Historical context
Extension-type work began in New Mexico in the 1900s. At that time College began conducting farmers’ institutes. These were continued until the organization of the Extension Service in 1914. From 1907 to the end of 1909 the College had one worker spend considerable time trying to perfect the county farmers’ institute societies in several counties.
