HOM Nj E DEPARTMENT
DIRECTORS IN
MEETING

Mrs. Harriet Il. Eddy, state leader
of Home Demonstration agents, gave a
most interesting talk to the county
Loard of directors Saturday afternoon,
dwelling particularly upon the plan to
reach all counties with the university
specialists.
Heretofore. the specialists have been
able to make the rounds of counties en-
gaged in the home department work
with more or less frequency, she said,
but so many counties now have agents
and four are CARRYING on work without
agent directors so that it seems i'm
possible to continue the former plan.
Project leaders are being trained by
the specialists in each county, the
agents assisting at the classes, and this
method seems to be getting desired re-
suits. 1t may even happen that the
specialists will later be obliged to con
t;ne their work to the county agents
where there are such. the latter train
;ng the project leaders for the closer
lass contact
There are not enough trained agents
:. this time to meet the demand of all
counties who are applying for them, bur
he work is extending, and some soun-
,ics have started in some of its phases
without agents, the specialists contact
ing the project leaders and they in turn
doing the best they can with the center
women.
Imperial county mas passed the expert
mental stage, having tried out many OF
tne projects, some proving worth while
md others being discarded. The county
now has fifteen centers working, hav
ng had from the start splendid leader
ship.
Miss Eddy said that the demonstra
iion work is only iustifiable when il
actually results in work in the farm
home. No projects will be started un
less as many as ten sign up to carry
| them through and put results into act
ual operation. Home nutrition work
San only be a success when both father
and mother in the home sign the cards
with the demonstration agent to carry
t on.
She made it plain that there is nc
:dea of making the project leaders re
sponsible for the work of specialists
They are simply the cogs in the wheel
which viii serve to carry the work into
, lueE lIcluS OF uSGI ulncSS. III one
eounty where there are only project
leaders and no agent, 90 meetings have
been held this season with an atten

ing. Those counties have applied fol
agents and the specialists through the
project leaders are carrying on in Ger
;ain mechanical lines until agents can
be supplied by the university.
California now has eleven agents at
work, with 1883 families being con
tacted. Utah comes next to California
with seven agents working and 1,S3J
families contacted
A full attendance of directors Were
noted at the Eddy meeting and the in
terest i'll the home work seems to be
Inabated. Project leaders of the county
lave made notable contributions il
leadership this year, working in close
harmony with Mrs. Yonge, the home
