The growth Of the work has in
Icreased this year, which has been due

Home Demonstration Work.
During the year, 1922, Is meetings
were held on the health project with
an average attendance of seventeen.
Eight of these meetings were conduct
ed by the home demonstration agent
and seven by local leaders. Two com
munities carried on 'the work as a
course of study, the other community
having one meeting only. This course
has been thoroughly instructive so
that the women in our county might
be more efficient in sickness and ac-
cident, So no results have been
checked up with the exception that
two dollars per person was saved by
having the home nursing course come
from this department Of the farm bu-
reau
During the year. sixteen meetings
have been held on the home improve
ment project Sixteen have been at
tended by the home demonstration
agent. two Of which have been con
Quoted by specialists from the college
The average attendance has been l3
and a fraction. AS in other projects
this one has Been carried out as
coitse of study with eight communi-
ties adopting it for their program.
The other five communities were
reached by this project with one meet |

cal leaders show: Fourteen freless
cookers, made with saving of SIS

% six cents per dozen, or total of SIS.
The above report on the home inn

AVE resulted from these meetings. Re
ults on the project of this kind ex-
end through a period of years and,
therefore,. satisfactory data cannot be
'btained through our local leaders in
o short a time.
