Publisher's Synopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... Distribution of Lines of Service. It will be seen from Table H that the more practical and stable lines of work have the greatest distribution. These are agronomy, animal husbandry, dairy production, farm management, horticulture, poultry and soil management. These lines of work are administered through such well established group activities as farmers' institutes, boys' and girls' club work, county agent work, and in all probability, through the medium of lecture courses, short courses and extension schools, although Table I does not signify that to be the case. The questionnaire was not specific on that point and the results are not complete. The Character of Extension Work. Table J represents a compilation of items that characterize each department of extension work. This compilation does not indicate thatftny one agricultural college is doing all of the extension work indicated under any specific department head. It shows what is being done collectively and what might be done by any institution. The information was taken from the questionnaires, correspondence, directors' reports, reports of former committees on extension, the proceedings of Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations and Circular # 7 of the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
