Suggests that relatively little agricultural communications research is carried out because administrators direct most available funds to other areas of agricultural research (e.g., pigs).

Feels that experiment station literature is losing ground in the scientific world. "..scientists generally are not looking to the experiment station bulletin for important contributions to science." Suggests that the station editor can help maintain high scientific standards, as well as high editorial standards. "Briefly, then, believing that the chief function of an experiment station is to experiment and that the chief purpose of its publications is to describe the experiments and announce the results rather than to persuade people to adopt new and supposedly better practices, we are striving to raise the standards of our technical publications addressed to the scientist, whether he is primarily interested in agricultural research or not, and to make the publications addressed to our farmers technically sound and practically worth while."

Contains 6,005 biographical entries. Includes a directory of journals devoted to agriculture and rural life. Each entry includes title, name of editor, frequency, subscription price, year founded, and city of publication.
3 pages, online journal., Since its foundation, the Journal of Agricultural Education and Extension (JAEE) has always had a focus on publishing scientific articles that bring the field of agricultural education and extension studies forward. Over the years, the journal has moved beyond a mere focus on education and extension alone, to become a key forum to publish work on agricultural innovation, competence building, and entrepreneurship more broadly. Submissions come from all over the world, though some regions remain underrepresented. This has for example been noted for Latin America, which led to a special issue
Introduction: "Extension editors are outgrowing their title. An individual in information work for the Agricultural Extension Service today must be more than an editor; more than a radio or news man; more than a teacher; more than an experienced specialist or agent who knows how to write and speak through mass media. If we in agricultural extension information are to realize the full potential of our work, we must develop a new profession."
Includes an organizational chart showing the extension editor's linkages with Extension administration, specialists, contact mediums, organized groups and residents of West Virginia.

"The agricultural college editors stand at a very strategic point in the field of agricultural leadership. Through them the productive research of our laboratories may become articulate. As interpreters, they are liaison officers between the scientist and the farmer. The future of agriculture depends largely upon the quality of this interpretative process."

Brief summary of a talk by W. P. Kirkwood, University of Minnesota, at 1931 AAACE convention, Corvallis, Oregon.. American Association of Agricultural College Editors.
Reports results of a national survey among experiment station editors about their present information organization and their suggestions about how they would like their present setup changed for more efficient operation. Seventy-eight percent cast their vote for a coordinated setup (involving agricultural research, extension and possibly resident instruction). Fifty-four percent of respondents operated currently in a coordinated setup and like it; 24 percent operated in a decentralized arrangement but wanted to change.
