 . ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXTENSION DIRECTOR
, j FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 3I, I954
E By T. R. Bryant, Associate Director .
l Greater service to the people of Kentucky was accomplished in
1954 by the Cooperative Extension work in agriculture and home eco-
E nomics than in any previous year. This was because of two principal
- ` reasons: increased contacts and demands and moderate increases in
, r  funds.
g For the third successive year, drouth plagued part or all of the
f state. Yields of crops in many sections were seriously reduced and
prices of farm products did not improve, the net result being a grow-
. ing realization that efficiency in production and management are
_ essential to survival. In such circumstances increasing numbers of
farm people turn for advice and information to the Cooperative Ex-
_ tension service in Agriculture and Home Economics, with its resources
of research in the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station, the
_ f U. S. Department of Agriculture, and other sources.
Soil testing laboratories are now established in 102 counties and
·- most of the other counties have service arrangements with counties
V. that have laboratories. \Vell over 65,000 soil samples were tested in
Y A 1954, as compared to 46,500 in 1953. The cash value of this service
Y is impossible to determine accurately, but is very large both in savings
> in the purchase of fertilizer and in improved yields and better prac-
f tices. Farm people recognize the value of such service.
The Kentucky Farm and Home Development Program was given
<  increased attention. During the year an assistant director was ap-
2  pointed and placed in charge of that work. At the close of the year ‘
h — 69 counties were actively engaged in that program, which was started
*1 I in Kentucky {ive years ago but which enjoyed its greatest increase in I
lf Q 1954. Nine experienced county agents were taken from their counties,
6 =  given special training, and then set as regional assistants to bolster
{ the work in farm and home development, each in a group of counties.
>  The county workers also were given special training for farm and j
  home development work. The literature used in this work was revised .
·' and amplified, including the work book and the record book. This L

A development was made possible during the last half of the calendar tr
year through modest increases in both federal and state funds. Ken- C1.
Q tucky was fortunate in having plans made and operations on a limited al.
i scale already in motion when the increased funds made expansion
; possible.
i Turn—over in personnel continued to be a vexing problem and
f added effort was put forth in the form of training schools and work-
i shops to train new workers and to develop experienced workers further fa?
to meet the added responsibilities. The shifting in personnel was V6
  most severe, as in previous years, in home economics and this fact th'
l proved one of the most difficult in development of the farm unit ap- V6
proach. rei
Advanced study and refresher courses are especially important _
when workers are subjected to constantly increasing demands, yet a P1]
doubly diHicult situation is created when a considerable number of SOI
workers are on leave for study. Most of these cases, however, involved lat
‘ periods of only a few days or weeks. Four workers were on extended SCE
leave, studying for advanced degrees. All forms of graduate study dis
were encouraged and those on extended leave were given sabbatic Wa
privileges and half pay. The fellowships and scholarships generously 5 lea
provided by various agencies made it possible for some of these per- 1 m
sons to take advanced study. . 90*
Specialists and other personnel at the University were encouraged _ far:
to spend more time and effort in preparing helps for county workers b€t
and in preparing plans and teaching aids. Great stress was laid upon HUC
carefully constructed county plans of work and the development of iigfi
leadership, for it would be difficult to accomplish the expanded pro- fm"
gram of work without good county plans and more local leadership UW
with better training. Under such conditions great effort was made
further to develop County Extension Advisory Committees. In addi- Ou
tion to the over-all committees, many counties have organized agri- In l
cultural advisory committees to take leadership in developing the - CHU
purely agricultural phases of the program. All of this practically forces I and
the assumption of leadership, responsibility and participation upon ‘ *1PP
local people.   -
Cooperation with other agencies and organizations was encouraged is tf
where all or portions of the programs of those agencies are related   i“g»
closely to the objectives of Extension. Examples of these are the i Fan
dairy herd improvement associations, artificial breeding associations. i tak?
livestock and seed improvement associations, soil conservation dis- 5

