Historical NoteReturn to Top

On July 24, 1911, Oregon Agricultural College's Board of Regents organized the Oregon Extension Service in response to requests from citizens of Oregon for assistance (particularly in agriculture) from the college. R.D. Hetzel, professor of political science, was named as the first director of the Extension Service. The first county extension agents began in Marion and Wallowa Counties in September of 1912. Legislation permitting counties to appropriate money for extension work that would be matched by state funds was enacted in 1913.

In May of 1914, nearly three years after Oregon had established its Extension Service, President Woodrow Wilson signed the federal Smith-Lever law, which provided federal money for the establishment of extension services in all states for developing off-campus programs, primarily in agriculture and home economics. The first home extension agents were hired in August 1917 to do wartime emergency work; several of the agents were retained by counties after World War I. By 1937, all counties had at least one county extension agent.

During the Extension Service's first forty years, it concentrated on three traditional programmatic areas -- agriculture, home economics, and 4-H. After World War II, four other program areas were added -- forestry (late 1940s), the Marine Advisory Program (late 1940s and greatly expanded in the 1960s), Community Resource Development (1960s), and the Energy Extension Service (1970s). Traditionally, the Extension Service Director reported to (or was) the Dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences. In 1993, as part of a university-wide reorganization, the OSU Extension Service was made part of the Office of Extended Education, which reported to the university's Provost.

Frank L. Ballard graduated from Oregon Agricultural College in 1916 and returned to his native state of New Hampshire where he worked as a county agent for one year. He came back to Oregon in 1917 as a specialist in rural organization and agricultural economics for the Extension Service. During the next 45 years, he served as County Agent Leader, Vice Director, Extension Agriculture Editor of Publications, and Associate Director of the Extension Service in Oregon. He contributed to many leading farm magazines and gained national renown as an agricultural journalist.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

The Extension Service Photographs document Extension programs, activities, and staff throughout Oregon as well as Oregon agriculture. The bulk of the collection pertains to the three traditional Extension programmatic areas -- agriculture, home economics, and 4-H. The photographs depict Extension Service programs and staff from all regions of Oregon; however, Benton, Clatsop, Klamath, and Lane Counties are strongly represented.

Of particular note are images of Braceros and other migrant agricultural laborers; County extension offices (exterior and interior views) and staff; the Dairy Demonstration Train; 4-H club activities and summer school; and soil conservation and dune stabilization. Many individuals farms and ranches are identified; numerous images of the Oliver Ranch in Grant County are part of the collection.

Photographers are not identified for most of the images, but they were primarily taken by Extension Service staff. Photographers and studios of note with images in the collection include the Columbia Commercial Studio (Portland), Asahel Curtis (Seattle), Benjamin A. Gifford, Arthur M. Prentiss, and the Weister Company,

The collection includes a variety of formats. The bulk of the collection consists of b/w prints, but it also includes color prints, b/w and color film negatives, nitrate negatives, color slides, digital prints, and panoramic prints.

Images from the collection are available online in the Best of the Archives and Braceros in Oregon digital collections.

July 1944
1
P062:723: Windswept Clatsop plains, Oregon
this area once supported luxuriant herbaceous cover, but over-grazing by livestock converted the plains into a veritable Sahara. A portion of the area has now been initially stabilized with European beachgrass
July 1937
1
P062:724: Seven years of stabilization
the area is again vegetated, but permanent cover can be maintained only by seeding in adapted long-lived grasses and legumes or woody species; a hard- surfaced road in the foreground provides a means of getting around over the land
July 1937

P062:725: The first step -- initial stabilization of the windswept Marine dune area, near Warrenton (Clatsop County) has been accomplished with sand-stilling European beachgrass

July 1944
1
P062:727: Near Warrenton (Clatsop County)
a typical scene of destruction and reconstruction - two long graceful grass covered parallel dunes once crossed this area with a meadowed valley between them. Overgrazing caused blow-outs until only dune remnants and a trough of shifting sand gave testimony to the havoc wrought by denudation. The dune ridges are being reconstructed by use of vegetation. European beachgrass was planted in February 1937
July 1937

P062:730: Seven years have made a change
denuded sand -- initial stabilization with European beachgrass -- permanent stabilization developments with sod-forming grasses and legumes. These have been the steps on the path of progress leading to establishment of hard surfaced access roads and other permanent developments in this area
July 1944
1
P062:731: Initial stabilization with well spaced hills of European beachgrass
each hill is an individual barrier as noted by the sand deposit around each plant
July 1944
1
P062:732: Succession moves fast
European beachgrass has been replaced by Purple beach pea and Seashore bluegrass which were seeded into the beachgrass after two years of growth. These species offer a more permanent form of stabilization than beachgrass
May 1943
1
P062:733: Final stabilization for this area
seven years ago this was a desert of shifting sand. European beachgrass provided initial stabilization; native red fescue, Seashore bluegrass, seaside lupine, and purple beachpea are now affording complete protection

P062:734: Complete stabilization
Seven years ago this was a shifting mass of sand. European beachgrass afforded initial stabilization -- Cow clover was seeded for permanent protection

Drifting sand is a constant hazard to traffic that must use this road, as well as continuing job for a maintenance crew
August 1935
1
P062:736: Traffic rolls on unimpeded
Permanent vegetation has stabilized the sand and replaced the maintenance crew. A hard surfaced road is replacing the boardwalk. The fence line and posts are not part of the conservation program. Nine years have changed the feeling from desolation and despair to one of permanent stability and pride

P062:738: Eight years from denuded sand to permanent vegetation

P062:739: Once this was completely covered with a luxuriant grass mat.
Overgrazing disturbed the top layer of soil. Blowouts started; soon tow protecting parallel dunes on right and left were torn apart and the trough in center was scoured free of vegetation. initial stabilization of the area has again been effected by planting European beachgrass
August 1937
1
P062:740: Seven years and the wounds are rapidly being healed
Woody vegetation provides a most permanent type of cover and is a form of plastic surgery used in reshaping the dune ridges

Scotch broom planted as a nurse crop for the Shore pine which were planted at a 6x6 foot spacing. This was an area of denuded sand in 1935
Sept. 1941

five years growth on the pines has provided a solid vegetal cover on this area that only nine years ago was denuded

Of particular note are images of The Dalles Public Market, the Monmouth Cooperative Creamery, the Oliver Ranch in Grant County, several group photographs of Oregon county agents and leaders, and photographs of Ballard and George Peavy. Photographers represented in the Ballard photos include the Columbia Commercial Studio, Asahel Curtis (Seattle), the Elite Studio (The Dalles), Benjamin A. Gifford, C. Moore, Arthur M. Prentiss, Lester Rounds, R.L. Stinson (Klamath Falls), the Weister Company, and L.J. Young (Nampa, Idaho).
