Extension Work Grows.

More than three times the number
of extension workers as compared
with year ago is one of the signif1
can't features Of Extension Director
Fluharty's report submitted TO the
state board OF education. This in.
crease, of course, was made necessary
by the call of the federal government
for many kinds of information and
for close contact with the people on
their farms and in their houses

reason for growth of extension work
is the active demand of the people of
Idaho for this service.

bered ID. The number today is 35.

demonstration agents. There are

becomes, as never before. as broad as
the states entire area.
Thirty one counties are now sup
porting county agents. Three more

county agents by January !, 1919.
There are assistant county agents
The Club Leaders, now numbering
81, are employed for the most part
during the summer months only.
Squirrels and other pests have been
destroyed through cooperative plans

Poison was the principal means oil
extermination. There was distrib
uted TO the farmers of these Il coun-
lies more than $4,000 worth OF
strychnine. This was purchased by
the farmers through the extension
division of the University at cost
approximately so per cent of thai
