New Farm Demonstrator (Alpheus M. Goodman)
Bernardsville News, Mar 9 1916, P. 5, Col. 3
"Alpheus M. Goodman has taken up his work as farm demonstrator for Morris County. He was appointed by the board of managers of the state experiment station, and his salary is paid partly by the state and United States and partly by the county, an appropriation having been made by the Board of Freeholders at the first meeting of the year.
To Mr. Goodman has been assigned an office in the court house at Morristown opposite that of the superintendent of schools, but he expects to travel about the county, using an automobile for that purpose.
Mr. Goodman is a native of Orange county, N. Y., and a graduate of Cornell University of the class of 1912. Since that time he has been engaged in the dairy extension department of the United States Department of Agriculture in the Northeastern states. He says that his first work here will be to get acquainted with the roads, soils and farmers. He does not want the people to think he has come here to teach them how to farm, but to regard him as the connecting link between the state experiment station and the farms."
