WORK IS OUTLINED
Statements of Secretary of Agri
culture Shows Relations of
Extension Employes to Agri-
cultural organizations-
Henry C. Wallls, secretary of agri
culture, has issued a detailed state
ment defining the relation of employes
of the federal cooperative extension
service to farm bureaus and all other
farmers' organizations, the growth of
these organizations frequently bring
ing up questions of policy which have
sometimes caused controversy.
The following paragraphs taken
from Mr. Willis' report were furnish
ed us by W. ,U. Kadderly, assistant
county agent leader for the state of
Oregon. They make good reading for
the farmers of Lincoln county especi
ally at this time due to the fact that
a new county agent, In the person of
Mr. J. R. Beck, has taken charge of
the office to BUcceed J. It. Cooter,
resigned: ,
"The act of congress approved May
8, 1914, and supplemental acts thereto,
established cooperative agricultural ex
tension work between the federal de
partment of agriculture and state agri
cultural colleges. Section 2 of that act
defines the work as follows:
"Section 2. That cooperative agri
cultural extension work shall consist
of the giving of instruction and prac
tical demonstrations in agriculture
and home economics to person not at
tending or resident in said colleges In
the several communities, and impart
ing to such persons information on
said subjects through field demonstra
tions, publications, and otherwise; and
this work shall be carried on in 'such
manner as may be mutually agreed
upon by the secretary of agriculture
and the state agricultural college or
collgees receiving the benefits of this
act." ,
'It is thus made clear that the work
of the cooperative extension employ
ees, whether county agents, home de
monstration agents, boys and girls
club agents, or other cooperative ex
' tension works, is educational. These
extension workers are public teachers
paid with money largely raised from
all of the people by taaxtion and are
charged with giving Instruction and
practical demonstrations In agriculture
and home economics. Their work
covers the entire rural field, which In
cludes economic production, economic
marketing, and the development of
better home, community and social
conditions.
"As they are public teachers It is
not a part of the official duties of ex
tension agents to perfor for Individ
