Abstract
Excerpt: To measure the progress and effectiveness of extension teaching the study reported in this circular was undertaken by the Office of Cooperative Extension Work, United States Department of Agriculture, and the Extension Service, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois in cooperation. Although the primary purpose of the study was to obtain data regarding the improved practices adopted by farmers and home makers as the result of extension teaching, and to evaluate the means and agencies which had influenced the acceptance of these practices, the study was also planned so as to give a large number of extension workers first-hand information regarding present farm and home conditions in typical areas, and to acquaint them with the survey method of studying extension problems.
