activity ac-tivity of the county agent to assist in policy making to develop certain cer-tain programs in cooperation with other agencies. It is noted here that some of the more or less outstanding and significant sig-nificant events conducted during the year would be in connection with 4-H activities such as the Millard Mil-lard County Junior Livestock show held in May ep.ch year at Delta. The older 4-H Club Youth Program at Logan, conducted annually with Extension Agents and worthy 4-H MCTtJIlES Anyone who wishes a picture run in the Chronicle next week, should bring the picture to the Chronicle office early Friday, so that it can be mailed for engraving en-graving before 5 p.m. closing time at the postoffice.
