A. HORTICULTURE
1. Fruit Production
In order to stimulate individual home orchardists to re-vive andclean-up their orchards, the Agent gave a number of method demonstrationson the pruning out of dead and weak wood. Cleanning out of dead materialis necessary if home orchards are to do well and not detract from thescenery.
TIie pruning program could be improved by including it as a partof the community and home beautification campaign. Often entire treesshould be taken out.
2. Gardens
One of the more important activities carried on during the yearwas the conducting of sweet corn variety demonstrations, cooperatingwith home gardeners in st. Johns and Round Valley. This .�s a repeatof a demonstration the year before, and confirmed previous results.Sweet corn is one of our more successful crops and many �ardeners were
not acquainted with the newer hybrids. Results of the demonstrationfollow this section of the r�port. i
3. Grounds Beautification
For the second year in a row, the Agricultural Ageat sponsored a
"County Beautification Month.- The main reason for this was to try tostimulate county residents to clean up home-lots and places of business,as well as to plant new shrubbery, properly located. Many areas in thecounty need a, lot-of clean-up and planting.
During' the month of March, set aside for the beautification ofgrounds, the Agent conducted special landscaping meetings at Sanders,
,
st. Johns .. McNary and Round Valley. Both demonstrations and 2ft x 2"slides "rere used. The Mc1Jary meeting l;ras sponsored by a newly-formedgarden club, while the others were general public meetings held at thelocal High School. The Agent also accompanied a group of people fromst. Johns on a trip to the �fuite Mountains, where a demonstration on
transplanting evergreens was given. Trees from the MOuntains were
planted at the st. Johns City Park as well a� at a few home areas.
Assistance was also given to the Baptist church in Sanders and theL. D. S. church In st. Johns on planning a ,1ruldscaping program.
Also, in connection with Beautifieation Month, the Agent gave a
large number of individual demonstrations on selecting, arranging andpnuning evergreens.
A lot of publicity through newspaper, circular and radio was givento the campaign. Also, the ,Agent contacted the town councils in Springerville, Eagar and st. Johns to get their assistance.

3. Grounds Beautification (Continued)
Ernie Wilbur took out the first nursery license in st. Johnsduring the year. Fe sold over $400 �rth of evergreens in shortorder. This should" certainly help in inproving year-round appearances.Assistance was given by the Agent in selecting shrub and tree varietiesfor Ir. Wilbur to order.
By all of these activities it is hoped that more individualswill improve their home surroundings. About half of the ho�e-o�lershave made great improvement but the in-tetween places are still left.
A repeat of clean-up and landscaping actIvities, including re
involvement of 4-H clubs, Should be cor�ucted again next year, and forseveral years at least.
4. Insects
One new insect appeared on the scene during the year. Thi s was
the elm leaf beetle, which has never been seen in Apache County before.the beetle resulted in destroying nearly all of the leaves en ChineseElm trees in the st. Johns area. Since Chinese or Siberian elms often
spread like weeds in the irrigated areas of the county, ��y people feltthat anything which would get rid of this tree was good. Suggestionson spraying for control were given on request, but nothing was done nor
will probably be done in the.future to control the beetle, as long asit sticks to Siberian elms.

1. Beef Cattle
a. Marketing
Since beef cattle are the most important source of agriculturalincome, and since marketing has been a problem for some time, the Agenthas worked on this phase each year.
The Jgent attempted to get the ppache County Director of the Northern Arizoaa Cattlegrowers to work out som� type of cooperative sellingplan. Nothing too definite re�llted, but a small group of cattlemen, including the Director, sold as a unit to one buyer, receiving the highestmarket price.
Next year a good cattle-for-sale listing will be set up, as was donepreviously. If kept current, this should help cattlemen to get more uni
formly fair prices for their cattle and to economize on time spent in locating buyers.
b. Diseases and Parasites
In order to meet the problem of re-accrediting the county as Bru�
cellosis-free, the Agent found it necess� to organize a countywideBrucellosis committee. Appointed were Leslie Noble, Alpine; BatherBrown, Eagar; Tom Jones, st. Johns; Wayne Wallace, Sanders; and HarbonHeap, Cattlegrowers representative. This is the first time Apache Countyhas had a full-fledged cow�ittee« The Agent cooperated with FederalVeterinarian, carl Thompson, in setting up the program. As well as gettingthe testing done, this organization should help to pull the county together.Testing will not take place again until 1962, if successful this time.
One other repeating cattle problem, which the Agent worked on vithSpecialist Paul Lineberry and Dr. J. N. Roney, was the need for bettergrub centrol. A result demonstration was set up at the Harbon Heap Ranch,North of st. Johns, to compare the effectiveness of various S,Ystemics forcontrolling grubs. .An intestinal worm check was planned to be made at thesame time. Only partial results have been obtained, the rest to be obtainedduring the first part of the next report year. It Is hoped to repeatthis again next year to help stimulate ranchers to use the newer systemics,where economical.
c. Feeding
Only a very few individtlals fatt.en out cattle in the feedlot, but
help is needed there to try to make the practice more profitable.
Through demonstration, help vas given one young farmer, Jack Browof st. Johns, in implanting stilbestrol pellets in the ears of steers.Also information, as provided by the Livestock specialist, was furnished�to determine how much hormone to use and the values derived. This Is im.
portant because it is the first time hormone gr�wtn-stimulators have beenused on any scale in Apache County. Anything that can help enconomizelivestock production in Apache County will benefit the people. No scales

