INSTRUCTIONS TO WORKERS 



All the workers are expected as a part of their work to render 

 any service to the men of the Department of Education at schools 

 or teachers' conferences, so long as it does not interfere with 

 their duties at the institutes. Cooperation is particularly desir- 

 al)le wherever men are found in charge of county bureaus, and 

 Avith district school superintendents. 



Wherever the local correspondent does not measure up to his 

 duties, endeavor toi select another better qualified. Try and 

 have such men act as agricultural representatives throughout the 

 entire year, keeping in close touch with this bureau. 



In every way push the subject of farm management and of 

 cooperation. 



Do not change the programs. The subjects are those particu- 

 larly asked for by the community. Sometimes the wording of 

 such is designed to meet this particular request and the speaker 

 can cover it with his general knowledge of the subject. 



If at anv time any of the workers find that charts or other 

 material would be helpful, this bureau would be glad to assist 

 them in providing the same. Any literature at the command 

 of this office that would help the work, will be supplied to any 

 worker on application. 



The leaders should see to it that the addresses do not exceed 

 forty-five minutes, with the possible exception of an evening 

 lecture on a broad theme. In many cases a half hour is prefer- 

 able, thus giving more time to the question box and discussions. 



Conductors will be furnished with " follow up " books, wherein 

 they will write the names of men whose farms it seems wise to 

 visit that they may be given help and instruction relative to farm 

 practices. The workers in taking such names will report them to 

 the one in charge of the meeting who will enter them on the l)ook 

 and forward carbon of all such to the director. Care should be 

 exercised in selecting only such men as seem either most in need 

 or, in the matter of experiments, capable of cooperating. Later 

 the director will designate those who will do this work. It is 

 advisable that where men receiving this help are financially able 

 they pay the traveling expenses and, where it does not interfere
