having been made to feel the insecurity of their positions, will
._ seek such opportunities and the best agents will be the first
A  to find other jobs. The extension service will thus lose some
1 of its best workers.
COUNTY AGENT WORK
. Because of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration·
,_ program, and other emergency projects, county agent work
7 was confronted in 1933 with n1any new problems, but because
  of previous organization and planning it was possible to ac-
  cept the new assignments without entirely dropping many of
’  the old established projects, ln order to make more efficient
`  use of the time of specialists a modified plan was put into op-
  eration in Eastern Kentucky. Agents in that section met
  early in the year. with certain of the specialists most frequently
  called upon in that area, to discuss their projects. Plans were
  perfected and dates were set for later visits, demonstrations
 i_ and tours. ln this way. the specialists were able to work in
Y  circuits and assist a large number ot? counties with a minimum
  expenditure of time and money. During the year there was
  a net loss of live counties. reducing the number ot` agzents from
  SS to S3. but a comparison ot the tabulated results indicates
T  practically no decrease in total results of the year ’s work.
_  (lrop ]))'0(7l((‘lI·07l Loans. The crop loan for the third year
  continued to be a heavy burden to extension agents and was
  a type ot? service not directly related to the regular extension
‘  activities, To do this work without causing criticism required
 t patience and tact. Kentucky agents succeeded for three years
 i_ iu this added duty as is indicated by the liollowing tigures: ln
if  ltlill, 27.550 loans were grranted to Kentucky applicants.
i `  ; amounting: to $2.5Zl5_tl2li.5l. 'l`his total includes loans for seed.
  leed for work stock and other livestock. fertilizer fuel and
  oil. for tractors. and for agricultural rehabilitation.

  years the improvement of the exterior of the farm l1o1ne was
  emphasized in the home demonstration program. A coopera-

  departments was evolved. The first year’s project gave con-
