FOOD FOR THOUGHT

More and more we are coming to

sick person. 1t is so important that

scribe the definite type of food which

To the person in bed. the three

istence. A sick person is usually
dOubly appreeiative of an attractive
meal. but may also be doubly critical
Of poor one.
Such things as clean linen, food
which is easy to handle. particular
attention to the patients likes and
dislikes a secure place on which TO
rest the tray-all these can do much
toward persuading a tickle appetite

vantages of the new Act, and on July
!, 1914, Harry Hayward. then Dean
of the School of Agriculture at Del
aware College, now the University of
Delaware, was named the first State
Director of Extension.
That the idea was not a new one,
is revealed by a short dip into his
tory which shows that extension
work was actually carried on in Del
aware as early as 1911. In that year.
the Delaware Legislature appropri-
ated funds to make 1t possible to
send workers from the College over
the State to give public lectures. In
addition, the same appropriation pro-
vided for the distribution of improv-
ed varieties of seeds.
The Smith-Lever Act made avail
able to Delaware a direct grant OF
$4,000 annually and provided for
annual increases in the grant, the
amount to be based on rural popula'
tion and to be matched by State
funds before, becoming available.
The first County Extension Agent
in Delaware was Lee H. Cooch. who
was named County Agricultural
Agent for New Castle county, in Au-
gust, 1914. Later that same year, NJ.
o. Pence was appointed County Agri-
cultural Agent in Kent county and
w. c. Pelton was named County Ag-
ricultural Agent for Sussex county.
Work with the rural youth of Del
aware also started officially in Del
aware in 1914 with the appointment
of Mrs. Nellie F. Snyder as a CO.
operative agent of the U. s. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Mrs. Snyder
worked with the three county agri-
cultural agents and enrolled a num-
ber of boys and girls in corn and

I~e"ty:9th Anniversary Of Ag.
Extension Work In U.S.. Celebrated

| permanent phases of Agricultural
Extension work were in operation.
Much Of the early extension work
was directed toward increasing crop
yields. Fertilizer demonstrations on
corn, wheat and hay; orchard prun-
ing, and top dressing with nitI ate of
soda about covered the field of ex-
tension activity, but the agents were
active in hog cholera vaccination
work, helped select a few dairy ami
mails and culled few poultry fiOcks.
The remainder of their time was
spent in making personal calls on
farmers in order to discuss indivld-
ual problems.
The work Of All Club members
was confined to corn and canning
clubs while the first Home DemOn-
stratiOn work included canning and
clothing work.
A comparison of the work of the
early agents with that of the agents
now in the counties provides meas
ure Of the growth of Extension Work
in Delaware. For instance. as shown
by the reports of the County Agrl-
cultural Agents, there were 1895
farm visits made in 1915: 43O ONCE
calls; 179 meetings were held with
a total attendance of S.41l, and there
were eleven All Clubs with a total
membership Of 1872.
In 1898, the County Agricultural
Agents made 3.116 farm visits;
there were 27.272 office calls; 355
meetings were held with a total at
tendance of 20,44O and there were 81
organized All Clubs with total
membership of 1.466.
Since the early days nf extension
work. the Delaware Agricultural FIX
tension Service has grown steadily.
both in man power and responsible
ity. In 1898, the combined efforts Of
the various extension agents in the
three counties resulted in 2.742 edu-
cational meetings with total atten-
dance of 65,197 people; 31.966 Office
calls and $3.50 farm ami home visits. |
To supplement the work of the
agents and specialists, the Delaware |
Extension Service. in 193S, printed !
and distributed 124.65O bulletins and
Another change in extension work |
has been noted. Gradually the ef-
forts shifted from increasing yields |
to balancing production with de-
mands and market conditions so that !
the chief objective of extension work /
is now a Better Rural life"
=. Today. after 25 years, the. -pela-
