Abstract: Excerpts from the report Highlights: A review and evaluation of State council activities by Farmer Cooperative Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture showed 30 of them with active programs in 1954. Within the limits of budgets and available facilities, the State cooperative councils are doing a good job. They are making substantial progress in membership, budgets, and handling overall programs. Membership, however, is still low and budgets need further strengthening. Their programs divide mainly into three types of activity--legislative, membership and education, and public relations. While individual program activities are comparable, the councils with part-time secretaries have fewer projects than those with full-time secretaries. Their strongest features are their programs for youth and directors and their field work with vocational agriculture teachers, Extension workers, and other leaders.
