REPORT OF EXTENSION WORK IN HOME ECONOMICS. 



BY MAY PERSON. 



There have been few changes in the personnel of this force during 

 the past year. Four specialists have been employed during the entire 

 year. During the time when the demand for help in food conservation 

 was very heavy it was necessary to have additional help, as it was again 

 during the extension schools. 



PLANS AND ORGANIZATION. 



1. Plans. 



The Home Economics Specialists have had two distinct purposes 

 in view: 



a. To be of service along technical lines to the State Leader 

 and her assistants and to the Home Demonstration Agents. 



b. To carry to the women of Michigan living in counties which 

 do not have Home Demonstration Agents, instruction and 

 help in all matters pertaining to the home. 



2. Organization. 



a. In -counties having Home Demonstration Agents the work has 

 been done under the direction of the State Leader of the Home 

 Demonstration Agents. 



b. In counties having County Agricultural Agents but no Home 

 Demonstration Agents, the work has been done, in so far as 

 possible, through the County Agricultural Agent and his organi- 

 zation. When requests came from other organizations, such 

 as women's clubs or other societies, we have made it an oppor- 

 tunity to bring the organization in touch with the County Ag- 

 ricultural Agent and the Farm Bureau. 



c. In counties having neither a County Agricultural Agent or a 

 Home Demontration Agent, we have worked through the vari- 

 ous existing organizations. 



Among the organizations with which we have worked during the 

 year are the State Food Administration, the Woman's Committee,
