Extension 15 Years of Texas A&M Farm Extension Service
In Bexar County the 25th anniversary marks the Texas A and M College farm extension service begun after the Smith Lever Act. Clarence Ousley became director in 1914, with the first agents arriving in East Antonio. The program boosted crop and livestock production, raised rural living standards, and aided communities through crises including World War I, the 1929 depression, and rural-urban shifts. The extension aims to adapt with urbanized agriculture, focusing on district-based agents, specialists at the college, and county coordination to spread demonstrations and practical farming knowledge.
