Facts presented*in the reuort show that the statement contained in the title is well founded.

Director Watkins points out that the cooperation and farm and home leadership of farm people who ser ved voluntarily On neighborhood, community, county, and state agri cultural committees was an impor tant factor in developing and fur thering the 1948 extension program. His report shows the county farm and home dmeonstration agents throughout the state had the active support and cooperation of 8.928 farm men and women as neighborhood and community leaders; 3,152 far mers and farm women on the 46 county agricultural committees; and one farm man and one farm woman from each county or 92 farm leaders, 1 on the state committee. Representa tives other state agencies serving ag riculture also served on the commit tees. That the extension workers them selves had a busy year is shown by the fact that in carrying out the 1948 program of extension work county extension workers made 117,- 417 farm and home visits to 70,494 different farms and homes; prepared 12,810 newspaper articles for publi-' cation, distributed 272,342 bulletins k and circulars and made 1,854 radio broadcasts in carrying farm and home information to farm people. These workers also conducted 7,- 558 result demonstrations showing improved farm and home practices, | and held or took part in 31,512 ed ucational and demonstration meet-! ings which were attended by 744,058 farm people. The report shows 130, i , 833 farm people came to county ex tension offices and 110,544 called by telephone for information and assis tance. Your Furniture Store Since 1911 *'‘1 •*
