Dear Readers:

Happy New Year from your Journal of Extension. We hope that you have found your Journal useful and informative during the past year and we look forward to bringing you more articles that will help you during 1997.

The Journal welcomes articles from all parts of the Extension System. In fact, we might issue a challenge to the other 49 states to match the output of Ohio Extension agents and specialists.

We look forward to hearing from you in 1997 as your Journal works to become an even better resources to Extension people.