 5
tricts, general farm and home organizations, ASC committees, farm
credit groups, FHA, REA, and numerous other government-sponsored
_  and private and se1ni—public agencies.
FARM AND HOME DEVELOPMENT
Farm and Home Development is an activity in which the farm
family considers the whole farm and home as a unit. Families in-
· ventory their total available resources of land, labor and capital. They
_. then, with the assistance of the Cooperative Extension Service, de-
` velop and execute a plan to make the largest possible use of these
l resources, and provide for the most satisfaction for the family.
Farm and Home Development was started in Kentucky in four
pilot counties in the fall of 1948, although no additional funds or per-
sonnel were made available for this work until ]uly 1, 1954. On this
I latter date Farm and Home Development was started on a national
`  scale when Congress appropriated additional Extension funds for
distribution to the various states. The Extension Service in Kentucky
was already providing this assistance in 52 counties and is one of the
leading states in that activity. Seventeen new counties were started
_  in Farm and Home Development late in 1954, making a total of 69
» counties now participating. By 1954, 960 families had completed a
farm and home plan designed to improve farm income and promote
better family living. Through the practical application of research,
A and with the guidance of county agricultural and home demonstration
“ agents, many families have doubled the productive capacity of their
farms and have transformed their homes into more convenient, attrac-
tive, healthful places.
These families not only adopt improved farm and home practices
.  on their own farms but also they act as demonstrators and leaders. _
A In this way they encourage better farming and homemaking in their
· entire communities. On the average, 150 persons visit these farms .
° and homes annually to see what their neighbors are doing and many `
apply some of what they learn to their own farms and homes. ·
—: In Farm and Home Development the welfare of the entire family
E is taken into consideration. This includes proper food, clothing, hous— _
  ing, health, education, future protection, and community welfare.
" Families talk over all of their problems and make their own plans, i
taking into consideration all information available to them. A

f \ COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AGENT WORK mai
wh:
1 shi]
Z The outstanding feature of county agricultural agent work in 1954
l was participation in the research and education program through in- I CYS
  creased leadership developed through the Farm and Home Develop- PEO
l ment approach, the County Extension Advisory Committees, and the mel
, 4-H Councils in carrying out the family unit approach. The
f During the year one agent returned from a year’s leave at the to C
i University of Missouri and another from Colorado A. & M. Also six by 1
l county agents and one supervisor attended regional summer short
courses. In addition, thirty of the agents attended a 21/Z weeks summer y
school at the University of Kentucky.   _
The most significant thing done during the year on professional   attr;
improvement was the completion of individual evaluations of all coun- f lead
ty agents and their respective programs. Each agent was scored by tion
` four or five state workers, including the supervisor. On the whole, Exté
this evaluation was satisfactory and the response from agents in the I
future will probably warrant its continuance. CDU
SOI`€¤
County Stuff Relationships Othe
More and more, the entire county extension program is being con- I
sidered by the entire county staff as plans are formulated and executed. Hum
One of the principal factors bringing this about is the Farm and Home 4‘H
Development Program which has been put into operation in more inch?
than half the counties of the state. The County Extension Advisory . gud
Committee also tends to bring the county staff and the work together I PF0i<
in a rather definite manner.
County and home agents were called together in district confer-
ences and each was provided a mimeographed booklet of about ten   S·
sheets giving pertinent basic data regarding each county. This ma-   Deve
terial was compiled by the Department of Agricultural Economics   skills
and one of the specialists from that department also attended the   comp
district conference and explained the data. It will make much more   the l
definite the present situation and help to bring out the real problems ‘i cialis
and needs of the people.   of th
The emphasis currently being placed on the County Extension I F
Advisory Committees automatically engages more of the local people visor;
in program determination. In addition to the over-all committee,   the b

