ANNUAL REPORT OF THE EXTENSION DIRECTOR A
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 3], `I94S  
  ‘
By T. R. Bnvixiw, Assistant Director  
THOUGH FARM PEOPLE were beset by labor shortages and lack of ;
equipment, supplies, and transportation facilities during the war, they    
ion managed to keep farm production on a high level. By the end of the Q {
me war in 1nid—l945, however, the handicaps had begun to take their toll, ‘ A
ber and certain recessions were beginning to appear. The places of young t ,
ous men had been taken by old men, women, and children, and the neces- f
cial sary labor for essential operations had been provided, though it Z.
meant still longer hours for most farmers and farm families. Even
such effort could not prevail indefinitely against obsolescence of
farm machinery, scarcity of fertilizer and other supplies, and lack of
trucking facilities. _
With the coming of peace farm people foresaw a different set of
tlilliculties and realized the necessity for making both current and
long-time plans. In this situation they again turned to the College t
of Agriculture and Home Economics. The basis of the assistance
given in short-term planning was the annual outlook report, with all ;
_ its implications, and for longer-term planning the circular “Oppor— y
tunities in Kentucky Agriculture" issued in the spring of 19-15.
ln home-demonstration work the advantage of having well-organ- T
ized homemakers clubs in the various counties was especially evident
this year when turnover in personnel among county home demonstra- f
V, tion agents was so high. \tVithout the aid of the established home- ·
makers clubs the continuity of the Extension program would have
suffered far more than it did. The committeemen, county leaders,
local leaders and other officers make their county planning a year-
round affair, with the result that their plans are usually well-laid.
C Ul ililtrottgli the homeinakers clubs and neighborhood leaders the
lmlll li\l(`ll$l¤>It Service had inatle (lllfillg the war years the tteitrcsl 2l|>pl`t¤i1t ll
lI().i!`(l ffl l"‘¥i<`lllttg every farm family. This effort to reach those liiiltllllw
` lm lm`d€Si to reach has been intensified. 'l`he principal effort of Estell-
sion work is to bring the greatest possible satisfaction to the largest
possible number of people and in this effort nothing has been more
beneficial than the work in home economics that makes rural homes
more convenient and comfortable and community life more satisfying.
The fact that *}—l·I club work came through the war stronger
than ever is in itself a tribute to farm people. Plans, programs,

t events, and direction were provided by the state 4QH Club staff Su
and were made effective through the county Extension agents in SP
Agriculture and in Home Economics, but it required the unpaid antl
devoted leadership of local volunteers to get full results. Under the M
leadership of nearly 8,000 volunteer leaders and captains, 8I percent Si]
of the club members enrolled completed their projects. Many of the of
_ best leaders of 4-H and Utopia clubs were young men of military draft an
age or suitable for work in the highly paid industries. Depletion of
the ranks of these leaders was severe, but despite this drain on vitality on
` the clubs emerged from the war period larger and stronger than they _
were at the beginning and with a firmer hold upon the respect and iu
admiration of people in general.  
Mutually helpful cooperative relations are maintained by Extent-  
sion with various agencies, without any loss of identity or any assutnp- .1,
tion of responsibility for the acts or obligations of the other agencies. W
l·`arm organizations both local and statewide have been of great A
assistance in the furthering of Extension teaching, and in turn they ln
have received benefits from Extension which they appreciate highly. Il
ln the present transition from war to peace, the Committee for Ken- `l
tucky is active in many fields which touch upon Agricultural Exten- m
sion. As one of its first statements this committee published a report W
on agriculture prepared by the Director of Extension. The public lll
press, the banks, and many business houses are deeply interested in -
the work that Extension teaching fosters and they are willing to gi\’€ YC
material and moral assistance in a way that in no sense fetters or COIl· at
ditions Extension service.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL AGENT WORK ill
e
The year began with the needs l`or total war dominating cotnl¤)‘ jp
agent activities. for the fourth consecutive year, and ended with plain M
in operation for conversion to a peace-time postwar basis. The county
2igCDt program was planned early in the year with emphasis upvti W
maximum production. Labor simplification, use of fertilizers, and U
efficient livestock feeding received major emphasis, A month`s ilifilw In
tion training or refresher course was set up for all men entering or il

