AGRICULTURAL CREDITS. 



A credit statement to be used by farmers in asking for short time 

 loans was prepared by the demonstrator and presented to the bankers 

 both by correspondence and at the district meeting of the Bankers' Associa- 

 tion. The farm management demonstrator furnishes additional copies 

 to anyone on request. 



LABOR EFFICIENCY. 



A due portion of time has been devoted to this subject both at extension 

 schools and with farmers on their own farms. The size of farm, arrange- 

 ment of fields, size of team units, and the efficient use of farm nuichinery 

 have been emphasized according to their importance for the most economic 

 use of labor. 



The policy of the dfemonstrator has been to work entirely through the 

 county agricultural agents and thej^ hayc been responsible for the work 

 done in their respective counties. 



The demonstrator presented farm management work at five of the 

 county agent conferences held during the past year and spent some time 

 in conference with individual county agents in planning the program to 

 be followed in pursuance of the project.
