Collection No. 55-013

Correspondence, reports, crop records, minutes of meetings, legislation, articles, and photographs* from Texas and Oklahoma relating to Walter Dimmitt Bentley (1856-1930) and his work with the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Work, OAMC's Extension Division and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) field work.

Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Work was a program sponsored by the USDA under the direction of Dr. Seaman Knapp. Its purpose was to demonstrate to farmers improved and diversified methods of farming to combat the devastation caused by the cotton boil weevil in the south. This was accomplished by agents traveling the area, lecturing and demonstrating the methods of using pure seed, deep plowing, frequent shallow cultivation and growing all home supplies. Bentley included instructions to boys, girls and women, setting up Boys and Girls Corn Clubs and Ladies Canning Clubs. Bentley began work in Texas in 1904 as special agent for the Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Work. Western Oklahoma was added to his region in 1907 and in 1908 he was assigned all of Oklahoma. In 1914 as a result of the Smith-Lever Act the FCDW was combined with the Extension Division at Oklahoma A&M College in Stillwater and Bentley became the first director. In 1916 Bentley was appointed USDA Federal Field Agent in charge of the cooperative extension work in Oklahoma and Texas. In 1918 he returned to Oklahoma and served as Assistant Director and for a time Director of the Extension Division at OAMC until his retirement in 1929.

Arranged in series: Administration, Boys' and Girls' Clubs, Conferences and Meetings, Correspondence, Demonstration Farms. Extension History, Seaman Knapp, Legislation, Personal (Bentley), and Report Books.
