Urban and Rural Differentials in Change in the Agricultural Phase of Adult Extension Work in Selected Tennessee Counties, 1941-1961

Purposes of the Study: 1. To compare trends in the amounts of emphasis (staff time) placed on adult agricultural work, non-agricultural work and Extension organization, planning, evaluations and reporting by staff members in the four urban counties (Davidson, Hamilton, Knox and Shelby), and in four selected rural agricultural counties (Franklin, Gibson, Greene and Marshall) in Tennessee for the years 1941 through 1961.

2. To consider other changes taking place (e.g. the nature of the objectives, teaching methods used and strengths and weaknesses) in adult agricultural work during the time period 1941-1961 in the selected counties.
