In 1910, due to such popularity in the past agriculture courses, additional courses in this field of study were offered. In the month of September of 1911, Mr. White of Frisco Railroads gave a speech Gospel of Agriculture to an audience at the school, which included Mr. Carrington. During the spring of 1911, the six acres of land that was devoted to model farming was divided up for specific uses. Two acres were set out for an orchard, two were going to be immediately farmed for profit, and the remaining two acres were going to be divided up into small demonstration plots. In the Spring of 1912 Professor Fletcher of the Ag department had a class doing extension work in Webb City.