were available to determine the value of the implanting.
Next year the goal should te to get other individuals to set vp con
trolled demonstrations of this practice, which has proven profItable elsewhere in �oth feedlots and on the range.
d.Inprovement
In order to keep up with the improvement of quality. cattlemen, es
pecially registered breeders, need to breed for weight as well as type.
In line with assisting in this respect, the Agent helped a bullproducer, Robert Hooper of Springerville, in weighing out his sale bullsto determine rate-of-gain for sale indexing. Of several registered cattleproducers in Apache County, this is the first to complete anything on rate
.
of-gain. Certainly, if bulls are inproved in this respect, commercial herEwill benefit. Continuing plans should include encouragerrent to registeredproducers to check rate-of-gain and for commercial producers to buy bullson this basis.
e. Range ��gement
Educational work, mainly through mass media and field ccn�cts, wasdone on the prevention of cattle loss due to toxic range plants. Warningswere given concerning the presence of excess nitrates often found in new
plant growth. �any cattle are believed to have been lost due to movingthem onto new immature feed.
t. Predator Control
Periodically ranchers ar� bothered by coyote attacks on young calves.This year vms especially bad in this respect. The Agent notified the Fishand Wildlife Service and helped get the trotmle located. Even though thiswas not in the plan-or-work it is felt that this cooperation with other
agencies helped in preventing quite a bit of financial loss to individualranchers.
Future plans include warning ranchers to he ready for possible coyotetrouble and letting them know wheI'e to get help.

If res111ts are successful with some of the oontrol net.hods being tried,the Agent will then help organize a control program, cooperating with thosepersons who have �Lite-top on their places.
4. Rodent Control
In order to aid farmers who were having trouble with gophers duringthe year the Agent enlisted the aid of the Fish and Wildlife Services inconducting control demonstration meetings in the st. Johns and Round Vall�.�.reas.
At least on the places where tLe demonstrations "Were !ield, the farmersused the methods learned. Others stated t.heir intention to do so.
S:nce it is expected that gophers will again be bad next year, more
de!�onstrations, as well as mass media Informat Ion , will pr·cbably be used.

1. water Conservation
SInce l�ter is often a scarce item and since any method to save
it for use dn cropl��d would be desirable, the Agent worked en the fieldof canal seepage losses.
It \laS felt that if the water users knev how much water was lostthrough seep�ge from the delivery canals, they might be interested inpreventing some of this loss.
Irrigation Specialist, Allan Halderman) visiting Greek S�ecialist,Nick Fl1omedes; Lyman water Co. President, Jack Brown; and the Agent madea check of th€' Lym2.n Canal to determine probable loss. At various pointsalong the canal lA.-ater flow measurements were taken to determine losses duemainly to seepage.
Publicity was given the canal check and actual matheID�tical measurements and results are to be given to the lyman water users at their annualmeeting. It was felt that measttring losses would make USErs aware of themand provide an opportunity to bring abo�t i@proved practices now and in thefuture.
2. water Pumping and Use
The Agent cooperated with the R. E. A. the F. H. A. and the S. C. s.in putting on an irrigation school pro[ram. The R. E. A. inaugurated theprogram. It 'JaS felt that the farmers who now have pumps, and who mightin the future, could use the learning to £et greater efficiency. There isone good pump area ·in the county at the present tirr£.
The Agent chairmaned part of the program and the Irrigation andsoils Specialist also each gave very 900d presentations. Dr. Schwalen ofthe University took a very important part on the program, too.
Future plans should lnelude giving more liformatfon �n pumping tofarmers than has been done in the past, chiefly through the mails andmass media.

