The new 1928 County Extension
program of work will begin this
month with the closing up of the
years work during November. The
complete annual report of the County
Agent will be given at the annual
meeting December 9th. 1t is the plan
of the Extension Committee and the
County Agent to focus more atten-
ton to a fewer number of projects
and push them little harder. Boys
and Girls Club Work will again be
a major activity this year. Extra
time will be devoted to the develop
ment Of senior project work among
members, mostly above club age. En-
rollment in junior work is larger at
this time Of the year than it has ev-
er been, indicating normal growth.
Particlar efforts will be placed dur
ing the winter months IN farmers
meetings both town and township, in
which it is the plan to cover the coun-
ty with January meeting on feeds
and feeding, which will pay particular
attention to legumes, their uses, and
value IN all livestock rations, follow
ed by q February meeting where
swine sanitation and disease problems
will be taken up-Lynn Sheldon,
