About This Book

The report reviews a decade of agricultural extension efforts among Black farm and home communities in the Southern United States, assessing land ownership, living conditions, and economic trends. It traces the early development of demonstration work and institutional partnerships with land-grant and private schools, and describes organizational evolution including cooperative associations, movable schools, and club programs for boys and girls. It outlines methods and personnel growth, home and farm demonstration techniques, and collaborations with other agencies. Illustrated case studies summarize demonstrable improvements in housing, crop and livestock practices, and household management. The work concludes with statistics and an outlook for continued expansion of extension services.