 ` 7
many of the counties also have an Agricultural Advisory Committee
which serves rather closely with the county agent and takes leader-
ship in the development of the agricultural phase of the program.
A In planning county extension programs the county extension work-
ers are the key persons. Supervisors and specialists serve as resoruce
people. The specialists provide basic data, inspiration, encourage-
ment,, and suggestions on things which may be timely and helpful.
The supervisors also provide basic data, but more particularly help
V to outline ways and methods of planning and obtaining participation
f by the local people.
Voluntary Leaders
l Much of the accomplishment of the Extension Service can be
attributed to the efforts of voluntary leaders. The efforts of these
’ leaders are amplified by working through committees and organiza-
’ tions such as community and commodity program groups, County
. Extension Advisory Committees, and 4-H Councils.
More than three-fourths of the counties in Kentucky now have
County Extension Advisory Committees. These committees have spon-
sored the Farm and Home Development Program as well as many
_ other projects.
Each year county extension agents are reaching an increasing
number of urban and sub-urban residents by giving emphasis to both
‘ 4-H and adult projects of interest to these people. These projects
include home production of family food supply, landscaping, poultry,
garden, rabbits, flowers, home conveniences as well as such 4-H
i projects as electric appliances, woodworking and entomology.
` Farm and Home Development
Study and evaluation of the work indicates that Farm and Home
` Development activities have contributed tremendously to attitudes, A
. skills and accomplishments; county and home agents have a more
p comprehensive view of rural problems, including those of the farm, ’
l the home, the family and the community. Likewise, extension spe-
(_ cialists have been able to evaluate with greater accuracy, the place .
“ of their specialty in reaching objectives.  
j Farm and Home Development has given administrative and super- _
i visory personnel a new vision of the need for program unification, of j
I the benefits to be derived from it and of possible ways of securing it. .

 l
Farm and Home Development has created with the general public _ 4*
a new sense of respect for the Extension Service, and a new confidence  
Q in the value of educational methods in dealing with the complex rural 1
1 problems of today. ;

{ HOME DEMONSTRATION WORK
; The rapid turn-over in personnel of the Home Demonstration staff
p created a diflicult problem. There are at the present time 106 counties V
l making appropriations for employment of home demonstration agents
  but four of these counties have vacancies due to scarcity of qualified
personnel. There are now 115 agents working, including 11 assistant
agents.
The increase in number of counties carrying the Farm and Home
I Development Program has created a demand and need for assistant
{ agents which have not yet been found. The immediate problem is
keeping one agent in each of the appropriating counties. Even in the
face of such shortage most of the 11 assistant agents are releasing time
for the agent to spend in Farm and Home Development work.
Over 50 percent of Kentucky home demonstration agents took ad-
vantage of the opportunity for in-service training. Of greatest interest
was the Housing Short Course offered by the University of Kentucky
i and attended by 48 Home Demonstration Agents. Two home demon-
  stration agents and one supervisor were absent on sabattic and schol-
l arship leaves, two attended extension summer schools, and two spe-
  cialists attended a rug-making short course, and the state leader, one
  supervisor and one specialist attended the Farm and Home Develop- ~
i ment Workshop in Missouri. In addition, a very large number at-
] tended such meetings of professional interest as the Kentucky Hecrea- ‘
tion Workshop, The Penland School of Handicraft, District Food
j Preservation Workshops, and professional meetings on district, state, `
j and national levels.
f For many years the Kentucky Homemakers Organization has par- ·
1 ticipated very actively in determining the Homemaking program. _
Emphasis has been on development of County Extension Advisory Q
Committees for developing the overall program and helping to co- X
i ordinate the various parts of the program. The Homemakers Organi-

 . l
i j 10
i zation has been well represented and has participated actively in the 12.
j County Extension Advisory Committees. Emphasis in program de- 3
q velopment has been given to methods and techniques for discovering  
i the basic needs and interests of people, the preparation and use of  
E surveys, leading discussion and getting people to think through their   H0
  problems. Objectives have been fairly clear, but better methods in l
F this field are needed. ’ anc
j Leadership has been developed through the Homemakers Organi- yea
zation over a long period of years and is one of the great satisfactions   hor
V ; of the work. VVomen, through assuming the assignments of an organi-   des
f zation program over a period of years, have progressively become   tha
responsible and have developed talents and abilities in many fields. 1 in 1
1 Another development of the year was the work of seven committees 3156
appointed to study, appraise, evaluate and make recommendations
regarding the set up, administration and operation of extension work s W01
in the state. -
` Progress has been made in achieving a more coordinated extension   gi?
program by continued emphasis on such joint activities and endeavors msg