staff such operations as plant pulling, setting, priming, cutting, spearing, ,
is lll splitting, housing, and stripping.   i
·*‘“‘l Six group conferences of agents were held during the year to ll
l` tits acquaint them with new subject matter, postwar plans, and the labor-  
‘i““l simplification program. The Extension clerks were included in one I
l th? ol these series ol conl`erences, to receive training in ollice management tj
dell and procedure.    
EQU?} Tl`he postwar program- began with the ·publication ol tt. circular   5
{hog entitled Opportunities in Kentucky Agrtculture,’ in which each
i mel subject-matter department at the College had helped to outline the j ·
' ( needs ol rural Kentucky. A series of chstrict conierences were held
y early in the year at which county and home agents were trained in i l
'xmli organizing and developing the postwar program [or their counties.
l“‘l‘l" The county and home agents then took the lead in organizing county
mm' tonnnittees to study, make recommendations, and assist in developing ,
gliwi plans lor the improvement of agriculture, homes, and connnunity.
  ln each county, representatives ol' all interests and types·ol` farming, i
Km'? all organized groups and agencies, in the county were invited to these
ixmw meetings. Programs were developed, subconnnittees selected, and Sur- Q
.€pO,.l Veys and studies were made by these subcomnnttees prior to lormu—
mblic lattng a recommended program. ;
ed in . The average age ol all white county agents in Kentucky is now ll y ,
) give years, the average number of years in Extension work is 13, and tl1e
r con- average number of years in the present county is 9. ‘
County agents are making greater use than ever before of voluntary A
leaders in carrying on Extension work. All program planning was K
done with the help and full participation of committeemen and local -
U leaders. The average agent in the state had the help of 208 adult
(wml l¢‘i1llel‘S, 13 neighborhood leaders, and 42 4-H Club leaders. Th€

l as far as they will participate. Field agents assisted the colored agents  
in making the planned program effective. In addition to emphasis  
on the Living-from—the-Farm Program, an attempt was made to help V
develop various new sources of farm income for tl1e negro farm families  
t involved, with special emphasis on -f-H Club work. ,t
County agents advised farmers and leaders to take advantage of ll
‘ assistance offered by other agencies such as Agricultural Adjustment ll
Administration, Soil Conservation Service, Farm Credit Administra-
tion, Rural Electrification Administration, Farm Security Adminis- o
tration, Tennessee Valley Authority, and the United States Employ- I,
ment Service. An average of 48 days per agent was spent on programs 1:
in cooperation with Federal agencies. Because of the relative impor- (7
tance of the Rural Electrihcation Administration in the postwar pro-
gram, the county agents did much to get rural electrification lines .\
extended.
Soil conservation districts have now been organized in about 70
counties of the state. It is doubtful if many of these districts could
have been organized without considerable work on the part of county F
agents. Soil conservation practices were stressed in the Extension pro-
grams. Cooperation of Soil Conservation Service personnel has been 1
enlisted, particularly in rendering teclmical assistance in carrying out l‘
soil conservation practices. Soils programs were also carried on in - \
cooperation with the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Unit Test
demonstrations were continued and a few new ones were added. Dem-
onstrations were conducted with grasses and legumes, and planting of
forest trees. At soils meetings it was agreed that each TVA demon- I
strator in a community would also be the soils leader for the com- ,
munity and that in addition to furnishing weights and records ¤`€·  
quired, he would make a dehnite contribution to the soil-improvement :
programs of his neighbors. Many water reservoirs were laid out and (
constructed. .
A committee was organized in each county to give advice and '
guidance to returning veterans. These committees set up by the county l
agents were able to answer all requests for help. l
County agents worked closely with all local agencies and organiza-  
tions, but the closest relationship existed with the schools. Most ol
the #1-H Clubs were organized within or around the schools.
The following figures were compiled from statistical rep01`i$ Ol
county agents for 1945:

