Glenn County Municipal Code § 2.48

The board is authorized and directed to enter into agreement with the University of California and the United States Department of Agriculture to establish agricultural extension and home economics service in the county, and, to that end, for each fiscal year, to appropriate and use the requisite county funds and place them at the disposition of the University of California and the United States Department of Agriculture for the expenses of the farm advisor, home economics demonstration agent, and other extension agents for the county, as the director of extension may direct, the entire salary of the farm advisor, home economics demonstration agent, and other extension agents, to be borne by the University of California and the United States Department of Agriculture jointly; all in accordance with Section 31401 of the Education Code of the state of California. (Ord. 274 § 1 (part), 1948.)

The reasons for the adoption of this chapter and for the establishment of agricultural extension and home economics service in Glenn County are the following advantages thus made available; Glenn County is the only agricultural county in California not taking advantage of this service; the forty-eight other agricultural counties in California find such service a necessity, or an economically indispensable aid:

1. To have dairy herd improvement cow test records;

2. To have 4-H Clubs in the county;

3. To have home economics demonstrations and assistance;

4. To have the best available assistance in increasing butterfat content of production from dairies, neighboring counties having found this assistance caused such increase to extend twenty-five percent;

5. To have supervised test plots for seed and fertilizers;

6. To have requisite information to eradicate or control animal disease and insect pests;

7. To have the value of the federal and state aid that county taxes already support lost to the county if the county fails to bear its relatively small share of the expense to make available to it agricultural extension and home economics service.
