Historical Note
The University of Arizona Cooperative Extension Service was formed in
1915 under the provisions of the Federal Smith-Lever Act. As a division of the
University of Arizona College of Agriculture the goals of the Cooperative
Agricultural Extension Service are to provided instruction regarding farming
and home economics for the improvement of farming practices and production; in
short, to make scientific discovery and methods available to the public. By the
1930's weekly publications from the Extension Service regarding issues of
economic change and dry farming agriculture were widely distributed for the
benefit of Arizona farm families. The Extension Service also assists in 4-H
projects; Indian reservation outreach education; assists in forming organized
homemakers clubs; and supports community based agricultural projects.
