The Farmer and the College in Wisconsin’s Era
A 1909 commentary argues education should farm directly, not away from it, praising Wisconsin University extension. It notes two year course for farmers, the dean Henry, and mail based university extension reaching 1200 students by 1908, aiming to bring university knowledge to every farm in the state. It cites farmer testimonials on increased butter yield and presses broader dissemination of agricultural learning.
