Feature Articles
Critique: A People and a Spirit (pdf)
Virginia R. Griffin
Where a book raises your spirit, and inspires you with noble and courageous feelings, seek for no other rule to judge the event by; it is good and made by a good workman. -- Jean de la Bruyère
Supply-and Demand-Activated Systems (pdf)
Robert L. Bruce
A systems approach to planning was posed by Duft in the Fall issue of this journal. This article examines the idea that Extension information processes can be divided into two types-supply-activated and demand-activated. The supply-activated process is a one-way flow of information, while the demand-activated process is one of information retrieval. The author not only discusses the significance of these processes, but also their importance to Extension.
The Time of Our Lives (pdf)
Edgar Dale
Time is a valuable commodity to be used reasonably and sensitively.
Who Joins Farm Organizations? (pdf)
Chanoch Jacobsen
Those who work with farmers in educational and other programs are always seeking ways of working with clientele on a collective basis rather than a one-to-one basis. However, at this point, our ability to characterize those who seek out or submit themselves to organized efforts is limited. This article reviews the differences between farmers who join general farm organizations and those who don't. The author discusses involvement in farming, relevant felt needs, and anticipated success as factors that may influence joining.
Making the University Accessible (pdf)
David L. Jensen, George B. Strother
A university fully realizes its potential when it reaches all of the people who support and can benefit from its resources and when what the university has to offer makes a difference in the lives of people. Bringing the university into the mainstream of society requires experts-Extension workers. However, the Extension worker cannot accomplish this mission by being a passive extender. The university has certain characteristics that should be understood; Extension has opportunities and obligations.
