THE PROGRAM OF WORK 23 



Programs No. 8 (a) (&) (c). These programs represent 

 another angle of program making, which has already been 

 referred to and which it is often important to give con- 

 sideration. While it is desirable in general that there 

 should be one program in the county and in the community 

 representing the joint planning of the local people and the 

 county agent with the college forces behind him, yet it 

 usually happens that there are some things which need to 

 be done in almost every county which are not a proper 

 function of the county agent and the public agencies and 

 which the local people should do for themselves. Much of 

 the actual organization work, all of the membership cam- 

 paign effort and all of the actual business transactions of 

 the farm bureau belong in this class and should be the 

 business of the local people. Hence, the desirability of a 

 separate program for the organization. 



In California, for example, there may be three different 

 programs in theory at least in the same county: (a) 

 one of the farm bureau or community center; (b) another 

 of the county agent; and a third (c) of the county farm 

 bureau organization. This latter may or may not be a 

 combination of the farm bureau center programs, although 

 usually it will be. Practically the same elements of need 

 are expressed in all these programs. Each agency, how- 

 ever, has a little different function in and facilities for 

 their solution. Three such programs, each of which have 

 some of the merits or faults already pointed out in con- 

 nections with, others, follow :