I. SOILS
Page ,3
There has been comparatively little fertilizer used on crops inApache County. This practice has paid off in other areas and countyfarmers could use more fertilizer for economical production.
Ouring the year a number of soil samples were taken throughoutthe county. Of course, these tests gave some indication as to soilconditions but probably the main accomplishment was the fact that farmers listened 'to our soil ammendment recommendations much better. Amongthe cooperators were Harhon Heap, Northern Arizona Cattlegrower's Director; s. n .. Ellsworth, of the Hunt areaJ and Suncrest Ranch, aboveSpringerville, showing the wide range of the problem.
In one case the Soil Conservation Service referred the farmers tothe Extension Service for assistance. Specialist help was obtained on
methods of checking soils and in interpreting test results.
Results were, that most of the approximately 10 farmers receivinghelp, in connection with soil testing, followed through by applying some
fertilizer. This was the goal, of course.
Next year we could improve the pro�ram by setting up one or two gooddemonstration farms, including the use of both commercial and manure typefertilizers.

1. County Fair
Two improvements needed for the Annual Apache County Fair, as
listed in the plan-of-work, were the need for better organization widbetter facilities. This would result in a more pleasant educationalexperience � the volunteer workers �nd other coUnty people. Also, thereis still some need for the volunteer workers to be more completely re
sponsIble for their part of conducting the Falr�
During the year the Agents met periodically with the County Fairorganization to aid in setting up plans for the yearly event. Each timethe Agent tried to stay in the background so that others would feel more
responsible. Attendance at these planning events has improved during the
past two or three years.'
The actual operation of the Fair went off more smoothly than anyprevious Fair, due to the fine job done by committee workers. Thisshould have an indirect result in stimulating more Fair activity and more
pride in agricultural work by everyone.
Support for agruculture and the Fair by the County Board of Supervisors was shown hy the assistance given in improving facilities. Eachyear the buildings and other facilities have been improved.
The County Fair also should he of some benefit in bringing the Countypeople together, since there seems to be no central gathering point.
Plans for next year should include the continuing of planning assi$tance by Extension Workers in making improvements. Possibly even more peoplecould be involved in conducting the Fair, resulting in more countywidecooperation.

The lesson on -Better Light for Better Sight� vas presented to twogroups during March. The Window Rock £TOup met on March 19th with an
attendance of 16 and the Jolly Jills (Chambers-Sanders) on March 23rdwith eight in attendance. First we discussed the physiology of the eye,causes of eye strain and how eye strain effects cur health and well-being.Then by means of the flannel�board, light meter, colored frabic swatches,different types of llgijt bulbs, etc. we discussed and illustrated thefour essentials of better li�hting.
1. Reco�mended amount of light for the task.2. Freedom from glare.3. Correct distribution.4. Correct placement.
In addition we discussed color in relation to the waiisl lampshades, bulbs and frunishings in general.
.
.
It was generally agreed that the bare bulb is the greatest offenderas far as glare is concerned.
'"
Many interesting things were brought out in this lesson. All shouldbe more conscious of proper lighting and care of their eyes.

On April 2nd Mrs. Ina B. Ward, Apache Home Agent, met with the McNaryHomemakers at their club house. The lesson was "Better Light for BetterSight." .Thls lesson was especially interesting to the seven ladles presentas they all live in company owned houses. Many of the rooms have just one
exposed bulb on a drop cord from the ceiling and very few ccnvenienceoutlets. They were pleased to know of the different type bulbs such asthe silver tipped and the new white whIch would cut down glare. Theywere also interested in the clip-on shades available. They felt that mostof their homes were inadequately lighted.
g. Agent Attends Laundry Workshop
Mrs. Ina B. Ward, Apache County Home Agent attended a Laundr,y Workshop held in Tucson February 16-20. This was an especially informativefour days. The topics covered were water softness, detergents, equipment and methods. One morning was spent at � washeteria where we washed
wool�n blankets by different methods. The entire program was excellent.
h. Flower Arranging
Flower arranging workshops were ccnducted in October by Sarah Twomeyin all the homemaker clubs in the county as well 8S the L. D. S. ReliefSociety of st. Johns. Only a dew wo�en hi the 88 attending had had enoughexperience in this art to create an attractive arrangemant. It seemedan unexplored field to most of them. Demonstrations of different kindsof arrangements were made and each woman was encouraged to try to arrangea bouquet or dry arrangement. The women became completely engrossed inthi s new artistic expression. Many of them made several arrangements on
the afternoon or evening of their meeting.
In evaluating the learning experience, questions were asked at theNovember meeting. It was learned that at least 75% of the women had madeone or more bouquets since their last meeting. Some women had made as
many as a dozen pieces. A check of the variety stores and the one floralstore in the area showed that every peice of floral mechanics had been soldsince the meetings. A floral or dry arrangement was pTought to each meetingfollowing the flower arranging workshop.
Follow-up workshops will be held in the Spring to encourage and help tthe �men progress. The Sprina workshop wIll be in conjunction with the ,County Agent in relation to Home BeautIfication.
Mrs. Ruth Hutc�1nson of Holbrook was guest arranger at the Jolly Jills
workshop.'I

