During 1921-22 the total expenditures for extension work 

 amounted to slightly over $18,000,000. The money has been used, 

 apparently, to better advantage during the past year than in pre- 

 vious years in that the number of county workers is increasing, and 

 the supervising force is being gradually diminished, with the result 

 that there is a larger niunber of agents having direct contact with 

 the farming people. 



The total staif on the pay roll of the office on June 30, 1922 and 

 1923, for county agricultural agent work, home demonstration agent 

 work, and boys' and girls' club work was as follows :

In addition to the above the land-grant colleges with which this 

 office is cooperating employed approximately 750 extension special- 

 ists dealing with various phases of agriculture and home making. 



During the calendar year 1922 there were 885,000 demonstrations 

 by farmers or members of their families, due to the influence of the 

 :ounty agricultural agent, the home demonstration agent, the boys' 

 and girls' club leaders, or the subject-matter specialist. Of this 

 number the county agricultural agents were responsible for 276,- 

 500, and of the remainder 358,000 were conducted by club members. 

 Without making any allowance for duplication, 3,800,000 farmers 

 or members of their families adopted new or improved methods 

 of farming and home making as a result of these activities and those 

 of previous years, the work of county agents being responsible for 

 changes in practice in 2,540,000 of these cases.
