Dr Knapp's Texas extension impact and county agents
In 1908 Dr Seaman A Knapp arrived in Texas to demonstrate agricultural methods on the Porter farm, launching a nationwide extension system. Texas now employs agents in 252 of 254 counties as a key to defending crops like the higil weevil. The federal government expanded the program in 1904, turning it into a landmark adult education effort. Knapp stressed learning by doing with the maxim what a man does himself he cannot doubt.
