Abstract:
This collection includes a fairly complete record of the activities of county agents in Wisconsin between 1912 and 1916. Correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, syllabi, and ephemera illustrate the day to day work of county agents. E. L. Luther was the first county agent in the state of Wisconsin and the first county agent in the United States to be supported wholly by public funds. Luther was appointed county agent for Oneida County in February, 1912 and served until January 1914 when he became the State Supervisor of County Agricultural Representatives. Luther's correspondence describes his interactions with farmers, local businesses, and educational institutions. There is considerable correspondence between Luther and Secretary of Agricultural Extension K. L. Hatch, officials of the College of Agriculture, and early county agents such as A. W. Hopkins.
