BY: Mr. Clack
IN RE: COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE COMMITTEE ANNUAL REPORT
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
You will find the report of the Cooperative Extension Service Committee on your
chair.
On page 1 are two graphs. The one at the top of the page shows the purpose of
the Cooperative Extension Service and the activities of the agents for the past year. The
graph at the bottom shows how the costs of the office are shared.
The next page shows the work of the agricultural agent. We would like you to
notice at the bottom of the page how Oakland ranks among the state's counties in farms
and farm income.
The picture on the 4-H page shows our new 4-H Agent, Mrs. Ruth Montney. She
is the first agent to have part of her salary paid from county funds since 1933.
The Home Economics program is reported on the next page. Oakland County ranks
first in the state in the number of women enrolled in Home Economics groups.
On the page dealing with horticulture, the picture on the right is of the cover
of a bulletin on the Control of Aquatic Weeds. Unfortunately the title of the bulletin
was left off by our printer.
With over 400 lakes in Oakland County, it is important to us to know how to
control the water weeds.
Activities in Marketing Information for consumers are shown on the page with
the market basket. During 1961 Mrs. Lawyer started a weekly television show on
Channel 4 (WWJ-TV) and is seen on Thursdays at 1:55 P.M.
The last page shows some of the folks who attended a banquet which the
Committee held for officers of the volunteer Extension Leaders Councils and Committees
at Michigan State University-Oakland, on October 25. At the bottom of the page is
the picture taken when Extension Committees of Oakland, Macomb and Wayne met
lointly on January 12 at the Medical Care Facility Building at the County Service
Center.
MR, CHAIRMAN, I move that the Annual Report of the Cooperative Extension
Service Committee be received and placed on file.
Lee H. Clack, Chairman
Cooperative Extension Service Committee
