and the Extension Service will be as

and the Extension Service will be as
follows:
The County Agricultural agents,
Home Demonstration agents and Club
agents comparatively employed will
be members of the Extension Ser
vice of the State Agricultural College
and under the administrative direc-
ton of the Extension Director, and
will carry on such lines of extension
work as may be mutually agreed
upon by representatives of the agri-
cultural college and the farm bureaus
or other like organizations.
Since these County extension
agents are part of public service, as
defined in the Smith-Lever Act, and
receive some part of their salary
from public funds, they are to per-
form service for the benefit of all the
farming people of the county,
whether members of the Farm Blu
reaus or not, and are to confine their
activities to such as are appropriate
for public officials to perform under
the terms of the Smith-Lever Act.
The County agents will aid the farm
ing people in a broad way with ref
erence to problems of production,
marketing and formation of farm
bureaus and other cooperative or
CARNATIONS, but will not themselves
organize farm bureaus or similar
organizations, conduct membership
campaigns, solicit memberships, re-
ceive dues, handle Farm Bureau
funds, edit and manage the Farm
Bureau publications, manage the
business of the Farm Bureau, engage
in commercial activities or take part
in, other Farm Bureau activities
which are outside their duties as ex-
tension agents.
The County agents and other ex-
tension agents will cooperate with
the Farm Bureaus or other like or
CARNATIONS interested in extension
work in the formulation of county
and community plans of cooperative
extension work. 1t will then be the
duty of the County agents, under
general direction of the Extension
Director to take charge of the carry
ing out of such plans and to CO.
Operate with officers, committees and
members of the Farm Bureaus and
with other organizations and resi-
dents of the County in the prompt
and efficient execution of these plans.
