Because of the laige area over which 

 the home work extends, it is necessary to 

 ! emphasize certain phases of the project 

 during different years. 



Clothing 



The phases of clothing instruction to be 

 emphasized this year are the construction, 

 mounting — use of the paper dress form, 

 the use and alteration of commercial pat- 

 terns, short cuts in sewing, selection of 

 materials and costume planning. 



It is hoped that this work can be car- 

 ried on in local leader training groups 

 under the supei-vision of Miss Marion L. 

 Tucker, the State Clothing Specialist. 



Nutrition 



This project is to be conducted on the 

 meal planning basis and the following 

 phases emphasized. Food requirements 

 for the family, value and results of good 

 food habits, variety of foods needed for 

 adequate diet, our need of simple meals 

 and the community meal with demonstra- 

 tion. 



This project can be worked up into 

 some of the most interesting work and it 

 is hoped that several communities will 

 adopt it for their program. 



Home Management 



The phases to be emphasized under 

 this project are: Kitchen Improvement 

 with use and care of kitchen equipment, 

 systems and schedules, household pests 

 and furniture renovation.

What is Co-operation ? 



Cooperation is the foundation stone and 

 life of the Agricultural Extension Service. 

 It is a term that has been viridely used 

 lately in many fields of work. Sometimes 

 it has been hard to define. Here is a 

 definition, sponsored by the College of 

 Agriculture of Ohio State University, 

 that has made a hit with the agricultural 

 club workers : 



Cooperation means so to conduct your- 

 self that others can work with you.
