Extension teaching Is defined In
Section 1 of the Smith-Lever Act as
an effort “to aid in the diffusing among
tlie people of the United States useful
and practical information on subjects
relating to agriculture and home eco
nomics, and to encourage tlie applica
tion of the same.” it Is provided that,
pending the Inauguration and develoit-
uient of the co-operative extension
work, nothing in the Smith-Lever Ex
tension Act shall be construed as dis
continuing the farmers’ co-operative
demonstration work which lias already
been in progress in Georgia several
years. Fifty thousand dollars a year
have been available from this source
for some time past and this appropri
ation has been wisely continued up to
the present time. It is well to bear
in mind that the state is expected to
offset tlie above fund through local
subscriptions just as definitely as the
funds are available under the Smith-
Lever act. This statement will, no
doabt, clarify the situation for many
and will explain why the counties are
called on to appropriate funds to aid
In defraying the salaries and expenses
of both men and women county agents.
Moreover, since the passage of the
Smith-Lever Act, the States Relation
Service has been established by Act
of Congress. This office is intended
to act as a clearing house between
the United States Department of Ag
riculture and the agricultural colleges
in tbe several states. Since many bu
reaus of the United States Department
of Agriculture have funds at their
disposal for expenditure on various
projects to be conducted in associa
tion with the state colleges of agri
culture, the usual half and half basis
adopted as a policy by Congress and
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, Georgia, for instance, is ex
pected to offset at the present time
over $85,0*0 of what may be termed
indirect congressional appropriations,
or see the funds withheld and used
elsewhere. Since the above appropri
ations are being increased from time
to time, it is reasonable to suppose
that the state will always be called
upon to finance extension projects out
of the money provided by local sub
scriptions aside from those set aside
by the General Assembly of the state
to offset the Smith-Lever act.
The work which may be properly
conducted under the terms of the
Smith-Lever act is definitely stated in
Section 2, which reads as follows :
"That co-operative agricultural exten
sion work shall consist of the giving
of instruction and practical demonstra
tion in agriculture and home econom
ics to persons not attending or resi
dent in said colleges in the several
communities, and imparting to such
persons information on said subjects
through field demonstrations, publica
tions and otherwise; and this work
shall bo carried on in such manner as
may be mutually agreed upon by the
Secretary of Agriculture and the state
agricultural colleges receiving the
benefits of this act.”
From the context of the preceding
paragraph, it appears that co-operative
agricultural extension work shall con
sist primarily in giving instruction,
and, second, practical demonstrations
in agricultural and home economics
to persons non-resident at the agricul
tural college. Tlie teaching work pro
vided for shall be made clear through
field and home demonstrations, publi
cations and otherwise. Correspond
ence, of course, may often be con
ducted to advantage, and personal con
ferences be held with an individual
or a group of persons. It is expected
that the county agent shall be a prop
erly educated and qualified expert in
agriculture or home economics, and so
capable of diffusing essential informa
tion of benefit to all the activities re
lating to the school, the farm and the
home. The agent should be essential
ly a teacher and must work with and
through the schools, thus aiding mate
rially in laying tlie proper foundation
on which to build up scientific elemen
tary instruction in agriculture and
home economics, and so successfully
correlate the activities of the school
room to those of the home—a funda
mental undertaking, the importance of
which every thoughtful person is al
ready fully convinced.
The county agents should be prima
rily regarded as a teacher and adviser
to all of the people of the county,
whether they are attending school or
at work in the field or the home. He
should be capable of rendering most
valuable service and aid to the school
teachers through the county school
commissioner and the county board
of education, and through the adult
population through personal contact
with them as they follow their voca
tions in the field and in the home.
Funds appropriated to aid in the main
tenance of the county agents from
whatever source derived would seem
to constitute a just and legitimate ex
penditure of public money available
for education or for the promotion of
any public service work performed
in the interest of all of the people
of the county.
