| spellingShingle | Whitford, Fred 1955- Planting the seeds of hope Indiana County extension agents during the Great Depression and World War II Pioneering a new field of work (1887-1928) -- Neither the agent nor his farmer-Constituents knew very much about what to expect of one another -- Outlasting the Great Depression (1929-1939) -- The shattering, sledge hammer economic blows of the Depression -- Building support through advisory boards -- Does the County Agent do anybody or group of farmers any good or justify his expense? -- Live out of the garden, the smoke house, and cellar -- Cash is the one article that is scarcest and hardest to get -- The man with the high-producing soil, hen, cow, and sow that kept operating expense down was able to return a profit -- Farmers hanging on by a mere thread reached out for benefit payments to save their farms -- Conservation of soil Is the solution on which will hang future Extension activities -- Erosion is one of the major problems which must be faced -- Land use planning not altogether a new idea -- Extension work interrupted by extreme droughts and flood -- There is convenience and satisfaction of flipping a switch and getting light -- Shall I sell one team on a four-horse farm and buy a tractor? -- The average farmer has not learned the principles of economic uses of wood lots -- Hybrid corn is with us to stay until something is found to take its place -- The necessity of knowing the soil before a good crop can be produced -- Growing wheat is one thing and growing quality wheat is another -- Farmers on the lookout for some new or different crop that offers more promise for fair returns -- Not more cows but fewer and better dairy cows is the imperative need -- Sheep have a place on most every farm -- Runts and diseased pigs seldom lift the mortgage -- A bushel basket of eggs brings In as much money as 100 bushels of corn -- The life of an Extension worker Is an honorable occupation and an interesting one -- Soldiers of the soil during World War II (1940-1945) -- Fitting the Extension Program to wartime conditions has required some "give and take" -- The County Agent is expected to be a walking encyclopedia on government programs -- Production goals that looked impossible were reached -- Higher hog, dairy, and poultry prices created an interest like never before -- For patriotic reasons as well as for profit, acreage has been expanded -- Tomatoes have become a major crop -- The total increase in home production and consumption would be a staggering amount of food -- The Armed Forces have taken 1,500 men, including farmers.
