The work of the Extension Specialist in Dairying during the past year 

 has consisted mostly in aiding in organizing and supervising cow testing- 

 associations, teaching in extension schools and attending general com- 

 munity meetings at 's\hich dairying problems and organizations were dis- 

 cussed. The work during the past year has been of a slightly broader 

 nature than in the past, due to the unprecedented groAvth of the State 

 Farm Bureau and the develoj^ment of the boys and girls' live stock club 

 work.
