1 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXTENSION DIRECTOR      
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1939.      
` Prepared by T. R. BRYANT, Assistant Director      
Development of leadership among farm people has always been i i  
emphasized by the Extension Service and the wisdom of that policy   gz  
becomes more apparent each year. Leaders trained thru extension    
i activities have been drafted in large numbers to carry specihc as-   in  
signments in connection with enterprises of comparatively recent    
origin. An accurate recital of activities under the Agricultural Ad-   ··,`  
justment Administration, the Rural Electrihcation development    
and others, would make it clear that their accomplishments were j  
made possible by the efficient work of leaders trained in the ex-  
tension school of experience.  
. The Extension Service has developed ideas and enterprises in  
great variety but the proposals have been placed before farm people  
for consideration and they have adopted, modified or rejected them  
H5 they saw ht. Plans to be subjected to scrutiny must be carefully  
made, and recommendations must be based upon sound premises.  
This has been kept in mind and the record of success of extension   i._'  
enterprises gives reason for a degree of pride. The rapid increase  
ih the use of disease-resistant strains of Burley tobacco, the mul-  
tiplying acreage of Korean lespedeza, the liberal use of limestone  
Bhd phosphate and many other such evidences of the CODHCICHCC of  
fftrtn people in the recommendations of the Extension Service are  
excellent testimony.  
The attitude and activities of farm women have evidenced a  
high degree of confidence in and reliance upon the extension pro-  
stahl. Attendance upon the annual meeting of a county home-  
lhdlsersi association to hear a recital of their accomplishments dttr-  
ing the year, provides convincing evidence of their elitliltsiaslll Zthd  
ithility to make farm homes and comnumities better places for the  
(l*‘\'ClOpment of good citizenship, Homes are improved and l>t‘2tt1ii·

  Twenty-four counties where county workers have been em-     l
  ployed for 25 years or more held anniversary celebrations, These    
  events focused attention on the work accomplished by the Exten- -   `  
  sion Service in those counties.   . g  
  In addition to program planning, the supervisors assisted the    99  
  Land Use specialist and the county agents with Land Use work   ·i
  in the intensive Land Use Program. Four counties, Garrard, Grant, l an  
  Hopkins and Pike, were selected in which the county planning   "
  project is being carried with the help ol a special worker and under   9 9T n  
gp the direction of a state leader, in the hope that results obtained 9    
  from this year’s study will prove valuable in program building in   js _y_._    
  the future.   if J];  
  The actual planning of county programs is done by voluntary    
;_ eommitteemen or local leaders who are chosen by their neighbors  
° to represent different sections of the county or community as well  
9 as different lines of work or enterprises, and the planning is done  
is on either a community or commodity basis. A total of 867 com-  
’ munity programs and 235 commodity programs were built, 22  
i  counties using both programs.  
  A re-emphasis was put on demonstrations, particularly result  
9 demonstrations, and agents were assisted in preparing outlines for  
  recording progress and results from this type ol work. Every op-  
i portunity is used to help agents to train volunteer local leaders.  
“ The number of adult training meetings increased from 2,118 in  
, 1938 to 2,409 in 1939.  
` The projects most generally engaged in were those that had to  
do with the use of soil amendments, with pasture improvement and  
With livestock development, particularly beef cattle and sheep. The  
  Ulension teaching of many years, aided hy payments 019 the Agri-  
{ (`Ullll1`Ell Conservation Program made larger development of the  
  Soil-building program possible.  
Much of the credit for the success of the .»\gricultural (Jonserva—    
lien program in Kentucky must be given the Extension Service.

L each crop acre in the county. l)uring 1939, 219 Bourbon County the.
 ‘ larmers used 15,195 tons ol ground limestone. '1`he county agent I
 , estimated that at least 95 percent o1` the 1`armers in Bourbon by I]

  The State is divided into three supervisory areas with ~1() conn   _ i-  
  ties in each area or district, each served by a supervisory staff mem- j    
  ber. An effort is being made to add more counties in the more   ii; P  
  sparsely organized mountain district, but the difficulty lies in lack   A  
  of funds in these counties. In no part of the State is the need for i   ~ i
  the home demonstration program greater.  
  Program planning is based on needs of local people as expressed i i  
  by themselves. Over a period of years methods have been developed Y V ;_  
  to enlist maximunr participation of farm people in point of both    
  tjuality of work and volume. Discussion has been encouraged and    
  factual information has been compiled for study. Surveys have been l     j
  made as an aid in building sounder programs. The supervisory fil" 
  staff did effective work in helping to develop these procedures and   l I':  
  in helping homemakers more effectively to analyze their situation i   .‘_’. fil
  and set up programs best adapted to their needs. ij  
’  The homemakers’ organization, by delegation of responsibility,  
  was effective in developing local leadership. Six thousand, four  
  hundred homemakers, or about 415 percent of the membership,  
·  served as local leaders. Among these were officers of ll()1llClll2lliL‘l`S'    
Q} clubs and project leaders of major, minor and special projects.  
ii-i 'fraining schools for officers and project leaders of the major county  
  hotnemaking project are held annually by the supervisory staff.  
  About six times a year the specialist in charge of the project is  
  present to assist. Leaders of minor and special projects are helped  
, by the specialists concerned as the need arises. '1`hese are not lead-  
  ers in name only, but leaders with work to be done, assuming their  
ii responsibility, attending training schools and taking the informa-  
  lion to their community groups. Leaders served in many capacities,  
  giving demonstrations, dispensing literature, supervising result  
  tletnonstrations, making surveys, keeping 1`et`<>l`tlS, p,`2lll1Cl`i1lg iliiliis  
  making reports, helping non-club members. l·`rom this service lead-
