Subseries: Forms part of Series 30 in the University of Florida Archives Public Records Collection. Subseries 30a contains correspondence of the Agricultural Experiment Station and the Florida Cooperative Extension Service, written during the period that Peter Henry Rolfs directed both, with bureaus of the United States Department of Agriculture. The principal USDA bureau represented here are Animal Industry, Plant Industry, and States Relation Service. The files include substantive letters on issues of state and regional concern, but also trivial communication on administrative and insignificant matters. There are no subject divisions and little attempt has been made to remove unimportant documents. A large portion of the subseries consists of correspondence with the States Relation Service. The files entitled "Office of Extension Work in the South" document the early development of the Florida Cooperative Extension Service and agricultural and rural issues germane to the southern states.
