LOCAL EXPENSES. 



The highest local expense for any school this year was met 

 by an assessment of ten cents per session for each member of 

 the school. 



RESULTS. 



The effects of Extension Schools on the community are diffi- 

 cult to measure, but the faCt that already requests for schools 

 for next year have been received from towns where schools 

 were held this year indicate that the people believe they are 

 of definite value. . 



Farm Demonstration Work, 



Farm Demonstration Work, the first movement of the kind in 

 this section of the United States, was begun early in the year 

 in four counties in the state, under the direction of county rep- 

 resentatives of the Extension Service. 



This service was made possible by the cooperation of the 

 General Education Board. A complete statement of the farm 

 demonstration work in 19 13 would be too extended for the 

 present report, hence very little more than a summary of the 

 service will be given at this time. 



Table. — Sho-ming Demonstration Counties and Addresses of 

 Representatives in Charge. 



It was decided it the outset that for the first year at least, 

 the demonstrations should be: Market Gardening in Cum- 

 berland County; General Farming in Kennebec County; Or- 

 charding in Oxford County; and Grain and Potato Growing in 

 Washington County. \
