The county program, as adopted by most of the County Agents in 

 Michigan, only includes those projects which deal with commonly recog- 

 nized agricultural problems of the county. In many instances a cam- 

 paign method was employed in carrying out these programs. The plan 

 and results of this method of doing extension work is reported by 

 specialists in charge of extension work in this state. County Agents 

 are quite generally of the opinion that this method of doing extension 

 work has been highly satisfactory. The results attained will bear out 

 their contention. It has been found that through this system of doing 

 extension work, for example, the dairy and alfalfa work has received a 

 great deal of impetus, which has not been supplied entirely by either the 

 county agent or specialist in charge of the work. The fact that hun- 

 dreds of farmers are caused to discuss one common subject at one 

 particular season, brings results that a less concerted effort could not 

 hope to accomplish. A typical county program is given below :
