FARMER AND
RANCHER RESOURCES GUIDE TO BE RELEASED
Copies of the Kansas Family Farmer and Rancher Resources and
Services Guide were mailed to county and area offices during the last
two weeks. A press release is planned for the week of March 11. The
articles and radio spots will refer producers to the county offices for
a copy or further information. We anticipate a large response to this
publication.
In order to allow adequate time for
copies of the publication to be ordered into county offices, each county
may order up to 10 copies beginning today. The publication is free;
however, the county will pay the postage. The publication is also
available on the oznet library at http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/agec2/mf2544.pdf
.
Contact is Jana Beckman, jabeckma@oznet.ksu.edu
, KCSAAC coordinator, 785-532-1440. --Jana Beckman
COMMUNICATION
AND STYLE GUIDE
By now, you should have received a copy of the Communication and
Style Guide. (This will replace the ID Guide from 2000.) In the
Communication and Style Guide, you will find guidelines for logo usage,
letters, stationery formats, terminology and titles, publications, Web
pages, marketing, specialty items and much more. It also lists resources
within the Department of Communication and guidelines for making Web
pages accessibility compliant. We encourage you to store this guide with
the K-State Research and Extension directory and refer to it when
communication questions arise.
If you have not yet received your copy of
the Communications and Style Guide, please contact Linda Sleichter at lsleicht@oznet.ksu.edu
. An electronic version of the guide will be available on the marketing
Website at http://intranet.oznet.ksu.edu/marketing

NEW 4-H DOG SHOW
RULES
Effective January 1, 2002, the Kansas 4-H Dog Care and Training
Action Team approved the following disqualifications where NO RIBBON
would be given for all classes in Showmanship, Obedience and Agility:
1. Dogs/handlers dismissed from the ring
BY JUDGE due to:
* Dog leaving ring or out of
control
* Dog being overly aggressive
* Handler using abusive language or unsportsmanlike conduct
2. Baiting dog - Automatic
Disqualification
The Dog Care and Training Action Team
recognizes that many counties were already doing this and chose to
maintain the high standards of the project by implementing these ideals
at the state level. Please share this information with your leaders,
members and judges by having them insert it in their current Rule Books
until the next printing is available. --Jim Adams jadams@oznet.ksu.edu
4-H FAIR JUDGES

The Seven-County FACS Teaching Block in the northeast area

& Crafts, and Photography will be offered at each clinic.
Anyone with a hobby, interest, or
expertise in any of the four project areas is encouraged to attend.
