Kansas farmers embrace education and extension work
In Kansas barber shops, trains, and farms farmers discuss sweet clover and Hessian fly, aided by county agents and the farm bureau. The state has built a broad extension program with 430 Farmers Institutes, multiple extension schools, and welfare committees, funded by a $50,000 yearly appropriation and Smith Lever support.