Home furnishings
_ The interiors of 37,878 homes were improved as a result of assist-
l ance given in selection and construction of home furnishings. This
l year 110 counties received instruction in one or more phases of the
home furnishings program. Homernakers learned that good color and
design add beauty to the simple and inexpensive home. They learned
that comfort and attractiveness of the home plays an important part
* in upholding family morale. The Kentucky homemakers were helped
also in choosing wall finishes, floor coverings, curtains and furniture.
p Specialists in home furnishings held 229 meetings with 5,689
Q women in attendance.
{ As a result of this program women made lamp shades to replace
i wor·n out ones and some of these were for lamps that they had wired.
E Slip covers were made, furniture refinished and upholstered, chairs
  reseated and spring cushions renovated. Many braided and hooked
‘ rugs mere made from discarded garments. Curtains and draperies
’ have been made and window shades renovated.
l Home muncgement
Home management broadened in scope to meet the changing needs
and interests of homemakers and their families. Twenty-two thousand
  thirty—nine (22,039) families reported a significant number of accom-
A plishments as a result of projects taught in family business affairs
i which included the making of wills; banking; financial planning; bet-
  ter buymanship in the selection, use and care of household equipment;
  home nursing and improved health and safety practices; better man-
  agement of time by improving skills and applying efficient methods
of work; and better arranged and improved homes.
p As a result of these improved practices, hornemakers and their
  families are managing their business affairs more intelligently and are
  becoming informed consumers. They have improved their health by
  following better health and safety practices and by making greater
use of the county health services. Homernakers have more time and
energy to enjoy family living and to participate in community activi-
ties, since they have improved their skills and methods in doing house-
V hold tasks and made their homes more convenient and livable.

L Clothing 5_
' That homemakers are interested in the Extension clothing program
i was evidenced by the 36,956 families reached by the clothing program. 6.
· Ninety counties of the 102 with home demonstration agents received
  some clothing information. Interest is increasing in selection of cloth- . F°°
i ing. A wide choice of fabrics—many comparatively new—has created 1
1 an interest in the selection, use, and care of fabrics. Wardrobe plan- 16 J
i ning and selection is on the increase as women have become more 6011
V conscious of the importance of the well—dressed family. Instructions 111611
  in choosing garments that suit the individual’s needs, that will be and
1 fashion—right for a number of years and that will serve many occasions at 6
have been received with enthusiasm by homemakers. Basic wardrobes ~
were planned by 3,875 women, and 12,250 reported help in other ways 16P*
of selection and buying. 11165
Construction of clothing at home continues to be an important 16aS
factor in being well-dressed with less expenditure of cash. Home- 10F
V makers reported making 126,701 new garments, 4,341 hats, and 3,297 1116]
bags. Tailored garments numbering 2,756—expensive to buy ready- 1
made—were made at considerable saving. Estimated saving on all 1116
clothing was $287,315. bi'01
Numbers of homemakers clubs continue to pass on information to 1
those outside the club membership. A total of 18,532 nonmembers 1006
were reached by clothing information. 60111
I
Child training and family relations   Schc
\Vork in child training and family relations is carried on mainly of g
through special discussion groups, and necessarily small. The interest froir
of fathers in attending the discussion groups is a real gain. A few plan
years ago it was unusual for a father to come to a meeting; now, cant
county planning committees often request that meetings be held in table
the evenings so fathers can attend. A total of 5,900 families were gang
reached during the year with child development information. A
Families reporting accomplishments in various aspects of the pro- projc
gram were as follows: 18,0(
1. 830 adopting better habits with respects to development of children.
2. 1326 using better methods in selecting toys; play equipment and
books. E
whoi
3. 672 working to improve social life of adolescents. Pcru
-1, 977 providing a definite job for which the child is responsible. Pm. C