The women were
immensely pleased with this lesson since it gave them recipes for tradItional old-world cookies, many of them that could be baked ahead andallowed to ripen or age for their kitchen gift boxes and for their own
cooky Jars for the busy season ahead.
The women were allowed to exper Iment with the equipment-springer1erolling pin, coo� press, pastry frames. They learned how to decoratesuch cookies as the Lebkuchen, how to store cookies, depending upon their
kind} how to wrap boxes of cookies attractively for gifts.

Sarah Twomey was employed in the EXtensIon Service only two and one -
half weeks prior to the Fair and had little to do with its early planningphases. From limited e�erience it appears that there should be betterorganization of the Home Economics department and of the girls 4-H section.
There is also need for greater active participation � 4-R members.This year several 4-H girls gave live demonstrations learned in their
proaect �rorko Nex9 year it is hoped to have many girls giving demonstratlons�
Plans are underway for the 4-H girls to run a foods bocth to sellportions of food entries to visitors at the Fair.

III. 4...H CLUB (Youth)
• A. MEMBERSHIP
1. Enrollre.ent
The enrollment was increased quite a hit in excess of the 10% good set;n the 1959 plan-or-work. Total enrollement for 19,8 was �21 end for 1959it was 523. The aim was to help more youth chrough work in 4-H. The major! t;of the increase ..ra.s on tne Navajo Reservation, This increase should continuesince more: schools are being built. on the Reservation, � work has consf ste
mainly of giving leaders assistance and frunishlng project materials for Nava,jo people. By involving the Navajo club members in county activities, boththe Navajos and the entire 4-H progran should benefit. This shoul.d be con
tinued and increased.
2. OrganizationEach community In the county presents a snme�mat different situation
as far as the type of club organizatirn which can succeed. An attempt vasuade during the year to strengthen veaker organizations through individualhelp.
SprIngerville is the most successful co��ity-organized type of clubin the county. The Valley lationa! Bank Manager was the communtiy leaderand the club perfcrm� we11. This shculd be continued next year.
In some areas the community approach wasn't so successful. In Eagar,for example much difficulty vas encountered in getting all parts of a co
mmunity group together often enough to function. In this case the proJect.groups fwictionGd separately, except for a joint achievement award programheld. at the finish of' the year, when all groups met together. Possibly itwill be best to continue in this type of situation, without a community or
ganization, at least until a complete set of more dependable leaders can belocated.
Member completions during the year correspond very cols�ly to leadercompletions. We had some ve ,y good leaders and quite a nUlJher of otherleaders who did not stay with their clubs, which hurt completion percentages.As seen by the statictlcal report some project groLps had very good complet.ions while others were extremely low... For example, in'Eagar 10 out of 12completed in livestock while some other groups. con�leted none.
An attempt was made to get new membershop In Alpine, but the newlystarted club or , girls fizzeled out. From I1nited experience, it is feltthat in new areas we should not start.a·club �t all, unless it has a verygood chance of succeeding. The first stepi:r-S:"iOUld be ,to get good depend...
abh leaders.-
,
Methods of enrolling chili members varied, from visiting the school to
enroll, to already-organIzed-clubs recruiting members at special meetings.The Springerville c1uiJ signed up much of its new membership the same eveningthat the achievement program va�-held. This seems to be the ideal way and
should te carried on as much as possible next year.

