As a result of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, land-grant universities were authorized to begin cooperative extension work with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Smith-Lever Act made provisions for the use of County Extension agents to educate farmers, provide help in farming, and help with 4-H Clubs and Home Demonstration agents to provide help in running a farm household and provide health information. County and Home Demonstration agents work in cooperation with North Carolina State University and North Carolina A and T.

MoreThe North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service, Office of the Director Records contain correspondence, memoranda, brochures, budgets, reports, project agreements, legal documents, datasets, training documents, scrapbooks, videocassettes, photographs, CD-ROMs, and floppy disks. Topics covered include the day-to-day administrative functions of Cooperative Extension, special training programs, awards ceremonies, state legislation, projects funded by the Southern Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, partnerships with commercial agricultural growers' associations, and the civil case Philip Bazemore versus William Friday. Materials range in date from 1907 to 2010. From its inception as the North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, North Carolina State University has been deeply involved in outreach and extension work. In the 1890s and early 1900s, college personnel took part in numerous Farmer's Institutes statewide, where they and state Agriculture Department personnel met with local farmers to discuss farm improvement techniques. In 1907 James A. Butler became North Carolina's first county agent, hired to conduct demonstration work in boll weevil eradication. Greatly boosting extension work, the 1914 Smith-Lever Act provided for federal, state, and county cooperation in creating a system to expand demonstration and extension work for men and women. The law authorized land-grant colleges to sign memoranda of understanding with the United States Department of Agriculture to begin such work. With this, NC State created a new Department of Extension. The county offices report to Extension administration, based jointly at NC State University and North Carolina A&T University. Through this system, Cooperative Extension aims to disseminate information about food and agriculture, health and nutrition, and youth development. This is accomplished through partnerships, programs, publications, and expertise on the local level.

At the beginning of 1956, Agronomy was divided into the Department of Field Crops and the Department of Soil Science. In 1962, Field Crops changed its name to the Department of Crop Science to better reflect its focus. Dr. Major Goodman has been head of the Maize Breeding and Genetics program since 1983. This program improves upon traditional maize breeding through the incorporation of exotic germplasm and quantitative genetics theory. It is still in operation and headed by Dr. Goodman as of 2013.

The lantern slides were hand colored by Effie Brown Earll Slingerland, an artist and advocate for women's suffrage. With the founding of NC State College in 1889, five academic divisions were created, one of which was the department of Horticulture, Arboriculture, and Botany. Following the general reorganization of the School of Agriculture in 1923, the horticultural extension work performed outside the department became fully integrated with the academic and research activities of the department. Today, the Department of Horticultural Science occupies Kilgore Hall (constructed in 1952), employs over fifty faculty, and continues to play an important role in state-wide horticultural research and extension. The department assumed its current name in 1962.
