                                         Business Agent.

                                                       May 4f, 1921

     President Frank L. MoVey

          University of Kentucky

     My dear President McVey:

           -As we have not closed our books for the month of Lprij., it
     will be impossible to make a detailed financial report, 'out for
     your information I wish to submit the jolljoeing:




 









         The receipts during tlae month bf April from all sources amounted
    to $139,728.29;- this amount to '-e subplemrented by notes for $75,000,
    executed to cover over dreft ADzii I, making total depo sits for April
    $214;-728.29.  .'e expended during the month of April, from all fundS"
    $128,301.47. - This amouat includes the payment of one note for $20,000
    and leaves a differenee of receipts over expenditures for the month
    of April of $86*426.82, which, after deducting the over draft of April
    1P leaves'a balance of $16;-715.61, as at the close of April.  This,
    I believe, will be sufficient, with collections during the month of
    May. to take care of expenditure for May, until the time to take care
    of the monthly pay roll.

         As stated in Mr. Peak's letter to you oh April 22, $101,789.65
     of above receipts are froas the sale of State Uarrants, and our notes
     outstanding,. exclusive of the Peabody note; amount to $957000.

                                        Very truly yours

          University of Kentuc ky

     My dear President McoVey:

          Attached you will find a statement from the Jaokson Lumber
     Company for material delivered to den's dormitory and for work
     completed on the same.   The items as given are correct.    I
     believe that the Board should request the Jackson Lumber Company
     to give us a detailed cost sheet covering all items on the build-
     ing, as provided fcr ini the specification.  A request from the
     Board would bring this, I believe.   Without it we cannot check
     the amount paid to suboontractorst and have no way of knowing
     when all items to subcontractors have been taken oare of.

                                          Very truly yours

Dear Sir:

     I have received your lettoe of March 21, regarding th e relation
of the Farm Bureau to the United States Department of Agriculture,

     The Farm Bureau is a voluntary organization of farming people
which originally was formed to cooperate with the State Agricultural
Colleges and the United States Department of Agriculture in the
extension work carried on by county agentse  More recently, the
farm bureaus have undertaken to promote agricultural interests in a
broader way and this has been done especially through their state
federations and the American Farm Bureau Federationv

     During the war when the Government was exerting itself strongly
to stimulate agricultural production, our Department and the ATgri-
cultural Colleges were active in promoting the organization of farm
bureaus in those Northern States where the farmners were interested
in this movement,   Since the termination of the war, in view of the
fact that the Farm Bureaus were taking on broader funotions and had
their State and National Federations, the Departmeat and the colleges
have had an understanding that they would'not pertioipate in the
organization of farm bureaus.   They have, however, had the cooperation
of the farm bureaus in the extension work in the counties, and in a
considerable number of counties the farm bureaus have made contri-
butions to the salary and expenses of the county agent, and in a
number of states the farm bureaus have been recognized in State laws
as semi-official organizations through which'State or county funds
are to be used in cooperative extension work.

     The general policy of the Department in its relatibs. with the
farm bureau, through the state agricultural colleges and the counties'
is that the oounty agents who are paid any portion of their salary




 









from Federal funds, slioul.d not eagage in organizing farm bureaus
soliciting membership,. reoaivii7- dues, or otherwise handling the
funds of the farm burea-us.  Ih t.xle-: relations with the farm
bureaus the county a-gents sholid oazi-r-Ine their activities to such
extension work as is authorized under the Smi-th-never Extensiot. Act.

     With the rapid spread of both the farm bureau movement and the
extension work involving the employment of a large force of agents
in the counties whose terms of office have in many oases been very
short so that there is a constantly changing. personnel, it has
been difficult to get the agents in all oases tb understand the
proper limitations of their wcrlk and to make the farming people
with whom they are closely assooiated understand that they should,
themselves, organize and maabage the farm burea.uso  Cases are there-
fore arising from time to time in which the county agents, either
under pressure from the farmers or through a mistaken zeal, have
gone further than they ought it their relations with the farm
bureause  Wherever such oases have been definitely called to our
attention; we have tried to remedy the matters

     It is not proper for the county agents to use our franking
privilege in soliciting membcrshi.r ie the farm bureaus and if you
have evidence that this is beiag done inmany counties in your State,
we shall be glad to get this information.

                                    Yours very truly

Dear President McVey:

                   MEMOR.ANDUM OF UlDERSVTND:IN

Between the Exeoutive Cormitte" o-f the Lzmerionn Farm Bureau Federa-
tion and the States Relatio.-s Servioo, United States Department
of Agriculture,. relative to Farm Bureaus and the Extension Servicep

     Since questions have arisen regarding the relations of the
Farm Bureaus to the Cooperative Extension Service of the State Agri-
cultural Colleges and the United States Depaxr-ztent of Agriculture;
it has seemed desirable for the national organizations representing
the Farm Bureaus and the Extemsion Service to formulate and recomimend
to their State and County organizations the following general out-
line of a policy vwich may govern the relations of the Farm Bureaus
and the Extension Service in their cooperative enterprises.

                         TEE FARM BEUrEAU

     The County Farm Bureau  s a voluntary organizati on of people
engaged in farming and has for its objeot the promotion of the
economic and social interests of agriculture.   It is non-seoret,
non-partisan;, and non-'seotarian and it is its policy as an organi-
Zation not to engage In oommeroial activities.   It is open to both
men and women on equal :;erlns  While it may engage la other
activities it is greatS.y   ozes-,ed in the promotion of the oo-
operative extension work f:. agriculture and home economics organized
by the State Agrioultural. Zoa.lges and th& United States Department
of Agriculture under the Sm;tIt-TiLever Extension Aot and related
Federal and State laws.   It may, therefore,. cooperate Tnith the
Extension Service of the State Agrioultural' College and the Depart-
meat by contributing of its funds toward the maintenance of one or
more extension agents iA the county and joining in the work of the
Extension Service through its committees and otherwise under agree-
meats with the State Srxeasion Director.   The Paxm Bureau is
organized with a president$ secretary; treasurer and executive cor-
mittee who will themselves or-through other representatives of the
Farm Bureau solicit memberships, collect dues,. handle its funds and
in general manage its affairs.

