Dean denounces Reagan cuts to Kansas State extension
Walter R. Woods, dean of agriculture and director of the KSU agricultural experiment station, warned at a Topeka news conference that the Reagan FY1987 budget would cut 59 percent from the Extension Service, threatening 4-H, homemaker, nutrition, and PRIDE programs and risking 36,000 Kansans' volunteer efforts. He urged citizen action to urge Congress to reject the cuts and preserve local co‑operative extension programs.
