organizations which have been Of
very great assistance are the Grange
and the Maine Department Of Agri-

The Grange has long been one Of
the strong forces in rural Kennebec.
There are Changers in every town
and most of them have a large mem
hership. good meetings und own their
halls. These halls without exception
have always been open at all times
to the Farm Bureau for meetings.

What is the Extension Service"
is the question often heard asked by

by the federal and state govern

state Agricultural Colleges that lends
free assistance TO all farmers and
rural housewives in the county
Maine las such an institution under
the direction of the College of Agri-

riculture and the State Agricultural
College or colleges benefiting by the
act.
The accompanying chart shows
the orga niZation by means of which
extension work is done in Maine.
Here the U. S. Department of Agrl-
culture. the College of Agriculture
and the County Farm Bureaus CO.
operate equally. The Farm Bureaus
are organizations located purely to
promote the extension work by
bringing the men and women of the
different communities into groups SO
that the instruction could reach
more rCrsons-thus, doing away with
individual work.
A director, DR.. Leon S. Merrill,
Dean o. the College of Agriculture,
is at the head of the organization in
, Maine. Under him are all state
agents or men and women in direct
charge Of the different branches OF
extension work in the state; Is
county agents, men in charge of all
| branches of the agricultural work in
| the counties; and Is home demon
stration agents. women in charge OF
all home economics work in the
counties
A state agent has general super
vision CT his or her particular branch
in, all counties while the county ex-
tension agents have supervision of
all branches of the work in his or
her county.
The Service does work along the
general lines of crops, orchards,
dairy, poultry, forestry, farm man
agement. clothing. foods, millinery,
household management and Boys
and Girls agricultural and home
economics clubs
The chart shows for 1923 that $50
communities were organized, that is
had local Farm Bureau in the
community, for agricultural work
while 1907 men served as different
committee members, and 1863. pro-
jects or pieces of work were adopted
in the state. The enrolment num-
bered II, IT'S men. In the home eco
nomics branch 1882 women were
enrolled during the same period.
1916 served on committees and 1905
projects were adopted. 22S COM
munities were organized for women's
work..
These local Farm Bureaus cooper
ate with the Extension Service by
arranging for all the work in their
town. Each has a local committee