                       THE EXTENSION SERVICE

      The Cooperative Extension Service of the State Agricultural
 College and the United States Department of Agriculture is organized
 as a division of the College to conduct extension work defined in the
 Smith-Lever Extension Rat as follows:

      Sec. 2 - That cooperative agricultural extension work shall ooz-
      consist of the giving of instruction and practical demonstrctions
      in agriculture and home economics to persons not attending or
      resident in said colleges is the several communities,, and impart-
      ing to such persons information on said subjects through field
      demonstrations, publiaticns, and otherwise; and this work shall
      be carried on in suon manner as may be mutually agreed upon by
      the Secretary of Ag.-iculture and the State agricultural college
      or colleges reobiviug the benefits of this acts

    This extension work wYJ.7. deal zot only with agricultural pro-
duotion but also with eouoraio prTblems. iLicludin g marketing and
cooperative associations and wi th the interests of the farm, homse
and the rural cummuaityy   The extensi.on ser-vice, including the
co'unty agent,, is as muo& interested in the marketirng,' distribution
and utilization of farm praduots as it is in produotion, and it may
properly give informatio and help ia all of these lines.

     The Extension Service in baoh State is under the administrative
management of an Zxtension Director,_ -:lo is the joint representative
of the College and the Department.   Under the director are the
Staie agents or lead.erst -tha extension specialists and the county
agricultural agents, home demoastration agents and olub agents or
leaders.   The extension directors are authorized to enter into
cooperative agreements with co-'nty olficials and farm bureaus
or like organizations with rhferenoc to finano a'. support for the
maintenance of ext'nsion vror-k ia the county and the plans for the
use of the cooperative funds in the extension work uvithin the county.

                     BASIS W COOPMMATION

     The general basis of soce era-',ion between the county farm bureau
and the cxtensIoA Service vril_ be as follows:

     The Courty kgricultura:. Agents' Rome Demonstration Agents and
Club Aggerts cooperaviy v     plloyed w1 be members of the extension
serviae of the Sta-be Igricultural College and under the administrative
direotion of the Extension Director,' and will oarry on suoh lines of
extension work as may be mutually agreed upon by representatives
of the agricultural college and the tarm bureaus or other like organi-
zations.

     Since these county ex' nnsion agents are part of a public service
as defined in the Smith-]Lever Aot;, and reoeive some part of their
salary from public fuidstQ they are to perform servioe for the benefit
of all the farming people of the county whether members of the foarm
bureaus or not, and are to confine their activities to such as are
appropriate for public officials to perform under the terms of the
Smith-Lever Act.   The oounty agents will aid the fairming people in
a broad way with reference to problems of produotion, marketing and
foi-mation of farm bureaus a.;l other croperv.tive organiza tiots" but will
not themselves organize farm bureaus or similar organiz6.tions, conduct
membership campagars.. solicit mcmbershipz, reoeive dues,' hindle farm
bureau funds,, edit azd maaage the Parm Bureau publioations,' mrnage the
business of the farm bureau, engage ir oommercial activiiles or take
part in other farm bureau activities which are outside their duties
9,s extension agents.




 











    The county agents and o'..;ber extension agents will cooperate
with the Farm Bureaus or o:,her lI-.e organizations interiested in
extension -vork in the fozmu..atioh o:: c ouurty aud. community plans
of cooperative extension werc,   ItQ wi 1 then be the duty of the
county agents under general direction of the Zxtension Director
to take charge of the oarrying out of such plans and to cooperate
with officers, committees a.-d members of the farm buretus and with
other organizations ond residents of the county in the prompt and
e-4 ficient execution of these plans.

                           TEMMOLOGY

     In order to do away as far as possible with the confusion now
existing in the public xnind regarding the organization and vork
of the Tarm Bureaus as relna`ef. to thte county agents and the Extension
Service generally, it is roeornne'ded that hereafter in publications
and otheri se the cooptrative e:tcisioli service shall be differentiated
from the farm bureau work.   That is, the farm bureau will have its
relations w:ith the extensioa service (consisting of the county agents,.
extension comuittees, demor-strations, eto.) as one of its departments.
Other departments might be a publicity department vwhich would prepare
arid publish a pea-iodical (Fam Bureau News), press articles and
notices,. announcements of meelrings1 etc., department of relations
with marketing and other cooocrative associations- etc.

     The work which oez-teis in the county agents would be designated
as the Cooperative Extension Service and the miscellaneous enter-
prises of the Farm Bureau as Farm Bureau u'ork.

                     FARM BIF.EAU FM)MATION

     The County Parn BDuAeaus have their- State and National (American)
Farm Bureau Federations.. whi..-h are working on economic and legislat ive
matters and are also prcmot+iig the extension service and agricultural
education and research.   These Federations are, however, not directly
connected with the Ei:tension Service and do not enter into cooperative
agreements with the State Coleges and the Department of Agriculture
involving the use of Federation fuuids and the employment of extension
agents, and the college  cd the Department are not responsible for
the activities of the ]Parni 3ureau Federations.  There is, however,-
much advisory colinatatior. bet;ween representatives of the "arm Bureau
federations and offioers of thhe College and the Department with
reference to plaas for advancing the agricultural interests of the
States and the Natiow.,
