It has a 320 acre irrigated farm adjoining the campus and a 600 acre non-irrigated farm at Fort Ellis, both of which are used for experimental work. Branches of the home station are located at Moccasin, Havre and Corvallis. It cooperates also with the Federal Sta- tions at Miles City and at Huntley. The Montana Agricultural Experiment Station, as the name implies, carries on experimental work through the following departments: agrono- my, animal husbandry, horticulture, agricultural engineering, irrigation, Montana Grain Inspection Laboratory, chemistry, entomology, botany, bac- teriology, veterinary science, agricultural economics and home economics. The station also has cooperative relationships with the Federal bureaus of animal industry, plant industry, chemistry and soils, and agricultural economics. This cooperative relationship includes Work in agricultural eco- nomics, livestock, soil survey, and cereal and forage crops. Experimental truths learned by the Montana Station, plus those avail- able through its Federal contacts and with other experiment stations, are made available to farmers and ranchers of the state by turning over the information to the Montana Extension Service, and by distribution of bulle- tins and circulars. ' Extension Service The Montana Extension Service has its headquarters at Montana State College. They include the offices of the county agent leader, the state leader of home demonstration work, the state 4-H club leader, and specialists in economics, livestock, dairy, agronomy, horticulture, poultry, nutrition, clothing, home management and others. Cooperative extension work was officially established by the Federal Smith-Lever Act in 1914. It is a national movement under the U. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture headed by Henry A. Wallace but directly under the leadership of C. W. Warburton, director of extension work, Washington, D. C. The Montana Extension Service has county agents located in the various counties. These men and women extend the information obtained through the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experi- ment Station so it reaches into the homes of farmers and ranchers of Mon- tana. There are 34 men agents and nine women or home demonstration agents. In addition there are 10 emergency agents. Since the advent of the agricultural adjustment programs the Montana Extension Service has demonstrated its flexibility by giving its assistance promptly and efficiently to the administering of the programs.
