BOx <br /> Concord, North Carolina 2802~ <br /> February 2~,' 1~77 <br /> <br /> SUBJECT: Proposal for "Cross County~Extension Agent <br /> <br /> J. Paul Bowles, Cobarrus County ~gricultural Extension Agent, is retiring February 28. <br /> His counterpart in Stanly County is retiring on the same date. <br /> <br />To supply more subject matter expertise in filling these two'positionS the State- <br />Extension Administration would like, with approval of commissioners of both counties, <br />to employ "cross county" agents. <br /> <br />~e proposed plan would locate au agent inStanly County to do dairy work in .both <br />Stanly and Cobarrus Counties. In exchange for dairy work received, the agent located <br />in Cabarrus County would do swine work in both counties. The Cabarrus agent would <br />also do beef cattle work in Cabarrus only. <br /> <br />There would be no split salaries. Cabarrus County would pay about fifty percent of <br />the salary of the agent located in Cabarrus and the state would do the same. <br /> <br />This ~cross county" plan is in operation in several counties in North Carolina and is <br />quite satisfactory. In addition to an agent having opportunity to become more <br />qualified in a subject matter, it would be easier for hi~ to draw upon more specialists <br />and research people for a two-county program. <br /> <br /> <br />
