Extension Service urged to rely on veterinarians
Federal Extension Service director M. L. Wilson told the American Veterinary Medical Association that extension workers should avoid usurping veterinary roles. He urged agents to seek veterinarians for livestock care, using extension to raise farm incomes and provide education. The note cited rare cases of agent involvement in animal disease work where veterinarians are scarce, with a shift toward veterinary guidance. Dr. A. E. Wright became president of the Veterinary Association, with Dr. Harry W. Jakeman as president-elect and Dr. M. Jacob as treasurer for a 23rd term.
