Help Farmers by Agricultural Extension 



In (irik-r to (IctiTiiiinc the cllkieiuy 

 of the dillercnt I'oriiis of agricultural 

 extension education, surveys were 

 made in four sections of the I'nited 

 States by which method 3,()!)<S farmers 

 in fourteen slates were personally in- 

 terviewed. Of these, about one farmer 

 in every 1.5 visited takes a farm paper; 

 one in 2.3 receives agricultural bul- 

 letins; one in 3.3 attends farmers' insti- 

 tutes; one in (>..') belongs to some agri- 

 cultural oiganization; one in 14.5 writes 

 to agricultural institutions for advice; 

 one In 23.8 has a few farm books; one 

 in eleven gets personal instruction 

 from agricultui-al demonstration agents 

 in the South, and one in 1.59 in the 

 North gets such personal instruction. 

 One farmer in every 2.3 stated that 

 none of the above agencies were help- 

 ful in his farming; one in 0.3 said the 

 farmers' bulletins were the most help- 

 ful; one in 3.(1 i)referred farmers' insti- 

 tutes; one in 411.3 claimed farm papers 

 as being the most helpful; one in 4.5 

 stated that all agencies were equally 

 valuable; one in 43.7 said that expe- 

 rience was the only valuable teacher.
