1, Organization of Extension Work in the Counties: 



1922 has seen no radical changes in the plan of organization used in 

 carrjing on Agricultural Extension Work within the coiinties of Michi- 

 gan. However, the extreme economic condition as felt by farmers of, 

 the state makes it difficult in many instances for farmers to support 

 extension work through Farm Bureau memberships. As a result there 

 appears to be a growing tendency toward public appropriations. The 

 State office has encouraged this tendency on the grounds that the work 

 is for public benefit and, therefore, should be supported largely from 

 public appropriation. 



Each County Agent is required to submit a County program of work. 

 The form of this program, as suggested by the State office, was simple 

 and direct, the plan being to get a general idea of the most pronounced 

 Agricultural problems as seen from the various counties, to get local 

 ideas as to their solution, to find out what progress the County Agents 

 hoped to make towards the solution of these problems and to get an 

 estimate of the percentage of the Agents' time or attention which each 

 project would receive. These programs of work were formulated by the 

 County Agent in council with his Farm Bureau Executive Committee 

 and with representatives of other co-operating bodies in some instances. 

 Where possible, supervisors from the vState office sat in and advised 

 concerning these programs of Avork, while they were in the making.
