The mission of the WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was to be a research institution focusing on original research and experiments to develop and improve agriculture and rural life. Specifically, the Experiment Station was engaged in research for soil improvement through improved fertilizers and fertilizer testing. To this end, the West Virginia state legislature passed a fertilizer act in 1891 requiring that samples of fertilizer be sent to the Experiment Station for testing and a Certificate of Inspection tag to be issued specifying the manufacturer, brand name and ingredients. Additionally, there was research for improvements in plant growth and in livestock breeding. The results of the Station's research were made public in the form of bulletins. These early bulletins were met with mixed feelings by farmers, in that they felt  they were too technical and not very practical.","By the turn of twentieth century the Agriculture Experiment Station began taking on a larger statewide footprint. The 1901 West Virginia Crop Pest Law empowered the Experiment Station to take control of eradicating agricultural pests within the state, such as San Jose Scale, through inspection and destruction of infested orchards and crops and the inspection of trees and plants, and other agricultural products entering West Virginia.","Moreover, the role of WVU Agricultural Experiment Station had evolved over time from research to teaching and outreach as well. Consequently, the Station became the foundation for new cooperative extension work created by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Smith-Lever established cooperative extension work at land grant institutions through a partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture. The mission of Smith-Lever was teaching and practical presentations in agriculture and home economics to rural residents. This included home economics, such as nutrition and money management; community development through economic development; and rural development, through community outreach with extension agents located in each county. The Station's new teaching role was important to farmers who could learn new practical cultivation techniques in a non-academic setting.  Smith-Lever's outreach mission ultimately led to the 1913 creation of Farmer's Short Courses, one-to-three-week courses on the best agricultural practices, which were held in Morgantown and around the state.","The WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was engaged in many other activities in the years leading up to World War I. The station sold brooding eggs to farmers to increase poultry production in the state. It promoted the Good Road Movement, a national effort to improve rural roads and improve rural life. The Station also played an important role in securing farm labor for the labor shortage caused by World War I and the millions of American men serving overseas.","John A. Myers served as the first WVU Agricultural Experiment Station director. Before he arrived at WVU, Myers, a chemist, had served at other universities and as the state chemist for Mississippi. He established the WVU Experiment Station in 1888 and oversaw the construction of the experiment station building, completed in 1893. He served as its director for nearly ten years. James H. Stewart replaced Myers in 1897, serving until 1911. Dwight E. Sanderson was the next director, serving from 1911 to 1915. John Lee Coulter was the last station director during this early period, serving from 1915 to 1921. The Agricultural Experiment Station, now the West Virginia University Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is still in existence today in 2025.","Related names include T.C.

The mission of the WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was to be a research institution focusing on original research and experiments to develop and improve agriculture and rural life. Specifically, the Experiment Station was engaged in research for soil improvement through improved fertilizers and fertilizer testing. To this end, the West Virginia state legislature passed a fertilizer act in 1891 requiring that samples of fertilizer be sent to the Experiment Station for testing and a Certificate of Inspection tag to be issued specifying the manufacturer, brand name and ingredients. Additionally, there was research for improvements in plant growth and in livestock breeding. The results of the Station's research were made public in the form of bulletins. These early bulletins were met with mixed feelings by farmers, in that they felt  they were too technical and not very practical.","By the turn of twentieth century the Agriculture Experiment Station began taking on a larger statewide footprint. The 1901 West Virginia Crop Pest Law empowered the Experiment Station to take control of eradicating agricultural pests within the state, such as San Jose Scale, through inspection and destruction of infested orchards and crops and the inspection of trees and plants, and other agricultural products entering West Virginia.","Moreover, the role of WVU Agricultural Experiment Station had evolved over time from research to teaching and outreach as well. Consequently, the Station became the foundation for new cooperative extension work created by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. Smith-Lever established cooperative extension work at land grant institutions through a partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture. The mission of Smith-Lever was teaching and practical presentations in agriculture and home economics to rural residents. This included home economics, such as nutrition and money management; community development through economic development; and rural development, through community outreach with extension agents located in each county. The Station's new teaching role was important to farmers who could learn new practical cultivation techniques in a non-academic setting.  Smith-Lever's outreach mission ultimately led to the 1913 creation of Farmer's Short Courses, one-to-three-week courses on the best agricultural practices, which were held in Morgantown and around the state.","The WVU Agricultural Experiment Station was engaged in many other activities in the years leading up to World War I. The station sold brooding eggs to farmers to increase poultry production in the state. It promoted the Good Road Movement, a national effort to improve rural roads and improve rural life. The Station also played an important role in securing farm labor for the labor shortage caused by World War I and the millions of American men serving overseas.","John A. Myers served as the first WVU Agricultural Experiment Station director. Before he arrived at WVU, Myers, a chemist, had served at other universities and as the state chemist for Mississippi. He established the WVU Experiment Station in 1888 and oversaw the construction of the experiment station building, completed in 1893. He served as its director for nearly ten years. James H. Stewart replaced Myers in 1897, serving until 1911. Dwight E. Sanderson was the next director, serving from 1911 to 1915. John Lee Coulter was the last station director during this early period, serving from 1915 to 1921. The Agricultural Experiment Station, now the West Virginia University Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station, is still in existence today in 2025.","Related names include T.C.