 ‘ 13
5. 666 providing equipment to help children acquire wholesome
j habits.
  6. 325 checked movies children attend and 485 the comics read.
j Food ond nutrition _
l In all foods projects, emphasis is placed on the best buys and how
j to judge quality, how to prepare foods to retain food value, flavor,
color, texture, and general appearances. As a result, this year, 12,558
. individual families improved their food selection for better nutrition
  and economy. Short cuts and time-saving methods are demonstrated
l at every meeting.
  Improvements in meal planning were evidenced by this year’s
reports. The figures showed an increase of approximately 3,000 fam-
ilies improving their meal planning. Those who planned meals at
f least a day at a time numbered 7,269 homemakers, and 4,140 planned
i for at least three days at a time. Improvements were made in the
  preparation of vegetables, meats, milk and eggs by 7,863 homemakers.
Many women have learned to use the broilers on their stoves for
the first time. This year, 3,443 reported making better use of their
broilers and 4,286 reported using their ovens more economically.
Y Work was done in practically every county on the preparation of
p food for freezing and on demonstration of recipes for foods which _
l could be made and stored in the refrigerator and home freezers.
I Food preservation was given special interest this year. Training
  schools were held by the food and nutrition specialists for the purpose
of giving home demonstration agents the latest information resulting
from research in food preservation. A total of 9,275 families reported
planning a food production, an increase over last year. Families
canning foods numbered 24,717, and those canning non—acid vege- ‘
d tables and meats in the pressure cooker numbered 12,868. Pressure .
gauges numbering 3,667 were tested.
A total of 3,225 leaders were trained in the foods and nutrition ·
projects, and they in turn reached 6,812 members and approximately i
18,000 non-members. ·
4-H Club Work
Enrollment in 4-H clubs in Kentucky this year totaled 64,032, of _
whom 28,199 were boys and 35,833 girls. Of these members 76.46 j
percent completed their projects, or an average of 549 club members Q
per county. Each of the 120 counties had a 4-H club program. In all,

  Leaders i`/hi
  It would be impossible for the county agricultural and home dem- tac
j onstration agents and assistant agents to carry the volume of club A 8
Q work that is carried in Kentucky without the assistance of local volun- sm
Q teer leaders—both men and women. During this year 4,359 men and
l 6,341 women served as local leaders in 4-H club work, while 174 older Th
V boys and 249 older girls served as junior leaders. Altogether, 11,123 (
. . . sele
i volunteer leaders assisted w1th the 4-H program.
i Nearly all counties in the state have a county 4-H volunteer leader gu
organization. Each county has two representatives—a man and a u
woman—to serve on a district committee. The state committee, called Den
the Kentucky 4-H Leaders Council, is composed of two leaders—a .
man and a wo1nan—fro1n each district. This first year of work for the _  
Kentucky 4-H Leaders Council has been one of adjustments, feeling lil
i their way, deciding what such an organization could and should do ` F]€_

toward promot1on of the over-all 4-H club program in Kentucky. boy
4-H Week farn
The first state event in the year is 4-H \rVeel<, which is held at the indi
University of Kentucky in Lexington within the first half of june. man
This was the thirty—Hrst year that this event has been held. There VVec
were 1,132 4-H club members, agents and leaders in attendance in 13 tt
1954. All of the 120 counties, except two, were represented. The onst.
program for 4-H Week is intended to give the boys and girls an op- dem
portunity to observe something of college life, and to visit the Experi- [
ment Station farm and the campus of the University. is a
Many students at the University have said that they probably gem]
never would have come to the University, if it had not been for their teguy
attending 4-H Week when they were still in high school. In 1954, 26 [
percent of the students enrolled in the University had been 4-H club
members and 61 percent of those in the College of Agriculture and Dish
Home Economics had been 4-H club members. '[
Former 4-H club members who are students in the University have of 3,
an organization which they call the University 4-H Club. This is a was
very active organization which meets twice each month. It has 21 healt
status similar to fraternities and sororities. One of the fine services S€tS(
this organization renders is that of making freshmen feel at home aud]
when they come to the University. te;-gsi

“Citizenship” and “Pers0nality” were stressed at 4-H Week. This
  covered citizenship in the county, the state, the nation, and the world.
Q Miss Elizabeth Taylor and Dr. ]ames Cladden, University of Ken-
  tucky, directed the discussion program, assisted by other members of
  the University staff.
State dress revue
. The state dress revue is a part of the 4-H Week program each year.
T There were 23,648 girls enrolled in the clothing project. Each county
  selects the most outstanding member in this project to represent the
‘ county at 4-H Week. The state champion is awarded a trip to 4-H
