Abstract: This search aimed to acknowledging the opinions of interviewed agricultural extension agents in the degree of suitability of editing and designing some technical pamphlets issued by inheritance agricultural en¬gineering research institute, also determining the most important vari¬ables affecting on Editing and designing these pamphlets.

-There was positive significant correlation relationship between the fol¬lowing independent variables Job satisfaction, degree of dependence on sources of Agricultural information, participation in social Organiza¬tions, degree of care about reading of technical bulletins and pamphlets, interviewees motivation towards knowledge change (on the 0.01 level), degree of knowledge about the objectives of Agricultural inheri¬tance engineering (on the 0.05 level), and the opinion of the interview¬ees about the degree of suitability of editing elements of some techni¬cal pamphlets issued by the agricultural inheritance engineering research Institute.
-There was positive significant correlation on the 0.01 level, between degree of dependence on sources of agricultural information, participa¬tion in social organizations, degree of care about reading technical bulletins and pamphlets, interviewees motivation towards knowledge change and between the interviewees opinions about the degree of suitability of designing elements of some technical pamphlets issued by agricultural inheritance engineering research institute.
