work and refer projects to the project leaders to consider and 

 develop the details. County, home demonstration, and club 

 agents should be selected with reference to their ability to assist 

 in carrying out projects. 



7. The projects leaders should work with the county and home 

 demonstration agents and club leaders in outlining the details of 

 the projects. They should consider not only what should be 

 undertaken, but who will do the work, how it will be done, when 

 it will be done, and where (in which communities), it will be 

 done. In considering ichat should be undertaken they should 

 study the problems relating to the project more carefully than 

 they have previously been studied, make a list of these problems, 

 and prepare a chart showing the relation of each project to the 

 entire farm-bureau program of work. This will tend to prevent 

 duplication of effort. In considering who will do the work they 

 should make a list of the teaching forces of the county and lo- 

 cate them on an outline map of the county by communities. 

 They should also list the amount of work the extension special- 

 ists from the State agricultural college can render. In consid- 

 ering how the work will be done they should outline methods for 

 starting the work, securing demonstrators and cooperators, and 

 following up the work until definite results are obtained. In 

 considering where the work will be done they should indicate on 

 the map those communities in which the work needs to be under- 

 taken. In considering when the work will be done they should 

 prepare a project calendar placing the months and weeks of 

 the year across the top of a sheet of paper and the various parts 

 of the project down the left-hand side of the sheet, and drawing 

 lines to the right of each part of the project to indicate just 

 how much time and at what periods the agents will need to 

 spend on each part and the entire project. In planning the 

 details of a project the recommendations of the college special- 

 ists should be carefully considered. Not only local problems, but 

 also State and National problems should be carefully studied. 



8. The outline of each project, together with charts, maps, etc., 

 will be presented by the project leader to the executive commit- 

 tee for consideration. The committee and the agents employed 

 will discuss the projects and find out from the project cal- 

 endars, charts, and maps whether too much or too little work
