Extension Serves All The Division of Extension carries new knowledge to all Kansas. Agricultural agents, home demonstra- tion agents, and 4-H workers extend the classroom to every Kansas county, spreading knowledge through newspaper articles, demonstrations, radio talks, and personal visits. Dealing mostly with agri- culture and home economics, they aim to give Kan- sans the latest research results, techniques, and scientific information. Extension Service is supported by federal, state, and county funds. A new section, general extension, was added this year with Carl Tjerandsen as di- rector. Correspondence courses from the extension division are offered in many subjects, and students in Kansas, other states, and several foreign countries are enrolled. The new head of the home study division is Herbert Maccoby. EXTENSION HEADS— TOP ROW: W. G. Amstein, agricultural specialist; Harry C. Baird, district agent; Frank 0. Blecha, district agent; John M.
