Texas Extension Service marks Diamond Anniversary with history tale
Texas county agents trace the Extension Service from 1906 in Smith County to the 1990s programs. The history highlights W C Stallings on the Porter farm near Terrell, droughts, floods, VEE outbreaks, and WWI food efforts. Urban gardening, coastal marine agents, and integrated pest management are noted as growth areas.
