At succeeding meetings of the executive committee arrange- 

 ments should be made for suitable office quarters and equipment, 

 and cooperatively employed agents, such as a county agent, a 

 home-demonstration agent, a boys' a"nd girls' club leader, etc., 

 representing the organization, the State agricultural college, 

 and the United States Department of Agriculture should be 

 engaged. Following the arrival of one or more of these agents 

 in the county, the committee should formulate a definite program 

 of work and arrangements should be perfected for the holding 

 of community committee meetings for the purpose of formulat- 

 ing community programs of work. As fast as suitable com- 

 munity project leaders can be found, they should be appointed 

 in writing by the president with the approval of the executive 

 committee. 



ORGANIZATION AND MEETINGS OP PERMANENT COMMUNITY

At the first meeting of the prospective community committee 

 in each community a community map should be made on which 

 will be located the community center, schoolhouses, churches, 

 farmers' organizations, roads, farm-bureau committeemen, and 

 members. Community problems should be studied and a com- 

 munity program of work planned to solve these problems. 

 Definite plans for winter and summer meetings should be made 

 at this time or at a succeeding meeting of the committee. Charts 

 showing the relationship the organization sustains to the State 

 agricultural college and the United States Department of Agri- 

 culture and charts showing the organization of the farm-bureau 

 should be prepared. Reasons for membership in the organiza- 

 tion should be considered and plans made for increasing it. 

 (See Circular 3, Office of Extension Work North and West,

Chairmen of project committees should call meetings as needed 

 to discuss matters relating to their projects, to make plans, etc.
