Abstract
"The effectiveness of Cooperative Extension Service in achieving its mission," according to the Joint USDA/NASULGC Extension Study Committee, "will be to a large extent determined by how well the staff integrates the entire process of continuing education with an over-all strategy of education." The strategy, according to the Committee, must include planning and preparation. More specifically, the committee states that "as Extension programs expand into new areas and aquire more depth in old ones, there is continuing need for effective integration of research and extension activity..." The demands for such undertakings suggest the need for more systematic means of planning. The author of this article proposes an Extension-research systems approach to planning. --The editor.
