History of Extension Work in Virginia Prior to Smith-Lever.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hillison, John; Sutphin, Cathy M. – Journal of Extension, 1999
Before the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, agricultural schools begun in 11 Virginia congressional districts in 1908 performed a great deal of extension work, such as agricultural demonstrations, youth activities, and home economics programs. This helped pave the way for formal extension programs established by the legislation. (SK)