3. Projects
As in the previous year, Pl'oject enrollments 'Were higest in the fieldsof toods, clothing and livestock. The first really successful entomologyclub completed the year at st. Johns , �exhibit!ng their work at the countyfair. Also, there were more successful lamb projects than any time before.
The aim was to not only increase project work but to improve qualitywhich will make the 4-H'er more proud of his or her work and more interestedin doing everything better.
We still need to continue stimulating 4-H'e�s into achieving more
quality in their work.
4. Act!vities
A. County
(1) Achievement Programs
All clubs held achievement programs this ye�r. Most of the meetingswere attended by more than the usual numbers of parents and visitors. Thishas been one of our goals, to get parents out. We should continue en
couraging clubs to get adults to visit more often.
(2) County Fair
Events in 4-H held at the County Fair were 4-H Home Economics Judging, agricultural judging, beef calf sale, lamb sale and calf scramble.Interest in the 4-H department was greater than in any other part of theFair. Calves and lambs sold well. Calves won at the scramble, were donat�d by individual county cattlemen and by the Rotary Club, showing theirsupport.
(3) County Contest Day
Each year a day for 4-H judging and demonstration contest has beenset aside for county members to participate in. The aim is to get as manyar-eas and club members as possible represented in these contests. Thisway the pa.rticipants not only get Judging exper'Ience but learn to meet andassociate with others from different county 9.r�s.
The contest day could be improved b,y stimulating more attendance and
participation by all club members. A special program should be added to
finish off the contest day.
(4) County Livestock Day
Apache County, being a livestock county, a special 4-H and adult live
stock day has been held for the past , years, usually at some ranch. Theaim Is to get parents and other adults out to see 4-H in action and to give

B. LEADERSHIP
1.. Enrollment
The weakest part of 4-H club in Apache County during the year was
the leadership. MOre adults need to be made to realize the inportance ofhelping 4-H by leading a club.
Enrollment of leaders in the County was f'alrly high, but many did not
stay with the Job until the year was finished. Much of the better leadership is too involved in other activities to have enough time for 4-H.
More training of leaders and more recognition for them have been our
goals. To help in this, the 1st Regional Leader Training Conference was
held. at Holbrook. A fair representation of leaders attended, but meetingseven closer to home might be better. Also three leaders attended a horseproject training meeting in Scotsdale. Two Junior-leaders participated inthe Leader's Labarota� at Prescott.·
The Agents gave leader training to Navajo Extension Workers at WindowRock. Al$� many individual conferences and �lps were given to numerous
club leaders. Guidance was given at a lot of regular club meetIngs, too.
The purpose of all of this help was to make leaders feel more con
fident and important in doing the Job.
At achievement programs leaders were given special recognition .swell as newspaper publicity. However, next year, this needs to be done toan even greater degree.
leader training meetings by county areas sho�ld be held next year. Thisshould include 4-H Club officers as well. � giving training closer tohome we may be able to get better leader completions.

On Monday evening" October 26, a planning meeting of this Apache County ,:",;Brucellosis Committe:e will be held" The meeting will begin right at 7:00 P. IvI. -1so that all business can be completed. Pla ce of the meeting is the Apache County;'Ectension office in St. Johns, just around the corner from the Arcadia Theatre. jDr. G. Carl Thompson, Federal Veterinarian, is being invited to attend the meeting;to answer questions arising concerning testing.
I
In order to be re-certified, Apache County must test 1/5 of the cattJe herdsand 20% of the cattle in these herds by July 1, 1960. It will be up to the comm
ittee to decide which 1/5 will be teste:i this first time, as well as to set uptheir testing order for future re-certifications, which will come every three years.In other words, you will be setting up the plan, in this meeting, to cover a
period of 15 years.
Those who produce registerEd cattle or lJWl1 milking stock must hive all of thmeanimals t est Ed.
Also,. we will need to spend a little time checking over the list of cattlanan:from 69 ch portion of th e county, to bring it up-to-dat e.
I'm sure you can see the iYTInortance of getting the county re-certified., AccordinR to the law, after July 1, 1960 no cattle can be shipped out of the countywithout being blood-tested, unless Apache County qualifies for re-certification.
Will you be sure to come to this me�ting and r epr ee ent your area. 'If youcan't possibly make it, would you please send a good substitute, one who knowsyour area and the cattle cmnE:T's ..
By getting the ITogram under way now, we can be sure to finish by next July ..
Some herds which can be teste1 oonveniently new may be hard to get to ]a ter andvic e-v €rsa e.
See you Honday Oct. 26, 7:00 P, M. at the County Ectmsion Office.'
