Summary "A Decade of Negro Extension Work, 1914-1924" by O. B. Martin is a historical account published in the early 20th century. This work details the efforts and significant progress made by agricultural extension programs aimed at improving the lives of African American farmers and their families in the Southern United States. It likely discusses various aspects of agricultural development, including land ownership, home improvement, and educational initiatives, aiming to provide insight into the progress and challenges faced by the African American community during this period. Throughout the book, Martin chronicles the evolution of the Negro extension work, emphasizing the importance of cooperative efforts and practical demonstrations in farming and home management. The text outlines various programs introduced to enhance agricultural productivity and living conditions, such as crop demonstrations, home economics, club work for youth, and the development of cooperative associations. Highlights from the work include personal success stories of farmers who transformed their lives through these initiatives, as well as the significant increase in land ownership among Negroes during this decade. The book serves as a testament to the substantial achievements made in spite of the prevailing socio-economic challenges of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
