Data were collected in through may and Juni monthes 2006 by personal interview using a questionnaire from random sample amounting to 120 respondents which representing about 50 % of the total numbers of the extension field agents in the selection districts .
Frequency and percentages distribution, arithmetic means, standard deviation, person simple correlation coefficient the determining coefficient , (f) test , multible correlation coefficient , and (t) test were used as tools for statistical analysis.
The main results of this study were as follow:
1- 88 % of respondents were with averageages between ( 39 – 49 ) years and it may increases.
