What the Livestock Interests of the Southwestern Range States Expect from Research Workers and Teachers in Animal Husbandry

New Mexico

Abstract

In approaching this subject it is only fair to state that the following discussion will naturally have the viewpoint of the extension man rather than that of the technical research worker or college teacher. Sound agricultural college policy requires that the research worker, the college instructor, and the extension man should reinforce each other in any program for the betterment and stabilizing of agriculture. The field of animal production is no exception to the rule. Each of these three forces must make a distinct contribution to the solution of our problems. The research man must establish the firm foundation of scientific truth on which the agricultural structure is to be built. The instructor and extension men must then establish these truths in the minds of the college students and as the accepted practices on the farms and ranches of the nation. The particular contribution that the extension man can make, in addition to the one mentioned, and one in which the true research worker will be interested, will be to bring to the attention of the research forces those problems that are of major importance in any given field.
