be reflected in a marked advance in
the economic prosperity and social
status Of county and rural communi-
ties.
The governing board consists OF
five directors, inclusive OF the presi-
dent. vice-persident. secretary and
treasurer and one other. elected at
the annual December meeting. 1t is
the duty OF this board to supervise
the carrying out OF the annual pro-
gram of work decided upon at the
annual meeting; to employ the CO.
operative agents in connection with
the extension division; to supervise
their duties; to audit and approve all
expenditures made in accordance
with the budget, and to make the re-
ports required by law at the end OF
the year.
The annual program OF work is
predicated on the lines OF work re-
ported by the community centers as
most urgent and feasible. 1t Is form
ulated in writing, defining briefly the
purpose and the procedure for car
rying out each project. The number
of such projects should not exceed
FIVE. Each such project is assigned
by the president to one member OF
the board Of directors, as the county
leader thereof, and il there are five
projects he takes one himself. SINH
larly the chairman of each communi-
ty center assigns the community
leadership Of each such project II
the members of the community com
mittee. There is thus a project or.
ganization with a county leader and
community leader in each center to
assist in carrying 1t out, who will
have the assistance Of the coopera-
tive agents employed.
While the project titles may be
general, as for example, Livestock, >
Farm Improvement" Rodent Con-
tSol," Home Making" and Rural
Welfare" or any other that may be
chosen, some one or at most two
things should be definitely given as
the work under each project. For
example, under the livestock project,
it might be dairy improvement, with
special stress upon introducing more
purebred cattle, or constructing silOs.
Similarly each of the other projects
would stress some one, or at most
two, definite things to be accomplish
ed. In this connection the Obliga-
ton of the membership to support.
aid and assist in the carrying out of
THE annual program of work. while
carrying only moral obligation
within reasonable limits has ten
dency to gain the progressive ale
glance of the community to the an
nual program OF work.
The board of directors elected at
the annual meeting are chosen large
ly with view to the leadership OF
the projects in the annual program
of work. They are supposed to give
some reasonable time to 1t, not such
as to interfere with the conduct OF
their private business, but day OF
part of a day occasionally and few
hours from time to time as the Oc-
casions require.
It is recommended that the board
of directors comprise three men and
two women. The latter would be
assigned to the leadership of such
projects as "Home-Making," Rural
Welfare" etc., germane to the inter.
ests of women in the county and
communities and with special things

men to put over their part of the

To make such cooperative commun
