STATISTICAL SUMMARY OF RESULTS. 



REPORT OF EXTENSION SCHOOLS AND MISCELLANEOUS 



FARMERS' MEETINGS. 



BY KARL H. MCDONEL. 



Extension schools were held during the winter months beginning 

 November first and lasting until the first of April. At the beginning of 

 the season, a program had been carefully worked out arranging for ap- 

 proximately one hundred twenty agricultural schools and eighty home eco- 

 nomics schools, but the influenza epidemic caused this number to be de- 

 creased to fifty-eight agricultural and thirty-seven home economics 

 schools. Cancelling so many of the schools, necessitated a complete re- 

 vision of the schedule and in many cases, gave very short time to advertise 

 and make local arrangements. However, the average attendance was 

 very high. 



The courses given consisted of four lectures on any two of the following 

 subjects: 



Farm Crops. 

 Farm Management. 

 Animal Husbandry. 

 Muck Crops. 

 Soils. 



Insect Pests. 

 Farm Engineering. 



Poultry. 



Home Economics. 



Horticulture. 



Dairy Husbandry. 



Drainage. 



Marketing.
