Donated by Jo Stiverson, March 2013; The donor, Jo Stiverson, inherited the books. After the Warshauer Company dissolved in the 1940's these books were given to the Thompson's who owned a business called Romeo Feed and Hardware Co in Romeo, Colorado. The Thompson's gave the books to Leslie Spencer and Marie Iola Porter in the late 1970's. Leslie was the Conejos County Extension Agen from 1952 until his retirement in 1972. In the U.S. an extension agent is generally a university employee who develops and delivers educational programs to assist people in economic and community development, leadership, family issues, agriculture and environment. Another program area provided by extensions agents is 4-H and youth activities. Many extension agents work for cooperative extension service programs at land-grant universities. They are sometimes referred to as county agents, extension specialists or extension educators.
