Program No. 3. Here we have a program that is com- 

 prehensive, touches nearly all the important farming in- 

 terests of the county and which should meet their needs. 

 But it fails to emphasize any of its many items as more 

 important than others, and so has no high points of inter- 

 est. Nor is it definite in all its statements. Goals are not 

 specified and leadership is not indicated. The program 

 has, however, the elements of permanency in it. Good 

 arrangement, as far as it goes, is made of the items so that 

 the program is well organized. The membership work of 

 the farm bureau is mixed up with the joint program with 

 the college, which the county agent is expected to carry 

 out, and these functions are not differentiated. Women's 

 interests, except as they are in common with the men's, are 

 provided for in a separate program.
