448 Thirty-first Annual Report 



EXTENSION WORK 



Throughout the period covered by this report one-half of the 

 time of S. P. Clark has been given to extension work along agron- 

 omy lines. He has made many farm tours with county agents, 

 addVessed a considerable number of public meetings, distributed 

 bulletins and other publications dealing with farm crops, made per- 

 sonal visits to farms, written letters in answer to inquiries, etc. 

 In carrying out this work, visits have been made to every county 

 in the State, except one, and all county agents have been visited — 

 most of them several times. Nearly a week was spent in coopera- 

 tion with U. S. Government officials in roguing cotton which is 

 used as the basis of the pure-seed supply of the Salt River Valley. 

 Numerous timely articles dealing with farm crop subjects have 

 been furnished the public press. 



MISCELLANEOUS WORK 



In addition to the regular teaching work the members of the 

 department were called upon to handle extra classes for disabled 

 soldiers sent here by the Federal Board for Vocational Education. 



Upon urgent request Bulletin 90, "Growing Cotton in Ari- 

 zona," was written and subsequently published. 



Numerous samples of seeds were received for germination and 

 purity tests. 



By actual count, slightly in excess of 600 letters were received 

 and answered during the six months covered by this report. Manv 

 'phone inquiries were answered and numerous office consultations 

 were held. 



The department is now preparing for publication a bulletin 

 dealing with small grains, and several other papers of definite, but 

 less extensive, character.
