Cooperative Extension Resources
by Deborah Taylor-Hough

Last summer, my oldest daughter took a beginning sewing class
through the local Cooperative Extension office. For only $10, she
received sixteen hours of instruction over four days. The classes
were taught by Master Clothiers, and the teacher/student ratio was
excellent -- only three students per teacher. If you live in the
United States, try calling your local County Extension office and
asking about their various programs for the public (they're
affiliated with one of your local state universities and the US
Department of Agriculture).

I'm always impressed with the excellent (and highly affordable!)
resources available through their offices. They often have
articles, pamphlets, classes and other resources for minimal cost.

Many of the Cooperative Extension publications are also available
online. I've been especially pleased with the wide range of
articles provided on the North Dakota Cooperative Extension web-
site. If you'd like to browse some of these free resources, go
to:
