"Just as the 1950s served as the formative period for 'agricultural communications research,' so we may hope that the 1960's will see an intensification of such research plus its much wider application by our agricultural institutions."

Office of Experiment Station Bulletin No. 154., Comment by Hall: "It is the experiment station and not the agricultural college that has wrought such a marvelous change in the farmers of America toward scientific agriculture. Professor Chamberlain comments upon the change in the institutes that took place soon after the Hatch Act brought into existence the experiment stations, as follows: 'It was my privilege to compare the agricultural conventions of the state (Wisconsin) at two periods separated by a decade within which the experiment station became a potent influence. The dominant intellectual and moral attitude of the earlier period was distinctly disputatious and dogmatic. .. In the second period the dominant attitude was that of scientific conference.'"
