Everybody cordially in- vi ted to attend and bring a well filled basket and have a good time. Refreshments will be served. Extension teaching Is defined In Section 1 of the Smith-Lever Act as an effort “to aid in the diffusing among tlie people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects relating to agriculture and home eco nomics, and to encourage tlie applica tion of the same.” it Is provided that, pending the Inauguration and develoit- uient of the co-operative extension work, nothing in the Smith-Lever Ex tension Act shall be construed as dis continuing the farmers’ co-operative demonstration work which lias already been in progress in Georgia several years. Fifty thousand dollars a year have been available from this source for some time past and this appropri ation has been wisely continued up to the present time. It is well to bear in mind that the state is expected to offset tlie above fund through local subscriptions just as definitely as the funds are available under the Smith- Lever act. This statement will, no doabt, clarify the situation for many and will explain why the counties are called on to appropriate funds to aid In defraying the salaries and expenses of both men and women county agents. Moreover, since the passage of the Smith-Lever Act, the States Relation Service has been established by Act of Congress. This office is intended to act as a clearing house between the United States Department of Ag riculture and the agricultural colleges in tbe several states. Since many bu reaus of the United States Department of Agriculture have funds at their disposal for expenditure on various projects to be conducted in associa tion with the state colleges of agri culture, the usual half and half basis adopted as a policy by Congress and the United States Department of Ag riculture, Georgia, for instance, is ex pected to offset at the present time over $85,0*0 of what may be termed indirect congressional appropriations, or see the funds withheld and used elsewhere. Since the above appropri ations are being increased from time to time, it is reasonable to suppose that the state will always be called upon to finance extension projects out of the money provided by local sub scriptions aside from those set aside by the General Assembly of the state to offset the Smith-Lever act. The work which may be properly conducted under the terms of the Smith-Lever act is definitely stated in Section 2, which reads as follows : "That co-operative agricultural exten sion work shall consist of the giving of instruction and practical demonstra tion in agriculture and home econom ics to persons not attending or resi dent in said colleges in the several communities, and imparting to such persons information on said subjects through field demonstrations, publica tions and otherwise; and this work shall bo carried on in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon by the Secretary of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges receiving the benefits of this act.” From the context of the preceding paragraph, it appears that co-operative agricultural extension work shall con sist primarily in giving instruction, and, second, practical demonstrations in agricultural and home economics to persons non-resident at the agricul tural college. Tlie teaching work pro vided for shall be made clear through field and home demonstrations, publi cations and otherwise. Correspond ence, of course, may often be con ducted to advantage, and personal con ferences be held with an individual or a group of persons. It is expected that the county agent shall be a prop erly educated and qualified expert in agriculture or home economics, and so capable of diffusing essential informa tion of benefit to all the activities re lating to the school, the farm and the home. The agent should be essential ly a teacher and must work with and through the schools, thus aiding mate rially in laying tlie proper foundation on which to build up scientific elemen tary instruction in agriculture and home economics, and so successfully correlate the activities of the school room to those of the home—a funda mental undertaking, the importance of which every thoughtful person is al ready fully convinced. The county agents should be prima rily regarded as a teacher and adviser to all of the people of the county, whether they are attending school or at work in the field or the home. He should be capable of rendering most valuable service and aid to the school teachers through the county school commissioner and the county board of education, and through the adult population through personal contact with them as they follow their voca tions in the field and in the home. Funds appropriated to aid in the main tenance of the county agents from whatever source derived would seem to constitute a just and legitimate ex penditure of public money available for education or for the promotion of any public service work performed in the interest of all of the people of the county.
