Missouri extension service seeks state funds for expansion
Dean F B Mumford of the Missouri College of Agriculture asks the 56th General Assembly for larger state appropriations to match federal funds for Extension Service. Current federal aid of 436 535.12 would fund fourteen new county agents and seven home demonstration agents, boosting Missouri’s 64 county agents across 76 counties. Counties have funded the service to sustain it amid budget strains, but many poorer counties cannot pay salaries. If state support is not increased, district counties will lose federal dollars and the program will shrink just as needs rise.