~ The problems brought about by war conditions definitely influenced (
the needs and interests of rural people. Conservation was again the i'
keynote of IHOSL l)1`Ogl`2lHlS—COI1S€l`V3[lOI1 of time, energy, food, clothing, ll
equipment, and furnishings. As the war receded, however, interest  
began to shift to consumer problems, home improvement, housing,  
and health. People were interested also in making their accumulated ll
buying power serve to bring about maximum beauty, comfort, and
‘ conveniences in their homes. rr
Foods and nutrition.- Production and conservation of foods i1
· received continued emphasis in l945. Fifty-seven food conservation tt
assistants were employed to help increase home food production and
conservation. Through their efforts, information was carried to remote
areas, and to families not participating in any organized program.
Three negro conservation assistants helped negro families in 9 counties.
Assistance in this program was given by staff members in Agricultural
Engineering, Dairying, Animal Husbandry, Poultry, and Horticulture.
One food-production assistant reported visiting 886 homes in regard to
victory gardens, control of plant disease and pests, canning methods,
testing pressure cookers, and assisting 4-H Club members with food
projects. This same assistant gave 79 demonstrations on foods and
food preservation.
Production of milk, cheese, and butter from the home dairy enter·
prise also was stressed. About 7,000 families were helped to make .
better butter and cottage cheese; 740 dairy thermometers were pur·
chased in one county as a result of the home food production program,
and thousands were purchased in the state.
Preparation of foods for freezer lockers, varieties to raise for freez-
ing, and packing to improve quality were subjects covered in a series
of meetings in counties opening up freezer lockers. Attendance and
interest shown at these meetings were indicative of the interest in this
type of food preservation.  
ln connection with the food conservation program over 65 million
tjuarts of food were reported canned in homes and (i·f million bushels i
stored. About 23,000 pressure cookers were purchased to make home l
canning easier and to make home-canned food safer to eat. Altogether i
some 38,000 families were helped to improve their home food $U]*l’ll' l
of vegetables, fruits, milk, and poultry. (
Through the nutrition and health program many individuals l
were helped in special nutritional problems such as weight control.
digestion, and child feeding. lmprovement of the diet. of the family l
through better knowledge of food requirements and the nutritive '
value of foods, was reported by 28,797 families in 59 Kentucky counties. l
Clothing.- \iVartime shortages and high cost of clothing created

Home management.- Only through good management can a
homemaker accomplish the most. with smallest expenditure of time,
energy, and money. Home-management studies were carried on in   ·
counties. They included a study of easier methods of housekeeping;
washing and ironing; improvement of storage facilities; kitchen plan- j
ning; money management; care and repair of electrical equipment;
‘ keeping tools sharp and in good condition; control of household pests. l
T About 25,000 families reported improved practices. About 8,000
kitchens were remodeled or rearranged and made attractive. More
- than 15,000 pieces of equipment were added. In addition to time and
energy saved, an estimated $20,000 was saved through this project.
Other activities of homemakers groups.-Homemakers as groups
and individuals sponsored and assisted in many civic activities and
enterprises among which were school and community improvement,
donations to worthy causes, welfare work for 1lCC(ly families, cont-
munity recreation, salvage campaigns, drives, and Red Cross work.
Development of leadership.- Only through the help and coop-
eration of local people can any great amount of work be done. The
accomplishments listed above were made possible through the help of
ll,209 voluntary local leaders who gave help to their neighbors, dem-
onstrated improved features and held meetings in their communities.
These trained leaders not only made the home-demonstration program
more far·reaching, but have themselves developed into a force for _ l
good in their communities. Their value to their connnunities is bt- S
yond estimation.

4-H AND UTOPIA CLUB WORK  
WVinning the war was the major ob_jective when the 4-I-I and Utopia l
programs were set up at the beginning of the year. These programs
were carried through as planned even though hostilities ceased before t
the end of the year. The greatest stress was placed on production and
conservation of food and other activities which would aid in winning
the war.
Enrolled in the club work were 78,l35 boys and girls; of whom 8l
percent completed their projects. The average number of club ment
bers per county was 656. They started l l2.l87 projects and completed
88.592. To carry on such a large program successfully, the cooperation
of the whole Extension staff, local volunteer leaders, and others is
required. Public and private schools, churches, press, radio, [amt
organizations, service clubs, bankers and business men gave their
whole-hearted cooperation and assistance. 4-I-I Club work was carried
on through 3,094 community clubs with 7,972 local farm men and
women and older club members serving as leaders and helping the
club members with their projects and activities.
