James F. Evans Collection; INTERPAKS, Examines the role of the extension specialist in facilitating the flow of research results to farmers and obtaining feedback of farmers' problems for use in research. Refers to Northern Nigeria. Emphasizes that research in agriculture is of little value unless the results reach the users and are effectively utilized by farmers. Notes that the concept and organization of an extension and research liaison service to facilitate the two-way research feedback flow is necessary. Extension specialists' responsibilities are identified. The need for improving information in Northern Nigeria is based on the fact that agricultural research and output in that country is probably twenty years ahead of the farmer. Yet, after nearly two decades of experience with an appreciably improved extension service, the country has not attained the goals and objectives of a sustained economic growth in the agricultural sector.
