Abstract
"In connection with the January, 1928, Farmers Week held at the College of Agriculture, two general assemblies were devoted to consideration of the agricultural situation in Missouri. The first assembly disclosed a long list of ailments. The second assembly considered, with little success, possible remedies and adjourned after passing the following motion: 'That the Dean of the College of Agriculture be requested to appoint a representative committee which, through proper sub-committees, shall formulate a tentative program for Missouri agriculture and farm life based on the deliberations of the past two days (January 18 and 19) and that the tentative report, or reports, of said committee shall be submitted for consideration and approval at the next Missouri Farmers Week.' In accordance with the foregoing motion, Dean F. B. Mumford appointed the general committee with sub-committees listed at the close of this booklet. The reports of the committee appear in the following pages with some slight abridgement of introductory statements in order to conserve space. The sub-committee reports were considered and revised by sectional groups of farmers during the October, 1928, Farmers Week, and finally the report as a whole was considered and adopted by a mass meeting of all Farmers Week visitors October 26, 1928. Many agencies including the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture are vitally concerned with the development of Missouris farm and home interests. The program outlined in the following pages, prepared by men and women who live on, or operate, Missouri farms, may properly serve as a guide to all such agencies. It is with this thought and purpose that the 'Program for Agriculture' is published as a Project Announcement of the Agricultural Extension Service"--Foreword.
