Various state specialist positions were created to assist county agents in agricultural subject matter teaching. The first state specialist was assistant director Ralph W.

Monohorn because assistant county agent leader and Raymond H. Fogler, executive secretary. The original funding for the Cooperative Extension came from the General Education Board. The Smith-Lever Act of 1914 resulted in an increase in funding for the Cooperative Extension from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and State of Maine which allowed for more county agents to be appointed: Wilson M. More in Franklin, Harold J. Shaw in Sagadahoc, and Harold H. Nash in York. In 1915, Androscoggin was combined with Sagadahoc becoming the Twin County. Also, in 1915 Joseph H.

Platts was appointed home economic specialist on September 16, Similarly to other specialists the home economic specialist would carry out demonstrations across the state. The boys' and girls' 4-H Club began work in 1913 with Frank H. Bickford as the first state leader. The Cooperative Extensions continues to conduct research to work in homes, businesses, farms, and Maine communities. The Extension's educational efforts focus on the Maine Food System, Positive Youth Development, and Community and Economic Development. In addition to state offices in Orono, there is a network of county-based offices staffed by experts who provide practical, locally based solutions for farmers, small business owners, kids, parents, consumers, and others.
